  1. Wotcha and welcome - if you have addressed the exhaust flow look at hi flow filters for the air on the way in then get it mapped to suit. from then its looking at increased fuel supply, FMIC, larger turbo, uprated internals, flowed heads, uprated clutch, brakes and chassis components (bushes ARBs etc) and cooling system. You could look at the handling side first and increase power to weight ratio by lowering the weight sorting brakes and suspension then with the same power you could be moving a lot quicker?
  2. ok so I just googled that one and it looks like it refers to the resonator feed into the filter box having holes cut in it - is that correct?
  3. feel free to introduce yourself - post photos etc
  4. Any chance you could stick up some pictures of the coil itself, the lead hidden away down the back, and the lead that it is plugged into the coil pack. It may be the person who fitted the incorrect coil pack managed to connect a cable to it - that may not necessarily make it the right pack or lead to connect it. x3 basic things to make an engine go (in a common petrol engine) - a spark, some fuel, some air. will the engine turn over on battery power alone when you turn the ignition key? does the fuel pump prime and fuel flow to the engine bay? have you got a free flow from air intake and out the exhaust - no debris or blockages?

    New Puppy

    Lovely example there Pete - after your recent modification I was expecting gold booties :D
  6. new one on me - what is a 'snorkus' ?
  7. I would say they are different, Ill wager you need the later one given you have a 2000 fozzy, which removes the need for a separate module.
  8. good point - it might also attract some unnecessary attention from Dibble thinking you have a brake light out when actually it is working fine but as a fog light
  9. Rollomite plus a few others have had great results from doing stuff themselves, why not try that route?
  10. when it comes to finishing the car - paint job or wrap - cheap and good don't tend to go hand in hand. these chaps are in Cradley might be worth a conversation http://www.marksautobodies.co.uk/
  11. Nice one Pete I forgot the pad slap one if you are worried about the turbo noise make a short video and post it or compare it to vids on you tube etc
  12. its a simple procedure save yourself some money... http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/2366-manually-reading-ecu-codes-classic-shape-only/
  13. it could be a number of things, top suspension mount worn, worn bush on the lower arms somewhere, possibly the differential settling with change of direction. wrt the disc - I would replace them as a pair unless the other one is nearly new but, what I would ask is why there has not been even disc wear on both sides - it could indicate seized piston in the caliper which has caused the brake pad to be constantly dragging on the disc??
  14. Its probably some woodland creature wondering what the hell happened, one minute foraging in a field next vacuumed up by some huge induction system :D
  15. I had a thought last night about you converting the spoiler brake light to a fog light - why didn't you put a lamp in the rear light cluster - are they that different in the US? Also something to check wrt the high level spoiler light now being a fog light, I know the reason they are there is by law on new cars - there was legislation passed saying new cars needed a brake light x amount of height from the floor, they reckon they found that people could see others in front braking through windscreens etc and it gave them more time to react - hence the new Jag XK's having a little boot spoiler which unfortunately causes the front end to go light at 120+ - something that would not be there by design but is there by law. What I dont know is how the deviation from a new standard by law will impact the MOT as a modification - wouldn't want you to get caught out
  16. How about these from our very own club shop? http://www.mufflebox.com/collections/subaru/styling
  17. The models post 97 (I think) combined the coil pack and the ignitor pack - so if you have an old coil pack on your car there will be no ignitor pack and the coils will not send a signal to the plugs As you have stated it looks like you have an earlier coil pack fitted but... can you find the lead that should plug into the new pack if you replace it with the correct part? old type http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-LEGACY-90-96-FORESTER-98-98-IGNITION-COIL-Blade-Plug-Terminal-MOVEMENT-/321328841715?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AForester&hash=item4ad0b103f3 combined pack http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Quinton-Hazell-Ignition-Coil-Subaru-FORESTER-2-0-1997-2002-/161179170872?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Cars+Year%3A2000|Model%3AForester&hash=item258706f838
  18. Look at a budget of 2k minimum if you can that should get you something which will be relatively trouble free
  19. This may help - not sure of the year though so it might not be yours - it looks like they may have changed the module after 97
  20. This is an hour away from you but a member works there - http://tdracing.co.uk/contact-us http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/2631-td-racing-thwaites-developments-warwick/
  21. Wotcha and welcome - I dont know of anywhere in your location - hopefully one of our more local members to you can suggest a place
  22. no problem chum, anything to help you sell them and release more funds for mods ;)
