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 )

Id have to match the rear arches to the front but it is a nice piece of work

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

sage words indeed - I concur as it is not just limited to your industry :lol:

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

Agree with Bman there - thing I like most about the vid - the tiny green start button - its the little things :P

Dog, hats off chum - unfortunately it is the difference between having the qualification / credentials and being able to apply them in the appropriate situation and someone who has done the course so therefore they must rigorously apply the framework / theory / approach to everything. Bosh - I went for many years thinking everyone had common sense as a natural commodity - I have since learnt they dont - I have met individuals who you couldn't trust with a sharp pencil, very nice salt of the earth do anything for you types but a crayon was safer for them and super intelligent think tank boffins that you couldnt wave at across a road as they would walk straight out into the road towards you still waving oblivious to the bus heading for them. PS isnt WD40 - water displacement experiment / trial number 40 and is made from duck oil? smells almost as nice as gun oil (yummy)... but not quite.....

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

genuine hefty chortle :lol: :lol:

guys these posts are hilarious I bet the chap (or chapess) diligently ensuring the plastic tubing was earthed had a full ensemble of PPE head to toe flourescent gear and the area cordened off :D

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
