Wotcha and welcome - as you have seen we have a great set of members, feel free to get stuck in :)

I had that with my halfords one - paid £30 and it came to pieces - did me for a bit but thats when I went a bit more heavy duty with the MM item, I have had it for a few years now and the model number is the same but they may well have changed suppliers since I purchased mine

:lol:

just re read it - my post was based on an impreza conversation...

Another great link - but wow how many special editions!!! :o You could become a real spotter with all these going on globally

I know it was originally a forum perk when getting going to attract new members - As we have now got a really good following of solid regulars maybe it is time to change it - I think the post count as a minimum would be good

download the tapatalk app and access the forum via that to post pictures upload them to a hosting site such as photobucket and then post the 'IMG' links in the thread

It would be exactly what I am looking for however Im not quite in the position to make an offer - If things change in the next few weeks I would be arranging a viewing - rest assured, but at this point I am unfortunately still to be classed as a dreamer / time waster

Great link really useful that :)

From a conversation when Fozzy was selling his coilovers (cant find the thread now) he said teh units from his blobeye would not fit a classic. What I do know though is if you have the engineering capability you could modify the mounts to take the later units - ideal if you wanted to fit later hubs and bearings etc

its an ego thing - my response post was too far down the page, couldnt have that

Forgot to mention I have a block paved driveway and have lifted my van and cars with no damage to the blocks

Had one of these for years well worth the outlay https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/clarke-2-tonne-trolley-jack-ctj2001g If I was buying now I would go for this but I dont think you need the low profile with your motor https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/clarke-ctj2qlp-2-tonne-quick-lift-low-profile?da=1&TC=SRC-trolley%20jack

As Ash said plus good luck with the sale

Wotcha and welcome - it is unlikely the map has corrupted of its own accord the ECU's tend to be quite robust. As the car has run fine for a number of years with the map it is probably something else Are there any engine codes that have been generated as this could point to an issue??.. If the car was mapped with the current filter in place I would keep it as is - possibly clean or replace the old filter if needed. When were the plugs last changed? It might also be a coil pack breaking down Check the MAF sensor is working correctly also - disconnect whilst the car is idling - what is the result??

really looking the part there Matt - top job, would be interesting to see how some dished alloys would look instead of the flat spokes, give the impression of depth, possibly a photoshop job for someone with the skills

could be the cover mounts need tightening?? but that may not cure it if they have gone a bit hard, even if replaced during the engine rebuild 6 years doing nothing could affect it

if the rest of the car - engine sound / perfomance etc are ok its probably age related - an investment in some gasket sealant and new rubber would sort it for the next few years

just gone through the ad IMO that is a great car for the money - hope it goes to someone who will continue to appreciate it

Mate dont you know it - watching so many choice machines coming through this part of the forum has been a test I can tell you but hopefully things may be taking a turn in the near future and I can get something sorted ;)

The helicoil thread you replace it with will be stonger than the alloy originally stripped, just take you time and ensure everything is drilled and tapped square otherwise you will be putting uneven pressue on the repaired mount

Great find Ash - works better as a link as you can manipulate the columns making it easier to sort.

thats better - tidy looking motor :)

wotcha and welcome - if you do go this route any chance of a before and after video ;)

wotcha and welcome - as with most Japanese cars a well maintained scooby can run for many years with no trouble, there are some issues with recent legacy diesels, allegedly due to misaligned gearboxes on assembly. There have also been some engine failures with the 2008 - 2010 2.5l sti engines (ringland failure) caused by sustained high rev running on the standard maps. Motors that have been remapped to 330bhp had the different parameters added to stop the lean running at high revs. Petes mate also had a failure due to low oil levels pros - great handling and fun to drive with addictive turbo rush - cons frequent visits to garage and tyre supplier :) we have a buying guide here http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/1619-help-check-guide-buying-1st-subaru/
