Nice motor - good luck with the sale

Wotcha and welcome - I see Mr B has the question covered in a separate thread

Sell the Audi privately at a price you are prepared to live with - this may take some time though, however this will put you in a position of being cash buyer and will have maybe broken even or be in a reduced borrowing position. Then start looking for Subarus again, possibly buy a v cheap runaround eg £500 to allow you to not rush into a purchase. Be prepared to travel, I did a 400 mile round trip to get mine, some people have done more

Wotcha and welcome - yup looks like a serious brake check hopefully no-one was hurt

Wotcha and welcome!!

Wotcha and welcome, freer flowing exhaust and a panel filter is the most cost effective but wont give huge gains, as above power to weight ratio and chassis improvements are a better investment

Wotcha and welcome, plenty of Fozzie owners on this forum so feel free to get stuck in

Set up a specific thread in the for sale section as it will get greater visibility - plus we do like a photo so have your camera handy

A car like that if you do want rid very quickly after buying it just sell privately - trade in value is not worth considering as at the moment good condition scoobs are retaining their value and in some cases (Type R's, Widetrack STI's etc) are increasing

Double tubing is one option or using a thicker tube brazed to the plate in place of the original tube. A lot of the aftermarket support legs are stamped so not flat to increase strength. @aucky if I can get the money behind me for my startup we should talk

JCT had some good feedback - scoobies have been going up in price over last two years or so - the roaring business in breaking them is having quite the impact. The photos were taken with the car in the rain so you cannot see the condition of the bodywork but it does look clean enough elsewhere. Is he doing the pulleys as well as the belt? consider investing in a water pump to get replaced at same time as belt as useful to do whilst the belt is off

looking good

Wotcha and welcome - pull the door panel and use multimeter or lead with a 12v light on it going to earth to see if you get power either side of relay or switch points.

bigger / wider wheels or same width with spacers to fill arches. Possibly look at chassis upgrades to make it a bit stiffer, if it is anything like my NA RX it will roll into corners a bit. panel filter and a cat back exhaust for a little extra fruityness

very desirable motor you have there, some have gone for ridiculous prices - if you want top dollar I would suggest a specialist auction house.

looks like a double din unit, food for thought but there are many to choose from with differing styles and functionality https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/kenwood-dpx-7000dab-cd-car-stereo-dab-radio-bluetooth-usb-aux-ipod-iphone-player-aerial.html You may need one of these? https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/subaru-steering-wheel-interface-adaptors.html

pinned and following

wotcha and welcome - GTiR, great motor

or you could get an earlier motor and put a hawk front end on - blob widetrack STI for instance?

Wotcha and welcome - mice piece of kit you have there, plans.... sounds like a project thread in the offing, keep a camera handy

good move - yes they should be 5x100 pcd, dont know the offset off the top of head though

A replacement unit is an option although dependant on model you may lose any steering wheel controls. Not heard of the bluetooth dongle option in the rear but dependant on what input would be connecting it to there may be a cable option also

Wotcha and welcome - thats a tidy looking motor

wont be making many UK track days with that reading
