Diy fuel pump change
Upselling I like your style ! What's the difference between my ic and the sti one, apart from the pipework ? I have a feeling if I were to buy them he'd sit gathering dust for ages before I got mapped. Any idea what my 380's will max out at ?

Diy fuel pump change
Stop it ! Plan is to do the pump, get a new gearbox mount then hopefully map. How much are you wanting for them ? [emoji51]

Diy fuel pump change
Right thinking of doing this myself, how hard can it be ? My main questions are do I have to drain the tank completely ? Along with disconnecting the battery should I pull the relays out ? Lift the rear bench out and then open inspection hatch remove old pump switch out reverse the process and prime ?

centre console lights
Hi, I don't know where to start, maybe a bad earth or one bulb giving a faulty voltage or something wrong with the switch ?

Subaru Leicester dealer clutch con?
I wasn't having a go either you just expect to pay top rate due to the technicians etc. I've not got a bad word to say about my local subaru,nothing but help even when I go in asking for that bolt that goes in the hole over there, and with it being an import most dealers don't want to know. One of the best main dealers I've delt with, having a 17 year old car that has no warranty I go to an in dependant subaru specialist who looks after a number of cars,

Subtle performance ideas needed.
Not entirely sure to be honest, all depends, what was yours as standard 220 bhp ? Think yours has Td04 turbo and 440cc injectors stock so theoretical figures up to about 270 before things start to run out of puff. Don't hold me to these I'm just giving ballpark max extractable figures from the turbo.

What would you do?
You will get a slight increase in noise etc if you went for the soild cusco mounts

What have you done to your Subaru today ?

Subtle performance ideas needed.
A few members have had problems with the walbro pumps seems that the quality has gone downhill in the Last couple of years,the roger clark motorsport ones have been recommended before along with scoobyworx pumps. The maff sensor doesn't get on with oiled filters like the k&n ones so maybe a dry drop in one may be better, there are loads of induction kits around but I'd stick with the standard air box if your not after big bhp gains, the heat generated in the engine bay is going to cancel out the benefits of a cone filter in my opinion, I've been told to either mod the intake side or the exhaust side but not both if you don't plan on getting a map straight away as it messes up the fueling too much, how true this is I don't know but I'm not planning on trying just incase, I ended up going sports cat and ss exhaust system as the previous one was rotting away, I haven't seen any over boost issues that may occur if you delete the cats without a map but I do know mine runs a little rich due to not being mapped yet, if yours is a My99 car onwards there's ecutek software and others available for you. Duncan from racedynamix comes highly recommended for mapping, I'm sure a few more members from down your way will be able to ad a few more names, So I'd go either exhaust or intake mods, fuel pump, then if you want to change the other bit you've not done, do it on the day of mapping then of it is running funny you won't cause too many issues

I'd say cat back exhaust panel filter uprated fuel pump and mapping be around a grand all in, where abouts are you ? Least you've the bigger brakes ticks one upgrade off the list

2x td04 turbos fully rebuilt
I like the way you get hardly any lag and it gives a linear boost on my car anyway, I'm finding a bit of oil in the turbo to ic pipe, I guess a little bit is normal ? I've no idea how long that turbos been on the car but it doesn't smoke or any weird noises and pulls hard. So if needs be I'll just replace it with the same

Hi mate, wouldn't like to say may be worth looking at breakers as main dealer prices will make you eyes water !

2x td04 turbos fully rebuilt
This is my problem,the engines on somewhere between 125-140k so don't want to get a new turbo or map then it let go. The misses wants some new !Removed! as the baby's been hanging off them for 6 months. That's my bartering tool anyway. Not looking for big power just a smoother and more responsive running car,maybe around 260ish ?

2x td04 turbos fully rebuilt

-
What would you do?
Still be close to the pass threshold with a sports cat, mine wasn't hot enough this time and failed. Que a quick rag down the motorway and back and re test [emoji16]

unequal exhaust??
Boofle gem on here may have I'm not sure and haven't seen her since sept, may be worth sending her a private message

Unequal headers will give you the boxer sound,weather it's worth the 360 that's up to you, personally I wouldn't but it's not my car

Squealing noise Help

Squealing noise Help
I'd check the brake disk shield, Mine scuffed loads when I turned right and made a racket, when it was on ramps you could spin the wheel and nothing, as soon as there was any load it would make a sound, i got a flat head screw driver and just prised the edge away from the disk no more noise, just been replaced by a squeal on the other side

Subaru Leicester dealer clutch con?
Obvious taking the **** ! Only time I use the dealer for is little bits that I can't get off the Web, has the car got any history of the clutch being changed ?maybe they looked up the history and thought they'd try their luck with the new owner ?
