'02 widening job
Hello & welcome, I've never seen a wide body or extended fenered'd foz so wouldn't know where to start, you could probably go up to 9" rims but again I wouldn't have a clue on the offset, standard is48 so I thing you'd have to go further out if you went wider wheels. Are you looking at something like this ? Or a whole kit inc skirts bumpers etc ? Either way keep us posted on your progress as would be interesting to see how you get along and may help others in the future [emoji3]

2001 s-turbo upgrade
In theory you should go for a map but form other foz members I know who have gone up to an 04 for the tf03 with no problems, but a map would give you more torque horsepower and better mpg

New Subaru Forester Owner! I have some questions -)
Sorry mate for some reason never got the notifications, The wheels may fit although you'd have to check the clearence on the discs, As for the plugs you need to connect green to green and black to black, for diagnostic it's just one set can't remember but think it's black the check engine light will 'blink' out the codes if any, No idea about the gearbox though, Unless the garage your visiting has a subaru select monitor they won't be able to read any of the ecu

Newbie from Bromborough
Hello & welcome, not entirely sure on the fluid as they used to allow a dexron 3 type fluid it was all made under licence from GM, they withdrew the license a while back so subaru started using their own spec, I believe it's it's the same but in any doubt I'd contact your local dealer or contact opie oils www.opieoils.co.uk as they know their stuff

Hi All! First Impreza
Hello &welcome, I like the nothing major bit only new exhaust map etc ☺ We all know that's how it starts, and it's a very steep and slippery slope from there on [emoji38]
-
switchable maps ?
Me ! Never used the 2nd map though as it's my 'low boost emergency **** fuel' map however I have an abundance of shell garages up here
-
Drivetrain Slack, what to check?
Yep none ! Dunno if this is because the old ones were shot the engine would wobble from left to right when revved, or I can't hear feel any extra due to the exhaust, But the braking feel has also increased with the lack of fore / aft movement too

Will wheels fit?
As long as the stud pattern is the same, they changed it on later models of impreza then you should be fine as the offset is identical

Outback 2.5 se 20 mpg @ 60 mph and swings with cruise control
Hello, sorry to here about your problems. I have no experience with lpg so wouldn't be able to even stat with trying to diagnose a fault if it was that side of the system, have you tried doing a ecu reset with the diagnostics tools or even unplugging the battery for half an hour will revert everything back to factory, Then drive for a couple of day see if the cel comes back, it should still log it and return an error code if it happens again,

Drivetrain Slack, what to check?
Engine mounts are a good start, finally got round to changing mine to group n ones, when lifting off I used to feel a sharp jolt, specially at higher speeds, now gone much smoother on acceleration and deceleration

Various parts to lower my SF Forester
Or just buy some coilovers, mines lowered by 2" so not stupidly low and still retains enough clearence for speed bumps etc, depends how low you wanna go or what 'look ' your after. The transmission mount is the same along with all control arms etc so I can't really see what benefit swapping those out would have, the rear arb mounts are about an inch lower on the impreza, I've been told there is a subframe spacer on the foz which isn't on the impreza too

Bit o' smoke
Hello & welcome, 1st off what colour is the smoke ? And has it been remapped ? If it's been mapped then it will more than likely be a excess fuel specially if there's no cats in place, If it's blue it more than likely to be the turbo oil seals weeping, As for the 300bhp goal the stock wrx turbo will run out of puff around 270. so td05 or equivalent vf trubo sports cat or de catted exhaust system, uprated fuel pump and a remap will be able to hit around 320bhp. Fon't expect much change from 1000-1500

my foz
Aftwr driving the 30 odd miles home I wished i'd done it as one of the 1st mods, even the cold start up 'slap' has quietened down significantly. Got them for a ton delivered price had gone up a fiver over the last couple of weeks for some reason ? Rcm have them for 94 but by the time you've added delivery it's much the same. I think of you've a stock system on then the engine would be a but louder but I doubt you'd even notice [emoji38] Sounds a little deeper on idle though which is nice
