That is a sump baffle plate, it stops the oil sloshing about improving the feed to the pickup, minimising the chance of oil starvation and also going up one side of the engine or the other under hard cornering

It was Wagonwheels - check out this wee beasty for some inspiration 328BHP and 378lbs of torque http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/1842-newbie-saying-hello-and-pics/ Has he been tweaking as I thought the s3 had about 280 - 300bhp with something like 280lbs of torque - so I think it wont be long before you could show him a clean set of mud flaps - or dirty in fact if you fancy a bit of rally crossing Farmerpug style http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rOa_i4z3rU#t=0

depending on what spec you are running you may surprise him - one of our members from Scotland (Wagonwheels I think) has a really serious sleeper Fozzy lots of BHP and torque plus you can get more clubs in the back of yours ;)

definately not something to rush - took me a day to do the same with a bike engine

:lol: it would be "stop taunting me!!" :lol:

The car is a peach - we had a member sell an immaculate example of one last year - kidneys and children were offered but unfortunately it was a cash only deal :D

I think the early 2.5l boxsters were only running about 200 bhp because I remember we were having a bit of a giggle about a mates tuned Nova GTE having more BHP at the time

just read more detail I didnt know cosworth did gaskets for porsche engines?

28 bids - will be interesting to see what it goes for - dont quite know where the porsche engine comes from unless its an early flat 6? pity the pictures are so small

for instance if you pull up the 2007 outback you can have the same part number for the glass but it looks like they didn't offer a privacy glass option for that year, again I dont know what specifically you have - tints or not, so cannot advise further

with the site you can pull up the outback model but for different years and see if the part number is a match

Wotcha and welcome - not great news sorry to hear that. this is a US site but could give some idea of shared body parts with older cars, not sure if this is the right piece of glass etc as I'm not familiar with the model but if it is it would be worth importing as its either $244 or $270 http://www.buysubarupartsnow.com/parts-catalog/subaru/outback/2009/2-5i/2-5l-h4-gas/body-hardware/glass

you should be able to see all the belts if you remove the front cover - I would have suggested Adam as a possibility for spares but he is dealing with excess water at the moment so is a little distracted

Almost there - not long now :)

The cleaning is a real problem - I went to view a car once that you could clearly see a tide mark all around the inside - the cleaners had made it shiney but there was still a mark :D

shaping up to be a great meet

more justification that laying a thin line concrete across the ground does not a solid floor make - they will probably end up digging them out and repairing them

its all makes great reading Ben, nice job ;)

nothing in my immediate vicinity, odd small branch down nothing serious

wrt vortex fins - I like a clean look on a car - the Subaru rear windscreen bridge spoiler is more my thing. wrt to your boot spoiler I agree with Gambit you could get away with it and a body kit but if you are going to go for it, why not go big :)

Wotcha and welcome - so to me it looks like you are crossing a couple of race styles... my 2p if you like the spoiler go for a full GT look but that will mean more expense on a body kit and def 18" alloys as Pete has suggested. not keen on the roof fins myself looks a bit too EVO for me - which is fine on an EVO. They are not major mods an easily reversed and after selling the parts on you could invest in the mods Pete suggested or just the alloys, keep it clean like this one http://www.flickr.com/photos/28956617@N05/4665558526 http://www.flickr.com/photos/28956617@N05/4665560084 http://www.flickr.com/photos/28956617@N05/4664933857
