Oh yeah, forgot about Alyn- incredibly helpful guy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My bottom end gave out after overheating. I'd recommend doing it. It'll be a fairly "simple" case of popping some new bearings in- at least nothing will be scored or damaged. It's a good chance to refresh everything again, I just got all the seals and gaskets for my heads for about £200, so you'd probably be able to get everything you need for under £500- obviously it'll be more if you're not doing the work yourself.

Well, progress has been slow over the past month with, basically, a lack of money. However, I've just ordered all the new gaskets and seals etc to get my engine together! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sadly I can't help with the removal, but just thought it might be worth mentioning that it's worth checking the wiring going to the door in the rubber thing going between the door and body of the car. Had this problem in my girlfriend's car. 7 years of having the door shut on the wires is bound to have some effect.

Those are for the coil packs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hopefully that'll solve it. If not, I'd look at replacing your radiator cap. Hope it solves it, you really don't want an engine overheating, trust me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They're a pain to bleed the air out of! Try parking it with the front of the car facing uphill and leave the radiator cap off over night. Top it up if it needs it in the morning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have you changed the coolant recently? Just wondering if you've got some air stuck in the system... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is an overflow, but it shouldn't fill to the top, there should be high and low marks on it. Does it suck back in after a while?

Oooh, what is it?

You've pretty much answered your own question- get the engine breathing well (new air filter and exhaust) then get it mapped to suit. If you're looking a bit longer term/a bit more power, you can get bigger injectors and play around with your fuel feeds a bit. As I'm sure you've seen and been told already, it's a big can of worms to open, get your wallet prepared!

Del73 was looking for one a little while ago

Generally I think most of us use millers. I was told 10/40 semi. Although I think newer engines are recommended 5/30- but I'd double check before listening to me. Have a look on opie oils, I think we get a club discount? But I'd agree that a cheaper oil changed more regularly would be just as effective- I just think the reduced interval might not actually save you any money.

Is that the reason you were up so early?

Lovely, not many in red. They're pretty easy cars to work on once you know your way around them a bit. Any plans for it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you look right at the start of SavageBulldogs' project thread he puts a link to the online workshop manual he used for his rebuild. There's a list of different engines on there. Hope this helps

Just to drag up an old post (it's quiet at work today)... If the engine's been sat for a while, it's definitely worth doing- just from personal experience. It can cause big headaches and very empty wallets if not!

Ooh, nice. When's it due? Any pictures? Welcome to the club too :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm pretty sure it's 70% on the front (that's the amount of light it still allows through) I think you can have it slightly darker if there's genuine medical reasons too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah any rubber/silicone of the same diameter would do the job. It's only a coolant line.

Have you had a look on facebook? There's a group called sell your subaru and parts UK or something- always quite a few cars about being broken, something might come up? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Taken your advice Gambit, just booked tickets for the sunday. Fingers crossed I can actually turn up in a legacy this time! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My first legacy had the same problem. If you've not done it already and have got time, get your new one spray painted, it'll give it a bit of protection in future :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
