It does, a map on a standard car can see improved midrange performance and slightly better mpg

Had a quick search through my JDM parts sites and nothing, discontinued or not available

Wotcha and welcome - Had an s13 myself, lots of fun and would have an s15 tomorrow - if I didnt have the scoob project underway. Feel free to share photos, get stuck in etc all friendly on here and plenty of information in build threads

Lovely motor - If I was working in UK at the moment I would be on my way to collect now - Good luck with the sale

Try chap named Jody Collins on facebook - he was breaking a hatch

PIAA windscreen wipers, first thing I replace when I get a new motor 👍

I would just refer to it as a remap, the term "stage" can get some unnecessary micky taking on some social media platforms particularly in relation to Honda owners. If it was me I would invest in the following before going to get a map. Service - Oil and filter change, include plugs if they have not been done in the last 8k, you want your motor in a known condition before going. Ideally a higher flow panel filter - cosworth etc A new fuel pump if it is over 10 years old look at a less restrictive exhaust system

What is even scarier is @savage bulldogs and I were chatting about Renaults Wed evening and that car came up I check your thread this morning and recognise the same motor - too spooky 🤔

I used this setup in conjunction an ebay camera with went in really easily with a buzzer under a rear quarter panel https://www.parkingsensors.co.uk/product/dfm400-flush-fit-parking-sensor-kit Think I found it cheaper on Amazon though?

Yes turns out I will need an s7 for my build so there will be an s6 available shortly as well as @savage bulldogs's Apexi

Had mintex pads and discs years ago never had an issue - your VX might be a little heavier though but ultimately it is down to how you drive. I would go heavier on the oil myself but check OPIE oils for another opinion

Wotcha and welcome - Interesting project. WRT the guess what it is.... Renault Alpine V6 turbo?

Try Sky as well

Wotcha and welcome - Love a hatch me 😍

Hi - Modern diesels are not good for short urban journeys so given your situation and requirements I think, unfortunately, you would be better selling it as to keep it and not use as designed you could end up incurring more cost to fix blocked DPF's etc which would take the shine off the sentiment very quickly

From what I have seen posted before your suggested approach is correct - cut a larger portion away at the panel to get access then repair, weld new panel in place once inner repair is completed - Trying to think who posted pictures of this approach??

There is a red classic for sale in Wolverhampton - very clean motor not standard by some margin, chap worked at Pole Position, not mine but I had a look over it when looking at a clutch. wants 6k though

Wotcha and welcome!!!

Headliner is easy to remove, get some trim removal tools and take your time, the x3 plugs in the rear are plug in plug type so dont just stick you tool in and lever - you need to pop the larger top bit first to unlock them. Dont know about the badge - Think I read somewhere it was stuck on but you will see when you remove the trim for wrapping

cars being broken on facebook or main dealer as dependent which bits you want they get broken

Representing in the F1 Lotus stylee Think that Perrin sticker will have to go.... Plus the force is strong with this one...

Dynamat in the boot to replace the lift Subaru plate Also did under the rear seat as could not only put half Dynamat and half Subaru stuff... Stripping it off - Yuk Lots of brake cleaner to prep After Progress - the boot is actually fully reassembled!! Axle nut 3 - Halfords Advance 0 Halfords replaced all the items no problem - Just to point out the extensions were not being used with the rattle gun, a bit of coaching from @savage bulldogs + some swearing and it was free. Now to see if the bearings will separate from the hubs so I can fit the longer studs. Parts for the fuel system and AOS have arrived - just need to confirm injector sizes, this will mean I can remove the Subaru damper setup completely and simplify plus ensure zero oil goes into the intake. Some initial planning about location completed but a little hard to gauge when your engine is missing

Sounds like you are starting to get to the route of the issue

Wotcha and welcome - Any mods planned, feel free to share photos start a build thread, all friendly on here

Wotcha and welcome - being based in Plymouth you have some decent Subaru expertise on your doorstep with Martin Jefferies, Im also sure @Mr B is located in that part of the world - a wealth of experience
