There's a min line about 2inch from the bottom of the tank so just fill to where the neck opens up a bit.

When was the map done ? chances are it's running a little rich on start up shouldn't be anything to worry about, white when warm = bad. blue anytime =bad

Pointers/anything I've missed
Haha, no I was poking around underneath last week and couldn't see owt, that's when we looked at everything, d bushes (new) pads, although we couldn't replicate it on the lift, stupidly I didn't have my calipers to hand to measure the steering rack bush as there's two sizes and you know if I just order I'll get the wrong one

Literally it's not even on a quarter turn and it does it the other times nothing on various lock for a week

Yours is probably the rear struts, common issue on your sti mate. I'm just stumped as to what it is can't be much left to renew

Blob double to single din fitting guide?
There is somewhere I'll have a dig around, if you've got the pocket and the single din should be easy enough, have you got the single din cage ? I'd fit the pocket at the bottom 1st then stereo on top

Loss of power
Hello welcome, have you done an ecu self code check ? Easiest way on yours is to get a cheap odb scanner off eBay and an app for your phone, least that way when it does it you can interrogate the ecu immediately. Could be something as simple as cleaning out the idle control valve or checking the spark plug leads, did any of the garages perform any diagnostics ? You could be suffering from fuel starvation, may be worth checking the fuel pump voltages too

suspension knocking?
Oof ! I picked mine up from savage so got them at a decent price, maybe have a look on the bay, the silver set from ipc look a bit more robust than the subaru ones, ah well the d bushes should last a couple of years before the wear. What is your model code ? I'll dig around

what is 0 60mph
Got to take into amount of people in car and how much fuel,between 5-6seconds is still rapid. How about we get an unoffical test on haha

suspension knocking?
Go uprated ones mate, the standard ones are rubbish and will need replacing again in the not to distant future. How hard do you want the ride ? Polly bushes are good and a one time replacement but they don't absorb the bumps as well as standard rubber whitline/superpro ones are about fifteen quid for the dbush

Temp gauge probs
May be worth opening that one and topping off and putting the cap on the rad as the bubbles will come out of the highest point (header tank)

Temp gauge probs
Yes rad/header same difference, with the cap off it won't build pressure so it won't go everywhere
