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

Td05 water pipes...
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

What's the skull for ? Haha Maybe the other boost gauges start at different readings so depending on who's driving, ooh look I'm boosting at 2 bar lol.

Silicon hoses
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

Paint damage
Contact somone like chips away, if your after a quick turn around, just done a bumper scuff 12" long and some car park dings on my old man's focus for £140 all Inc good colour match too being metallic, I'd say you'd get that done for under a ton

Best air filter for a Hawkeye WRX.
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

Airbox off already ! Dunno about the green stuff, looks a bit more waxy than coolant staining ?

some help please,boost cut and low boost :)
Could be, can you bypass the controller and plumb it back in correctly ? Looking at this http://www.enduringsolutions.com/ECUGuide.pdf there's every possibility that yours originally have a v5 ecu, with all the other mods yours has it must have been running some other engine management
