02 sensor again
The one thats in the csr is exactly the same part number and length of harness. I thought it was an after market part but searching around it seems that the older cars use bosch. It's also saying that bosch make parts for denso. The generic ones don't appear to have holes so i'm not bothered. It was mor the fact that the company i bought it from had re bagged it. Just got to find a crows foot to fit now. Or lambda socket

02 sensor again
Decided to bite the bullet and replace my sensor. After hunting around and phoning subaru i bought one off the web it claims to be a genuine part but from what i've read it should be a denso. Whats turned up is bosch. Slightly confused as googling the sensor brings up ones for about sixty quid. Only the end is different has a load of holes in where as the ones on web dont Feel slightly duped but have no idea

Forester exhaust
Ebay had a couple last time i looked. Not sure what the differences are with your model but on the sf the hangers and length of the pipe are different. You can make the impreza ones fit but requires some welding

Manual gearbox oil.
going from memory it depends on what your using it for the LS is limited slip diff oil specific, so just go with the normal stuff for the gearbox, i'd double check 1st though but i'm pretty sure, could try opie oils, he's on here for more advice and to see if he can get the shell stuff for you

Like you say if the previous owner has done everything irrelivant of cost should be nothing to worry about. I was getting confused with the service schedual sorry, :O i have an older car anyway so could be different

Whoop ! Glad you like it. When was the last mayor service done ? Should have been includes in that. I'd have a look see what condition the belt has done as they are supposed to be done every 40k i think. Mine has the same amount of mileage and i was told the belt had at least 20k left on it but with no record i wasn't going to chance it. When it came off the idler and pulleys looked ok as was genuine subaru belt. It's an expensive job but for piece of mind i'd get it checked

Saggy Rear End
I changed my mk1 for the foz no matter how much i tried to convince the misses i wasn't allowed to stick the baby in the boot. Was gutted but i love the foz as it's discreet and fast. Not half as much fun but a lot safer in the wet. How does the rcz drive read good reviews of them but never come across anyone who has one

Drop links changed
I polly bushed the links and arb's on my mazda hardest thing was getting underneath to reach them on that. I love the way it's so easy to do work on the underside of the foz. I bought a cheap torque rench from manchine mart they do come in usefull. Keep mime in the car, doubles up for taking wheels off as i didnt have a brace

can you clean the o2 sensor ?
From time to time mine throws up a random cel light. Can't work out why at the mo. If it's possible i'd like to try and clean the sensor and see what happens Did a basic maf unplug test and it stalled straight away (know it's not scientific shows its working at some capacity)

Saggy Rear End
Where did you get the kyb's ? Had adjustable ones on my old car ant thought they were superb. Link would be useful for future reference :-)

Drop links changed
Fair enough.. what torque values did you tighten everythong back up to. I'm gonna take a look at mine in the next week or so. They seem to be a weak point been looking back through the m.o.t advsiories and the n/s has been flagged up every other year for excessive wear. They were fairly new when i got the car but i'm just keeping an eye on them.

Drop links changed
Plus gas always does the trick. Did you just replace them with stock items or some nice shiney upgrades ?

random cel light
Right been having a play around with car an i'm pretty sure its the o2 sensor. Devided to do a basic unplug test on the maf and the car stalled instantly so i'm geussing that it looks about right ? Run diagnostic again and it's coming up with 23 and 32 so i assume thats cos i unplugged the maf while running Off to get an o2 sensor now. Would help if i can find some ome who doesn't want my vin number to order a part as for some reason ut's nown as a gl

Saggy Rear End
Some one on here was selling some self leveling foz shocks a while back. Can't remember if it was front or rear or a pair. Doesn't help matters really

gauging interest
If i wasn't driving a family wagon i'd have had two but i didn't want to look like a complete bell end with them cluttering up the dash. One for me does the job and sits quite discreetly out the way plus the misses doesn't know how much they cost so one has to be easier to explain. Toying with the idea of moving it onto the steering cowl but unsure

gauging interest
I got a oil pressure/boost gaugw from depo racing and a pod from ets. Didn't want loads of gauges everywhere so plumped for that it's a led one found it slightly easier to read at a glance Showing dual oil pressure read Oil pressure round outside boost in middle
