Subaru Forester 2.0 X 5dr 2004 LPG/Duel Fuel 147000 miles ADVICE
Haha i've seen two peice ones advertised but they are about sixty quid each. The defleftors don't stop the wind noise from around the wing mirror cowl, i drove back from southampton convinced i had a hole somewhere. By all accounts it's a manufacturing defect there is a guide somewhere that you can remove the a pillar surround and wing mirror cowl and make it a bit quieter by adding some deadining.

I've got some defllectors on mine but it's an early sf so don't know if will fot the facelift, there was a chap in cornwall who was after some too but my paperwork didn't actually say where they came from. So that doesn't help matters. Do you want the deflecctors to stop the wind noise from around the front of the wing mirror ?

Its that time of year ...again!
If you get a gauranteed limitage mileage policy it should come down. May have to give them an odometer reading at the start, seeing that your under 21 and it's a grand i'd say that's not too bad. I once got quoted 3k on a 205gti at 23 ! Have you tried putting your folks on to see if ut goes down ?

If flux seem too high try sky insurance then play them off each other. How many miles do you do a year ? Try working it out, may be that you do loads under the 10k most people estimate so will be able to reduce the premium by agreeing to a lower limit ?

Apexi boost controller (electronic)
Is that not the original one on the right of the 2nd picture that's not wired up ?

How Did You Find Us (Poll)
- Number plate
i think half of the battle is 'how small it looks' in relation to the size of the frontal area of the car, if it looks tiny and ridiculous your prob asking for a chat with the law, if it doesn't look out of place it won't draw attention- Apexi boost controller (electronic)
Any idea what model it is ? Are you getting any other readings on the display ? Some of them do boost, rpm and other functions, if not getting any read out may not be wired up correctly ?- Number plate

Right had a measure Couldn't work out exactly where you took yours from but here's what i came up with, all are a rough reading Strut top centre to centre 105cm Inner bolt to inner 95cm Top to top 102cm Outer to outer 122cm 5cm clearence from bulk head to top of i/c only thing that looks different is i have a hard pipe from manifold runs over top to the barke servo ? Can't see it on yours ? Saying that i've not been able to zoom in on yours- Number plate
My mate has a mk1 golf cab with the german plates i've always wondered how he gets it through the mot !- Number plate
He was an idiot, Considering the size of the front one i had on drove for 3 years with no trouble from the law. That was tiny Took it to a different place this year and they didn't even flag up the advisory for th anti roll bar that the tester gave it the previous year. Stick one ones aren't legal anymore but i know of plenty of 5 owners who nver have any problems. Benji. try craigs plates .if you want someone to make you the smallest legal one you can get away with without any hassle- Number plate
That bit was fine as it was the garage name of seller. It failed on the distance between the top and bottom line being too small by about 1.5mm laughable really- Number plate
Nope ! Try harder lol- Number plate
also goes on the area available to display the plate, my eunos had the jdm rear finisher at the back, passed for 7 years on the original uk plate it acquired when it was registered in 2005 failied in 2012 due to this, spot the difference bottom plate fail, top good, even then the tester gave me and advisory as it wasn't uk spec ! like jay says depends on who you get and how much a jobsworth they are- How Did You Find Us (Poll)
i should add found the oc by typing leather chapped driving enthusiasts into it, low and behold it returned a search of you !- cheap mods
Cheers, as far as i'm aware it's the same, i'll go have a measure tomorrow and see. I'll just do it from the top of the centre of the strut tower. It was more the clearance round the back of the ic that i was worried about but from your picture it looks almost the same- cheap mods
Haha cheers mate, i reckon it will fit, i've not even left the house today so i'll measure up tomorrow if you could post a pic up would be good, what size i/c have you got ?- cheap mods
looking at this i think that they are both the same, as long as the brace goes behind the i/c then we're ok impreza whiteline brace http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Whiteline-Front-Brace-Strut-Tower-Mount-Behind-IC-Impreza-GC-Wrx-KSB551-/200965497223?_trksid=p2054897.l4276 forester whiteline brace http://www.h-dev.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=78_178_338_721_726&products_id=2553 so i guess i can just get one from scoobyparts or somewhere else save fifty bits and it will fit :)- Go Pro Hero
Go pro seem to be the standard in quality and i'd say for under two hunderd it would pay for it's self if the worst happened on the bike. They can stand up to some abuse and if they are good enough for ken bock and various motoring jurnos to shoot with they must be doing something right, depends if you can afford the inital outlay. They have loads of accessories and are a prety powerful peice of kit. The newest models have wireless capibilities- cheap mods
Sav. Didn't think of that good shout batman! Maybe a case of trying to squeeze and extra 50 notes out of me for the privilage of having a different model- cheap mods
True, just drawing up a list and prioritising things :-) 1 Numder one on the list before anything else is a waxoil before winter. Suppose if anyone has one on a classic. maybe they could measure up and clearence etc. The whiteline ones did look slightly different in the pic but without seeing one who knows- cheap mods
Also will the car benifit from a hunter re alignment Any specific settings that can be applied ?- cheap mods
Just don't vent your gas in tbe vicinity of anyone ! I'm thinking of keeping my a/c it needs a re gas though. Does the impreza strut fit the foz ? They seem to be cheaper than the foz specific ones (only ones i've come across are whiteline) Eventually everything will be re bushed. As and when they need doing. Praying he wishbones don't need it for a while as it's a fortune. Did it with my 5 made a 22 year old car feel new. - Number plate
