Debating weather to get tge car washed before tonight. The big black cloud approaching makes me think otherwise

Carrying it externally for a change :O ?

Wet fields & leather chaps never a good combo !

Yours the same location sav ? Not hsd chance to pull it apart this morning as a bit late in getting sorted. A rough measurement on outside diameter was 90mm at the maf end.

Ah well least it will be warmer than the last meet [emoji3] Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk

Many thanks I'll take mine off tomorrow and have a measure. The hose/pipe stuff I'm looking at is fairly solid, I can't recall seeing a vacuum take off before, I'll see if I can find a pic I took a while back, got told by somone on another forum some of the foz stuff matches up to v4/5 components, Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk

Thanks for that sav, just the flexi. Tempted to start replacing it all with silicone stuff as and when sfs do a couple so been looking is yours a 90mm ?

I'm just buying online so I don't want to end up with the wrong one. I don't know what version impreza mine corresponds to.i'm guessing 97/98 is ver 3/4 ?

Coning to squires tomorrow bosh or you down sarrrf again ?

How did you get on ? Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk

Hello welcome and we're all a friendly bunch on here so don't be worried about asking anything no matter how daft it may seem, Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk

Had to go to work today so saat there for 6 hours looking at all the nasty swirl marks dull paint, by the time I got home it started to rain so no wash/wax for me [emoji25] Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk

Hello, welcome as pommy says the more people we can get together the better. Where abouts in north yorks are you coming from ? Theres some of us meeting in leeds and some out in cas, your welcome to come down and we'll all go up or if it's easier we could meet closer to squires [emoji16] Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk

I think my airbox hose is on its way out, looking very brittle around the jubilee clips to the point where it's splitting. Done the soapy water test and it's inconclusive sometimes bubbles other times not, How do I find out what size mine is ? Do I measure the internal diameter,extrnal diameter or the end of the maf housing to get the size I'm guessing i's not gonna be 76 mm so tha narrows it down a bit

5 feet will be plenty, route it then chop back what you don't need. Nothing worse than coming up short. It will need to go from roughly manifold towards strut tower avoiding turbo, down the back of the firewall, and through, theres a rubber bung half way down, push a skewer through it, if you lift the mat out of the drivers side and look at the pedals the it should be poking through :-) then up the back of dash to pillar

Undo lines from the calipers ome at a time , pump pedal, obviously have a container to catch the fluid that comes out l. Then suck out anything thats left in the reservoir with a turkey baster or suction gun. When you refill the system and bleed the brakes it will clear the resg of the old stuff out

Never mix dot 5 with any of the others it's silicone based and destroy everything ! The others can be used together but it's advisable to drain completely if your using more than a little bit to top off. Th others are glycol based if I remember hence why it strips paint. The main difference between the different dot's is the dry and wet boiling points. Dot 5.1 being the higest and best for fast & heavy repetitive braking

Dot 4 is a repalcment for dot 3 which isn't widely available these days, it's made up of the same stuff if I remember correctly, It's dot5 and 5.1 you cant mix [emoji3] Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk

Bot tyres got the same amount of wear on ? Have you cchecked the pas fluid condition & level? Shouldn't be a cause of this but you never know, Maybe just a quirk of the car, I used to havea transit that would start to go mental at 70 over 75 and it would settle down again, never found out what it was but it wss main dealer serviced every year so couldn't have been anything dangerous Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk

Much beter, what olour are you going for ? I like the contast as it is now Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk

P.s get some pics up [emoji16] Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk

Hello, sorry to here the bad news with cooking the engine, it should be fine, where has the doner engine come from ? Without looking up the engine code for the new lump couldn't tell you if it's a uk, or jdm, you may want to get it mapped if it's a uk engine as it will be slightly less powerful than yours and the ecu may be trying to fuel it in regards to what was in there before, I could be wrong but hopefully one of our members who's done swaps before will be able to tell you more Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk

Still can't see but managed to read off email. Fans usually controlled by a thermo switch, that tells them to cycle on and off. Its normally located on or near the thremostat housing, should look like a brass nut with wires coming off it. I'd check this as may be faulty, normally when dead they don't come on at all. Maybe it's an earthing issue, maybe check your fuses too before changing the switch

Is it always there or disappear when warm? Did you put the heatsheild back on after changing the downpipe, Maybe come loose ?
