Powerflex bushes
There are cheaper ones, super pro poly etc. I think for the ARB there could be different sizes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Advice on new car Man/auto
Maybe the actual changing of gear, but the bit that normally takes a while is when you put your foot down and the car decides whether it can get power in the same gear or if it needs to change down. I know there's a little button behind the accelerator pedal that helps it know what to do but have to be 100% throttle to push it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Advice on new car Man/auto
Also people get the impression a boy racer hasn't owned it when it comes to selling :) don't know what the auto is like on them, but on my older 2001 car I drive it like a manual by downshifting with the lever and up shifting by letting off the accelerator slightly and it changes gear when I want it to. 3 point turns and overtaking take longer though. I think the awd system also reacts differently auto/manual. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Body damage
Not just you, my friend went outside to find this yesterday or Friday Turns out a car pulled out without looking, sideswiped another car and scraped into her car which before then had no scratches or dents I can think of apart from a patch of rust near petrol filler :( Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi guys.
I only know of one in Norfolk but they do post some bits, they are called Imprezabreakers and I think the website is that with .com on the end. Maybe look up the number and give them a call Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi guys.
Hello from another NA owner, you've brought us all out of hiding! What year is it? My friends NA has drum brakes on the rear with no ARB but read if you got the bits from a car with disc brakes, as a bonus it comes with mountings for a rear ARB. Would be better for the track :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edit- oops that tip was for a gc8, don't know if that applies to yours! :$

Brakes on my99 wagon turbo are......crap.
Check both pads on the same side are worn by the same amount and if the outer is more than the inner etc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also after accelerating a Subaru you get some noise/wobble as you return from supersonic to subsonic speeds ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edit: I say a Subaru... Just not my Subaru :(

rotherham / doncaster
Knock sensor (detonation) should pick it up, search for engine pinging and you might find a vid with the noise, never heard it but I think it's a tapping noise. After fixing an exhaust leak before o2 sensor, might be best to reset ecu to relearn but if you've booked it in might aswell leave it for them to look at as resetting would delete ecu codes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Went to see a friend recently who was sorting his brakes out when I got there, he said one of his pads wore down more than the other and was taking off corrosion from the Pistons. One both sides it was the side to the inside of the wheels that was the problem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What is this?! Flywheel
Anything on the receipt with a part number? Try matching with that one scribbled in Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Estimated number plate value
Guess these are unused ones from DVLA but used or not what matters is what it says. Your plate says scooby more than these do :) But these prices include registering/transferring etc, I guess find out how much that cost then subtract from the total? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Impreza 2.0 RX Auto
The previous owner went to an exhaust shop to get it made, when she first got it, it was really loud with the noise echoing around the boot but managed to find a different exhaust to quieten it down. She still has the bigger back box that was on there, probably looking to get rid of, but it is sleeved I think and either a couple inches too short or too long to fit on the standard mid pipe Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

DPF filter
Don't know about Subaru, but I think some cars have (or had?) a tank to fill in an additive for the dpf which was done at service Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bottle under air intake box?
Oooo that bottle, was thinking about the box :) I drive a NA, when I floor the poor thing I get a slight whistle noise that is coming from that little drainage hole, so in my mind I pretend that I had done well in life and make myself believe the whistle is from a turbo (or two) :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Saw a program speed with guy Martin, they were racing a van, had some sort of problems with either speed or cooling or aerodynamics but they found out having mesh created quite a bit of restriction at speed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Engine help, video included
Wear long sleeves if you think you are going to touch / cut that heat wrap, the strands get soooo itchy! You might find the noise is louder if you listen from underneath at an angle where the plastic under guard isn't in the way. Sometimes I find just putting your hand in line of sight is enough to change the noise without getting close to it, it'll sound like it's coming from another room. Could maybe try holding something like a straw to avoid burns, feel for vibrations but never tried it. This picture is for the start of your journey :D Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Listening to it on my phone it reminds me of the top gear special where they went to go see the baby jeeeesus and the spark plug kept coming out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
