Wotcha and welcome - nothing worng with the mod, the collins performance option looks like the forge model. Replace the recirc valve with the dump valve and see if it works - it will run rich as the valve operates but only momentarily - post some pics and let us know how you get on ;)

Are the fitments not the same just different damping rates?

nightmare - last thing you need when running low on petrol

Wotcha and welcome - we have a few members from that area so hopefully they will be along to advise. feel free to get involved post pictures etc

Wotcha and welcome - are you running standard wheels / tyres and equal sizes all around as it sounds like you could have some torque twisting going on??

Wotcha and welcome to the forum - sounds like the Outback or Legacy would be ideal for your needs, Legacy probably better if you do spend more time on tarmac, given you do your own servicing I don't believe you will have an issue and they can be done on the drive if you are willing to get the jacks out. Hopefully some of the Legacy and Outback owners will be along in a bit with some specifics - either way keep us posted on your final choice

yup sounds like the motor spindle didnt fully engage / pull all the way out

Wotcha and welcome!!

Wotcha and welcome!!

that is a very good price for the mileage

It is a lovely example - must admit I don't recognise it from the forum but obviously feel free to browse the gallery and see if someone has posted pics??

lifetime (or ownership of car) guarantee on stainless steel - cant be bad

bargain for someone

Give Ian a ring - his profile says Dorset so just down the road from you

its looking awesome - very understated and really clean - not a single dog hair in sight :)

This my classic wish list site http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/

running rich isnt too bad - picture a bunsen burner with the valve closed, big yellow flame (and possibly some out of the exhaust) versus running lean which is your blue flame that melts pistons

Wotcha and welcome!!

I stand corrected, currently investigating directional airflow sensors to understand just how much of this leakage occurs... There is always the option of mapping the car to run without a MAF but first before any more mods are completed I would be keen to understand and resolve the issue of the boost loss Will you be changing your turbo to the journal type mentioned by Savage if you fit the blank?

let us know how you get on

bosch leads are fine for your motor, you may have a defective coil pack depends on the codes generated, transmission fluid is worth doing, again, dependant on last time it was changed, I believe the fuel filter is attached to the pump on your model so hold off until you change the pump, as you have been quite extensive, whilst you are looking you could do the rear diff fluid

Wotcha and welcome!!

Wotcha and welcome - an interesting find and clearly mint but as TLag suggested a classic car forum may be more helpful with collectors as members

also whilst you are checking rule out CV joints by slow driving on full lock fwds and reverse, a cyclic clunking is CV joint gone

Wotcha and welcome- dont know how many are in that colour but I do like it - a lot :)
