stants

Damn children ! I was gonna sell mine to my dad as he loved driving it that way i could have still taken it out for a blast now and then. The old dear put a stop to that plan though :-(

Yep thats the one. Although looking at the revues i wouldn't order online haha

Looks like they have had a clear out as it used to stretch further right. You can't take tools in so you wander round find what you want then they come annd remove it for you. May have changed since. Motorhog seem to be buying up all the smaller yards. Yeah mate i loved it it's only due to the baby that i changed to the foz

No haha i can get there but thats about it. If you google something like jap breakers in batley should come up. It's behind a ralway line. Up a cobbled street anfd you have to go under the line to get to it i'll see if i can dig it out. I spent about an hour just wandering round last time. I was after mk1 mx5 bits. Bit of a dig through was worth it as it only cost 3quid for the bita

:-( Theres a jap breakers in batley last time i went they had everything from bongos to gto's in. It used to be massive so if your ever over that way may be worth a poke around

Ladies ? Near him thats stretching it a bit ;-)

Did you manage to get the money back on the newage one ?

I take it your on a td04 at the mo ? Around 260-270 :-)

If it stays fine may cut/polish/wax today

And pics if you decide she's the one for you. :-)

Just wait untill you've driven it you'll be taking the long route to the shops trying to drive across feilds 'just to see how is copes' I'm looking forward to some snow :-) They run better on vpower too

Or maybe a boost spike or wastgate not opening properly ?

Hi mate, just to clarify what do you mean by surging ? Does the car keep accelerating when you lift off or at idle ? Sorry for daft question

Are you buying private or trade ? If the belts are due try get the garage to do them or if private i'd haggle down the price a bit. Another good thing is that 90% of the parts are interchangeable with the same year impreza. Chances are that whoever upgaded to the ppp was obviously a car person, its an expensive bit of kit so i'm sure they looked after it

Driven it ! Spent all week on a health kick gold to get back in the car again

You'll notice a big difference more smiles and an engaging drive. :-) Standard forester x 160bhp Xt 225bhp Prodrive kit claims up to 250bhp and more torque, with remapped ecu ss exhaust and some other goodies. My first gen jdm foz was supposed to have around 240bhp when it came out of the factory. 17 years later it still feels fast enough. And pulls like a train. Obviously with the xt you'll have all the fun of a turbocharged all weather car. And the ability to stun people when they see how rapid the normal looking car is. The ride is comfy and you can push on to a degree, juat got to remember that it sits quite high off the floor so the centre of gravity is higher. An impreza it's not, wben it comes to the corners, I'm sure the standard x is a great car too and there are member on here who love them. But speak to anyone with a turbo'd car and they'll tell you the boost is addictive :-) I'd check service scheduals have stuck to and they have treated he car to reguar oil and filters, As for what to look for i'd take a look in the buying guide as it covers all subarus.

Should be fine with a double din unit. May need a fitting kit but it should go in

Bought a load of meguairs stuff 3 for 2 on all cleaning products and halfrauds. Got home to windy to do anthing today :-(

Got mine from a place in sheffield as the back box is a different length to the impreza, The 1st two sections are the same as the impreza, i may be wrong but your car has equal length headers so no signature subaru burble, you could change them to un equal length ones to get it (if i'm wrong someone will correct me) If you don't want to spend silly money maybe try the bay for some 2nd hand headers, as for the other sections i'm not sure, but most people start with changing the back box to get more sound :-) Once you start changing bits it's a slippery slope

Hello :-) Welcome to the club, Tyres seem to be a bit of a trade off between mpg/noise don't know weather thats due to being a reinforced tyre or not but i've not managed to find one that does both according to the ratings. To be fair i have two different brands on each axle both 'intermediate' price range which were on the car when i bought her, the noise isn't an issue as i find the sound proofing in the forester cabin to be excelent, so when i go for new sets it will be more towards the mpg side of things, tyre wear is good too. Oil i'd use the best you can find, try opie oils (trader on here) good advice and competitive price always has discounts etc. Mine runs on 10-40 semi synth, being slightly newer yours may be different i'd check the manual, As for adding a turbo you'd be better off buying a turbod car. As the amount of work involved is alot. just about everything on the engine needs to be replaced or added to. I'm sure youll be more than happy with your foz and if you do decide to start 'adding' bits 90% of the impreza bits of the same year fit.

I wasn't looking for something really loud but brought the burble out :-)

!Removed! !

Seeing as people travelled from far and wide to get to the recent meets just thought it would be a good idea to post your approx locations so we can get a rough idea as to where a central meet would be best. (Mainly for my benifit as i can't see peoples location while using mobile site). Ash, pommy and myself have been deciding weather to get a combined south/west yorks meet going so i'd like to see who's from where. And would help get the west yorks meets off the ground and bit easier for people to get to in rush hour traffic So, my location is slap bang in Leeds.

Not very good clip !: Not the best clip David, hope it gives you some idea compared to the standard one. I'll get a better on of it at speed etc
