Mark 2, searching for OBDii port, and found this ???
Tidgy replied to Jon-anthony's topic in Subaru Forester Club
Its the control panel for the sigma alarm. If you don't know the code for it, don't touch it unless your very sure you know what your doing. -
if you go new age then sti will have 6 speed, so will save 2-3k in buying one. 2001 sti's engines are mega strong even in factory form, last of the proper forged engines. really depends what model you want
-
nope, theres myths out there about the ecu learning, but thats very minor. If your going down the route of rebuild base model of the engine doesnt really matter unless your going big power like 600 then you want to look at a closed deck. personaly i;d go 2.5 and get it converted to closed deck, good for 500 and loads of low down grunt.
-
not much you can do engine/power wise without mapping im afraid.
-
i'd guess they were damaged but bumper was ok
-
Scoobyclinic has a second hand bumper but don;t have the grills apparently
-
no probs, i'll ask around as well. bear in mind will need painting of course.

Yep. saloon wrx and sti are same, bumper, bonnet, wings etc. Wagon is def different wings so i'd guess the bumper may be different
-
Engine tuner are down in plymouth
-
I'll ask those in the know tomrrow.
-
wrx wagon is different front wings so not sure on the bumper alignment
-
Spec C WRX Fogs are just panels. sti
-
spec c didnt have anything special, it's just a normal bumper with a lip spoiler.
-
As sugest it clean it up and see whats going on, ps pumps are near on £500 just for the part 😮
-
you called,,,, haha wrx wont be a widetrack, and widetrack didnt come in till 2005, i think you need a new mechanic.
-
Different companies will vary massively, try gary at keith michaels. Also make sure you disclose any and all the mods
-
You wanna get a leak down test done rather than a comp test.
-
Sounds like you need to get it to a specialist and get them to go through it/dyno it and find exactly whats going on
-
just as a side note, pretty ts not a spec d, its an sti limited, 1 of 25 cars.

Low oil warning light - Faulty sensor as dipstick fine?
Tidgy replied to longsh07's topic in Subaru XV Club
Def sounds like a duff sensor. has it got the right oil in it? if the oil is thinning out as it heats up may be could possibly throw strange codes. -
first off the car is about 30% higher in price to buy so you'd expect some increase in running costs, Also its considerable larger car itself from what i can tell. But that said i wouldn't say they are sky high. It tends to be the sportier models of subaru's that are more expensive to run and sounds like a lack of knowledge about them.
-
yeah, although he seems to do less and less nowadays.
-
Andy Forrest wont be able to check the BHP as he doesn't have a dyno, bear in mind they are only estimated figures anyway. as far as mods go there's a pretty long list and any subaru specialist will be able to get parts for them.

HELP ME ACCIDENT/INSURANCE - CAR BEING TAKEN AWAY
Tidgy replied to JoC's topic in General Subaru Chat
they use 60% of its value, so that will get written off. They just value it based on book value, not retail, which is a bit crap. With the floor buckled i'ts not gonna be a cheap fix to do it properly. i'd be tempted to just strip it, but personaly i wouln't put it back ont he road, just not wirth the cost. as far as getting the car back, if its a 3d party, aka not your insurance, paying out then the car still belongs to you to do as you please.
