If he's not even checked the oil before you went to look at it run away, obviously doesn't look after his car! Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Normally it will be below and slightly to the left of the dump valve position shown by the silver blanking plug in this pic... Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

No worries :-) I keep finding myself looking for my next hit to satisfy my urges, but the more you get into it the more you need to satisfy the craving. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If i got more of that I might spend less time with the car! Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Hi my name is Martin and i am here to admit my problem. It started 8 or so years ago, drooling over the offbeat warble of imprezas driving past. I vowed to myself-one day i would have one. Several years passed and i kept putting off buying one, saying I'd wait til i earn more etc... this year i thought sod it, I'm having one. So now I've got a 2003 wrx, i spend all my spare time and cash cleaning, fettling, looking or buying new parts, hiding them in the boot til they get fitted. My missus thinks i love Suzy (the car) more than her. I do. It gives me less grief and I'm more likely to get lucky with it. And we love getting dirty together before washing all of her curves and caressing her intimate parts, covering her in thick gloopy liquid before massaging it in. My name is Martin, I'm an addict in love with my Impreza, what's your story? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

My whiteline bits have been dispatched too :-) Just been trying to clean up the engine bay with a bit of metal polish to de-fur the intercooler and make it match my shiny new !Removed! brace Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

I paid 4995 for my blob wrx, maybe slightly over the going rate but smiles per £ well worth it Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I refitted the recirc on mine for a week. Maybe felt a bit smoother on gear changes but wasn't the same without the woosh as you say- so back on it went :-) Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

281692023491 check this item number out on ebay, is that what you are looking for? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Apparently the ppp does away with the rear cat ie the one after the main on the wrx ppp Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Can be heavy on fuel, looked into getting one and the forums seem to make it sound like a labour of love with lots of niggles that can cost as they get older. Also heard of diff troubles. Parts can be expensive too Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Hi guys, looking for some advice on what to get/do. Currently have a prodrive backbox and (i think) centre section that i bought off the 'bay. The centre section has rusty flanges despite being a stainless pipe (not a fan of dirty flanges) and doesn't seal very well at the bb flange so I'm considering replacing the centre section and 2nd cat with a decat and keeping the back box. The questions are: Do prodrive centre sections have cast flanges as opposed to stainless or have i been stitched up? Will a 2nd decat throw a CEL or require a remap? What is the standard downpipe cat capable of flowing power-wise? As tempting as it is, i want to try keep it emissions test friendly rather than going down the full decat route. Sorry for the amateur questions, i have done a search but couldn't find what i was looking for!

I love the sound these make, as a colleague describes it; 'it sounds like a squirrel has been thrown into the engine'. Unfortunately i can't justify 250 quid to sound awesome at the moment! Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

I bought a prodrive intercooler y pipe off ebay..... trying to get basic mods in place ready for a re-map but trying not to spend too much all at once so i can enjoy the modifying experience :-) Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Depends on the run and driving i think! I prepared myself to accept 20mpg and think of anything else as a bonus... so I'm over the moon! Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Looks like a nice straight car too and only 10 miles down the road from me. I'd be cautious but a cat c or d if its planned to be a long keeper doesn't have massive implications as long as they are repaired properly imo, even better if you can find out what happened. I don't know if its true but i was told even a relatively light front end knock can write these off due to the proximity of cam belt, expensive parts and labour costs which tend to lead to insurers writing them off.

Do you have key cover with your car, bank or home insurance? Or does your mate whos car it was? Might be worth a try? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

I drove it.... went to Norwich shopping for the day and averaged 32mpg? I topped up when i got back out of curiosity. That includes brisk progress off roundabouts to the legal limit. Really chuffed and exhaust sounds perfect, quiet with windows up and a nice burble with them wound down. Had it a fortnight and loving it :-) Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

It is possible (anything is!)- but a lot of work and not really worth it unless you want a pretty serious in depth project. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Fitted my ebay bargain prodrive exhaust. Sounds beautiful. Unfortunately my mate ordered the wrong spring bolts (done it in his workshop out of hours), so had to knock some up with high tensile bolts, springs and a double nut to stop them vibrating loose Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

None of it is really horrendous stuff, mostly service items really but just a few of them Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
