Hi - looks like some form of power valve controller that changes the profile of the exhaust which removes flat spots inherent in NA engines?

nightmare - can you get something in just to pry it out and stop the rubbing until a repair can be made?

Great - keep us posted

I am a big subaru brand supporter, the AWD system and flat four / six configuration is great in petrol guise. I would suggest you do some more research on subaru diesel engine / gearbox failures - Unfortunately there is a lot to read

Steer clear of diesel subarus

There is a difference between the WRX STI and the WRX S / WRX / RX models (wide body vs narrow body). The model variant selected is WRX S which I understood you were looking at, not the STI

This is correct - check this site to see all subaru PCD info plus very useful for wheel offset detail https://www.wheel-size.com/size/subaru/

Wotcha and welcome, Not got a scoob diesel myself however on my diesel van issues with glow plugs were traced to the supporting relay, so the issue may not be the plugs themselves. Dependent on mileage it may be time to replace them anyway?? The jumper instead of a fuse is not great - indicates an earth somewhere which def needs investigating as an earth can turn your wires into smoke generators - this is not fun and makes a funny smell

here you go check out autodoc https://www.autodoc.co.uk/westfalia/1369651

Hi - pretty sure you can, looked into it for my NA, single exhaust outlet but still a large silencer behind the bumper - Think I have a link somewhere....

Wotcha and welcome, looks like some mods already in place. Feel free to start a build thread to share your work 👍

Wotcha and welcome - From what I remember when looking at a blob / hawk sti there were quite a few differences, particularly in the chassis area. I stand to be corrected but here goes: Turbo - bigger on the sti Intercooler ARB's are thicker Bearings are larger - as such pcd is different Some chassis parts are alloy - lower wishbones? possibly different brake calipers - not sure on that one Probably a few more things - possibly struts and springs

Wotcha and welcome - Havent a clue on the badge but hopefully someone will be along to help 😁

I do like the the midnight purple GTR's so why not go for it 😁

Wotcha and welcome - Can you check for any engine codes? It sounds like its running really rich, I would check the MAF sensor

Wotcha and welcome - I have not used BONOSS spacers only H&R, however as long as they are a correct fit on the hub and used with a correct size spigot ring for the wheel I would consider them as an option

It does look a quality job and as back to metal before repaint it should not come back now 👍

A couple of hatches being broken on FB at the moment but also try Pole Position in Wolverhampton they may have one

Just watched a vid on this tool - safe to say I will be investing, looks a lot better than the previous approach I was using of SDS hammer drills, lump hammer & bolster 👍

Try making your images slightly smaller - I had this error last week when I tried uploading, that fixed it for me

Wotcha and welcome - plenty of owner experience of different models on here, what were you thinking of?

Hmmm think that clashes with a holiday we have booked - will have to check 🤔

2.0 NA is a heavy car for the power of the engine so if you want to tow anything dont look at the 2.0. As both are NA reliability should not be an issue as long as serviced regularly. My 2.0NA has not missed a beat. I did over spec on the belt though so no chance of it failing.

Received this from Gaz @cusco scooby wagon Watson - very pleased - looks a lot better than when it left me 😁

As above - sum of all parts, not necessarily just the turbo. I can sell you an SC46 which will give 500+ hp but may not achieve it on your setup
