  1. With you on that ,try sneaking 6k+From To Too much to list Going to be sensible this time as will end up with an sti or rs4 next . Do like in keeping tbh ,after spoiler,high level sti one and wheel refurb I will possibly get a map...... Other than a new gps double din unit that's it this time. No point in bigger turbos unless it breaks soon lol ,daily chariot so need it drivable. Been there and got the bad back from messing with big rims and lowering .......not to mention dinged rims! I find it spot on for my needs tbh,don't get me wrong,imho 350hp is the magic number for me but too much ££££. Easier to get an sti!
  2. Hi there.............honestly its not for me at all. But thats just me ;)
  3. ven replied to I_MNL's topic in Subaru Impreza Club
    Congrats,so its not just a good friday.........its a very very good friday :D
  4. IMO no need,as said drive slow for last 1/2 mile or so,or when parked after a (on boost run ie motorway)drive, let it idle for 30 seconds........thats my turbo timer. Enough time for the turbo to slow and not fry any oil thats there as its spinning 100k rpm. As said insurance do not like them............or so i have found when asked years back!
  5. Hi Ethan,another fan of the classic,hope you get sorted soon :) My 1st sub ,had mine around 6 months to and love it. Had a big 4x4 for years,so always wanted a nippy awd motor and so my journey begins :)
  6. Not sure, but have you checked manifold/s ,possibly a fracture or around the turbo area. How is it after a run..........better/worse,does noise get worse under load for example. Any particulate side? maybe winding pass window down,then drivers to help which side whilst driving(just a thought)
  7. So guys ,as a well priced decice ,what would you recommend please as I will more than likely invest in one. I have been surprisingly refunded fully without asking(not got to that stage yet as giving a chance .......just the right thing to do). Got message saying sorry not happy,issued full refund (only £25) but all the same professional. Touching wood......ok I am clamping it !!! Never had points or speeding tickets,one reason I have decided to get one to be more aware. More so in Wales where the van is and we know there are some nice roads to drive :-) and over keen with speed! Have an iPhone 6+ If any good apps,could just buy a holder! Was looking at a double din gps but not cheap for a good one...... Worth getting a decent naf sat? (Deliberate and not the iPad ) which has camera locations etc on. Do these pick up mobile units and for example average speed camera that seem to have littered the m60 for example? Links would be great/appreciated :-) Or do I just get the head unit and have a neat all in one device(if it has the software for cameras that is) Just don't want a cluttered dash,case of less is more for me,not a halfords ram raid of stick on dials ,screens and compasses lol Cheers all Ven :-)
  8. Welcome,if i come across them i will let you know asap and post to you ;)
  9. Just been back in history to last year,checked bought item,clicked on shop and found same http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Impreza-01-04-Crystal-Light-Smoked-Side-Repeaters-1-Pair-/161099065843?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item258240a9f3 Might be a generic lens pic , BUT iirc they had sold out thinking back. They messaged me saying they had that type not in stock but will not charge the £2 extra cost over the ones i paid for.........if makes sense. Either way,i was happy with the smoked ones i received,would have been happy with either as i did not look too much into the patterns.
  10. In hand,top clear,bottom smoked but its not a real dark smoked(if makes sense). I guess at the colour(slow colour) making it look different and in the light,where as the in hand pic is shadowed by me(blocking a little light) Other angles show imho smoked would look better,little cleaner on the sides,clear do seem to stand out quite a bit(not as much as orange though) Not sure which the smoked are tbh,i just ordered them and the plastic pattern was different to the clear lens pattern.
  11. Just off to halfords................slowly ..................to get my red paint :D Or should it be silver :P
  12. Hi there,really liking the subaru B)
  13. I am sure its statistically proven that silver is the safest colour! Because you cant drive quick enough to have an accident :P
  14. Oh yes
  15. tbh i preferred the smoked,not too dark and would suit your dark green well(clear may stand out a bit) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SMOKED-SIDE-INDICATORS-WING-REPEATERS-SUBARU-IMPREZA-01-04-/141557182877?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item20f577319d Clear Next to each other Not too much difference,just a little more discrete
  16. This is behind For an idea on size
  17. 52 plate, ones i ordered pre smoked are http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-IMPREZA-01-04-SIDE-INDICATORS-WING-REPEATERS-CRYSTAL-CLEAR-/390916399219?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5b046ee073 Come with orange bulbs. So annoyed like i say,if i find them ,they are yours Need to think..............dangerous i know I looked in boot before in my little plastic tool case............nope :( I am sure i put them upstairs out of the way with the oe ones!
  18. Nah,ruled out,cheetahs for example are the quickest land animal due to BLACK spots :P Also black cars get you hotter quicker in summer
  19. I am presuming clear here................i have the oe orange ones I am looking for these If the orange are the ones,pm add and will post tomorrow FOC
  20. Gutted just been looking in bedroom,wardrobe,under bed even!! all those man hiding places...... Been in garage and its chocker from studio equipment,fought through it(no easy task) and stll can not find the box with them in :( Located the oe set or orange ones,not the clear as i bought clear,then within days i bought smoked and swapped out so not even used for long(day or 3 so as new).. If i come across them,its bothering me now as i would not sell them or throw them out,only possibility is they have been thrown out by accident in garage clear out before loading with studio stuff(unlikely imho). They are yours for free if found anyway,wont give up yet unless someone has some for you. Why is it i find the old orange ones and not clear Cheers ven
  21. Hi there,i am sure i have some new ones,clear let me look now
  22. When i get around to a map,it will be Duncan and 3 port,already checked out prices etc with him. Thats a good return on hp is that :) ,on the newage (well some apparently get away with it) get and eml light after removing a cat so needs to be mapped out. I have heard it spools 500rpm earlier ...............only a good thing for me :) I nearly went 3" but was concerned with noise so stuck with 2.5" (for my requirements i dont think the 0.5" will make much difference tbh on the bugeye as keeping the td04 as an every day drive). Going to get a cobra centre section next,after that maybe cat removed and map. No immediate plans tbh as happy right now,dont want to burn it all out quick,get bored then end up changing car(has happened previous with me) . Also fell into the trap of ever ending mods=££££ and does not go down well with the boss Have to be a sneaky sneak!!! Well other than the spoiler........... ;) Thanks for the advice :)
  23. Well i have been trying my pile of *beep* inforad v4e.............what crap 1st would not upload,but credit where due,they sorted it by taking over laptop and uploaded a different driver,all done...........so i thought........ Thought i would test it on a static camera that has only been there about 10yrs..........maybe longer and a big fat nothing Uploaded again on a whim..........went down m60 with all the average speed cameras,been there maybe a year,working from Jan,and again nothing So i await more feedback,yes £25 so i guess you get what you pay for, not giving in just yet! But its not even heavy enough for a paper weight Same as........ http://www.amazon.co.uk/Inforad-Warning-rechargeable-battery-detector/dp/B001IWOKVE Before i put a paypal claim in,will give another chance,not replied to my last message on friday,so will give till tue,another message then thats it, Will require sending back to Ireland,already cost £5 so another£5 = £10 out of pocket=not happy. Tried now 3 times to make sure up to date,had the green lights for searching satellites,then 2 amber to say ready............and thats it More principle than the £10.................... So if going to but one,buy once cry once and dont do what I did ,thinking this cheap pile of *beep* will do the job!!
  24. From a little re-search it looks like you can fit unequal headers,but it is also recommended to replace cat back or at least the rear silencer too. If latter not done then a decent back section and centre section,good panel filter be it K&N or cosworth will help. I just put a panel filter and cobra exhaust,the difference is quite surprising regarding noise. I already had a quiet burble,but now far more distinct. It is noted though,not being t/c you wont quite get the same burble noise.......of the wrx/sti iirc your zaust is 2.25",as long as the flange is the same size(matches bolt holes) and have new gaskets at the ready then going to a 2.5" should be issue free. Double check though!,i know i can go to 3" full system from my 2.5" diameter pipe as the flanges are the same size.(example)............i am not though,dont want too loud or risk any loss in back pressure without mapping(unsure if i would or not loose pressure).
