I've noticed on the way home that the oil pressure taking longer to get to it's normal operating range, my gauge shows between 1.4-1.8 at idle when warm so i take it the new oil is taking longer to get up to temp. Hence the slap bing more noticable. I guess this being my 1st winter with the car i'm just finding out how she copes with the different temp ranges. And having the new exhaust on has made me here and listen to things i haven't heard before so with all of that combined i'm prob going mad ! Heres another clipof above and below for you gambit :-D

Sav, it allways has done, dunno if its due ro the life it's led or because it's not been mapped for uk running and previous owner prob jut used 95ron in her ? I know all it did before i bought her was trundle round london and to hampshire and back. Service time in june so i'll see how she goes

Dunno what that is think it could be a pulley or a belt its hardly audible just the camera picks up all the sound really well i'll record later but i think it's just me being over paranoid again :-D

Either 126thousand or 138thou depending on how the conversion was done. Showing 201400kms but if you divide that by 1.6 comes to the 126 figure or if you take off 63k which is how the seller said it was done you get the 2nd figure. I should really dig out the import docs and work it out

My !Removed! paranoia has returned after a recent oil change she's started to slap louder than before, i assume i used the same grade oil as before 10-40semi synth so i'm stumped do different brands behave in very differnet ways ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZjNC7n2LfQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player The vid makes it sound a lot worse, that was after 10 min idle and a 3 mile drive :-( Prob not far enough for it to get really hot as it's only stop start traffic All i can think is there was a different oil in ?

Drove to town for a beer found out was a free bar so drove to work. Walked back to pub and got amongst some free bevvies. :-)

Something like this http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201312060368124/sort/atcustom/postcode/ls27qz/radius/1501/make/SUBARU/model/impreza/price-from/7500/price-to/9000/page/1/usedcars?desc=1 Bit on the pricy side but it's a jtc garage. I'm sure theres many more around looks like your gonna have a nice time in the classified ads. (Goes to search out more cars he can't afford)

Maybe stick that one on the bay and start again ? If you'd asked that question the other week i could have given you an answer. The nut is a 22 mm on the outside.as for the length i'd never assume !

Yep deffo need that hole there, maybe he's sold you one for a newage wrx ? Not sure where the sensors are on those. After looking at the wrx diagram on page 1 i'd say youve got the wrong one. They have one before the up pipe and one inbetween the two cats in the centre pipe

Am i confusing myself or are we talking about the same bit, downpipe from the turbo ? Or second section ?

The n/a cars have it in a different place underneath the engine where the two meet into 1. All turbos do though :-(

Thats bad news, main o2 sensor essential take it you mean the one directly behind the turbo ? Could get one fabricatd

Shhh ! Don't tell everyone !

Yours looked really nice on the car last night,set it off well.

Put more oil in :-) bought a load of fresh clips for the undertray and scoop fixings

Hello, 8k should get you a very nice wagon, Theres a buying guide somewhere on here can't remember where. As for buying i'd go for, if it's had mods done id be wanting paperwork same with the ' remap' claim If they have been done well should have no problems and may be better for fuel economy. Stantard stuff like reg servicing is a must. Servicing used to be short intervals but newer cars go a bit longer 7k i think. Although most of us change the oil every 4-5k. Look for one thats had a recent belt change or account for that if it's not been done and due, Don't be put off by main dealer prices as there are lost of very good independants which will do a better and cheaper job. I take it your lookong at impreza's ? I'll let someone else answer the ride question on that one. I stand corrected but cas registered afer may/june 06 may fall into the £450 tax bracket :O Anyway welcome and feel free to ask as many questions no matter how trivial or daft they may be.

F***ing freezing stood on that hilside wind blowing right in your face. Thanks to dave and fonzey, didn't realise you were traveling that far ! Sorry it wasn't the greatest night, 1st one teething problems and all. Some nice cars there and i managed to find out who i followed all the way from leeds to pudsey last monday, I'm still tempeted by the wheels :-)

Haha after the L reading i did wonder what was going on, but after parking on level ground last night it was better. I was seeing the same idle pressure as i did before the change so i wasn't too bothered just glad it's ok. Still only taken just over 4L though

Sit rep ! All good left oil over night half way between the two marks. Can breathe easy now :-)

Good to see/meet everyone pub trip went a bit !Removed! up but never mind bigger and better things to come

Don't tell me that ! Ran car for 15 let cool oil at top, drove to meet checked oil and near E mark ! Put another slug in drove to pub left it ten mins checked again and was at full mark. Just got home now will re check in the morning . Hop no damage has been done

Traffic in leeds mental done a mile n 25 mins

Rough man maths says thats 4.2 us quarts which is spot according to us specs, i've put in 4 and the level is now sitting on the full mark. Prob about right as i don't bother extracting with a suction pump. Prob around half a litre sat in the block. I'll just keep an eye on it tonight

Level finally came up after adding that now can't get an accurate read haha. Still fired up gonna leave her for another 10 mins and see what it's like. Was worried a bit for a moment
