Not managed it with my RX Auto - as you say just speeds up - I do put it in the manual mode to keep it in the same gear though
-
Try Kidderminster MOT Mike knows his way around a Subaru but they can be busy so may not take it on Building 329, Unit 1a, Rushock Trading Estate, Rushock, Droitwich WR9 0NR

Steering rack off - to be replaced by one from a 16 plate STI Ratio going from 15.1 (top) to 13.1 (bottom) Just need to swap the arms over
-
lovely kit - wrong pcd for the STI and unfortunately I could not justify them for the RX 😐 Good luck with the sale
-
Wotcha and welcome - much as I am a fan of the subaru brand and product, they do not do a good diesel engine, they are subject to various failures. The 3.0 H6 engine is really reliable sounds great with an aftermarket exhaust or if you want something with possibility of tweaking go for the 2.0 twinscroll turbo If you want something that performs from the outset look for an Sti import

I have owned Kawasaki and Yamahas for years - could never work out why I repeatedly chewed the heads on the front brake reservoir cap screws 🙄

Here is a similar example to mine but different part number on box https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/08-14-SUBARU-WRX-STI-IPOD-30PIN-CABLE-INTERFACE-FACTORY-OPTION-CONNECTOR-09-10/253272529763?epid=1823967001&hash=item3af8381b63:g:XKIAAOSwQcJaFbR1

I have removed a module from my slightly later impreza that might fit dependant on the connections at the back s/n A040049040645 Dont know if you have a manual but it might reference this for classic ipod connection. If not it might be an audio rca l/r module that goes in your centre compartment
-
Sorry to hear but good lick with the sale and some photos tend to help more views
-
Great to hear - yes could be an airlock
-
Wotcha and welcome Depends on what iPod and head unit you have? Could you post some photos?
-
Yup Hondas use JIS and Vessel are the brand I have
-
The brakes on my RX give great feel (more than the STi which is quite wooden) and good stopping power.... however they cannot take any abuse and fade really quickly with spirited corner attack over a few miles. Have you checked to see if the pistons are all free? bigger calipers and vented discs are always going to be a step in the right direction though

Welcome back Having tinkered with NA bikes over the years having unequal length headers will cause performance issues as the NA engine cylinders need a specific length for pressure waves coming back (back pressure) to the cylinder. For a turbo engine it is not as important my 2p go for a cobra manifold back system, sports cat or decat or cheaper would be the cat back option?
-
No photos - didnt happen 😁 I think scoobs use JIS screws which look like philips but are slightly different, not quite as deep so sometimes, particularly on small screws they can be rounded off
-
would this work?? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Impreza-Blob-03-Jdm-Sti-Breaking-Dccd-6spd-ej207-bc-brembo-vf37-Perrin/254355558422?hash=item3b38c5d016:g:IUEAAOSwpBNdd5XC

Hi the answer is it might - it might not, looks like the cross over year was 2008 - VF50 or VF57. Can you see what model you have? examples https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Subaru-Impreza-WRX-Outback-2-0L-Diesel-Turbo-Charger-14411-AA720-08-2013/323906806504?epid=1516664488&hash=item4b6a59a2e8:g:QmkAAOSwWe5dco-q https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-LEGACY-BL-BP-2003-2008-2-0-DIESEL-110KW-150HP-ENGINE-TURBOCHARGER-TURBO/183465220794?epid=1516664488&hash=item2ab7611aba:g:FFcAAOSwlKlbs27T

Would this work? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Justy-G3x-Control-Module-Electric-Power-Steering/113771492825?epid=21030479052&hash=item1a7d4f35d9:g:qdIAAOSw3g5ch-T4

Spigots - noticed the wheels were rattling on the studs - further investigation revealed whilst there were spigots in place they are not for the Subaru hub Now sorted all fits properly with no movement - at £4.00 a small ivestment to ensure no vibration of wheels and additional strain on wheel nuts Orange are the incorrect ones that came on the car, the grey the correct fitting repalcements
-
That was a point of much debate believe me but after trying many locations around the driver area - as well as behind the first vent it was originally installed in, this was where it finally ended up. Part of the problem was whilst from the driver position it could be mounted and look fine but from the passenger side and through the windscreen it looked pants.
-
That is a well prepped motor - super clean 👍
-
If I was closer I would be there to help but it is a fair old round trip for me to get to you unfortunately
-
Piston slap is the noise you get before the forged pistons warm up and expand to fill the bores with a closer tolerance - it should go when the engine is up to temperature
