What made you...
I'm along the lines of tlag, Misses wouldn't let me stick the baby in the boot of my mazda so i had to change the car. With good ground clearence for the couple of times a year it ventures 'off road' 4wd for when it snows it had to be a subaru, impreza's are ten a penny round me and so wanted something that was a little bit different and more discreet. :-)

Non turbo bonnet on turbo car?
Took my scoop off for painting today. On the left hand side mine has a seperate divider which would appear to channel some air towards the turbo. I like the look of the scoop delete vent but looking at the car minus scoop it looks a bit lost without it :-(
-
scoop !
Hmm turns out mines clipped in with some fasteners which ment removing the air guide tray did wonder why it wasn't coming free when given a little tug. One of the clips at the front was so brittle it perrished. Hopefully be able to re use whats left of it as theres no replacment in subaru group stock. balls !

I'm easy with plenty of time could do any day. Trouble with squires for a meet is it's location idea if theres people from all sides of leeds coming but if the majority are from north and west it's a bit of a mission
-
West Yorkshire area

Tyre
Obviously grip and handling will be affected but if you can get one that is at least the same brand as one of the others at least you'll have a pair with the tread patterns the same on the same axle. As your not doing 100mph plus all day 4 different ones would be ok. Ride and noise is another factoe to consider
-
West Yorkshire area
Yeah or have it in different places on a rolling basis. If theres people up york, harrogate further a field they may not want to have to travel miles every month hell may even make it to your neck of the woods ! Haha

Tyre
I'd buy a pair but that's just me. Can you get the same brand replacement if you bought one ? What are the remaining 3 like regards to wear ? If you can get away with just buying 1 should be fine

Forester XT turbo 2001 exhaust shot - wisdom required!
What are you after ? From the turbo back including cats or jut the middle or rear sections ? I've been told the the 1st two sections for the impreza will fit.(dont hold me to this) The back box is different in length and the hangers are in different positions. The rear box from the 1st two generations are the same (sf &sg) so you could maybe go to a scrappy and find one or you could get one made, typicaly between £180-300 depending on who soes it. Longlife and powerflow have nationa networks and both will make you one from scratch. There's a quote me section on their sites.

Exhaust fitting questions
Haha no worries i need to see if it's going to be vaible and where would be a good location for everyone to meet for a start. It's all good both the lawnswood arms and fox and grapes on a64 are fairly friendly whwn it comes to car meets. mx5/vw ones take place at them so once i know who and where people are coming from i'll put some ideas forward

Exhaust fitting questions
Haha good for getting rid of unwanted pets ! I was told not to mix the coolants as there's two types subaru use. I just topped up with de ionised water. It's due a full system flush next year anyway. My turbo always smells a bit for about 10secs after shutting down. Figured it was the oil warming down. I'm on about sorting a leeds meet out. How often you up here and any preference to days etc if your interested ?

Exhaust fitting questions
I ran my car for over a week in the height of summer with nowt in. Turns out i had an airlock from when the belts were changed. Temp gauge never moved from normal position. I take it you have the header that sits up above the turbo to the left of the headers with the orange radiator cap on ? If thats still full you should be fine and just fill the expansion bottle half full keep an eye on it
-
Exhaust fitting questions
New gaskets all the time for the sake of a few quid may as well renew save having to take everything apart again in 4 months to do a job you could have done while it was all apart inbthe 1st place. My expansion tank has a collar round the middle which seems to be the high mark when warm. Mine was empty a while back so filled it up to this and ran the car. It spat out waht i didn't need and now at cold it's about an inch below the collar. I did make a note of it with a marker on the side for future reference.

're thinking about the holidays?
Cape verdi. Booked on a spur of the moment new years day last year needed some winter sun. 23-26 deg c all week. Loved it was the 1st all inclusive hoilday i've done. We went to the island of sal Not much to do outside the resort but i'd go again. A friend of mine booked one of the hotels on one of the other islands by concidence, said it was a bit more developed. And more to do. In summer they went to watch turtles hatching. Tiny island massive runway thought was a bit odd for a small commercial airport. Then saw the antonov 225 parked at then end of the runway :-)
