    There is a clip missing for the n/s mounting point. But the bracket has been broken by a previous gorilla and glued back together by a chimp.

    Mine has a cable tie on one side. I am on the process of taking the bumper off so I’ll see why it’s been put on. I’d say the locating clips on either side at the top have been broken off. Cable tie = quick fix..

    There were two I think. The first pic is of the standard type and the second pic is of an alloy upgrade you could have. I like the ones in photo two personally but each to their own.

    Hi and welcome. All the reviews point it towards being a bit thirsty for what it is. For a first car I would say it would be a good buy especially if your after a subaru as their cheap to insure. Get a few years no claims under your belt and move up to a 2.0 na. Then on to a turbo! Good luck.

    Crystal cleats look ace in my opinion. Why on earth would someone put a dark tint on a front facing fog light? You said it, someone who’s a plank. Ha.

    Took a picture before I take the bumper off to get it re sprayed. I hope the bumper bracket isn’t like the rear one.. Swiss cheese with rust! 😩

    They came with crystal clear ones, I am not sure if they were an optional extra or as standard on a 2000 turbo. If you’re fog lights aren’t clear ones then the standards will look best.

    These should fit. You will need the indicators though. You can get crystal clear headlights and indicators which look better in my opinion.

    Best jokes

    Mattb replied to Rps's topic in Junk Room

    A police man stopped me in the street the other morning at 4am and asked me “Where do you think you’re going at this hour”? I replied I am going to a lecture on alcohol abuse and the affect it has on the human body, it’s also about staying out too late and smoking too much” ”Oh yes replied the police man, and who might be giving this lecture?” “That would be the wife I replied”

    Your welcome. Regular services. Quality parts. A reputable Subaru tuner for any future modifications (I’d keep it as is if it were mine) and plenty TLC for a sweet running motor. Good luck.

    Welcome. The standard turbo should be a TD04 15g. It looks very clean and tidy! Its been well looked after.

    The Imobiliser can’t be shutting you out can it?

    Welcome. Gotta love a classic!
  14. Mattb
    Hi. It will be a version 5 - 6. They called them facelift classics. Imprezas changed in 2001 from classics to bugeye versions if that’s what you mean.. the momo steering wheel you get in the 2000 turbo facelift will fit your car and make it look better. Hope all goes well

    Hi, If you can find a standard low mileage one I’d go for that. It all depends on how much you want to spend. There’s plenty of cheap modified ones but your potentially buying other people’s problems. Personally I’d buy standard and keep standard. I’d have another if the handbrake (wife) would let me.

    If you increase the air flow or/and the exhaust flow you need a re map. It might be that it was ok with just a de cat and a different turbo. I’d get a new MAF sorted and have it checked out to see how it’s running. If it’s in need of a re map I’d get an induction kit put on or at least a high flow panel filter.
  17. Mattb
    I’d clean the MAF sensors again, sounds like it might be cause.. if it doesn’t come right after another clean just replace it.
  18. Mattb
    Best way is with a multi meter to see if there’s resistance in the electrical flow. Ive put a pic on. The boost valve is behind the air box. There’s a video on YouTube showing you how to do it. Instead of me writing it out. Ha.
  19. Mattb
    I’d try cleaning the MAF and the boost solenoid. Failing that have a look at the HT leads and the spark plugs. Start with the easiest and least expensive first. Is it used daily and when did you last have it serviced?
  20. Mattb
    Thumbs up to the classic. Welcome. Pictures are welcome too!

    A turbo charged performance petrol is smiles per gallon. Turbo charged dirty derv is miles per gallon. 250 - 300 on long runs is the norm 150 - 200 without the wife in for me.
  22. Mattb
    Oo.. the wife did a stressed Eric impression when I insured, serviced and taxed it this month. I may need to insulate the dog house for winter if the gear box is to come out....
  23. Mattb
    At some point my gearbox is to come out, the rear crank shaft oil seal is leaking a bit.. I've got some seal conditioner in with the oil at the min which has slowed it down for now. Has he quoted you a price if I might ask?
  24. Mattb
    You gotta admit though, coal rolling is funny.
  25. Mattb
    Now then and welcome. Have a look at this one at Peterborough.. It doesn't look like it's been messed with too much. Good luck in your search for a motor.
