Wotcha and welcome - hopefully someone will see this and make the trade

Wotcha and welcome - as above

changed the front brake pads nothing fancy standard EBC fair to see how they perform, if not great will try some green stuff

absolute steal - I have already checked but they will not fit my motor - gutted

that was my thought but after a good look and pulling the caliper off there is a folded piece of metal on the base of the inner pad - this looks to be touching the disc - I believe this is the subaru low pad alert - am now investigating some replacements

I have found this useful http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator#

bemused a neighbour by removing wheels to wash them - have also got to find out what is making the metallic scraping when I turn left from the offside front wheel area, sound goes away when I brake so assuming something to do with the caliper??

looking awesome!

Thought there was a video posted ages ago about classic speaker changes - Nothing in the How to section?

Ended up renewing with Hastings today but they would not issue a policy with the wheel spacers on the vehicle - wider tyres and wheels are fine but spacers no - I did get the impression this was a bit of 'computer says no'. I did however speak with Adrian Flux and received very good customer service but whilst they would include the wheel spacers on the policy the additional drivers I needed pushed the policy up £150 over Hastings quote. So now I need to shop for some alloys that will sit 20mm wider than the standard Scooby items

Got a gen Subaru one on my impreza - on the last hatch we had the area gets caught really easily and now with dog that jumps in and out of boot it was a must have.

result!!

Removed mine on the hatch with no issue at all - did consider getting some gold sticky back stuff from the evil bay as a bling alternative but thought it was more noise than heat so didnt bother in end What I also found was it retained water and the bolts holding the scoop on had rusted because of it

Like your approach

MOT sorted today - no advisories

Wotcha and welcome - As above plus running without a MAF means the engine is hard to map at lower revs and off boost meaning it can run rich obviously impacting fuel economy. If you are looking for a daily driver don't rush to remove the MAF as you are not going to be on boost all the time. If you are looking at running a significant amount of pressure above standard you will need to change the MAP to one appropriate to the expected target boost pressure

Thanks for the update - particularly useful info confirming the use of fuel that doesn't contain bio diesel with the Subaru diesel lump

Nice one - good luck with the sale

Is it not covered in the manual? With that size you are looking at something that draws a fair bit of current. If it was me I would pull it then try starting the car

nightmare - doesn't rain but pours... It may not apply to your policy but check the amount of windscreen claims you can have before any NCD is impacted - know someone who got caught out with that before had x2 in 2 years came to renew and discovered the NCD had been lost. Been paranoid about it myself since.

Yes - that is what I ran my STI on and you could tell a difference, I think the chap who had it before us was running it on 95 ron, halfway through the first full tank of vPower and it showed, better throttle response as well as improved mpg

What are the size details PCD, offset etc chum?

no problem - keep us posted

This should fit your motor - got the ESL chip already fitted which would save some money, then all you need is the map https://www.gumtree.com/p/car-tuning-styling/subaru-v1-v2-z4-ecu-with-esl-installed/1166766727

hmmmm - wonder if it would fit on an 08 rx - will def need a new rear bumper though
