Rear suspension thoughts
I'm in the process of doing mine this week. Good indicator or how dead they are is to lift the rear arch by hand and let go not very scientific but you get the idea. Or get a tape measure and go from the inner lower edge of the rim to the body work. Not sure about your ride hieght at standard but mines 660mm Currently measuring 610mm :-( Which ever bod changed mine they only did one side so its the other one thats had it. tut tut ! It's not so noticable on mine as they stuck spring spacers on it

Lambda sensor
If the lambda is unplugged you should be getting a cel light come up. Is it stored as an historical fault What did the old one look like when it came out ? Normally you can see how bad the condition is. Either that or the wires tend to go. Maybe the maff on its way out?

2 Tonne Trolley Jack Recommendations?
They do seem to have increased in price since I bought it. Had to wait a week or two for them to come back into stock so maybe they just sourced some crap in to fill the void. Everything else I've bought form mm has lasted years. The lightweight ally ones look good as do the long reach handles. Depends on access. Where's the jacking points on the legacy, Rear diff ? I ended up buying two bottle jacks for the front and rear railway sleeper cut down to spread the load and I just slide four axel stands in now

Making the sales parts Members only
Agree with jay I'd still keep basic membership free with the the ability to post stuff in for sale section after a minimum amount maybe bits and bobs could be on from 25 or so but if you were wanting to break or sell a car then maybe 50 constructive posts. Is there any way of mods being able to police the thead count so even if you'd posted 49 bits of !Removed! you couldn't put up no50 in the cars for sale. Ash and I were talking about people we've seen at meets posted once or twice then never again i know circumstances change but would nice to understand why they don't want to come back or be able to leave constructive feedback for us to be able to go forward.

2 Tonne Trolley Jack Recommendations?
My machine mart one fell apart within a couple of years use, I had heard that the supplier they used went bust and quality went down. May be different now. But it only cost 30 quid so I suppose you get what you pay for

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Usual stuff with smaller number plate finishers and bits like that. Usually has better standard equiment, more power don't have an alarm fitted as standard. Mine has large forester on the back instead of subaru lettering. The chassis numbers are shorter plus it's a 97 car, will say on your v5 if unsure too

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Good thing about mine being an import all the electrics are in the doors,where as uk cars I've seen have window and other switches plus low ratio box gubbins in the centre. 4 screws and the lots un done and out. Unfortunately none if my replacement parts have arrived this weekend due to courier incompetence so I've been sat twiddling my thumbs :'(

Does the Impreza WRX 06 model have the same exhaust as the Impreza WRX STI GB270
I suggest you find somome with one and ask them for a ride, They are loud as hell and may be alright on a few video clips but it may get a bit too much if it's your daily drive obviously I don't know your circumstances but if you went a head and got one fitted and hated it in a coiple of weeks it's a lot of hassle and cash to put right
