completely agree, discussion, engagement actively encouraged - the search engine on here using google is better than other older forum searches I have been on - doesnt do too bad a job with finding the text even if the title is unrelated
-
Sounds like your first how to mod thread - any chance of some pics please :D
-
Sounds like a plan ;)
-
If it helps fund a continued build and the price is fair - whats the problem??
-
you could also have a split tube somewhere which is allowing boost to escape triggering a fault situation
-
yeah erm about that.... we are not too sharp on that as you may have gathered, the only time I have done it is when something looks like it could be a really good discussion and its worth catching the answers in one place or we have had a duplicate run which has been consolidated - I only sussed out how to do it about 3 weeks ago :D I also realised I was one of the worst for making things go off at a tangent
-
Just looked at the ad - just what is an STI NOT Turbo?? you will need to do some phoning around for insurance - start with Gambits recommendation and go from there, going on compare the market etc isnt necessarily going to get you very far, need a specialist broker
-
The red bug wrx does look clean - reading the ad does seem like an older chap who shopped around before hand - you can get the alloys looking brand new for £250 (dependant on colour) up Tipton. Spoiler - do as Gambit says or get it blown over - either way not a huge cost. One point though you are not going to get a 50k FSH rust free classic or bug wrx for £1500 these cars get driven if they dont they get cherished have few miles on them and command upwards of 4k
-
If it is just rust and the threads are in good condition I would look at dressing them using a wire wheel and a drill or bench grinder then either paint them, plate them or leave them shiney
-
If it didnt have to happen before the weekend I'm not too far from you so we could sort something out if you covered some diesel so you could look a bit further afield - Chigwell is only a couple of hours away if you travel at the right time. Get the right car for yourself as if it is your first one you don't want a rubbish experience
-
the wagon does look a better condition car - less miles more detail in what has been done may be more of a confidence building buy, I would be interested to see what receipts are with it as it sounds like the type of person to keep them
-
A little TLC and it should be fine 130,000 miles listed - dependant on service history you may turn up some faults if there has been gaps in it, put some money aside for bushes if they havent been changed - Has the clutch ever been done and turbo refurbed - if not budget for that as well
-
Car looks nice however the details in the ad conflict - described as a 2.0l but with a turbo back exhaust??? I would want confirmation of exactly what I was going to view over priced I thought - I would be looking at offering £1200 - 1400 max once I had viewed it and seen all was ok but for £1400 I would expect it to be very tidy
-
I would do some research into if the OEM bolts are hardened in any way or material of a particular shear strength - If that is ok you should be fine
-
bargain particularly if ordering multiple heavy items -
definitely
-
was it this one??
-
ok ill try that now...
-
Wotcha and welcome - a member on here (Bazza) was selling his up until this morning which would have met your criteria. Unfortunately you may have to travel for the right car, many members on here have done and it tends to be worth it in the long run. Keep an eye on our Subarus for sale section but I dont know if anything will pop up before the weekend - fingers crossed
-
very funny I can see you attaching large bundles of bubble wrap :D
-
makes the end result even better then given the circumstances
-
does look good - subtle Scooby styling like it ;)
-
What did you search under Matt - just found quite a few under Mocom subaru???
-
Thats great to hear - start a new thread with your photos as a in the project section if you want - will your lad be twirling the spanners as well?
-
That has turned out well - pity you had to send it back but all sorted in the end :)
