forester sti 2.5
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.

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

Oil Filter Help Plz?
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

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

Have you had a go at googling it? as it brings up a load of stuff on why it won't fill have a look at the charcoal canister under the rear bumper, the lines get clogged and either need unblocking or the canister needs replacing.

Couple of little mods...............for now
If you remove the lower panel to get better access at the footwell you can also wiggle the wires up the side of the top of the dash and push it back up towards the a pillar, with the gauge pod sitting a bit further out than the pillar it should sit behind it easily with no need to remove

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
To be fair I'm probably worrying over nothing, I always start the car and leave it for 5-10 mins while I lock up and turn everything off, and was crawling trough traffic for a further 5 mins at least

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
You got a sticker ! I got nowt the other week unless it's stuck on the ecu. Had a complete nightmare all day people being twats cutting me up in van and on way home in car. Red mist descended so I gave it some now I'm worried that I gave it too much while it wasn't warm enough ? On the plus side I've just had an email from a shipping company to say my 'car parts' have been shipped to work, trouble is I can't remember what 5he hell I've ordered

Directions in the hunt for random noise
Only really noticed a slightwhining noise recently as been getting used to the increased nvh from the new mounts and bushes, Only happens when turning right at speed, and appears to come from the rear ? it may have been there all along and I'm just hearing it now as I'm not using the load cover. Where do I start looking ?
