Plenty out there if you have the right budget. They do seem to be going up in price, but there are alot of rusty sheds out there so its def buyer beware.
-
only engine known to be worse than the 2.5 turbo is the subaru diesel engine.
-
Had a little trouble getting here but here now

welcome, glad you got there in the end 😄 -
ICP is import car parts so they are fine to use. they actualy suply most specialists with parts as well
-
Pesonaly i would go with the heavy duty ones, they will be a different material hence the 'heavy duty'. bear in mind if you stiffen up the roll bar the next weakest component will get extra flex, which may well be the drop link, also you may find the bush's are on the way out on the drop links.
-
At that age rot is gonna be a big issue and anything without a rebuilt engine will be getting prety tired.
-
should be fine
-
not many dealers around now adays, tbh you may be better going to a specialist.
-
welcome
-
aye true
-
I suspect this would invalidate your insurace policy.
-
I know the MSA banned them cos there were do many crap ones out there
-
Depends what material they are, some are cheap and nasty and you'd be better off using cable ties, some are ok. Any more details on brand etc?
-
great, i had pedders ezi fit before, and they are alot better than those, firm but not back breaking hard or crashy. cant fault them tbh. You can also fit edc controler on it which adjusts them to the road if you wanna go full out 😄
-
short version, there aint any, they are cheap for a reason. i run tein flex z on mine and they are about £850 + fitting, for that sort of budget im not aware of any better, alot seem to be to hard and make the ride crashy
-
i dont think check engine light comes on for afr's, how do you know its a fueling issue?
-
don;t know anywhere down in londaon im afraid, if you dont mnd traveling scoobyclinic up at chesterfield have done hundreds, if not thousands of them. just a warning, although you may know, you wont know the full extent of the damage till its stripped and outer wing removed, may find its got at the suspension tops in the worst case.

New member here but not a happy one 😓

looking at the leak figures alone you can see the engine is otaly goosed, sorry to her 😞 hope you get somewhere with the seller -
have to confess not sure whos down that way, sure other folks will know
-
The short version is the ecu is looking for the bits you've removed, you need to get it mapped out. My advice is stay well clear of racedungnamics, wouldn't trust the muppet to map my toaster.
-
Previous owner could have moded it and then returned it to stock when sold on, happens alot. if your getting it mapped then doesnt really matter either way
-
The stock oil filter is fine, mines setup as a 500bhp daily and runs stock, i also know full blown race cars still running them 🙂 A good way to check all ok is chuck it on a dyno, can check AFR's, det etc etc that wont be shown up by the ecu alot of the time.
-
Best way to get 350bhp, sell the car and buy an sti, vf35, exhaust and map. There are alot of below the surface difference between a n/a and even a wrx which makes it not cost viable to do. Prob not what you want to hear, but buying the turbo'd car is a better starting point than a sport and modding it.
-
1st thing is are you sure its a wrx-s? i know it sounds daft to ask but people rebadge/modify and sell cars as something they arnt to bumpt he price up (wrx sold as sti is a very common one although alot easier to spot) Second, which is my guess as to whats happened, has it ever been modified? If its been moded and then returned to stock it may have a stock wrx map applied to it instead of a wrx-s
-
The non turbo engines seem pretty bullet proof. removing the turbo removes alot of the strain on the engine and rest of the components.
