Absolutely Raging!!
metal conducts heat - watch you dont burn your fingers :D hold it in a vice then take it steady and use grips to gently apply pressure as the joint is heated. That is a result from the seller though

May be selling my Subaru Outback ?
It would probably be best if you put the pictures on something like photobucket and then posted the link that would display them within the thread

Absolutely Raging!!
jeez that looks like its had a wallop - hopefully the customer service of the supplier will be top notch

manual or auto?
auto great for around town and urban driving / commuting - effortless but if it is specific long journeys I would go for the manual. It also gives more control in situations where there is less traction, or you could go auto and fit a power winch ;)

Pro R 340r Pack
Agreed I think it will help any resale opportunities
-
Crawford BRZ Turbo
we put the motor in an saw what broke - R&D my style so the new motor is more receptive to tuning as standard than the EJ - hmmm should I start trawling breakers now...

Pro R 340r Pack
Agreed this shape saloon definitely needs the spoiler
-
alloy wheels and sizes
Pretty sure they will - as Gambit said don't think they have changed the offset or anything

my type ra in rare 559 red.
What a beast looks like a touring car - I bet you have to dig small children and old people out of those intakes on a regular basis!

Pro R 340r Pack
no probs - whatever you do decide if you could a couple of before and after vids that would be good, sad as it sounds - its something I would genuinely be interested in B)

Pro R 340r Pack
Hmmm I would still haggle, some business is better than no business and the fact the website has not been updated is sloppy, an opportunity to get all car boot sale on their **** ;) play the innocent - you saw the offer phoned up you then feign disappointment and talk about the prodrive pack that is cheaper, from somewhere else of course in fact we do have some discounts linked to the forum - check those out as well, it may throw up something http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/forum/37-subaru-owners-club-company-discounts/

Pro R 340r Pack
Yup the Litchfield one for 2k retains the fast cat, which obviously helps when it comes to MOT time, in the mid section. Its £1595 without, the Pro R ditches the cat also so the price is comparable but retaining warranty is a good thing in my book. I dont know how new the deal is but that is from the Subaru site not the Pro R one but it is something to have in your back pocket when you phone to book in as its even the same picture used on both sites

Pro R 340r Pack
Driving the Type UK which is a similar package but gives an approx 330BHP I would say its a good thing to invest in - it is certainly a very enjoyable drive. here is a reduced offer for the 340R pack save £170 http://subaru.co.uk/offers/sti/ Have you done any comparisons with other options as what you are buying is a pipe and a remap, other packages have an uprated fuel pump and performance filter in place. The one difference I can see is which is of interest but also for discussion as to if it is needed is the decat pipe - on mine I have a standard pipe with a prodrive stainless backbox, so that may be where some of the additional 10BHP comes from. Personally on my ever extending list of things to change on my motor will be a trip to Litchfield in Gloucs - I like the Milltec system sound - not too loud and you get a filter. http://www.litchfieldimports.co.uk/SUBARU/Subaru-Performance-Upgrades/subaru_08_upgrades The Prodrive kit, slightly cheaper but less BHP and retains the original pipe midsection http://www.subarupartsstore.co.uk/product/Impreza_WRX_STI_2.5_2008_-_onwards_Performance_Pack_SACC2811#

Good Article on Tailoring the SI-Drive, DCCD and VDC
Test complete - yes it does change it into a more responsive drive all round as you don't feel the car is fighting with itself. Also on mine the VDC stayed off when the ignition was cycled, I have just had to provide reassurance that there is indeed some tread left on the tyres and all the settings are restored :P

Good Article on Tailoring the SI-Drive, DCCD and VDC
going to try it - back in a bit.... :) also mine drops from S# to Sport when the ignition is cycled

Anyone have a turbo MAP Sensor?
Wotcha and welcome :)
-
Good Article on Tailoring the SI-Drive, DCCD and VDC
Really useful that - I have yet to mess with VDC still playing with the torque and SI dial - I do find the drive ability in Intelligent mode not to be a smooth as in sport mode particularly around urban areas which is contrary to what they say, I might need some investigating - possibly getting the injectors cleaned

Advice needed on selling my 1998 Imp Sport Estate
Wotcha and welcome - unfortunately it may be worth holding on until the market lifts a bit - but there is certainly no harm in asking the question, add some pics, as there is no post count requirement with this forum and see if a response is generated :)

Meet up and BBQ
Its in the diary chum ;)

sunday drive
could be a joint that kit you have on is quite sturdy - but failing that hopefully its just a weld - got a story about getting three points in Glasgow of the two, one dibble was in hysterics and the other (the driver) was seriously not amused - but ill save it for around the bbq fire

Noise coming from the rear!
Could also be the rear struts.
