match made in heaven - would you consider a ceramic finish instead of heat wrap??

ooooooohhhhh exciting times ahead :)

its green in colour as its a coolant mix - not just water. There are not supposed to be any particles in it but I suspect someone has used radweld on it already. Have a look with a torch in the radiator itself see if it is coated with anything or just metal

Looking good - and some off-roading there as well ;) the lights do look a lot better de-tangoed IMO so a simple but effective mod - dont worry about how long it takes, we have no plans for disappearing just yet :)

Great stuff - like to see a nice progress and what members are doing to their pride and joy not heard of a scoobyrace tune - but then again I had no idea what a 'snorkus' was either so there you go :)

yay they stock it at Opie oils as well :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bilt-Hamber-Deox-Gel-Rust-Remover-Gelled-Corrosion-Remover-1000ml-bottle-/181229105982?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Car_Care_Cleaning&hash=item2a3218b33e

agreed that gel is something I will be investing in - the springs have come up well to - will be interesting to see how long they do last but powder coating springs is quite common particularly on bikes so I think they should last quite well

check you vin plate to get the model code that will give a clearer idea of what engine you have in place

Thanks for that Mr B - clearly got the wrong end of the stick with the diagrams

I'd go for NGK iridium or R's like these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-NGK-Spark-Plugs-for-Subaru-Impreza-Turbo-EJ20-1992-2000-BKR7EIX-IRIDIUM-2667-/230752649212?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Cars+Year%3A1999|Car+Make%3ASubaru|Model%3AImpreza&hash=item35b9edfffc

Echo that JPS Lotus F1 paint job, iconic - I think with the alloys being gold as well it could work

Thats a fair price - a recent MOT only cost me £50 - glad its all sorted

I think Pete has a set going for sale now as they are not the right type for his wheels he needs standard nuts for his rims

the amount of times I have arrived at the end of the road and had to pump frantically is numerous - you would think I would learn but I always forget

nice and shiney - dont forget to pump your brakes 1st time out ;)

As Pete said - you are spoilt for choice - browse you tube for vids of the sounds of the different brands and see which you prefer. ...and those rims look awesome!!

either look great - what you could do is start with the clean look and evolve to the rally rep as funds allow, that way you get both :)

I had a merc locking nut that had seized on (the old garage using air sockets on wheels malarky) I tried drilling, as it was hardened teh drills would not touch it + welding - couldn't get it out in the end we had to sacrifice the wheel. have you had the v5 yet - does it have the former registered keeper on it - the dealer will also have the details of where they got it from, before you spend any money push them to help you sort it. Also why not try a Subaru dealer - see if they have a set of keys - they may be able to get it off for you. Petes idea is a good one as well - that tends to be the approach a garage will use - impact driver and an Irwin socket

Done

I would contact the person you purchased the car off first

No problem - keep us updated, if you do decide to start unbolting stuff keep your camera handy as it helps us suggest things

you may need some penetrating oil / plus gas for the caliper bolts - you can get piston compressors for the calipers but if you are careful a lever will suffice. I always copper grease the surface of the anti squeal plates so the piston doesn't bind, a rubber mallet may be useful if the disc is a little tight, other than that ring spanners or sockets, possibly a philips head screwdriver, not sure if your discs have a retaining screw

Ok I have sent Steve a message - he will probably have some questions about what yoou are viewing it on etc in order to do some fault finding

ok Ill pass that on as needing investigation - because if you cant chances are others wont be able to either :)

They are in the first post of the thread...
