Hi guys
Wotcha and welcome - sounds like you have the makings of a project there, start a thread in that section and keep a camera handy Have you thought of doing a reshell - that way roll cage and all metal prep can be done in parallel to you driving the motor then you could just switch everything across?

Matts Build 6......
The bay will probably clean up alright, bit of paint on the belt cover and autosolv on the header tank, mind you its a slippery slope then as more and more little things will stand out

ECU Question
It will fit but no guarantees of it working - if you have an existing ECU that is known good to you and works fine for the money you are spending, cost of second hand ECU with ECUtek onboard plus map to your car Vs cost of license and map for your car, why take the risk of the unknown for a relatively small amount of money. IMO it would be better to spend the money getting your existing ECU mapped to your motor, working with known components - Against the possibility, however remote, of trashing your engine by connecting an unknown ECU with an unknown map - but I have made some expensive mistakes in the past so am more risk averse.

Show us your engine bays
Had this from Steve, may help? Using the normal camera function (ie: rear camera) make sure the bottom of the iPhone/buttons on the iPad are on the RIGHT side. If using the front camera (selfie photos), make sure the bottom of the iPhone/buttons on the iPad are on the LEFT side. This is because iPhone/Ipad camera software doesn't put the image orientation info into the photo (mistake/oversight on MS part) meaning the forum software can't tell which way up the photo is meant to be.Taking photos using our method above ensures the photos are displayed the correct way round.

Hello
Wotcha and welcome - some buying tips here - the impreza and forester share a lot of items so is useful, some fozzies have a self levelling rear suspension that can fail leading to a saggy back end - not the end of the world as Pedders do a reasonably priced alternative to Subaru OEM items.

Number plate on bonnet?
Did any of them get pulled or was it more the discussion around what might happen?

Think this has something to do with the orientation of your phone when you take the photo and or Native American servers that needed a compilation - Steve (the admin) has done something that will have hopefully addressed this now... ...Yes was able to rotate the picture

err sorry that would be me, it had all the cleaning tips so thought it would be useful etc - I did try to put it into your thread but unfortunately it went the opposite way

You wont benefit from a map and CAI on its own, fitting a sport cat or decatting exhaust would then give improvements

Number plate on bonnet?
Just been through the DVLA site reading all their number plate info - it mentions colour, letter spacing reflective material and mounting front and rear but not found anything to say sticking it on bonnet is illegal. They do bang on about a BS plate so if the material used to stick on was not of the same level to get BS compliance (or not having BS standard a manufacturer and a postcode on bottom right corner) they may have something to say. Couldn't find anywhere stating vertical mount, the original document with this reference has now been replaced by another leaflet. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/533255/inf104-vehicle-registration-numbers-and-number-plates.pdf I have been on MOT sites and these state sizing colour and ability to clearly read plate eg no discolouration, cracks etc The only thing I have found is back in the original 2001 guff which states must be mounted on the front vertically or as close to vertical where practicably possible but ensure that all letters numbers can be read. (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2001/561/pdfs/uksi_20010561_en.pdf para 6) I can see why they would not be pulled up if you had a reflective white sticker with appropriately spaced BS fonted digits etc, I think one site mentioned a fixed penalty of £35 (more for number plates with dodgy fonts made to look like words etc). Way I would look at it is if you were pulled for something dodgy it is something else they could throw at you, but if this was the sole reason I would question the officers right to be drawing oxygen at that point

Number plate on bonnet?
done a bit of reading and it is as Stants says but the enforcement seems to be varied as they need to be mounted vertically

Brake Pad Choice - Help
Were your discs drilled, grooved or drilled and grooved as apparently having drilled only discs causes the hills and uneven wear?

Coilovers
Someone on the forum recently purchased this brand, cannot remember who or what type but something to consider? http://www.yellow-speed.com/dynamic-pro-sport.php

Number plate on bonnet?
I prefer the on bonnet location - ever since the E Type jag carried it really, smooths the front end instead of the crappy bit of plastic you have to mount. The only reason they are on the front now is speed traps as bikes havent had / needed them for years
