Police seizing cars with undeclared mods
Got pulled over in a hire van once they wanted to dip for red diesel. Thought no worries I'll be away in ten mins. Three hours later they were still holding me as I was driving on my company insurance and not the hire firms cover. Cue countless phone calls to hire firm our insurance company etc etc. They couldn't work out if I was insured or not so let me go, With a producer !

Engine upgrades - Strut bar and coloured pipes
Chinese hoses have a tendancy to suck flat under hard driving and what not due to the inferior construction of the hose walls, you want 3 ply at the bare minimum, 5ply is best. Might be worth giving viper a call as they are always expanding the range and may be interested in using you car as a test bed for new kit. I'm my opinion I'd stick with the standard air box and uprated drop in filter, like you say the standard box is good for 350. And driving in a lot of stop start traffic you'll end up with a load of heatsoak into the cone filter, Unless you did it properly and got one that removes it and the resonator and relocates they filter into the inner wing.

Clutch
Hi sorry to hear about the clutch problems, we had another member last week that thought his was slipping, garage advised him to do some full bore 3000rpm launches (when warm) to just clean the bits of rubbish collected on the flywheel. . As for the flywheel I shouldn't think it needs changing maybe skimming at the worst. Not sure about newage cars but the classics tend to need it when changing the clutch due to suffering from clutch judder. As for pricing I guess it depends on what kind of mark up they want to put on the kit etc.

Dump valve
You can get forge ones for the 3/4 recirc type that sit in the elbow on the left of the cooler don't think they make a sound though. Not entirely sure how you'd go about changing to a vta type on that engine

Forester 2005 stereo + speaker upgrade
Hi, I have no Idea about the head unit as mine's an older model, however the speakers in all subaru's are rubbish. An most of us have upgraded the factory speakers. This time I just went for a cheap setup from halfords some 6" for the front and 4.5" in the rear I left the tweeters alone but the need doing at some point.

Engine upgrades - Strut bar and coloured pipes
I've just ordered some from viper performance, based in Telford they normally make big batches so it brings the price down and 95% of the time they have stock. Samco are usually made to order so you can be waiting up to 8weeks [emoji35]

Dashcams, show us your view!
Have a look on the go pro site, they do that there, off the top of my head it's better frame rate removable battery better in low light and more megaphones. Plus you get more in the box
