Worst case if it is, and you can't fix, I'll take it please 😬 Id definitely check out the housing and all your connections. Might of just blown a pipe off?

Yep, that's what I was thinking...either that or the fuse was actually gone and it just took a few to reset it 🤔

Yep Whiteline have loads of good reviews on their sway bars etc. but like you said, can't find anything on the lowering springs. Decent price though and we know the rest of their stuff is quality...wondering if they're worth a punt. Says you can use OE with them as well. Just wish the drop was a tad more! Was hoping for just around 30mm, maybe a bit more (coilovers)...

...at least it's not a tare in his up pipe 😂

Quick Google found nothing...

Ooooh interesting... http://scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=39_271&products_id=4167

Yep read the electrics are a weak point...I didn't turn it off, they're supposed to go off after 15mins anyways. Just realised it wasn't working on day...couldn't get it to work for a few days, and now it's working again...🤔😕

Volt gauge? I've got fuel pressure, oil temp, water temp in 3 hood in the centre console where clock was, and a boost and oil pressure on the a pillar...want a wideband AF gauge but yeah...think the Apexi Trubi Timer can do it if I set it up?

The worst. Women just don't understand!

So randomly, the rear defrost started working again...no idea what's going on there. All seems to be running smoothly again. Debating on lowering springs or coilovers now...anyways, snuck a few quick low light/dark pics on the way home from work

Very tempting...anyone got a cable and laptop I can borrow? 😂

I'm with @Jay762

Maybe a slight crack in a pipe or something?

Yep, same. Most springs seem to be about the same price though. I've heard mixed on Eibach as well if I'm honest. Think Eibach runs about £230? I'm tempted to try those RaceComp Engineering ones...just get my parents to bring them over with them.

Yeah, don't really want anything super stiff or really loud, hence why I was thinking along the lines of springs more than coilovers. Think I'm going to have to have a really good research into them. Tein springs are only £190 or so.

Yeah mate. £900 for Tein coilovers...but I'm sure I can run OE STI stuff with the RCE Yellows and they're about £250...gahhhh decisions! Wheel gap arghhhh!

Yea it did. Honestly have no idea now as it's working again? 🤔😕 *sorry mustn't of hit post button haha

Hahahaha class! 😂😂😂

To be honest, I would plan on upgrading to struts to Koni Yellow or Tokico Blue anyways. I know what you mean, but I don't know many Scoob owners near me that have springs or coilovers. I'm leaning towards springs with new struts, more for ride comfort than anything as I don't plan on doing track days (yet...maybe in the distance future I'll do some, but probably not enough to justify coilovers). Ideally I'd like something so there's no wheel gap, which I know coilovers would give me...

So looking into lowering my car. Kinda of went away from coilovers because I'm not sold on the ride being overly stiff for my daily driver, but I want something with a decent drop rate. Read a lot into a few different brands, some swear by Tein and others say stay away? Anyone have them? Other options, Prodrive or Cobb? A lot of people say RaceComp Engineering Yellows or Blacks are by far the best, but I don't think you can get them in the UK?

So randomly relay starts making the on noise and light now works...doesn't defrost though...

Good idea

Start with the little things first, injectors etc. You should be able to push a decent amount out of the stock turbo? And if you're planning on rebuilding, then I'd just run it on the stock internals until it blows personally 😉😂

my mate in the States ran a FP Green, and a full turbo back exhaust and had t mapped on a hawkeye STI for years with no problems mind and I'm pretty sure he was pushing 400 horsies. They don't need too much to make decent numbers from what I've read. Why I was thinking bigger injectors 😂 If you're going to spend the dough, get the bigger ones like you say haha

Hmm, are you ever going to want more than 350? Because you need to build around the turbo sizing. FP Green could get you to 400 pretty easily. But there's loads of turbo choices. Think someone did a thread in the general Subaru area with a list? pistons & rods, Weisco pistons, Carrillo Pistons and rods or Eagle rods? ARP if they make them? Maybe check into head studs etc as well. Injectors at least 800cc probably 1000 I'd say, RC Engineering does good ones. Bearings, Clevite (spelling?) do the ones for NASCAR so they're good. Or there's good ol' ACL as well.
