stants

Well she's had new shocks & springs, new exhaust, esl& remap and two new wheels, bearings, plus tyres and various other whitleine little bits here and there. Since I've been owner. Realistically I wouldn't he more that 1500 back on a good day. The spec d 'm looking at is bog standard so it's going to require a bit of cash spending on her exhaust & map, the belts have been done recently which is a bonus,

Maybe it's my paranoia but my engine isn't sounding the best at the mo and fueled by other people's hmming and arrrghing it's getting to me at the point where the misses is ready to slap me, as she can tell it's playing on my mind. Man maths done but it's not really stacking up with her [emoji26] the car owes me roughly 3k. The shell is rust free but suffering from a general scuffs and scrapes after 18 years been quoted 2.3k for a rebuild if I pull the engine myself closer to 3k if I take the car, nothing fancy arp studs, acl mains, revised pistons from later model to cure the slap, sti gaskets etc. So do I try and convince her indoors to let me go ahead and rebuild, Run it till the engines gives up, then break it, or cut my losses and look for something else ? There's a 55 spec d wrx. full service history, (kt green subaru) one owner car near me, that Is around 5k Help !

Tripod ? Haha

Good pics there mate !

It's a pain specially when you unlock the car put some stuff in boot then have to press the fob again to start everything up.

You running vpower or standard super market petrol ?

My local dealer told me just to use a non silicate nitrate & phosphate free coolant, preferably get one that is o.a.t organic from your local motor factors

Don't think so it's an eu requirement for an alarm to immobilise after 30 seconds if it doesn't detect any ignition activity

Have you checked the plugs recently? The rears can be a pain to change so sometimes get left

You still looking at importing or have you gone in a different direction ?

What your asking for it is cheap as chips matt. Should have no problems moving it on, put it up on the bay yet?

Evoscan up and running, it's very buggy and crashes a fair bit, managing to pull some data My97 jdm forester ecu rom id appears to be A30113. Still trying to find yours rick

Just don't use a silicate based antifreeze as they eat the impeller blades

Thermostat located at the block end of the bottom rad hose, you'll see it straight away. Easiest way to test is take it out og the housing boil the kettle and lob it in a bucket of hot water, it should open up. If nit it's fooked

Not sure mate, depends how comfortable you want the car to be, carpets and other soft furnishings weigh quite alot. Obviously no good of you've a family or it's your daily driver

Managed to get the evoscan logging software working. Went to get a parking ticket as out for a meal after work. Machine gave me 18 quid change plus my ticket for a quid ! !

Crank sensor maybe ?

Strip the weight , better pads & discs polls bush everything and uprate droplinks & possibly arbs

No worries mate, Really good turn out for 1st one of the year. Ash has a load of pics so when he gets his finger out,

Misses has just bought me a go pro hero3+ as a surprise, hopefully will arrive before Sundays jaunt Apart from that off to Sheffield again for 1st proper meet of the year

Best off finding out who mapped it in the 1st place, then speaking to them, the ecu could be locked do only original tuner can access, Not heard of quantum but not to say they don't know what their doing

Could be an airlock, i'd let it cool and try again tomorrow. May pull some coolant back and give you an indication of how much is in the system

Just a thougjt, Maybe you won't have the black ones as it's odb2. The Green ones only put it into test mode and cycle through fans relays etc

Hmm ? I'm not to clued up on newage cars so I'll leave it to Mr b to help you on this one Should look like this, if both pairs are present
