Wotcha and welcome - what year is your motor? What size are your ARB's and did you consider changing those before upgrading the bushes - did you get a noticeable difference / much harsher ride with the bushes?

Definitely a keeper - worth the investment 👍

Looking awesome!

Using a cobra cat back myself on the RX good quality piece of kit, has a single resonator but that makes it slightly louder than standard without being obtrusive so getting a non resonated item will obviously increase volume further but for me it was quality of material and ease of fitment that stood out

Wotcha and welcome!!

What a beast - GLWTS!

Looking good - watch for rubbing of pipework on the oil filler cap

Wotcha and welcome - Love a hatch me 😍 Look for the usual - service history, belt changed around 40k, emulsification of oil in the coolant lids - radiator and reservoir, blue smoke on start up, even wear on tyres. Feel under rear wheel arches (there is a lip) for rust bubbles. check wheels for any grease, a split cv joint sprays a thin layer all the way around. Paint on the interior is thin check door cards handles and centre console for chips - not expensive to rectify but give and indication of treatment. A clunk from front suspension when driving slowly forwards / backwards then applying brake could be tophats keep us posted

Wotcha and welcome - Is it a 'Core2' system, I assume it is but 2019 2020 version is available https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DVD-Subaru-Core2-navigation-update-disc-2019-2020-Europe-Map/173983420879?hash=item28823851cf:g:~M4AAOSwtcRb8Tss

GLWTS!

Having gone through similar and had to part with cars / bikes before I completely empathise - hopefully you will be stable again sooner rather than later and as Savage mentioned 9k asking for your motor is well worth it

Looks good

With the mods you have made the map will be way out - @savage bulldogs uses a mapper a lot closer to you Colin Attowe in Norwich, I believe.... Here is some footage 😍 https://youtu.be/Lq1nLEtetok

What colour is the smoke - blue would indicate oil from valve stem seals, black is more likely running rich - whiteish is coolant being burnt. It may be my ignorance but I cannot see how changing the oil filter will affect exhaust smoke?

nice one - have found my RX has 15mm rear ARB / sway bar, that cannot be good for stability

Wotcha and welcome - You have probably seen all friendly on here so feel free to get stuck in, share photos etc 😊

got you, I will watch the video

Do you have a link to the diagram?

Thanks - I have seen various discussions online about how he has tried different diameter tubes / fittings, my concern is taking too much coolant away from where it is being routed to after the head on cylinder 4

I will be doing this also 👍 Just contemplating do I plumb into the supply, or return line, of the heater matrix which are the options I have

Fixed a worn heat shield that was rattling against the exhaust and replaced rear diff front mount (weeping bearing) on the RX with the alloy version from the STI, a 0.75Kg weight saving Before OEM mild steel item with leaking bush Slight difference in shape due to the larger diff on the STI but mountings all line up STI alloy item in place with small gap in the cut out but as it is bolted to the unit itself I have no concerns

Wotcha and welcome - You are in the right part of the world for that motor 👍

Reach out to breakers and they may eventually turn something up - other than that I would buy the kit and sell the filter you have if you want it sooner rather than later?

Great to hear - keep us posted of feedback as the weather turns
