  1. welcome. Dale will advise how bad and whats needed as far as the rust :) (body shop guy up at clinic)
  2. IM seem hell bent on removing Subaru from the UK, telling people what they want and not listening to what people say. Such ashame really.
  3. At the end there is a bit where a couple fo folks have a conversation about lunch, is it Tom Felton and jon favreau
  4. he doesnt come on here any more, but i dropped him a text and its all sold dude im afraid
  5. seen a few recommendations but thats about it.
  6. other than hearing the name don't know anyone personally who's used him
  7. way up north in scotland
  8. hes based at scoobyclinic, unfortunately he doesn't do general mapping now :( he's the brains behind syvecs so just consentraits on that
  9. not huge amounts you can do untill the main engine is sorted as far as power mods go :( decat and a map should see 330-340 and thats about your lot.
  10. one of those mods that some cars are fine with, some don't like and play up. You should be ok, but only way to tell is to get it checked out. It's always worth running the car on a dyno after any mods you do to make sure its not changed anything then you know its fine.
  11. depends what your plans are and what budget tbh. engine rebuild is going to be 4-5k at least, but if you plan to aim for 500bhp then will be more than that plus a whole heap of supporting mods. The 2.5 weakness is it doesn't have forged pistons so they are known to break ringlands and the headgaskets have a nasty habit of failing. It seems to be pot luck whether they fail or not.
  12. not 100% on him tbh, heard the odd bad story (which you will about most place, just tends to be how bad and what the basis on them is) but does seem to be one of the better ones. Very few people i would trust to map my car tbh Engine tuner, scoobyclinic, andy F and Pat H are prob the only ones.
  13. waste of money, ecu controls the boost ;)
  14. yeah, afraid so, the standard 2.5 isnt great and wont take much more than 350ish before it's at high risk of failure :(

    Misfire

    NGK pfR6 for normal, pfr7 for tuned are the norm
  16. Im not gonna turn it into another long thread, but IMO (and alot of others), he's technically lacking in knowledge, has poor working practices and will leave you up the swanny if things go wrong, i'd sooner let a monkey have a go at it.
  17. If you plan on changing the turbo your basicly over the limit of the engine. mid 300's is about as good as it gets without playing roulet with it.

    checked the spark plugs? also could be a lead/coil pack issue
  19. Mapping wise, Andy F is up north, Engine tuner down south, Scoobyclinic midlands. Very few places i'd trust to map mine.
  20. my advice, take it to someone who knows what they are doing.
  21. not sure exact month he got it to know which model year he has. shall see if he's heard anything
  22. hes gonna give the dealer a bell
  23. ah scratch that, http://www.pedders.co.uk/subaru-impreza-gg--wagon-sportsryder-lowering-kit--0007--bugblobhawk-eye-_p31561071.htm#.Wlad1Khl8uU wagon setup is available now :D
  24. Are pedders doing the wagon setup yet? bear in mind it's not the same as the saloon. http://www.pedders.co.uk/subaru-impreza-gd-including-wrx-and-sti-sportsryder-ezifit-strut-lowering-kit_p28563173.htm#.Wladlqhl8uU 'NOT suitable for wagon models'
  25. is this affecting this years model? my dads is about 6 months old now
