Wotcha and welcome - yes they do turn heads dont they and agree the hawkeye is a lovely looking car

By the sounds of it I don't think your current car will ever measure up to your last one, spend the minimum on it to make it tolerable on a day to day basis and take time hunting for the one which will put the smile back on your face.

Wotcha and welcome - keep us updated ;)

Sounds like you have a full big bore straight through system with very little in the way of silencing. Try the back box only first and see how you get on with it from then you can get a PPP backbox from these chaps http://www.subarupartsstore.co.uk/category/Performance_Parts/Prodrive_Performance_Packs,b.html

it depends on the system, some have a different diameter bore in which case you could get a joining sleeve made up, also you would need to check alignment of the system to back box - it is certainly not out of the question though. What make is the exhaust as there are stainless options out there which don't have a high volume - Prodrive for instance make a sports stainless backbox which is not too loud

Good luck with the sale - it looks like a well cared for example!

Some of the threads do take on a mind of their own - in a good way, but when it comes to a specific subject or question if there hasn't been a thread created about it previously its good to start another as it may be of help to someone else in the future. Also you can start a new thread and put a link to a previous thread if it is related to but not answering your question etc in the first post if you don't fancy posting in the original thread. As Gambit has said this forum has a relaxed approach and we are very much aiming to promote a friendly, inclusive place. If there are some issues with not being able to see threads in a particular section please drop us a PM or create a thread about it as the site sometimes has some teething issues

I can just about manage the okey-kokey :D

thats great to hear - any chance of a final photo showing exactly how you have it plumbed in?? the engineer in me now wants to know why it doesn't work at the other places and why it didn't work the first time it was connected at the blue point - will have a tinker when I get my own B)

ok so does it work fine in all 3 (green blue etc) positions or just one place when in i mode if so which one? my next question after is going to be where you took the supply from - did you put in a designated feed with its own fuse etc or have you taken a pick up from the loom behind dash?

daft suggestion... have you got the polarity correct on the sender wires as that may send the needle the wrong way?

Is it mechanical or an electrical guage with a sensor?

Hang in there chum - it will all be worth it in the end!! :)

Wotcha and welcome - nothing to add to above - looking forward to the pictures ;)

thats it- asbos waiting to happen ;)

Good luck with the sale!!

Nice looking motor that :)

Wotcha and welcome - keep shopping around for the best quote, they do vary quite a bit and as Gambit says if it has been chipped it would be good if it has some paperwork to prove it- if not you could ask the sales person how they can prove it is what they say it is

That wheel well has come up a treat!

Sounds like some sensible changes to the car, keep us posted ;)

Mate I think what goes on in your head is best left a well kept secret, particularly when there are ladies present

Wotcha and welcome - It would probably depend largely on your budget and what type of rally stages you plan on doing, gravel, sand, mud etc Reiger, Ohlins, Bilstein and Sachs all do great products though

Good luck buddy - dont forget your camera ;) as Gambit says measure lots and big deep breath... remember it is easier to cut a little more off after than put a bit back on so err on the side of less :D

As Gambit says - check and see if there is indeed a live feed when you turn them on from the dash switch - if that is the case then rig a temporary wire from the earth side of the bulb connection and find a different earth on the car. The in car switch could have worn contacts as well... but that will be confirmed if there is a voltage present when switched

Def sounds like an earthing issue (or lack of)
