Knocking noise
3K revs in any gear? So it's governed by engine speed rather than road speed?

Whoosh
Do you have a boost gauge? If I have the boost between 0 and -0.2 I get a lovely whistle when spooling up. Smiles all day long [emoji16] [emoji5]

Nostalgic about cars you used to own
If you remember the reg, load that in the mot/tax checker. Prepare for broken hearts.

It's not just about the car
You can use importcarparts.Co.UK for service parts. Great value and all genuine Subaru parts.

How have you fixed your pod
I have a pillar/dash pod and wedge it on place with a Scooby doo teddy. It's just a single pod though. Wasn't wedge here for decoration. How about some Velcro?

Good price. Mine cost £640. Have prices dropped that much. Feel like a lemon now [emoji23] [emoji85]

tires
Your sidewall will be larger. Speedo may be slightly out now. 205/45 is 9.2cm sidewall, 245/45 is 11cm sidewall(leaving out the odd mm).

Is that before dyno cost? The turbo did well there. How are you finding the earlier delivery now?

Help Check Guide Buying 1st Subaru
To visually check a shock you're looking for an oily stain down the casing. It'll look wet or like it's had WD40 on it. You can feel it too if you can get your hands in. Could also bounce each corner although it's a bit of a primitive technique. If you test drive the car and it has failed you may notice that shock feels boaty and not as solid as the others. Excessive bouncing will also show a problem.

It's not just about the car
Glad you've all enjoyed it 😊 I've had mine just over a year and the flashing never gets old. Just don't ask gambit to flash you. Nothing beats the feeling walking out in the morning and seeing a scoob parked up. Along comes that smug feeling "oh yeah! That's mine". Then you start attending meets and shows. It's a whole different feeling sat in traffic caused by 120 Subarus... I've had a good little group with me down south in Kent. All top bananas. They even came to my wedding 😏

Performance air filter
I also use the cosworth panel filter on my classic. Keep in mind it's a servicable item due to be changed at regular intervals.

Performance air filter
Are you looking for a panel or cold air induction kit? General consensus is to avoid oil soaked elements. They cause havoc with mafs.

2004 wrx subframe removal
Be careful with those lower braces. I had one on a different car and when I parked up a kerb it caught on a slightly raised kerb and bet it to buggery.

Very nice! Welcome to the club. You got a grown ups car now [emoji5] [emoji5] [emoji23] 👍 Forever ribbing my mate cos he went for an Astra vxr over an impreza or evo.
