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. -

Wrx sti 2006 ppp Rolling road figures
Tidgy replied to Turnerdv10's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
Unless im mistaken the dyno is in the wrong mode, Should be in shoot_44, also looks like the gear ratio is set different to my old wrx. 'Shoot_44 Four cylinder 4WD passenger cars eg Subaru WRX' '3.536' Im not sure what 'shoot_AF' actually is. Do you know what gear it was in when they ran it? -
Sounds like you have a boost leak that only opens up under load. Should just be a case of running through the system to find it.
-
haha, fingers crossed it turns out to be somethign minor
-
check its not blown the oil feed off the trubo or somethign daft, but i suspect the damage might be done 😞
-
could be a whole load of issues from overgeating the oil, to oil starvation when going round bends with high force, oil pump failure. if the oil has been dumped out you may have a hole in the block which coudl be cuased by the oil thinning out and metal on metal. Sounds like the oil temp may be the issue, asssuming you dont have a oil temp gauge?
