Hope so [emoji2]

Got a cottage in west burton till Friday. I love it up there it's only an hour away from me so I go up regularly either camping in summer or used to hire a cottage in winter up until a couple of years ago. Great driving roads I'll be going long way up through Grassington and over the top [emoji2]

Fuel pump in, new key fob arrived and my front arb bushes have finally been dispatched. Away in the dales for a couple of nights tomorrow so looking forward to a nice drive on some country roads

Fitted new pump today, greeted by an inch of dirt on the cover Obviously never been done horrible sock, Note the blue wire and extra earth running to a little black box ? Cue a couple of calls (thanks clive) Decision made to remove it all as had no idea what it was Nice shiny new one

Yes mate loads of difference, I changed mine in November. The droplinks make everything feel stiffer and a little more responsive. The pitch stop is slightly different as mine was 15 years old so I could feel an immediate improvement as the rubber in the middle had fallen apart. My engine wasn't as wobbly on start up and it's again stiffened bits up. Downside is sounds like the starter is in the passenger footwear now. Small trade off

Yes quite a few of us use them good service and if you can't see anything listed give them a bell they will have it or be able to get in quickly

To be fair David, I think they would have looked a little lost in your arches,I was debating on getting a set for the foz but they looked all wrong (and offset is wrong)

Plenty of time lol ! New fuel pump ? Did you not put a walbro in not long ago

Looking good mate, just out of interest did your mapper say anything about changing your boost soliniod from a 2port to a 3 port ?

As long as the flages match at either end you'll be ok, some taper for the flange, so it will be 2.5 at the downpipe join then go to a 3" section. If you've got a 2.5" backbox just get a 2.5" straight through section it will join at the cat peffectly

Golf is 4wd and the bm is rwd, the golf is a very capable car it I vw after all so You get the usual niceties and a dsg box, like Steve says the power delivery in the subaru is decidedly old fashioned compared to the golf, as an everyday car the golf is something you can get in and go fast at any point. The subaru is something you have to work to get the best out of the car and learn to enjoy, as it will feel a bit outdated compared to the golf. As for the bm it's not a full fat m car but from what I've seen is brilliant it just doesn't stir up excitement.

No discount unfortunately [emoji25] worth a try a blag some though we all use them so it would be nice If you manage it

Remeber it's only been here since 2007 so now been subject to loads of salt,

Ro be honest as long as you aren't chasing massive power a 'normal belt' should be fine, just get all the idlers and pulleys done at the same time

Well mine is 17 now so I'm quite happy that there's only that little amount. I do clean down and underseal & waxoil her every year. This last week has been horrendous, Done 100 miles and it looks like I've been to middle earth and back. What you had done at gr mate ?

I've a couple of tiny bits apprearing under the trim protector

At the size of your turbo ?or in desperation ?

Nice slippers lol !

Did you get the group n engine mounts too ?

Whoop great news mate. I was only going off another members post regarding their sport not having any, did seem a bit weird.

I was going to lock them but after seeing how little force it took to release them I figured it didn't really make much difference as if they were going ro shake loose they would have done by now. Mondays job is the fuel pump all being well so i'll inspect them while i'm at it. One side effect is that going into gear the engine has a little idle fluctuation now for some reason, fine in neutral though ? thought the clutch was slipping but after the 'in gear stall test' seems to be fine. Reset ecu this morning so I'll see how she is. Bit more nvh but nothing severe Engine mounts are next on the list. Along with some nice front discs and better pads, maybe some braided lines Then I can start thinking about mapping [emoji51]

Cheers mate, £106 from scooby parts I forgot to ask for o/c discount [emoji35] but free shipping at the mo so swings and roundabouts. Only problem I had was getting the rear crossmember bush to sit in properly, on bolt has gone in further on one side, by a couple mm. Even after dropping it out and reseating it wasn't playing ball so did it up and I'll have a look next week see if it has squashed into place. I was worried about the torque values given for retightening, something like 70nm for thethe front 35 for the gearbox and rear crossmember then 107 for the 19mm outer arms ? The 35nm values were ok but I would have sheared the bolts off the higher ones, so just did up to what it felt right then then another quarter turn All in great upgrade, feels like a new car don't have to give it a stir when going for reverse now [emoji51]

This will be going in when I've run the tank dry enough

Saw him at japshow ran something like 8.9sec 170mph quarter

Group n bits turned up today Found out today someone had stolen my jack from work Ghetto makeshift solution New mount in place Old ones looking a little haggard
