  1. Sounds like a great example - I would suggest creating a thread in the for sale section and add the photos to there. We do get a lot of views in that section from non members

    Apologies - forgot the 's' has twin pipes - will an STI pipe not fit, may have to go cat back though?
  3. Some being broken on facebook currently. Pole Position Wolves have some bonnets but given your location I would talk to Shah at Nippon Autospares https://nipponautospares.com/
  4. Yes - I use the H&R hubcentric 20mm on my hatch Before front Before rear After front After rear

    Is it the back box itself or the heat shield above it? fitted a resonated cobra wrx s system to my RX, great fitment and sound plus stainless steel so will not need to replace
  6. Yup a lot of manufacturers are using LED's more and more. Is it worth checking to see if it a loose wire on a circuit board? Failing that keep an eye out for people breaking from a front end smash. There dont seem to be the alibaba aftermarket options for your year yet as it looks like new imprezas share the same unit but are a bulb connection like the previous version of your motor
  7. Great to hear the positive feedback
  8. Wow - that is a chunk of money 😮
  9. Hi - All down to what you plan to use the car for? Performance tarmac, daily commute / school run, towing, off road tracks, off road goat tracks, occasional weekday use with autocross at weekends?
  10. Not a levorg buuuut - replaced the headunits in the imprezas for an immediate improvement, next will be the speakers as they are not brilliant, still missing some bass though and am looking at an underseat unit for the passenger seat. May end up with an amp but I have been here before and ICE is as bad as tuning, its a slippery slope 😁
  11. @Pete - Levorg is our most recent Levorg owner - may be he can share some thoughts?
  12. Had zero issues with my 2.0 NA engine, have massive issues with a 2.5 turbo that had been built by Scooby clinic - failed after 4K (1K in my ownership) so good an bad experiences. If properly maintained they can be very reliable, many examples do over 200K. You may find the power to weight ratio of the 1.6 engine in the levorg to be not great particularly if you have a full load buuuut saying that I have never driven a levorg and also I do not know what cars you are used to - if you are switching from a renault 5 gt turbo to the levorg you will def have issues as that Renault is effectively a go kart with a turbo strapped to it EDIT.... Just checked the specs on the 1.6, turbo with circa 168bhp with kerb weight of around 1620Kg - You should be just fine with those figures
  13. That would work as an initial setting, you may find you need more, some newage imprezas are running -1.75 to -2.0. I cannot find my last printout (it was a few years back) and haven't had one done recently so cannot help any more than this unfortunately. I will need to get a full alignment done this year and was intending to get a fast road / track setup done down at Litchfield and will share those results with you, so again more information that is no use to you at this point 🙃
  14. a point that may be relevant - the front and rear links are different sizes on my 08 hatch may be the same on your 07. A piece of metal bent at 90 degrees with a couple of hole drilled in it will probably get you through your MOT I dont think the tolerance on these items is too fine
  15. What do you want / need doing? This will be worth getting an idea on as when you contact different places they will want to to know your requirements. The reason for this is due to soooo many options available - a basic service to full forged rebuild £100 - £3K ++++ dependent on spec
  16. If you build it - they will come..... possibly. Its a good idea, give it a go and see what the response is
  17. Hi - not sure how injectors could generate white smoke as there sole purpose is to put diesel into your air flow. White smoke for me means coolant is being burnt at the same time as your fuel / air mixture. Keep an eye on your coolant. You will get white smoke out of your pipes until warm with most vehicles, more visible when its colder outside, is it possible you just hadn't noticed that before?

    It does seem like the Subaru dealer has some room for improvement in the customer service department - not great at all. It does sound like you will be happier with your new motor, which is what it is all about 👍
  19. Jay762 replied to ernieb's topic in Subaru XV Club
    Hope you find it an enjoyable experience - but you know where we are if you find that side of the family not as much fun 😁
  20. Do you have an idea on price? Good luck with the sale
  21. Wotcha and welcome. I would say it depends on your budget as there are options for WRX, WRX STI and WRX STI 'Widetrack' models from 2005. There are some other editions which are more subtle with leather interior you could consider. I would suggest take your time and research what model you would like whilst also getting an idea of current prices. Also be prepared to travel for the right motor
  22. Try metric fine m16 x 1.5, I had to get some - did the same thing as you but it was a different model car so cannot guarantee In stainless steel they were £2.00 per nut
  23. Clean car - good luck with the sale
  24. Check out OPIE oils for a selection and there was 15% off oil and filter packs using SP15 https://www.opieoils.co.uk/
