So that point being made are we now going to widen the film challenges beyond Tropic Thunder?

What a shame - useful to know though - summer time only track

yup check the plate under the bonnet and it may shed more light on the matter, then we can chat about its fluids ;)

Wotcha and welcome - great looking motor bet it sounds awesome as well with that back box on it.

Lovely hip movement Pete :D

awwww - I definately have a touch of the green eyed monster my mullet attempt departed, not by choice, with the arrival of the nineties :D

No problem chum - dont be a stranger, the pull of a flat four is strong ;)

Wotcha and welcome - If it is a WRX there should be a letter after GC8 of either A-G which would identify year and spec can you post some photo's?

soapy water is the way to go so when you rev the engine if there is a hole that appears due to pressure expansion it blows little bubbles

The noise level with the exhaust will be down to the manufacturer, you can have a decat exhaust with a large silencer box and keep the levels low, conversely you can have hi flow sport cats fitted followed by a straight through pipe and it will be louder than your standard setup. from the diagrams it looks like the lamba is just after the first cat I cant help with rear plug access on your vehicle, but Im sure one of the others will be along with the knowledge

well fingers crossed - but keep an eye on the levels, oil and coolant as you have highlighted there may have been damage done by the overheating. what you possibly have now is the time to consider the options to give you peace of mind/assurance, engine swap, car swap (risk with the unknown again) or engine out and heads checked??

Sounds like a great project thread ;)

Wotcha and welcome - I would have said the battery as a first place to check but as you have verified this I would investigate the immobiliser itself, particulalrly as you can hear the relay in it and sometimes it doesnt de activate. some of the other members may be along in a bit with more detail

Great shot and both with the same hairstyle :D

Does connecting the red wire to earth sound the horn? if so that is your two connections one to the red wire and one to an earth- the single lead horn buttons have metal cases to earth / close the circuit

Wotcha and welcome Matt - interested parties, like yourself, always help drive things forward :)

That's very true - its a two way street - only as good as the contribution made by the members ;)

yup echo that check for leaks

Hey the only embarrassment should be from the armchair spectators - you're putting it out there, respect, although if you get duffed up by a punto - bearing in mind we have already seen a Samber can ghost them - you will have some explaining to do :P enjoy yourself ;)

nice vid

looking good - as said before an RFRB grill would set those off - you'll have to keep an eye out for a sensibly priced one

sorry - I dont, I know Subaru called them Lusteric Silver but some finishes were darker than others even from the factory. I struggled to find a paint code though and when I saw the chrome type finish offered you could see how the shade would vary due to the over spray process involved (it is black paint sprayed over with silver partially allowing the black to show through) - so hard to get it even - it works fine on narrow spokes but the wide spokes these have it would not have produced a great result - hence opting for the Anthracite Those rims do look awesome though!

its not the best example for sure

depends how much you like the car, you will not get a great px with the work that needs to be done. here is the discussion thread with Bouncer - it may be of use http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/2690-head-gasket-prices-for-wrx/

made by Enkei - great alloys not a great finish watch for surface corrosion on the inside and the lacquer lifting on the outside ;)
