so in theory fitting an after market steering wheel which does not have an air bag will mean the car fails its MOT if the original has one and any car with a decat pipe fitted will be a fail also. I will enjoy checking the electronic speed limiter of 156mph I believe it is and speedo all operate correctly jeez Id better sort the towbar on my van - i disconnected the indicator buzzer with a view to fitting a dash light - just haven't got around to it yet - that will now be a fail

I subscribe to that train of thought, particularly with performance equipment I like to know that everything is put together right before I start pushing it on spirited jaunts out

and then you could get some money be reselling the redundant ecu

I didnt realise that was the case as have already changed mine for LED bright white sidelights - will check when MOT is and see if they go through, will keep you posted... will get one of those red LED's also as I like the matching clear rear lens - cheers

Wotcha and welcome

Sounds like you have something special there - 4 years to find, I hope it lives up to its expectations.

Thats true particularly with those fog horns you have fitted.

Piggy backing ecu's does give some more flexibility but it can lead to fluffyness lower down the rev range because the second ECU is trying to fool the first and you get a delay in the signal flow albeit micro / nano seconds but it impacts fuel delivery. Sometimes these things show up on the dyno but when driving you dont really notice it. Remapping the OEM ECU is more common place now - I dont know about the older ones but if the coding is the same there shouldn't be an issue, next thing would be if a base map is available to start with, if not they would be starting from scratch which would bump the cost up a bit but because the EJ20 and EJ25 configurations have been around for a while there should be plenty of info.

That was just the car scared you were going to hit someone so felt it needed to let people see you coming

I always wanted a crackerjack pencil

its a pity the films were not a patch on the cartoon

Wotcha and welcome, any friend of Scooby Pete's etc

As Gambit said it is what club, user name and date joined - then obviously if they need to validate they can check you profile on line and it will reflect that http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/user/526-markscooby1967/

Sorted

I purchased this kit so the fluid and clay bars are in one box http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_253057_langId_-1_categoryId_255233

I used one on mine - dead easy to use no scratches and it is amazing just how much comes off the car after you have washed it.

Wotcha and welcome Tom

Did you replace the bulb or paint it for the clear unit?

That is a good turn out - that blue classic with the white rims looks particularly tasty

One of my faves is 'the greatest secret agent in the world'

I've not seen one either

brilliant!!

Wotcha and welcome Pete, some great examples there I have got to get some fog light surrounds for mine - more for daylight running lights not fog though

What I have done by accident is put it in 3rd on a few occasions - still getting used to how close the selector gate is on the gear mechanism so I look like a bit of a plonker at junctions

hmmm thats me we have two sets of keys and a keypad but I haven't got the code - will need to get that sorted!
