Hi Anna - not familiar with your area so unable to provide a local recommendation but if you could share details on what the garage keeps repairing we may be able to shed some light on the issues? What year and model is your motor as well? Engine size if you know

Check to see it the link itself has not broken first before going after the sensors - OEM on the impreza is plastic and I had one snap - replaced form ebay source with metal items about £40 ish if I remember correctly

Wotcha and welcome - If it has been sat unused for some time start checking around for oil leaks as they dry out through lack of use. I would do a full service back to front replacing all fluids - oil, diff, brake. Check your tyres have not gone hard, brake caliper pistons not siezed. I would also consider replacing the brake lines - even stainless steel braided lines have the tubes go off over time. Next would be going through the bushes seeing if any have perished Safety first

Wotcha and welcome - I have had a mixed experience with my local main stealer. The problem I think is that they have people that work there who are not enthusiasts so once you get outside of a fixed process you are limited - The first one being for an import is "computer says no". It appears the system they have can only deal with UK registrations, most recently I gave them a UK reg plate but it looked like the car had been imported from Cyprus - This threw up an error on the screen that the two chaps had not seen before - They will be phoning me when Subaru has got back to them I find myself doing research first and then having at least a direction for them helps a lot. I have only had experience of one current place though so others may have different stories

Wotcha and welcome - Keep us posted on your decision

Wotcha and welcome - Hopefully someone local to you can supply the answer 🙂

Finally got around to paint correction on the drivers side, removed a lot of swirls and scratches on door / wing

Fitted some gauges Oil pressure, oil temp I fitted some time back under the turbo cyl 1 in preparation Sensor wires ready to be routed through bulkhead Some shrouding and the access sorted In place and through to under the dash gauge pod, gauges and showing the link cable will not reach Creating a patch lead Heat solder joints Plenty of length now Extending the power supply in the same way I connected the power supply to the appropriate feeds used for the stereo and routed the sensor leads from under the dash up behind the console, then fitted the new surround from South Coast Flocking One of my side repeaters was cracked so replaced with some Alibaba led specials before During After will try and upload a video... From the front Close up

Wotcha and welcome - plenty of members with experience of both those models

Wotcha and welcome - maybe going for an older option where depreciation and reliability are not so much of an issue?

Wotcha and welcome - feel free to share photos, particularly picturesque in you part of the world I understand

Wotcha and welcome - plenty of experience with the classic models on here, feel free to get stuck in, all friendly

Wotcha and welcome!

Wotcha and welcome - sounds interesting, feel free to create a project thread and keep us posted 👍

I could not tell from that vid - it could be the AC pump, could be power steering? You could try unhooking each of the belts and see if the noise is still there?

Wotcha and welcome 🙂

Not sure about a centre console one but check out these guys who can do double and triple pods for the hatch https://www.southcoastflocking.com/blank-page

Wotcha and welcome - check this thread out, lots of information when buying a scoob. https://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/1619-help-check-guide-buying-1st-subaru/

A lot of work gone into that motor GLWTS

Wotcha and welcome - feel free to share pictures, get stuck in etc all friendly on here

Opt for an exhaust system with a resonator as well as a back box silencer, that will lower the noise and be less cost than a sports cat also no issue with the ECU map

Great to hear - many see advantages of mapping a standard car as the factory map is a compromise

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?

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/
