welcome

aye, never look a gift horse in the mouth.

After going through the pile of receipts that came with the car it turns out it has a PPP fitted. Explains why it felt like it had a bit more grunt than the other one we road tested.

See i knew so much i bought 3 of them, well 2 and the mrs bought 1 hahaha

Cheers chaps

So it's arrived, and then there were 3 hahaha

Syvecs ecu, not the cheapest but by far the best. Haha I tried getting rid and got an m3 instead. Nice car seriously dull by comparison

Track use is a very different animal to road use, but if only occasional track then I'd go 2.5 myself. Standard block is find up to about 450and with the right supporting mods will be fine for odd tracks days. R3ason for the2.5 is it makes a great road engine, loads of low down grunt. I have acl race bearings, make piston, Manley rods. Superteck valve kit in version 5 heads and a gt2871r billet turbo. Plus whole heap supporting mods like front mount and 6 speed box. Currently run ing 398bhp and 465ftlb bit eventual target is 500bhp +

Very depends in aims and budget. Is it for road, track, race, drag use?

will throw up a CEL if you do that rear cat

Just man up, full decat and just find a friendly MOT garage. Will need mapping if you do sack all the cats off.

I'm yet to read any that havn't got alot more behind them than described. There only human so mistakes do happen, but pick up a phone and they will put it right.

Colour is a personal preference :)

Not a big fan of the wheel colour myself lol

I would take it to a reputable specialist given the issues your having. Some mappers would just fob you off if something is mechanically not right and given your coming over the water then you need any issues sorted. Scoobyclinic are based at chesterfield which will be a bit of a drive, but well worth it IMO.

RIP :(

Just ashame about the engine in the silver one :( lol i pick mine up on sat :D

Really depends on how quick you want to sell it. A quick sale will be nearer the 3k mark, but given how tidy it is someone will come along at some point.

Scoobyclinic by far. up picking up my new car on sat haha

Anit lift kit is a good idea as well as anti roll bars.

link does work. beware of cheap coilovers though. they are cheap for a reason

No, none subaru place to post :p Only a wild shot but thought i;d throw it up in case anyone is looking for a project. Following on from the engine run away my V50 is now up for sale as spares or repair. it's a 2005 V50 2.0D, covered just over 170k. In dark grey. Suffered engine run away but was stopped before engine totally let go so condition is unknown, however hasn't seized. Reason for runaway is unknown. Recent battery and alternator Scuff on front passenger wing and dent in rear arch and bumper. Alloys all in good condition bar minor scuffing and one with a small patch of bubbling. Tyres all with plenty of tread left. Interior in good condition with one minor tear. I've tried to include all the mentioned damage in the pics, bear in mind its a 12 year old car so will be odd stone ships and such. Given its condition and plenty of value in the parts look at £500. Car will need to be collected from Chesterfield. Any questions let me know.
