  1. 2nd the rcm such a unit well packaged and a doddle to fit. Get a tank gasket just to be on the safe side
  2. 2.0 l stronger engine, early 2.5's suffered from some issues, probably uses a tiny bit less fuel. 2.5 more torque ,
  3. Whey ! Every cloud and all that least your back up running and smiling at the end of the day things always work out in the end [emoji3]
  4. You'd will be slightly different lay out wise but see if you have the pipe coming out there I teed into it and all is fine
  5. Have a look at your manifold, there should be at least two pipes on the right I'll post up a pic in a min
  6. Proper ball ache! Shaved the corner of the new mount so hopefully will fit now
  7. Not really as long as it's been cared for and serviced regularly
  8. Cos worth for me as I didn't go maf less. So wanted oil free, you'll have so much more noise from turbo when decatting anyway [emoji16]
  9. Ooooh it's tight new bracket is so close to fuel filler neck [emoji15] To make matters worse the other side will need some modification where the previous owners towbar mounts are, removed the righthand side, thought I'll do the same on the left, No joy as the exhaust hangers now slot into the towbar bracket, so I either remove back box hanger, cut to mount down then put all together or I shave a couple mm off the end of new mount. Think I'll go with plan b
  10. Agreed I'm looking for a set of xv wheels for mine although I refuse to pay top wack, trouble is with so few around there aren't any getting written off
  11. Went into work early to make a start on changing arb & mounts, realised fuel filler pipe in way gave up until this evening haha
  12. Hello sorry to here that grr makes my blood boil. From what I've read UK spec classic impreza electric mirrors fit. There's also a breaker www.japperformanceparts.co.uk they may have some available
  13. To be honest I'm not sure about garages in leeds I take mine to an independent subaru garage in Sheffield. There's a place in Bradford called Richard Henry motorsprt that is a subaru specialist also. May be worth posting in the general section for help and garage advice as more people generally tend to browse there
  14. Hello sorry to here your troubles, 400 to clean the sensor is a bit steep, a new one should cost that much in the 1st place, best trying to source parts outside the dealer network www.importcarparts.co.uk is good and fairly close to you. There seems to be a lot of differing info regarding the code, normally the downstream sensor located behind the cat is the culprit, Have a look here for a bit more info http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f66/po420-cel-code-catalyst-system-efficiency-below-threshold-26140/#/forumsite/20556/topics/26140
  15. Hello, welcome you have a few options really, rebuild the engine 2k ish buy a new short block around the same cost, or go the whole hog and swap out a new long motor, all depends on how much you want to do to it and what kind of power your after, the rest of it should be fairly straightforward
  16. These have just arrived [emoji16] Considering I wasn't expecting them until the end of march I'm a happy bunny
  17. Yeah it will be correct import car parts know their onions For reference this is what's in mine at the moment http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=184&products_id=3330
  18. What have you spied ?
  19. Hello sorry, there's not many foz owners around here let alone anyone with an sti. the forester is basically an impreza with a slightly higher ride and body. The sti sits lower than the normal foz so if your not too picky about ground clearance no worries. They tend not to have had the same abuse as some impreza have as they are a bit more under the radar. Early 2.5 engines had problems not sure about the sti ones you'd have to Google it. Are you looking at fresh imports or ones already here ? A bike wouldn't fit in without the seats down, maybe just if you remove the front wheel. The gtb would be a bit older and a lot tend to be auto's as for performance they both have around 280bho standard, the newer foz would be easer to tune as you'd be looking at a map and a few other supporting mods will easily see 330 and a load of torque.
  20. Gutted mate ! Hope it gets fixed ok, I've got a better one, My mates just pulled up to pump at asda petrol station, guy at pump in front finishes pays gets in his car sticks it in reverse and proceeds to drive half way up his bonnet, guy gets out and starts kicking off saying why have you drive into me, so they go in to view the cctv at this point the cashier is !Removed! himself. As the guy doesn't have a leg to stand on. He goes bright red and pulls out a wedge of notes. Pays my mate 250 bits and does one sharpish
  21. Looks about right, subaru did change the size of them a while back and there are differences between the blue and black filters. I know it's a blueprint part but Ipc won't sell you the wrong one. If I was you I'd pat a couple of quid extra and buy a genuine filter
  22. At the moment 1.15.9
  23. Just the govt being complete fools considering the most polluting vehicles on our roads are busses takes the ****. Just another way to do over the motorist. Trouble is all your sports high end sports cars don't get driven that much so in real world terms they don't pollute that much
