Hello! Wanting some advice
I think it's all in the maintenance, if you keep ontop of it there shouldn't be any big issues, if you start skipping services etc then your asking for it imo Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

Braided lines
Depends what your doing with it I guess, I've just done mtec discs and mintex pads all round on my STi with a view to-do braided lines and DOT5.1 fluid soon, mainly cos I think been able to stop is more of a priority than going fast haha and I want a back road blaster lol Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

Hello! Wanting some advice
Every car has its problems, ringlands with these and the 3sgte engine(found in Celica and MR2's) then there is range rovers with gear box issues in the newer ones and engine issues in the older one's, the 2.0 Subaru's(so I hear) are meant to be incredibly reliable, mines over 100k miles with no huge issues. If common fault scare you off, I'd suggest buying a push bike Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Not a place that deals in sports and performance vehicles 🙈 Went and looked at a glanza there that was asking strong money, there was cheap carbon film covering the dash in an attempt to hide holes, like big holes haha 10/10 for effort 1/10 for execution Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

Think what I think is more important with all of this is the down pipe sits right next to brake master cylinder and that lovely plastic reservoir, not I'm not saying its going to get hot enough to cause any problems.....but is it worth the chance, it's great making things go fast, but I also like to make them stop too!

Help Required - A/C Pump!!
The argument with the tests the majority of the machines do, is it tests the seals the wrong way, like@Phillip1993 said, it's a vac test not pressure test Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
