yes taht little selection dial does put a smile on your face

Yup Cosworth are a reputable brand

That is a clean example - hopefully it will find a new home

What is the PCD 114 x5?

Set up a thread in the for sale section - include photos and a price

yup but you will have to keep it completely original - the rivet counters wont like it if it becomes non standard in anyway - oh and you need to win some WRC rallys in it as well

will keep you posted - ones on ebay all seem to be stick on options and not as good as the originals I have

collected the wheels and took the car off the axle stands - contacted Subaru about sourcing some centre cap replacements

As I understand it from teh research I did prior to buying teh hatch - the blocks were the same between WRX and STI - as you say internals differ on earlier models buuuuuut IM am not convinced the hatch internals do either - all the stuff I found prior to buying the hatch in WRX vs STI spec related to chassis and I/C not engine internals - but happy to be corrected on that, maybe if they did differ from the factory some of the reported failures may not have happened???

Hi - couple of Spec D's I looked at initially were both grey so not sure about the just silver colour scheme.

good luck with the sale - clean looking motor there

car on axle stands - took wheels in to be repaired and powdercoated

as above have it activated dependant on the temp of the oil not the temp of your water, your tranny oil may be working harder than your rad coolant

Wotcha and welcome - as above anything that unloads teh front grip while cornering can unsettle the car and have the back end come around but the x4 wheel alignment may shed some light - do you trail brake?

£50 a corner still seems relevent - looking to get mine done - the £50 option includes some kerb damage repair

much as this is a subaru forum we are quite open about the short comings of the brand and the fact, unfortunately, is that subaru are comparitively new to the diesel technology and still have a way to go to get to the same levels the petrol solution has achived. For the mileage you are wanting go for a petrol Subaru or an alternative diesel brand model with a longer development history

That I dont know - try the link that comes up?

tried some orange tiger grip gloves - must admit slightly more expensive than the blue of white ones I have tried in the past but am very impressed, stand up to more spanner twirling than the others. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321556993869?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Presented mine at Merry Hill Stourbridge they tried the barcode but no luck but then manually entered the 15% discount code no issue - but the best thing was the chap went off to get the manager (Jordan) who owns a a very tidy WRX-S hatch and was curious as to where the card came from

Just purchased x4 new Conti sport contact 5's - will have them delivered as I intend getting the wheels refurbed

Yup power and control etc - you don't want it handling like a duck on a frozen pond every time you hit the loud pedal

A real result there - some quality mods - it would appear TC will be a rainy day must have

hmmm - first I have heard - sorry you had to go through that - Ill ping @Steve and find out what has happened

not had that before- had a master cylinder fail years ago through vibration and over tightened nut (probably more the nut) but dont think this is your issue

condensation?
