It must have been a long time ago that your engine looked like that :-D Thanks for that you are a valuable source of knowledge fella So if I get a v3 intercooler pipe set it should fit. Whats missing from the right of the alternator ? Aircon unit?

Car insurance joys and questions
Direct line won't even touch you if it's an import or modded so it's all balls ! I know of people who had mk3 mx5's theres a factory option lowering spring set from eibach which if you got installed at time of purchase no problems insuring. If you were buying used and wanted to get lowering kit from your dealer the insurer wouldn't have it and couldn't get cover. As bitman says they are all as bad as each other

Car insurance joys and questions
Just renewed mine today with mark richards, a rather reasonable 579 fully comp with exhaust declared :-) Surely if you cancelled half way through you'd only pay a month extra admin fee. Most of the big insurers don't like many mods as they assume you an idiot and will kill everything and your self because you have a million horsepower and you've changed from oem spec so the car is not as intended etc. The brokers and specialists tend to know their stuff and understand that it's your pride and joy and a lot of time and money has gone into it so you'll do everything in your powers to keep it looking good and in tip top condition.

Trying to find out what version engine my foz has in it. Need to replace some hoses that are on there last legs. With various peoples help (cheers sav) I thought I'd narrowed it down but looking at james' edm 2000 foz it would appear not. Since found out that the euro foz had a different engine config untill my01. Most noticeably coil pack on the side and a bov located on the ic. I'll pop one of mine up in a bit cheers My coil sits straight on top of the inlet and I'm led to believe the bov is somewhere down the pipework to the right being a recirc type, initially I thought mine is a v3/4 but now I'm thinking maybe 4/5 ? All I know is that it uses the same engine as some gc wrx's So if anyone post a pic of there stock ish engine bay with tmic I can start to narrow it down

uk Forester S turbo mods
Hi mate , theres a list in the for sale section I think, but I usually find myself just googling and looking at stuff from overseas as the uk doesn't really have much in the way of styling for the foz, Just about every impreza part I've bought has fitted, What are your aims ? [emoji3] I keep toying with the idea of bigger rims lowering etc the list goes on ! Sent from my SM-T210

Seats - any recommendations?
I've a pair of forester seats sat in my basement. Wider and more of a normal seating position. They sit about an inch higher than impreza seats. Not sure about the fit in a new age though

Should be mate, just not got round to ordering it from subaru yet. I was gonna get the internal rubber bit too save messing around and just replace it

Oh and don't undo the bit on the top without marking the screw locations. You shouldn't have to remove it to be fair but if you do mark it 1st other wise your idle will be all over.

Depends which version you have, some are on top of the inlet next to throttle body and others are on the right but on the back side of the inlet manifold, like this In either case get new gaskets before you do anything. And if it's the latter of the two try and get hold of the diaphragm that goes inside. Google subaru idle air control cleaning. Will give you both walk through guides.

Tommi Makinen in the new STI
Shares that same head light design and the way the front bumper meets bonnet almost identical to evo. Still I like. not to sure on the rear wing (never thought I'd say it) read somewhere it adds nearly 10kg to the rear end May look better with a lower one :O Shame he wasn't giving it the beans round a gravel stage
