Tidgy

i inititaly had pedders on my hawk, had nothing but issues with them so in the end got rid of them and had tein flex z fitted, can't fault them tbh, firm but not crashy and a big step up on the stock and pedders.

Very common thing on them, replace is only real option, give a few breakers a call and see if they have a decent one

Welcome, get some pics up :d Afraid I can't help with whos down that way

welcome 😄

Take it back to where ver you had the clutch fitted and get them to sort it.

nice, get some pics up 😄

Have to say im not sure what alarm is fitted to the newer ones. It used to have a number panel you could bind keys and such to.

If you look at the pics on that thread, the last pic, round vertical can attached to the bulkhead. Only hicup is i doubt it will fit with the standard top mount intercooler. Does yours have the secondary air system? where the pump sits could be a possible place if not. Get some pics up of yours by the wsay 🙂

yeah 56 plate,

The wife's has a perrin A/O seperator. not sure if its a difrect fit though.

Sounds like an electricasl fault, not sure what a engine cleaner is gonna do :S need to find a specialist really.

has the car been mapped for uk fuel? could be the cold weather is causing the issues.

sounds like power steering belt to me, so see how you get on after that

Welcome, get some pics up 🙂 any plans for modding?

Basicly supply and demand, not many GX's are still on the road, or ever were in truth. Its a different shape to a turbo fitment which were much more common. Also cats arnt cheap in general either, your looking best part of £500 for one for any car. One option is to just decat it, as long as you can find a friendly mot place that will pass the emissions test for you 😉

Oil cooler would be a very good idea as on track temps will get very high, also worth a set of decent gauges to keep an eye on temps/oil pressure etc

I've been a draughty for past 20 years so i'm sure some of the stuff you've seen like me has been horendus, that actualy looks pretty good. Noice, might be worth insulating it then, some insulating panels would do the job well even with single skin.

Noice, getting there then mate, are you planning on putting power in it?

I've use scoobyclinic up at chesterfield for about 25 years now 🙂

Try import car parts, should be able to supply oem springs, other option is a set of lowering springs.

Welcome, looks tidy

grats, get some pics up 😄 ebay may well be your best bet for a manual.

the 2.0 is good out the box (kept within reason mods wise of course), 2002 onwards they don't have proper forged pistons, they use heated treated cast, but they are about 200000000000 miles better than the 2.5 out the box. (04 and 05 engines are pretty much exactly the same, 06 they shifted to the 2.5) Keep on top of maintenance and they are reliable even with some modding. One thing to bear in mind is your talking about a 20 year old car that was about £30k new to buy, so come service time bills will cost what they cost for a 30k car. Also at that age, it's highly likley it has wear and tare so will prob need some work. Rubber seal, bush's etc are the same on any car for example. I'm not trying to put you off by the way, just trying to make sure you dont get any nasty surprises, they are amazing cars and tbh very little out there compares to them performance and fun to drive, i've had them for over 20 years now and even an M3 didnt come close to the enjoyment. With a scoobs its MOS not MPG, miles of smyles 😄

fair enough, the engines of that age are alot stronger than the more recent 2.5's, but as said, like anything harder you push, the shorter they last

Welcome, 440 is pretty high on the stock engine even for an 04, other than the 2001 sti engine the 2004 was one of the stronger ones out the box, but it will reduce the longevity running at that power, by how much is tough to say though. I'm guessing its this one? https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202309041531719?sort=price-desc&advertising-location=at_cars&include-delivery-option=on&keywords=sti&make=Subaru&page=12&postcode=de59tu&fromsra
