Anyone got a stock Hatch Wrx backbox forsale? looking to hook one up to my XV

is this still available and would it fit a 2012 XV?

Hi all, just wondering if anyone knows if i can replace the aerial on 2012 xv with the shark fin, like on the newer models? or even one off a impreza sti?

Hi all Been around the forum a while owning imprezas. I've just sold my GB270 & bought a 2012 XV 6speed manual 50k miles for a run around/car camping weekends after some hikes etc So far so good, abit of surface rust under the car which il be taking a wirebrush to in the coming week and putting on some underseal Noticed gear changes arent as smooth, as I was expecting so going to have a check on oils but that might just be me used to shorter changes, would love a short shifter if anyone knows of any for 2012 xv Any others issues I should look out for? Thanks Andy

hi savage thanks for the reply I couldn’t tell you myself to be honest, I’m quite a rookie when it comes to these engines, probs get to get it on to have a proper look noticed a little grey smoke from exhaust on start up that’s abit oily smelling but that clears after the first initial puff, I have had people saying with a forged engine you do get abit of oil in the turbo/intercooler if you don’t have a catch can fitted, but that’s not giving my any idea of where it’s leaking from unfortunately im guessing the turbo is already a bigger one with the engine being forged? But might be wrong

i've got a GB270 forged engine 361bhp ok so i noticed a small dropping of oil at the weekend when it was raining, & reversing into my bay had a further look and it looks like it coming from behind the (top mount) intercooler, so took that off for a further look when taking it off, there is a visable amount of oil in the intercooler, and also in the turbo air outlet, not massive amounts but enough to be concerned, any ideas? would be a big help. ive read it may be turbo on his way out? 😢

fingers crossed
