I cant really tell to be honest - if you video using phone etc then upload it to a hosting platform like photobucket etc and then post the link we should be able to see it

Get in touch with these chaps - were active on the forum at one point but I think they just got too busy, they will see you right @stants had quite a bit to do with them if I remember correctly We know them as Sheffield Subaru Services but looks like they have changed their web address http://www.subaruservicingyorkshire.co.uk/

This is the lower spec unit - it does not have bluetooth capability. There are plenty of aftermarket units - used examples that have bluetooth. If you do go for a double din aftermarket unit you will probably need one of these https://www.importcarparts.co.uk/parts-info?id=12829&cat=0&sub=0&sec=0&var=0&dc=&gen=&searchKey=radio&searchPart= I did buy one of these but found whilst it fitted you could not use the dial and it did not look as good as the ICP part https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/connects2-ct23su04-subaru-impreza-car-stereo-double-din-fascia-panel-adaptor.html?search=subaru

Your motor is too new for my experience ;o) this link may get you a manual with pin outs it it but you will need a model number https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1259328/Clarion-Pf-2945a-A.html

a lot of car for the money - is it auto or manual?

sounds good - dont know enough about the hawk body to comment on the questions but wrt the z - if I was offered it I would have a 240 or 260 (could live without the exclusivity of the 2+2), never really liked the 280 but would also def have a 300zx 😊 (in black with a full strosek body kit)

Wotcha and welcome. I have the same model with slightly less miles but do not have any of the symptoms you describe. As a cheap option you could try an ECU reset - this helped the auto gear change on mine and also smoothed out the revs - I did this because I was running on super unleaded petrol and wanted to force the ecu to recognize that. There is a cooling mod mostly aimed at the turbo models due to teh increased pressure and heat but it is simple enough to make up a kit yourself. https://www.iagperformance.com/GDT-Cylinder-4-Chamber-Cooling-System-WRX-STI-p/gdt-1005.htm https://www.blingstrom.com/modmonday-sti/2019/3/17/getadomtune-cylinder-4-cooling-mod-showing-cylinder-4-that-you-still-care Alternate fittings

Wotcha and welcome - Some very interesting motors there, big fan of the Datsun, 240 being my personal fave. Feel free to get stuck in, post photos etc all friendly on here. Any plans for the hawk, mods etc?

Thanks for sharing useful to know 👍

Give these guys a phone call - normally really helpful

Wotcha and welcome - very nice 👍

I use PIAA wipers - does not hold the muck like Rain ex but still means water beads and runs off. Prep the windscreen with the wipes first then use with clean water for an initial silicon layer

Yeah you would like to think but on this occasion no - He is an aspiring Tom Cruise - Cocktail not Top Gun, he got back in at 04:00 in the morning from his shift and was back at work 12 hours later so he was well asleep, one of the challenges, he works strange shifts and I work away. He has spent some time with me twirling spanners so servicing etc he is now doing on his own but troubleshooting not so much 😊

This depends what it is plus what type of parts you use to maintain the motor. The RX does not have a turbo so one less element to go wrong, Had mine now about 5 years, have serviced regularly and only replaced brake pads plus tyres and had a weeping bush on the fwd rear diff support bracket (replaced with an WRX alloy item from breakers & saved nearly a Kg in weight) the original exhaust has been replaced by a cat back SS cobra item, other than that the motor has not missed a beat and as approaching 90K I would consider replacing the headgaskets as preventative maintenance as the OEM subaru items are not made from great material. I suppose only other thing to consider for aesthetics is a wheel refurb, or get a set of steels?

Think this chap has not really committed to the forum 😁

Depending on mileage since plugs changed (10k or so) good to check / change. Depends on the tool they use not all will throw up the fault codes also if you had better octane fuel in the tubes at the time it may not show an error?

Yes to the above

Not sure the standard radio did was a pretty basic radio and cd unit, I have one on a shelf somewhere from a previous upgrade, ill see if I can get it wired up to a battery I have lying around and test it, mind you I may even have a manual around to check first....

Wotcha and welcome - have the arches been rolled? If not this could be an option?

Have been a couple of times but too many things on this year - didn't even manage to make the charity run on Sunday as I was under my lads colt sorting brakes and wheels out 😞

careful its addictive..... but keep a camera handy and feel free to create a build thread 😁

TDR know their stuff 👍

Depends on what you would like out of your motor. I would suggest a a good bespoke map, I am also completing the cooling mod to protect No4 cylinder as well. If you plan on doing track days look at: baffle for the sump, oil cooler oil pickup rubber attachment Petrol surge / lift tank with fuel pressure regulator

Hi - I believe the hands free kit incl mic was a dealer option. No, music cannot be played its purely a phone connection

Not heard of this one before - hopefully someone may have experienced it also
