That brilliant!! loads of happy miles ahead of you!! :)

no problems for me ;)

Looking good - obviously I like the black over silver look, slightly biased there - If you ever fancy taking your hobby on the road I have some pigeons that need addressing ;)

Wotcha and welcome - hopefully some of the Legacy / Forester members will be along to share their opinions

Wotcha and welcome

Wotcha and welcome - thanks for the feedback, we are fortunate in that, although a relatively new site, we have great members on here which is obviously what makes it.

Wotcha and welcome - I myself am a relative newcomer to Scoobies, they are addictive - although you cant pull wheelies :)

You get a discount on your insurance by being a member of this site - that may help with a cheaper quote http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/544-up-to-15-off-your-scooby-insurance/

Looking good - best of luck with the launch have you many pre production orders?

Thats very true, what you could start with is a good service including an engine flush get all the crud out then possibly look at saving weight then look at handling, stiffening up the chassis, that way the power to weight ratio is changed for the better you save fuel as it is a lighter vehicle and it will go and stop a lot better. look at changing the transmission and diff oil and put a friction reducing additive in there as well all to help the standard car run better.

That's a good approach but you need to be aware of what is going to be a realistic power increase for the money you spend ;)

I think you would be spending quite a bit to get an extra 100BHP out of the 2.0l engine. what I originally stated still stands - Scooby world lists exhausts that will fit for your model so speak to them for that, they may also be able to help you with an induction kit http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=24_56 The chaps at RA are closer to you and will be able to help with engine work - stroker kits to increase capacity, gaskets to change compression, injectors and fuel pumps plus setup advice - they work with Cobra exhaust so may be able to help in that department as well but I don't know how much of the ancillaries are transferable between Impreza and Legacy models http://www.ra-motorsport.co.uk/Product/Category/FW20101202092100 If you genuinely want another 100bhp go for a turbo model as it will have that as standard plus the suspension and brakes etc to cope

yup all you do is update the numbers on the v5, that way if you do come to sell it there can be no doubt over the legitimacy of the change. Have done it with bikes a number of times - no drama :) You have exchanged like for like so its not as if you are trying to dupe the insurance companies

Wotcha and welcome - not too familiar with that model myself - however I would want to know some more details - has the car had any modifications, plug in ECU etc or is it totally standard?

aaaahhh that explains it, well that is certainly more appropriate and with the suggested mods it will look the part as well

naaaaaaaaaah I think you have given a well deserved bit of tlc to something that needed a new lease of life ;)

From a tinkering / engineering perspective you will get some / the same satisfaction - from a driving perspective its more form than function compared to the impreza so what is your reasoning for the swap?

aaahh right I see - there you go learnt something today as well B) mind you I don't know how I managed to read satin and then type matt duh! (probably because I didn't know what the difference was.

That is great news - a nice bit of confidence when it is finally fitted for you

Another job ticked off the list - like the idea of matt black not convinced about the UJ - watched deathproof the other day again how about getting a graphic knocked up?

Of those 3 I have only experienced India and whilst what I saw was disorganised chaos it is all at 10 - 20 mph so no real drama there

ooooooo the anticipation :D

Wotcha and welcome - It depends what else you have done to your car. Compare blowing through a hose pipe against blowing through a straw bolting on a bigger turbo will not necessarily give any gains but will generate more heat and back pressure resistance. TD04 is the first part of the code for the turbo and is the same for certain Legacys and Forresters but the internals are different giving different power delivery characteristics. Not knowing any further details at this point I would suggest retaining the TD04 size and look at a unit which will spool up quicker using a billet bearing or with a different blade profile dependant on how you would like the power to be delivered. Here are some options for bigger units that cover your year but it is not as simple as bolting on an upgrade http://www.ra-motorsport.co.uk/Product/Category/NA20100917115521
