ideal candidate for a reshell as you say - GLWTS

Depends how you drive and where - did you rest the ave mpg indicator, what is that reading? What fuel did you put in? How many miles on clock? When was last service?

Is that the HEL solution? Been researching the oil cooler options for mine

No you should still get warm air from the heat unit behind dash which gets its heat from the engine

That is my philosophy 👍

Agree that looks like air in the system

Does sound like an air lock, when you replace the coolant jack the front of the car up to ensure it goes to the bulkhead - I pull the one of the hoses as well just to be sure but it is not always necessary

Wotcha and welcome - I remember the bottom view well - standing around in the snow outside with the rest of the Mal hotel staff and guests at 2 in the morning because Gazza, during one of his 'special' moments, hit the fire alarm - also having a couple of glasses of vino with Timberlake and his entourage when he stayed there - Happy days

ordered a vice for the fuel line fittings and a decent set of cutters

Wotcha and welcome - no problem posting here initially but to get increased visibility I would suggest starting a thread in the impreza section, also take photos as that can help with people supplying information

Wotcha and welcome - no info on the car myself though

It all depends on your driving style and requirements (high mileage etc) I personally have run Continental Sport contacts (onto Mk5 now) for the last few years as a good all rounder that is ok in the winter however am running pirelli p zeros as a summer tyre and will get some continental or michelin crossclimate+ for winter You also have the option of sportier tyres still for summer - Yokohama A048-R Toyo R888r etc

I had no issues with rears on my STI or the clutch cylinder link I had off them, I have some photos somewhere I think

Hel and Goodridge are both reputable brands - have used HEL recently as they have been slightly cheaper than the Goodridge option

Wotcha - Yoour motor is too new for me but maybe someone will be able to help?

It will feel a lot slower - check out the weight of the sccob with 160bhp compared to your Seat. ONly advantage is the handling AWD etc but even then teh Scoob may be a bit soft - my RX is very soft compared to WRX STI etc

Keep us posted 👍

Looking mean 👍

Yup - As there are a couple of options for your model give us a clue??

Is there a manual on here? www.manualslib.com

Understood - ill keep going through what I have

Wotcha and welcome - looking good. Prodrive exhaust would probably just be the back box. I put a Cobra cat back resonated exhaust for an WRX-S on my RX - great fitment and still comes up shiney after a couple of years. Consider an STI top mount intercooler before going all out FMIC. They can be picked up quite cheap as people change their STI and the mountings are obviously already there for the new frame

Yup, I dare say you could find a home for all of them through this site

If no breakers have managed an answer, main delaer is probably your next option or try these guys https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-TRIBECA-B9-2007-3-0-PETROL-AUTOMATIC-BREAKING-PARTS/254486414455?hash=item3b40928477:g:D~QAAOSw-EheJJLD

I would use this oil for your motor - interestingly I had never heard of this brand and was using Millers as a UK manufacturer, I now discover this brand located a couple of miles away from me.
