Wotcha and welcome - that is a clean look motor you have there, as Gambit said decent fuel will make it run lovely and when you service the air filter dont have one with oil, an oil free hi flow panel filter will keep the airflow sensor fine. but I must warn you with Subarus modifying can be addictive its a slippery slope but one hell of a slide, have a browse of the forum as we are fortunate to have members with some choice machinery and lots of different modifications

That does look it is your pride and joy - very nice indeed

great to hear you have got some cash on your hip now

agree there - great ad but inspired by chemicals ;)

just the job - nice find Pete!!

running in - an exercise in patience if ever I have seen one :)

thats why I was interested - it looks like a great job and obviously cost effective ;)

Good luck hopefully someone can come through with something

Wotcha and welcome - there are a few of us other side of 40 - I cant really see it as being a midlife crisis if you have always been into cars more a case of what JNG said re prioritisation ;)

Wotcha and welcome - stacks of legacy knowledge on here, create a new thread in the best part of the forum you think it relates to and you should get a response

Wotcha and welcome chum - they are very different cars you are thinking of but having driven both your current Audi and a 2008 Prodrive hatch I can honestly say you will be blown away by the Subaru in comparison. so the only thing I can say, as I appreciate the BMW has it RWD attractions, is take a test drive in both and see what floats your boat, tail out naughtiness or all round performance with potential of properly sideways action (not that I am am biased in any way )

Wotcha and welcome - yup we have a few bikers on here as well - I myself have an old 89 exup and a kwak 250f for some mx fun :)

I think the legacy would be better for bigger mileage they can come trimmed with a higher spec interior, nicer place to be over distance, def worth testing back to back with a wagon

Wotcha and welcome- echo what Gambit has said - in answer to your question nothing wrong with Turbo 2000's check out what Matt is doing to his, a real beast on sensible money http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/5124-uk-v5-wagon/ http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/6316-sti-wagon-spoiler/

looking good - cant tell you what the bracket is for though

Rotas get my vote but all three look great so you wont make a mistake with any of them

one point when you do replace the clutch skim the flywheel to ensure it is completely flat as that will increase wear on the plates

Welocme back - sounds fair - check the underside as being an import it may not have been undersealed, Matt will hopefully be along with some sage like advice ;)

does sound like a DIY job - which isn't the end of the world as you have said as it still a nice motor

good luck with the sale - they obviously need a refurb but they may be just what someone is looking for

Wotcha and welcome Steve!! :)

Magnex manufactured a great product dont think they make ones for Subarus anymore - not listed on the website http://www.magnexexhausts.com/ Scorpion as an option as well - Imola or Suzuka tail pipe styles (both single round one larger than other) http://www.venommotorsport.com/manufacturer_product.php?manufacturer=Scorpion&category=exhaust&product=ExhaustSystems&make=Subaru&model=Impreza

Wotcha and welcome - 1st place to try is the MAF sensor, disconnect it and see if the car still runs, second easy one check your earth points are good and not corroded

liking what you have as inspiration - will look very menacing - RS200 a beast indeed and looks in great condition It might be worth posting in the wanted section for the exhaust - it will get greater visibility

The prodrive upgrade may well have included the uprated fuel pump already but if it is not supplying the correct pressure it may need changing - this you will find out when having it mapped. I wasnt suggesting an injector upgrade more a clean to ensure they are performing as they should. Miltek again great product but you pay for it. Nothing wrong with the Ninja if that is your preferred taste. Dependant on what model Afterburner you buy it will be cat back or not - obviously if you buy a back box only it wont be from the cat back but if you buy the cat back package it will be
