Anyone used impreza Prodrive WRX suspension on a Forester?
You'll have to check out what spring rates are on the rear our you'll end up with a saggy !Removed! again due to the foz weighing more than the wrx. Some people fit 2" spacers inbetween the tops and chassis, not sure how that works though There's loads of info over on forester.org about what parts are direct fits and how to cure the sag with wrx parts. Pedders do a lowering kits specific to the foz. Depends on how low you wanna go !

New member intro
Nice ! Matt's been looking at bringing a car in himself, what kind of ball park figure was the import cost, If you don't mind me asking? Mine was done By the previous owner/importer looks like the feed was taken from the steering wheel then run along the floor and to the light cluster, I'll have a look at dinner

Piston slap ?
Hi mate, mine slaps like it's going to jump out the engine bay. But mines a my97 with 130k on and the 97 cars have the worst reputation for doing it, the piston skirt design was changed after. Car uses no oil at all and I've put full & semi synthetic in over the last couple of years, At 42k I wouldn't expect yours to slap too much. What oil are you using & any mods done have you had the belts changed yet ? Could be the belt tensioner if you look on YouTube there's vids showing it makes a knocking noise when worn

Big Hello
Hehe I don't Co ordinate much as everyone left my area ! There's a company somewhere down south that does a proper job, they take your car for a couple of days steam clean the underside dry and apply etc. It's not cheap about 500 ! But it lasts and is a worthwhile investment, whoever did mine did such a good job that the 1st time my mechanic looked under it he commented on how well it's held up and looks rust free. I had mine mapped as it was over fueling due to running on lower octane, i'm now getting alot more mpg 40 quid got me 250 miles this weekend of hard driving, before map it would have got halft the mileage , also slight increase in power and lots more torque.

Lower strut Bolts?
Yep that's the ones I thought you were on about. They should be easy enough to get hold of, deffo make a paint mark on them and the leg then at least you'll know they are back there and there abouts,

Lower strut Bolts?
I take it you mean the two smallish ones that attach the strut to the hub ? The ones the front are cambered, not sure about the rears, but you need to mark the position of them before removing. Chances are if you buy them you won't use them and if you don't you know they'll shear off ! Just soak them in plenty of wd or similar for a few days should be reet !

Boost controller advice
Wow 2 bar ! You not even getting any fuel cut from the ecu ? Any idea who mapped it in the 1st place ? I'd look at getting it on the rollers and a possible tweak to the map as boost controllers need to be mapped in anyway for them to be efficient. Has the car had any internal engine mods ?

Try import car parts they should have or be able to get or point you in the right direction

Unequal headers fitted
No he left about half six

Big Hello
Check it's been under sealed if it hasn't get it done before winter as it will greatly increase the life of the car. Vpower or tesco momentum/sainsbury s super is only way to go. Running on low octane will increase the risk of detonation. May be worth looking at getting it mapped for UK fuels
-
Unequal headers fitted
Dave left to start up on his own so he didn't leave on good terms, Harry is new tec with Martin, good lad full of banter too. Remapping isn't as essential on n/a cars as the lambda sensor sound alter the trim and there's no turbo spooling issues etc May actually loose some performance due to less back pressure in the system with decat n/a cars
-
Unequal headers fitted
Just Martin, dave is no longer ! Post a pic up gem be interesting to see how they look compared to the turbo headers

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Haha yeah been following some old duffer doing 40 single lane for about 10 miles in Nat limit, came to roundabout knew he was in wrong lane on exit hoofed it 4k hit 1.2bar then nothing then back on, cars only mapped to 1.1 Wasn't too bad as there was no one else around and as soon as it happend I knew what was going on, no dash warning lights so knew it couldn't be that bad [emoji51]
