  1. LogWorks. https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/logworks/id351896392?mt=8 There's no setting or anything in log works and it just won't connect even tried to connect manually and that still didn't work. It works fine with car doctor and I have downloaded a load of the free OBD2 apps to try out.
  2. just search OBD2 in your app store.
  3. got mine plugged it in connect via wifi to phone, my app doesnt pick it up though :( Car Doctor is one of the apps you can use to connect to the OBD reader there are loads of apps about.
  4. Got mine aswell. the iphone will connect to the reader but the app says nothings connected :(
  5. Shop wise if you called them pretty sure they could advise on bits that would fit, induction kits, exhaust back boxes, wheels, strut braces, suspension parts etc would more than likey be the same as a WRX. http://www.just-subaru.com http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk http://www.japperformanceparts.co.uk http://asperformance.com
  6. Don't think many AWD road cars can do this! Chelsea tractors not included.
  7. The pump creates a resistance and in turn adds load on the engine via the belt. Any load on the engine will sap power & increases fuel consumption as the engine has to work harder to perform to the same level. I've read anything from 3bhp to 14bhp (old Jag) depending on age and type of car.
  8. Still waiting on delivery of my reader, wish amazon would be clearer when the seller isn't in the UK.
  9. http://money.cnn.com/2014/07/03/autos/subaru-recall/ Attention cold climate drivers, Subaru said Thursday that it is recalling 660,238 vehicles. The recall covers vehicles that are currently, or have ever been registered, in what Subaru calls the "20 salt belt states" - where salt is used to melt ice and snow in the winter months. Not sure if it affects us this side of the pond, always good to know though. Our winters aren't that bad but some of the northern owners might want to contact Subaru to see if they are affected.
  10. only thing I can think of the is Turbo's bearings, the whine seems tied to the Turbo. Hopefully one pof the Techy Guys or Scooby Spoecialist will chip in with the correct Diagnosis
  11. this only applies to Pre 08 cars. they beefed up the loom on the later cars so you can run it off tyhe stock loom.
  12. Yeah lot of people do this but after Reading up on it it seems using the separate loom with a direct feed from the battery means they are louder than running of the stock loom. Also the thin wires the stock horns use can melt if you get a short or something, using higher rated wire in the separate loom avoids this and also having separate loom and fuse means you won't loose all your horns if something goes.
  13. Also looking wonky :( Will prob take it all off and mod the bracket next weekend.
  14. I got mine from ebay, think they are copies though as they were made in India not Germany. My wiring loom cost me about £20 for all the blade connectors wire, heat shrink and flexi tube. Their guide is pretty much exactly what I did. I used the thread on NASIOC http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1133994 2 things with the subiemods guide. 1. the bracket on the front of the car where the existing horn and bonnet catch is was flat on mine, you may need to straighten out the SM bracket. 2. They don't mention the headlight washers. If you have them on your car, before you take the bumper off gently lift the washer cover plate up and then it unclips from the actual washer unit. If you leave them one you will break them when removing the bumper.
  15. Fitted the hella supertones today. You have to take the whole from bumper off!!! Took me about 4.5 hours, reckon about about an hour was spent going backwards and forwards to my garage at the back off the house. Front bumper off. It's pretty easy, there are a few fasteners on top off the grill, 4 or 5 on each wheel arch and four underneath holding the under tray on. You could do it just removing the grill but you have to take the under tray off to get to 4 screws at the bottom off the grill so it was easier just to whip the bumper off and leave the under tray on the car. I copied the subiemods bracket and made one myself for £15 inc getting a metal workshop to cut it out for me. Made up my own wiring harness using felxitube and heat shrink to tidy all the ends up. Didn't take a pic of that though :( Mounted the really to the side of the relay/fuse box. Finally got the bumper back on and everything back in place. Works a treat, I left one of my stock horns connected in case the separate fuse on the hella loom blows so I still have a horn.

Salsa, note there are two stock horns of the car, one in the middle and one under the drivers side headlight.
  17. It's Monthly Meet time again! As ever, it's at The Fairmile in Cobham. Full address for the pub is: The Fairmile Portsmouth Road Cobham Surrey KT11 1BW Kicks off from 13:00pm onwards! Eveyone with a Scoob is Welcome. Your welcome even if you don't have a Scoob, you just can't park on the grass :) As with the last couple of months, before adding your name to the list, please ensure that you read the following: Meet rules: 1. No idiotic driving on the roads surrounding the Fairmile 2. No damaging the Fairmile grass 3. No leaving litter/cans/pint glasses on the Fairmile grass 4. Do not partake in any other idiotic behaviour that gives Scoobies a bad name In addition we ask that only Japanese cars park on the grass please. Members are more than welcome to come down in non-Jap cars (or bring friends) but please, Japanese only parked on the grass (there is a second car park to the rear of the Fairmile if you don't want to park in the main area).
  18. Sorry mate, you may aswell buy a classic scoob for what it will cost to get the burble. In 2006 Subaru changed from the unequal length header which gave the scoob it's classic burble to an equal length header which is better for performance and efficiency. If you really want the burble you can get it back, but it means a complete front to cat back exhaust system. Plus remapping. Then you'll also have to fiddle and relocate a few wires and sensors in the engine bay. It's entirely doable, just be prepared to shell out plenty of cash.
  19. How do I get the card? The offer on the site has a grey box with show card but nothing happens except it changes to view code. I'm on the ipad if that makes a difference?
  20. Lifted from Surrey Scoobies. I noticed in the last ep of Launch Controll Higgins had a big black camera on the roof of his car. Looks promising, would be good to see it in other sports. Always surprised they haven't mounted cams either side of the drivers eyes in or on the crash helmet so we can get a real drivers eye view.
  21. Block is fine when he has set the course up and done 30 odd pratices and re-takes, but as you guys have said put him in a real rally situation and he just does not have that special something top drivers have. If he had been doing rallying for all his career in WRC he would be a lot better but he does look like a rookie when it comes to top level rallying. Which I think shows that if the WRC was the premiership, Rally America would be 1st division and European Rallies would be Championship. Thats also proved I think by Higgin's succes in the states. When he has done WRC he never really did that well but has been great at the national level. I think this is also backed up by his amazing TT run. It was fantastic and showed great knowledge and car control. Bear in mind though He does live on the Isle of Man so he knows the roads like the back of his hand and has done many laps of the circuit. I wonder how Loeb would have done in the STI?
  22. worked fine for me. One thing the renewal is set up for Auto renewal annually is there any whay to change this? After all situations change and people move on.
  23. Ah if it was Saturday my car won't be there as I went on the Sunday :D
