    That is the only time I have seen it - WR1 models, does look good though

    Wotcha and welcome - yes you should have no issues with the white stuff in that 👍🙂

    Wotcha and welcome - looking good, not seen a hawk in that colour before 👍😋

    someones getting an awesome early xmas pressie 😋

    My 2008 with Prodrive kit and map showed 22 - 24 running around urban 24 for was more consistent when using sport mode more often - on a run was better, could get 35 - 40. On a weekend though it often read 18 - 20 🙄

    my 2.5 hatch would boost to 1.5 bar (S# mode) which is about 21 psi - is your gauge plumbed in correctly?
  7. Jay762
    Try running sport mode this should give you a couple more mpg - there is a thread on here somewhere (think it was Salsa or magik thighs??) the standard map has 0.5 bar sport runs 1bar and sport # has 1.5 bar boost - he found running in sport gave higher mpg - I found the same but had to remind myself to select sport mode all the time. The bespoke map I was going for would have had the standard map with increased boost to run similar to the sport mode saving me messing about. My RX only indicates 28mpg urban driving so not great - can get 35 - 40 on a run though which was also achievable in my STI

    even though engine capacity is the same?? If that is the case then loosing the middle resonator and the prodrive back box will give you the rumble you are looking for
  9. Jay762
    Think you offset may be 55 https://www.wheel-size.com/size/subaru/impreza/2006/ which would have your wheel stick out 21mm - that should fill out your arches nicely 👍
  10. Jay762
    That should be fine (assuming no lowering etc) - sticking out extra 18mm https://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator#

    It might be the unequal vs equal length manifold. around 2006 2007 Subaru went to an equal length manifold (the bug definitely has an unequal length fitted), not too sure but I wonder if this also coincided with going from 2.0l to 2.5l - it may be that giving the more distinctive rumble you are looking for??

    Lovely motor good luck with the sale - Do you have a guide price??
  13. Jay762
    Dependant on mileage, potholes you could be looking at bushes (not a huge issue) suspension struts and or front suspension bearings (top hats). Have a look under the sound proofing blanket on the bonnet (if there), mine held the condensation and being wet all the bolts holding the scoop on had rusted - dont want this starting on your bonnet. On the whole though mine was reliable, just replaced tyres and brake pads 😉
  14. Jay762
    Bargain for someone 👍
  15. Jay762
    Its a bit extreme but you could remove all the sound deadening material but that means taking your interior apart, seats, carpet out etc. That will make the cabin noisier - that authentic race rally feel?
  16. Jay762
    Yup unfortunately - the symptoms are obvious on failure but no definitive cause 🤔
  17. Jay762
    as above 296 - the prodrive package (and 330s models) were running 326/8 bhp
  18. Jay762
    couple of other things I have read contributing to ringland failure loading the engine too much - full throttle from low revs oil starvation through sustained high revs and / or cornering The factory tune on standard WRX STI's running circa 296BHP running lean took some blame - particularly on No.4 cylinder - the Prodrive and 330s tune (circa 326bhp) was supposed to have addressed this in the reflash however failures still occurred - one of our short-lived members on here was reporting symptoms on his Cosworth CS400. I dont have any issues but did have a bespoke map lined up to remove the risk of lean running

    Wotcha and welcome - Subaru unfortunately do not make a great diesel engine, there have been many reported issues, bearing failures etc. Dependent on your requirements go for a petrol Subaru or look at an alternate model diesel (but given the imminent persecution of oil burners I would reconsider)
  21. Jay762
    low mileage one here - complete engine though by looks of it https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2010-SUBARU-IMPREZA-STI-2-5-ENGINE-SOLD-WITH-INJECTORS-INLET-MANIFOLD-24-000/192722319672?hash=item2cdf253938:g:8IkAAOSw5wVb6pRC:rk:27:pf:0

    This is the link to the new block Savage is referring to. https://www.importcarparts.co.uk/parts-info?id=9596&cat=96&sub=183&sec=0&var=0&dc=&gen=&searchKey=&searchPart= The engine rebuilds are similar, irrespective of bore a used block will need decking, bore check hone then assembly. You could take a 2.0 out to a 2.3l using appropriate components and a bore there is a chap (Dave Millward) breaking a wrx on facebook but the engine has developed a knock (based in Oxford UK) - I can see if he has a price for this??
  23. Jay762
    here is one 2.0 - stroker kit?? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JDM-V9-EJ20-EJ207-2-0-IMPREZA-STI-Semi-Closed-Deck-Engine-Short-Block-Hawk-Eye/163348536960?hash=item260854de80:g:ZzUAAOSw7p1ar~v6:rk:9:pf:0
  24. Jay762
