Front Towing Eye
mine has a screw in loop in the lower spoiler on the drivers side - there are also two strap down loops underneath the car left and right side. If I were you given the cost etc hire a trailer and tow it back on that- you will probably know someone with a van or 4x4 that can tow it

Save 5p per litre on V-Power Nitro+ fuel at Shell
Onto third tank of this now and the ave consumption has gone from an indicated 18.8 - 19.3 to 20.4 - 21.0 so I am getting more mpg - this is purely urban running at the moment haven't had to complete a long journey yet

sorry i'm being lazy questions !
as long as it has been sat on a level surface checking when cold is fine. As you have a turbo I would go fully synthetic opie oils back up now - recommending 5w-30 fully synth http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-680-1-us-quart-0946-litre.aspx

Wotcha and welcome - as Gambit says - dependant on budget go for ebay or if fit is important go to a Subaru parts dealer but they are a little more expensive

WRX STi 330S vs. WRX STi Type UK
If the PPP hasn't been been added it isnt a Type UK as that is the difference between a standard WRX STI running circa 300BHP and the 330 of the Type UK. The cars wouldnt have automatically had the update - I am not aware of any issues wrt post 2010 cars although if I owned one I would do the same to get the extras anyway and peace of mind but also unless it is a 330 or a Cosworth they will not be running that much BHP. If you are looking at spirited driving as well as a remap you should seriously consider an uprated oil pump and sump baffle to keep the oil in the right place at the right pressure

WRX STi 330S vs. WRX STi Type UK
As above plus statement from Subaru http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/legal--motoring-advice/2010-10/subaru-issues-statement-on-impreza-and-forester-25-litre-engines/ I intend to get the mapping on mine done as a just in case plus all of the good stuff like launch control, flat foot shifting, down shift blip - fly by wire throttles are very exciting :P

1998 WRX JDM Clockspring
and then watch your mates try and start it on the button :lol: :lol: :lol: almost as funny as wiring it to the brake :D
-
1998 WRX JDM Clockspring
been looking at something else and discovered that Morgans still have a dash mounted horn switch so it must be ok
-
1998 WRX JDM Clockspring
as long as you have a button that can be operated from the drivers seat ie on steering wheel or end of stalk it will pass - I dont think dash mounted counts

sorry i'm being lazy questions !
ok so it looks like the Opie oils site is having some issues at the moment...

sorry i'm being lazy questions !
1, 5w-40 or 10w-30 check out the opie oils website - they give a discount for S.O.C. members http://www.opieoils.co.uk/product-finder/car/engine-oil/subaru/1997/forester/PETROL/product-finder-2.aspx 2, I use the main box section that runs under the car for my trolley jacking point 3, Ill pass on that one to someone who has owned that model B)

Hand signals?
hey it is what it is - I am sure in other areas there is a forrester massif slammin and pimpin their ride who happily acknowledge there Subaru brethren. I do get a lot of befuddled looks though - of 'do I know him, why is he flashing me are my lights on????' :D
-
Hand signals?
I give the headlight flash to other subaru's - impreza's tend to respond but only about 30% legacy's and no forresters so far have responded, but that is more to do with the demographic in them round by me, they appear to be owned by the older country types
