Whiteline anti roll bushes
Anyone had any experience with these ? Went to fit mine today and they are massive in comparison to oem do you have to use the whiteline mounts or am I missing something? These are apparently the correct ones for my year ?

what air intake is this?
I'm guessing oil catch can, may be worth having a look make sure it doesn't need to be emptied

Oil changing... When exactly?
The service manual says different things according to where you are and how you drive, If I remember, the manual says, if you live in hot dusty countries a change every 3.5k is necessary again with hard driving, I think you'll be ok unless you want to put a different grade of oil to cope with the different temps, I know most of Spain is cold at this time of year. I do about 8k a year and do two changes, jap cars love fresh oil anyway. Can't hurt

Help with changing timing belt! :(
Yes and no in a word, you can adjust the tensioner but if you move it too far and cause it to put too much pressure on the belt then bad things may happen

License plate fitting
Just had a look it it, all you need is a bit of ally tube somone who can tap you a thread on then something the size of number plate to attach onto. Even more Ghetto solution, get a spare towing eye paint find something you can use to affix plate to and onto eye a flat peice of 15mm mild steel would do about a foot long put a 90 degree bend on it at the bottom bolt through eyelet and attach plate

Why not make one ? I'll have a look at the perrin one see what the crack is, I take it this is for the front ?

Bored at work... Looking at mods... :D
There's a diy how to floating round on the Web to gut the innards from the up pipe to save some cash instead of buying a new one, looks like that sports cat will be too long to keep the 2nd downstream cat. I think with a map you should be able to get under the emissions with just the sports cat. Yours has a load of sensors post cats which would need the map to allow you to remove the 2nd cat and not throw an eml. I'd wait for some new age owners to come along and chip in as my knowledge is limited to classics

Fair enough, If it's the same diameter as your centre pipe it should be fine, that will take out both cats behind the turbo I guess, word of warning I've got a sports cat and mine still failed the emissions, maybe because it's not mapped but it was only a couple of percent over the threshold. Think your car has a pre cat in the up pipe which is quite restrictive. That would free up some power if you removed that plus if you were to run higher boost it wouldn't disintegrate and take the turbo out on the way.

You'd probably need a fuel pump what ever your goals are as it's a bit of extra insurance. Warlbro pumps appear to have gone down hill a bit recently plenty of others around. Could always look at getting a fully decat system loads around on the bay. You would need a friendly m.o.t tester though. Not sure what yours would make with the stock cat set up. I've seen new foresters make an extra 20bhp with just a map and no supporting mods. Maybe worth emailing Andy with what your current set up and what goals you have in mind see what he comes back with

You can get newage sti scoops that have the same footprint as classics can't remember the company name I'll have a look, think they are based in Hyde

At a guess I'd say it's been removed to make way for a cold air feed, there's either a cone in the wing or a custom made box. It's Most efficient place for the filter to get nice air from. I can't see the maf housing anywhere I take it has been mapped out ?
