Ah ok, prices seem to vary wildly i nearly fell over when i contacted my local subaru garage. So shopping around i got everything including fitting for the price some people wanted for the parts

It's the pulleys and idlers that cost the most. Belt its self isn't that expensive ! Is that a subaru dealer ?

Fast And The Furious Paul Walker Dead R.I.P
Sad news indeed but looking at that pic you have to think that i could have been avoided. Don't want to speculate on grim things but a case of to much speed in a built up area. The car must have been traveling with some force for it to be wrapped round the post. Needless loss

brake master cylinder stoppers
Cheers for that looks like fairly sturdy build quality. I can't be bothered with matching colours as you can see didn't think about the clash when i bought the brace :-D

brake master cylinder stoppers
Bip, what did the change do mechanically ? More brake pressure & force is it a bigger unit or just better quality ? At the mo i'm just looking for little bits and bobs i can buy here and there to improve things. Nothing too major and i've no intention of tracking the car and i'm banned from 'spirited' driving by the misses :'(

Ordered the tegiwa one should be here mon or tuesday. Have a few days off so i'll fit it and get some pics on weds/thurs It looked exactly the same as the cdf stopper so couldn't see the point in spending more than i need to.

spark plugs
Been reading that if you remove air box from n/s and washer bottle from o/s you can just about reach them with a small drive socket. Mechanic i use does loosen the mounts and lifts either side to reach, i've been told you can change the rocker gaskets this way too leving the motor in.

brake master cylinder stoppers
Rigt then ordering ! Forgot i'd attached the brace after i took that pic. And i've prob cursed myself saying should be a doddle haha ! Any preference in make ? I was gonna go for the tegiwa on as it's at least 30 quid cheaper than yhe cdf and a whole 60 cheaper than the cusco ones. Are you just paying for brand name here ? Adam as the thread's been deleted do you fancy pm'ing me how much you wanted for the front seats ? I take itvthey were the buckets ?

brake master cylinder stoppers
i seem to have a load more space around my cylinder and not much else attached to the fire wall. So should be a doddle to fit. Been searching for write ups and a few of the us forums say the are good mod for the classics.may just take the plunge do a write up/review for our forum

Does anyone have this fitted and does it actually provide day to day real world benifits ? I've read that the subaru bulkhead isn't the strongest but it takes a lot of force to distort a bit of metal, maybe it would eliminate a little movement ? I can see under track conditions and hard driving it would be of use but am wondering if it would just be a placebo. I know braided lines would make mores sense but i don't really have the time at the mo to upgrade. Should i take a punt at a 35 quid part or save my money for other things ?

Reading 'Check Engine' codes on a 1999 Forester
I'd say cats. Thats whats happened to mine. Threw up a 02 sensor code while hammering up the m1 the other week cleared it and reset ecu now fine (touch wood) . My emissions were out for the m.o.t but managed to sort a solution just saving money for new cat & exhaust.

front o2 sensor
Trouble is he went of the vin number. Dont know weather it's due to being a gl model on some data bases. Anyway after much deliberation are we saying this is number one o2 and the smallee one behind cat number 2 is no 2 ? I have a cat in the down pipe and one in the mid section. Sounds right ?

front o2 sensor

front o2 sensor
Rigt just tried the classic ecu reset procedure. Plugged leads in depressed acc and then let out half way released after a couple seconds. Check engine light never stayed on and after about 30 seconds driving just gave a continious short on off blink. I take it this is reset ? Got home plugged in and ut just does the contious on off quick blink. Does ghis mean it's clear as the page i was reading states conflicting info
