Looks great not too low - Did you use WRX lowering springs in the end?

pictures often help with the sale also, do you have any you could post?

I would do it myself as I have jacks, stands, sockets etc - sorry I wouldn't know what a garage would charge

By the time you have paid for a bit more welding and the cost of an MOT at an alternate garage that will be close on £100. I would hold out / save for the subframe replacement. Example on evil bay at moment http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-impreza-WRX-STI-newage-bug-blob-howk-c-subframe/252332212172?_trksid=p2045573.c100034.m2102&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D35951%26meid%3Dc91fb77fc9a348289fc24b785dd2860a%26pid%3D100034%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D181995533674 A wire brush and some smoothrite before fitting should keep the rust away for a bit

send him a PM via his profile http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/profile/1399-savage-bulldogs/ Here is his build thread

just cleaned the spring crud off - and then the downpour started

Plug gap is important but as you have a flat spot not lumpy running I would have thought it was more a air / fuelling issue. Has the flat spot appeared recently?

depends on engine spec as costs will vary based on that, closed deck block, fully forged internals, stroker kit etc. As mentioned Savage has a great build thread for his classic - step by step could you rebuild your own unit?

ha ha yes they are - and having no turbo yet ill take anything I can get This should get me another 20

changed air filter for K&N item and applied stickers

the problem is the oil stays in the heads under extended track conditions / heavy cornering etc baffles reduce this to a degree but a smaller sump without a baffle will not. a baffle is one way - most cost effective or a dry sump is a more effective (and expensive) way of addressing oil starvation

How do they clean the engine heads and block - vapour blasting, soda blasting?

more Rotas for sale

boot spoiler on that legacy and you are good to go

I have read an article somewhere - cannot remember if it was magazine or online but they researched temps vs colour and there was not much in it black or silver. If I remember I will reference it The original white van allegedly came from the ford transit chaps leaning against a dark van and finding it considerably warmer than the white ones - cannot remember the specific temp difference but it was enough to create the white van man legend so whilst stationary yes you will have increased temp vs a white car but once moving the intercooler difference will be little. Misimoto are banging out some quality gear at the moment so as a brand I would but their stuff - I have the OAS marked as must have for our next hatch. Only other thing that may be of consequence is that I have read somewhere - again apologies as I cannot recall where, that the intake for the sharkeye is ineffective at higher speeds, so further investigation may be required there...??

ill bet haha

result

really surprised this hasnt gone

I wouldnt go down the turbo route as there is so much to change you would be better starting with one with a turbo already. From a power perspective short of a less restirictive exhaust and a high flow panel filter you wont see much improvement with a large spend of cash. Focus instead on handling and power to weight ratio, remove what you can from the car and upgrade suspension brakes and anti roll bars

sounds awesome - great progress there

Awesome - some sensible mods there

keep a camera handy - let us know how you get on

some nice roads up Mansfield way

Not used them myself
