Wotcha and welcome - yup they are great little family runarounds

yup the Nordics can indeed throw out a fair few decent rally drivers

CS400, 22B, 2008 Hatch

Discovered the waterpump on the RX has two pipes for coolant not the three on the replacement I was sent - blanking off the redundant pipe is not an option as the manifold is 'different' and it will get in the way You learn something new everyday...

I came across this a couple of weeks back - awesome refresh they have done on it - oh in answer to the original question - not this week

very stealthy

Wotcha and welcome

I was looking at the forge option for my STI - for all the good reasons, sound (thanks youtube) build quality, it was a direct replacement for the existing one, you could have it as a recirc or VTA but also if I didn't like it I knew I could sell it on no problem because of it being designed to fit as a direct replacement no adapter plates or anything or issues with running / setup

Awesome work there Tom, Id love to be doing the same thing for Jap motors in the not too distant future...

Wotcha and welcome - what do you want to use the car for - the classic will will give a more rewarding drivers car experience but the newage motors are slightly more comfortable, 2.5 lumps in the later newage models give more torque lower in the rev range some have had the ringland failure and have had forged internals as a result. A standard car with a remap will apparently address the issue which causes it. You can get some nice imports for that money running a 2.0 twinscroll setup, just not as common. Either way keep us posted

after purchasing multi pack of drain keys from Halfords (using card of course) changed rear diff oil - then discovered front diff needs a star plug key

That is just ridiculous

This is one known to @savage bulldogs may be worth considering? http://www.scoobycity.co.uk/forums/forum/classified/for-sale/771402-sti-import-for-sale

Yup some people turn up to work and expect that is enough to get paid - clearly with little / no understanding of the relationship between themselves, the customer, the product / service and the business / company they are in

When you get bored of it

Could be a Hawk

I had good service from Gary Bell at the new Telford dealership - followed up on an enquiry I had sent an email screen shot and a part number also good service from Doncaster Subaru - after a recommend from Sheffield Scoobie Services However Worcester / Pershore didnt bother getting back to me after they said they would. These sites may help For STI goodies (Be warned though I lost 2 hours the other day to this link) https://www.japanparts.com/parts/carmodel.php?dl=1&st=1 For part numbers - not UK orientated though but ok so far for what I was looking for http://parts.subaru.com/Subaru__.html

Looking good - I like the contrast in bonnet / roof setup but would have to see how the wrap stood up over time, cracking motor though

Had it more in the STI not having the the scoop makes it more low profile but do still acknowledge them myself though

Wotcha and welcome - they do indeed induce a big grin

Suzuki TS50ER Suzuki DR600 Yamaha RD350 YPVS F2 MK1 Astra 1.2 in beige - got resprayed black, went through so many starter motors being worn out as it it would run fine for 100's of miles then as I pulled off motorways it would just stall - never knew why?? - will probably own a Mk1 GTE at some point. Yamaha FZR1000 Exup (current) Mk2 cavalier 1.8GLi - great engine just would not go around corners Mk2 Scirocco GTX - konis and eibachs combo all round meant i went around corners on rails Nissan 200sx s13 - pssssssssssh!!!! Honda accord 2.0 Honda Prelude 2.3 - put me off 4WS for life - no it doesnt lock in position on failure, it does what it wants and you crab sideways across lanes!! Merc Vito 110CDi (still got - cant see me ever being without a van now just so useful) Kawasaki KXF250 Yamaha FZR400 frame Thunderace 1000 engine R6 forks combo (Project) (current) Subaru Impreza Hatch Type UK Prodrive Pack (Pre 330s) Subaru Impreza RX Auto Hatch (current)

that's the info needed - should be snapped up in no time

Ok so I have just lost x2 hours browsing that site and my shopping list has gone from a single light to about 20 different items Best revise my budget

Yup a model specific site will get you more members / interaction with model in common and quite a few of the members on here contribute to other model specific sites - with this forum we throw a wide Subaru net but it takes time to build the depth with some areas being more successful than others. There is a GT86 parked up that we pass quite regularly by me and I get a nudge in the ribs from SWMBO as she fancies a little two door number so I can see one of those being added to the list at some point

That does look like a clean example - engine bay looks "honest" - there were a couple of people in the intros section looking for motors - might be worth pointing them in his direction?
