Wotcha and welcome. Dump valve - easily reverted to a recirc from a vent to atmosphere, yes they can make the car run rich as the air that has passed the maf means the ECU is pumping in fuel expecting it to all be there but it has just been vented where as the fuel is still being pumped in. MPG can also be dependent on your driving style. A bespoke map even with a standard setup can get extra midrange which helps overall mpg although I must admit I would expect more like 28 - 30 for your motor Fuel filter - no idea for your model but they do have an intank one green stuff on manifold - this could be the stuff subaru sprays all over the bay bay as a corrosion resistor but check your hoses and cap for any coolant leakage. Rusty brake booster - Subaru metal protection is not great, I am powder coating a lot of my painted stuff but also use ACF50

Wotcha and welcome 👍

You could see if there is a station near you and they will give exactly what you want https://www.powerflowexhausts.co.uk/ Straight through pipe option here http://scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=24_56&osCsid=eouuc930c7eidijfomoee3ucm4

Spotted today, very clean blue bug STI by KFC Kingswinford - Reg - S20.... 😁

Investigate the 4th cylinder cooling mod and also another mapper of repute is Thwaites (TDR) in Warwick

Wotcha and welcome - great looking bug and yes its an addictive slippery slope once you start tweaking however the trade off is huge smiles

Discovered the geniuses that assembled the coilovers had set the car up for driving clockwise in a circle - instead of the springs being paired left to right they were paired front to back with 90NM on front and rear left and 70NM on right front and rear 🤡🤡🤡

Wotcha and welcome 👍

I have some in white I can send you gratis - DM me if your would like a couple

The N/A narrowbody Impreza can be made to look like a WRX by changing front bumper, bonnet and spoiler. The STI front wing and bumper will fit to make the front wider but the rear bumper will not fit as it will over hang the rear quarters which are part of hatch the body. There are other body kits out there to widen narrowbodies as an aftermarket option

Given your location I would suggest Engine Tuner - Alan Jefferys in Plymouth

Welcome - Do you have a price in mind?

Wotcha and welcome - breakers may be an option or phoning a local subaru dealer - ICP may have something but check the website as they cover quite a few vehicles

Wotcha and welcome - all friendly on here, def not like some of the other forums out there. Feel free to get stuck in post photos ask questions etc, you want to start a thread on what wheel cleaner you prefer - go right on 👍

Wotcha and welcome!!

STI's (Wide Bodies) have differences to the WRX. For your model look to WRX (Narrow body) and they should fit possibly with minor tweaks. I have successfully fitted WRX and STI items to my RX in some instances with no issue some need minor adjustments - eg WRX S exhaust required a different ring seal upfront due to the diameter of the RX manifold being smaller than the WRXS

I added these two wiring convertors and retained steering wheel function CTSSU001 (I see the description now is for forrester only so check with DS) & CT20SU02 https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/subaru-steering-wheel-interface-adaptors.html

Had some many years ago - quality was fine but have only bought OZ in last few years so dont know if quality has dropped

As Savage describes you dont need to pull the engine but will need to drop the gearbox, easy then to get full access to the bolts etc. Give Luke at ICP a call and he will put you right with a clutch and associated alignment tool - factor in a few quid for a release bearing as well £20 I think off top of head

It might be the camera however they tend to be a simple generic setup of 12v feed for power to the camera, a -ve ground wire and a video signal lead. I would ask your 3rd party installer why they think it will not be able to have the lines any more?

A tough one - had a quick scout around the usual couple of sources but nothing, none breaking your model at the moment. Are there any breakers local to yourself?

Given the mileage I would suggest a fuel pump change at the same time as the filter, looks like your pump is located behind a panel under your back seat - similar to impreza, shouldnt be too hard to get to and change

Welcome - It tends to be a setting on/off - Have a look through your menus

Nicely sorted by the look of it

Wotcha and welcome - I am aspiring to a build similar to that, very nice
