  1. Nice to see original copies of the auction sheet for a change, did your brother get it imported ?
  2. Here's my contribution to knobbish driving this week, Bearing in mind it's on a 20 zone with two schools at the bottom of the street let alone the zebra crossing and cross roads.camera has issues focusing at night which is a shame. And new pitch stop is causing a bit more shake
  3. Don't get me started, we've employed a contractor to help me buld out a load of new rooms, I two days I've managed to build and rack 2000sq foot. He's managed to just about build the racking and he's just told me that he wont be finished and has no intention of putting all the shelves on ? ? What are we paying you for grrrr
  4. Self employed people complaining that they have so much work on then standing around gassing to the sparks onsite so no one's doing any fecking work ! Get a move on stop complaining that your busy, busy good = money !
  5. I think that's about it till the new year, I gets !Removed! freezing there & theres only so many people that can squeeze round the kettle, ash is regional coordinator for sheff, but I've not seen him since santa pod in sept. Ash, mfnick, gambit, boozydave & myself all use them for stuff, Martin & dave know their onions. Just take some biscuits to sweeten the deal [emoji51]
  6. Mmmm lots of shiny goodness there mate [emoji2]
  7. Not a stupid question mate, we're all friendly and down to earth here, at the end of the day were all learning all the time so feel free to ask away, thats the best thing about this forum no one proclaims to be better than anyone else because they have had a subaru for x amount longer than other people. Anyway sls is the self leveling suspension unit on the rear of the forester, if you have a look underneath atvthe lower rear struts there should be something the size of a red bull can atached to it,
  8. If I looks like a dog dragging it's bum along the floor when stationary it's seen better days. Sls units cost an arm and a leg most people swap them out for normal shocks and springs
  9. Ah well good for at least another 100k [emoji51] rear shocks can be a bit troublesome if they are the sls units apart from that I've found them to be bulletproof
  10. Hi mate welcome, Theres a local meet, the 2nd moday of every month down at shefdield subaru service, it's wound down for winter at the mo but always a good turn out when the weather gets better. Also if you need any advice or work doing they come highly recommend and a load of us here travel from all over to get work done
  11. Hello welcome, right bargain there how many miles on the clock ? Have a look on ebay as there have been a couple being broken recently. There are also a couple of subaru breakers I'll dig out a link dor you

    Spotted

    My mate had one when we were at school he was the **** ! 1.4 SR god knows how he got insured on it, managed to have a prang in it so went away to bodyshop, fixed it,parked outside said bodyshop a weekend of gales blew a chimney stack off the adjacent building and wrote it off too funny looking back but he was distraught at the time
  13. Is that just for ecu or does it include the handheld monitor thing ? You'll have to lift the carpet up in passenger footwell and undo the kick plate to find out what ecu pin configuration you have
  14. I hate to say it but sounds a bit like a big end problem, does it do it at any other time ?
  15. Normally best way is to fit everything in the day of mapping then you shouldn't cause any problems, it's six of one and half dozen of the other though i've seen people with decats and no maps running fine. If you changed the air filter and decat ghats when you get more problems, they can cope with one or the other but not both, I'm in same boat as you really was quoted 650 for a board and map by the late jgm but other things have got in the way, You'll need to factor in another hundred quid for a fuel pump on top
  16. Savage is your man to speak to regarding the various options as he has used both esl and the apexi setups, Els boards cost about 300 new and are essentially another board inserted into the ecu to be able to map the classic impreza legacy & foz but it retains all the factory stuff as well, if you speak to esl or maybe duncan at race dynamix or andy forest they will be able to advise you on best plan of action, I was told not to drive hard on a decat with no map but i want for the sports cat route instead
  17. You need an esl board added to the ecu for it to be mapped or a standalone ecu like apexi or mines, decatted it will possibly have overboost or spiking problems, do you have a boost gauge fitted?
  18. Need a v3 pipe, that one's slightly different I think
  19. Literally just put a little pressure on the manifold eased it back a mm or two and the bolt slotted in. I guess cos the rest of the mounts are worn therewas excess play there
  20. Oof I feel your pain, I've a pass today so off to watch the gp in peace [emoji2] summer running I use 10-40 semi synth and winter I've just put fully synth in ut to quieten the engine down. From to of dip stick to bottom mark is roughly a litre how much milage do you do ?
  21. Having to make some more up as out of stock, I'm after a kit and a I/c to recirc valve hose too. The guys at sfs have been on holiday so a bit of a delay. They reckon all being well the week after next. I wanted to do it all at once but got bored waiting. Same with turbo blanket, sais In stock on website so I ordered one only to have an emal come back saying they are due in next week. Still it has to go under the tree any way. Did you have any issues with the pitch stop when you installed it ? Mines a couple mm shorter than the stock One so we had to ease the motor back before the lower bolt would slot home. No biggie though
  22. Hello welcome, Dont worry we're not all that bad although gambit can be depending on what stage the moon is at, feel free to join in and get some pictures up !
  23. Hello welcome feel free to get stuck in, we're one of the more laid back forums and aim to have a friendly atmosphere and a great community,
  24. Sailed through M.o.t just an advisory on droplink again ! Looking back thorough the mot history appears to come up every 2 years. So picked up some super pro droplinks from savage for a fair price, got fed up not doing owt so fitted pitch stop yesterday Still waiting for y pipe should be here start of next month, and im not allowd my turbo blanket till christmas [emoji20] so theres a few more bits on the shopping list to come rear droplinks just trying to find an uprated arb for the rear too
  25. Whoop great news mate glad everything was worth the effort and put a smile back on your face [emoji106]
