strange, take it on a longer run and see what happens

yeah, i saw you we in the broad sort of area around there lol haha, yeah but it can wait lol i need a sign saying 'running in, try again next week' lol

was it a steady drive or did you give it some hammer? sounds daft but if the gasket is gone near the turbo it will only be on boost it leaks

im already planning milage hahaha work and back is about 30 miles if i go the long way/back country route. clinic and back is 60, im off to raf scampton sat which is 90,,,,,,,,, hahahaha

hahah nah, 1000 :D lol

yeah, not picked it up yet, having its mot tomorrow. got 500 miles on crappy mineral oil, then 500 on semi synth all with no boost :( then back for fully synth and map :D

It's alive, it's alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all 100bhp (at the wheels no less) of the finest flat 4 lol

sniff test isn;t just stickign your hooter in teh cap lol all mikey taking aside, sniff test uses a chemical to test for exhaust gases in the coolant. First thing i would check in the circumstances.

was at the sherwood one :)

i'll try and get a pic if its still there when im next up

core didnt look much better,,,,, lol

aye, bit disappointed but needs must, they did give me the option to take a chance and reused the rad but given how ropey it looked and only the cost of the rad so no additional labour or coolant charge bit of a no brainer. can see the top of the rad here, although thats' only the support frame, gives you an idea of how manky it is lol

If you change the turbo it will need mapping, unless you can find out who mapped it before it will prob end up being a full map.

I didnt swing by in the end, but been some more problems found so delayed it a tad more (only a couple of days) seems to be its had little to no major mechanical work since it was built having nock on effects with parts beibg damaged or ropey, rad is a bit worse for wear so is having a new one. due to pick it up one evening next week now, prob thursday

How much experience do they have with subarus?

Near 400 on standard pistons is taking a risk.

Already run it by the Mrs hahaha

I might pop in tomorrow in way home to check on what's going on hehe

At 330 will already be mapped. Need to upgrade the turbo to get more now.

Mine was april whem found engine was toast

Hahaha, ive not driven mine for 6 months so prob doesnt help lol

Im sat here at centre parcs on hils and im more excited abiut getting the scoob back in three days. Is this bad? Lol

Go back to subaru UK and ask them to contact the dealer cos there mucking you about.

Welcome. As far as model goes. Do you want balls out performance or more comfort?

Sc36 will do well. Hawk wrx was 500iirc so guess there the same
