impreza variant?
How often do you go off road ? Mine is pretty much road based as I go off road maybe a week a year in total, by which I mean driving round farmers fields and the occasional snow, it copes with all of this no problems on the standard suspension

You need to undo the 4 or 5 bolts on the downpipe which is a challenge in it's self. If you've already done the up pipe bolts it should just come away

Changing brake fluids
Cap states dot3 which has been replaced with dot4, i'm guessing that's what's in there now, will I have any problems just replacing with dot 4 or even dot 5.1 ? Or do I need to flush out with anything 1st, last thing I want to do is rot the insides of my system

Forester Cross Sports 2.0T Auto
Weird jdm business ! I'd assume it's going to be in the region of a manual xt/ auto wrx The Tiptonic box makes it quicker than the normal auto,

2001 wrx upgrade
Make sure it's silicate, phosphate &aminate free, 90% of coolants are these days but etheleyne glycol stuff contains silicates which eat the water pump impellor , vest bet is getting a longlife O.A.T coolant, most motor factors sell it and Just do a 50/50 mix.

Haha ok well of you've not hunted this info the cs has a Tiptonic gearbox slightly lowered suspension and leather plus body kit over the xt so that reads as not as quick as the sti or as harsh ride and maybe more luxurious interior, Did you cone across the one that appears to be on Gumtree, the bay and trader, white or silver with privacy glass on a brick forecourt ? Good thing about imports is you don't pay stupid tax brackets so may be worth having a peruse some of the later 05 models that will be available for import

impreza variant?
They should do however the backbox will need the hangers repositioning and i've been told it needs lengthening by a couple of inches as the way it sits round the diff is different
-

I'd reckon it's around the same as the xt over here so maybe 230bhp ish ? I'll have a look there's a couple on the bay & trader at the moment

impreza variant?
You're right [emoji51] It's still the 1st gen foz which is pretty much a 'classic ' shape impreza. So brakes and other things are straight swaps, struts and bits like that are almost the same, spring rates are different due to a little extra weight carried by the foz, and top mounts differ, the fronts are the same as classic impreza but the rears are the same as new age cars, Engine is pretty much the same too, just check what version you have, mines a 97 foz which is a ver 3/4 impreza engine roughly speaking

Remove the intercooler, it's only that jubilee clip and the two 12 or 14mm bolts on the sides of the i/c will give you loads of access

Viper performance based in the west midlands are good, half the price of Samco and hold loads in stock so your not having to wait for them to be made

The pic with the skull ?? In it is a sender unit for oil pressure at a guess, could be oil temp though, Is that an oil catch can located at the top of the bay with the yellow sticker? Injectors look like 380cc ones although don't hold me to it

I've put a cosworth one in this time for the sake of 20 quid more at service time I thought it was more preferable than washing out a k&n
