Cheers guys I'll see how it goes. The fitting kit says it should be self sealing on the cone fittings to do them finger tight then 1/4 turn definitely didn't work for me like that! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not convinced I got the cone fitting piece oil tight still, went for a drive, noticed a tiny dribble, wiped it away and left it running for another 10 mins and still dry- could that be oil on the joint from before or do I still have an issue? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Andy forest has a very good rep, and the 2.5s can make good power especially in sti spec with a tune. The 2.5 does have a reputation for piston ring land failure which is one of the reasons I was put off the 2.5 but there's loads out there without issues. Seems to have been loved if all the receipts are there. I'm not a fan of the spoiler but that's my personal taste and being picky so don't let it out you off! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good old ptfe :-) it's saved me many a time! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm only on 62k! But she's standard bar a cat back, silicone y pipe and air filter. At least you give me faith in the longevity of the scooby flat 4, have seen some monster miles on some which is a good sign! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tasteful sound system upgrade
martyc replied to DaveWRX's topic in Subaru Audio / Electronics / Security
Component speakers are the best option but co-axs are ok and easiest to fit. Spend the money on the front end as that's where you sit. Plenty of Bluetooth head units around now at really reasonable prices as stants said. It's amazing the difference a small sub can make, not for the boy racer boom effect but giving a fuller sound. Although I must admit I used to be a bit of a bass fiend back in my younger years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Well at least it seems in the ball park :-) I just wanted to be able to monitor it so I could switch it off before it eats itself if it ever goes wrong. No wonder it's a bugger to seal at 5.5bar! At least it seems all good still after a little drive Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think so, about 80psi when cruising around at just over 2k, although the warm idle seems low at around 30? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The finished article. Extended the oe sender wire as it was too short and tried to put the t piece out of the way but visible to keep an eye on it. Not the tidiest but was struggling to find place for it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Managed to get to the sender, hooked all up fine, although a 24mm deep socket would make life a damn sight easier! Had a really annoying leak on one of the cone fittings, managed to get it to seal after 4 attempts and lots of ptfe. But even with my hamfisted -ness i achieved it. Definitely achievable by any novice. I just hope it stays oil tight! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How did you get to the one under the alt? Flexi adaptor turned up today, assembled it to go in using ptfe on all the threads, but can't see an easy way to get to the oe sender unit? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The freelander1 is a terrible vehicle, weak transmission and self destructive engines on all but the td4. Also electronic faults galore. The fl2 is better designed and uses a haldex diff but is still a soft reader but a better all round product than the fl1. Can't really comment on the forester as not done a huge amount of research into them. Was tempted by the 2.5xt but engine failure stories put me off. So bought an older Impreza instead.

Put my pod in whilst working lol, just need to connect the power up when I get 5 mins :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you're near I'll be interested too :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They have to be solenoid controlled iirc and apart from the noise are meant to be a bit pointless on a diesel Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had the ic out and access was easy but only hex bit I had was on a 1/4 drive and I didn't want to snap it or damage anything so I gave up on that! Plus turns out I needed some other bits anyway Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Turns out I'm missing the adaptor that's meant to come with the kit! One email to scoobyworld and they're getting one out in the post, well impressed with the service! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just tried the no 3 plug, it is tight as fook and can't get it out! Didn't wanna strip or break anything so will have to try the other method. Ran all the wires into the bay and done the boost sender etc so will hopefully have the gauges in today even if the OP isn't hooked up yet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
Did you have to use an adapter or did it go straight in? What sort of gauge have u got? Thanks for the prompt reply:-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
I've bought the twin prosport pillar gauge set from scoobyworld (boost and oil pressure) and I'm not sure if I'm missing something? The boost gauge seems straight forward, as does the wiring (all feeds can be taken from the clock from what I can gather?) but with the oil pressure gauge there is no adaptor just a sender unit. Has anyone bought this set up and can advise how to plumb in the OP gauge? Or am I missing something? Thanks in advance :-) Martin Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My prodrive sounds good with a straight thru centre section, makes a nice flat four burble without being too loud in the car. No idea if it would fit on a sport tho. I would imagine the bore on an na would be smaller? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd go for the pre just because the rfl for post 06 cars is ridonkulous! Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

If you could get a written quote from scooby clinic that'd be good evidence too i would imagine Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk -

Start with its not as described, and the faults were not pointed out at the time of purchase therefore you are protected under the sale of goods act. Just found this to get you started http://www.tradingstandards.uk/cgi-bin/glos/con1item.cgi?file=*ADV0003-1011.txt Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk -
I'm ok ish, done chain and sprockets, changed calipers, fuel lines, etc. Know enough to keep mine going anyway :-) not an expert by any stretch of the imagination but bikes are simple relatively and access tends to be pretty easy Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
