I take it the ic swop would require a remap ? My y pipe was looking prettty haggard when I took it off last time, been looking and the v3 sfs kit is different to the forester kit the y pipe seems to be a smoother shape http://www.scoobyparts.com/acatalog/copy_of_copy_of_SFS_TURBO_HOSE_KIT_-_IMPREZA_01-05.html http://www.subaruforesterparts.co.uk/#!product/prd1/1660081895/subaru-forester-sf5-intercooler-y-pipe-kit-97-2002 Sent from my SM-T210

I think we should just press gang people into it, gambit is there a fee for just turning up if we're not on a club stand ? Sent from my SM-T210

Definitely v3/4 then :-D Is the recirc valve at the bottom of the hose where it splits into three pieces ?

It must have been a long time ago that your engine looked like that :-D Thanks for that you are a valuable source of knowledge fella So if I get a v3 intercooler pipe set it should fit. Whats missing from the right of the alternator ? Aircon unit?

Direct line won't even touch you if it's an import or modded so it's all balls ! I know of people who had mk3 mx5's theres a factory option lowering spring set from eibach which if you got installed at time of purchase no problems insuring. If you were buying used and wanted to get lowering kit from your dealer the insurer wouldn't have it and couldn't get cover. As bitman says they are all as bad as each other

Just renewed mine today with mark richards, a rather reasonable 579 fully comp with exhaust declared :-) Surely if you cancelled half way through you'd only pay a month extra admin fee. Most of the big insurers don't like many mods as they assume you an idiot and will kill everything and your self because you have a million horsepower and you've changed from oem spec so the car is not as intended etc. The brokers and specialists tend to know their stuff and understand that it's your pride and joy and a lot of time and money has gone into it so you'll do everything in your powers to keep it looking good and in tip top condition.

Trying to find out what version engine my foz has in it. Need to replace some hoses that are on there last legs. With various peoples help (cheers sav) I thought I'd narrowed it down but looking at james' edm 2000 foz it would appear not. Since found out that the euro foz had a different engine config untill my01. Most noticeably coil pack on the side and a bov located on the ic. I'll pop one of mine up in a bit cheers My coil sits straight on top of the inlet and I'm led to believe the bov is somewhere down the pipework to the right being a recirc type, initially I thought mine is a v3/4 but now I'm thinking maybe 4/5 ? All I know is that it uses the same engine as some gc wrx's So if anyone post a pic of there stock ish engine bay with tmic I can start to narrow it down

Try flux, sky and, japcover(mark richards) all brokers all equally competitive plus you can usually go between them and get the price down :-)

Almost felt sorry for him then ! He nust have plowed a fair amount into it. I wonder at what point he took a step back and thought that looks fecking ace :-)

Fair play I'd have been to ashamed to be seen taking pics incase someone got the wrong idea [emoji52] Were you in the van or your car ? Still at least he's sittin on 22's ! Almost makes me want to head into bradford tonight and see what horrors I can unearth Sent from my SM-T210

Should have waited around to see what happend when he tried to put the shopping in the boot, Sent from my SM-T210

Bit disappointing round here not a great deal of amazingly poorly 'enhanced' motors. Plenty of shed material though, I'll be extra vigilant from now on Sent from my SM-T210

I was underneath the rear of mine yesterday, the anti roll bar is one of the most pathetic looking things i've ever seen, maybe look at changing those too Sent from my SM-T210

Thats brilliant, how's the back box even suspended ? Sent from my SM-T210

Hi mate , theres a list in the for sale section I think, but I usually find myself just googling and looking at stuff from overseas as the uk doesn't really have much in the way of styling for the foz, Just about every impreza part I've bought has fitted, What are your aims ? [emoji3] I keep toying with the idea of bigger rims lowering etc the list goes on ! Sent from my SM-T210

Boooost ! It's addictive :-) Today I be maonly ringing round insurers :-(

Gets coat :O been a long day

I'm getting confused with the vx rims doh !

To be honest I'd not even thought about the bay. I was looking at new prices

Have a look at this, maybe something similar available for yours :-) http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/6562-test-fitting-legacy-mesh-grille/#entry38122

I've a pair of forester seats sat in my basement. Wider and more of a normal seating position. They sit about an inch higher than impreza seats. Not sure about the fit in a new age though

Ooh gutted, how much they go for ? Cheapest I've found just the rims for is 466 from the states :-(

Should be mate, just not got round to ordering it from subaru yet. I was gonna get the internal rubber bit too save messing around and just replace it

Oh and don't undo the bit on the top without marking the screw locations. You shouldn't have to remove it to be fair but if you do mark it 1st other wise your idle will be all over.

Depends which version you have, some are on top of the inlet next to throttle body and others are on the right but on the back side of the inlet manifold, like this In either case get new gaskets before you do anything. And if it's the latter of the two try and get hold of the diaphragm that goes inside. Google subaru idle air control cleaning. Will give you both walk through guides.
