  1. going from memory it depends on what your using it for the LS is limited slip diff oil specific, so just go with the normal stuff for the gearbox, i'd double check 1st though but i'm pretty sure, could try opie oils, he's on here for more advice and to see if he can get the shell stuff for you
  2. Like you say if the previous owner has done everything irrelivant of cost should be nothing to worry about. I was getting confused with the service schedual sorry, :O i have an older car anyway so could be different
  3. Whoop ! Glad you like it. When was the last mayor service done ? Should have been includes in that. I'd have a look see what condition the belt has done as they are supposed to be done every 40k i think. Mine has the same amount of mileage and i was told the belt had at least 20k left on it but with no record i wasn't going to chance it. When it came off the idler and pulleys looked ok as was genuine subaru belt. It's an expensive job but for piece of mind i'd get it checked
  4. It will be down in sheffield at sheffield subaru service. About 2 minutes drive from medowhall Bit of a trek from catterick. Maybe see if we can get a north yorks meet up for people around your area and york etc ?
  5. I changed my mk1 for the foz no matter how much i tried to convince the misses i wasn't allowed to stick the baby in the boot. Was gutted but i love the foz as it's discreet and fast. Not half as much fun but a lot safer in the wet. How does the rcz drive read good reviews of them but never come across anyone who has one
  6. Looks nice, good luck with the sale. Mk2 mx5 lurking in the garage ?
  7. I noticed that all the topics had gone from the tyres & wheels section too.
  8. I'm easy think i'm gonna have to shell out for a o2 sensor this month :-(
  9. Anyone decided on a solid date yet ? Need to book it with the misses !
  10. Hello, nice to see somone else on here from the great city ! I'll give you a wave if i come across you out and about. There's a yorkshire area meet thia month down in sheff.
  11. Hello, nice to see some more people from the yorkshire area here :-)
  12. I polly bushed the links and arb's on my mazda hardest thing was getting underneath to reach them on that. I love the way it's so easy to do work on the underside of the foz. I bought a cheap torque rench from manchine mart they do come in usefull. Keep mime in the car, doubles up for taking wheels off as i didnt have a brace
  13. From time to time mine throws up a random cel light. Can't work out why at the mo. If it's possible i'd like to try and clean the sensor and see what happens Did a basic maf unplug test and it stalled straight away (know it's not scientific shows its working at some capacity)
  14. Where did you get the kyb's ? Had adjustable ones on my old car ant thought they were superb. Link would be useful for future reference :-)
  15. Fair enough.. what torque values did you tighten everythong back up to. I'm gonna take a look at mine in the next week or so. They seem to be a weak point been looking back through the m.o.t advsiories and the n/s has been flagged up every other year for excessive wear. They were fairly new when i got the car but i'm just keeping an eye on them.
  16. Plus gas always does the trick. Did you just replace them with stock items or some nice shiney upgrades ?
  17. Right been having a play around with car an i'm pretty sure its the o2 sensor. Devided to do a basic unplug test on the maf and the car stalled instantly so i'm geussing that it looks about right ? Run diagnostic again and it's coming up with 23 and 32 so i assume thats cos i unplugged the maf while running Off to get an o2 sensor now. Would help if i can find some ome who doesn't want my vin number to order a part as for some reason ut's nown as a gl
  18. Some one on here was selling some self leveling foz shocks a while back. Can't remember if it was front or rear or a pair. Doesn't help matters really
  19. If i wasn't driving a family wagon i'd have had two but i didn't want to look like a complete bell end with them cluttering up the dash. One for me does the job and sits quite discreetly out the way plus the misses doesn't know how much they cost so one has to be easier to explain. Toying with the idea of moving it onto the steering cowl but unsure
  20. I got a oil pressure/boost gaugw from depo racing and a pod from ets. Didn't want loads of gauges everywhere so plumped for that it's a led one found it slightly easier to read at a glance Showing dual oil pressure read Oil pressure round outside boost in middle
  21. It's bookmarked as when i was researching buying the car i came across saggy !Removed! syndrome. Nearly had a heart attack when i found the list price on a pair from subaru. Got me eye on the lowering kit added ro the ever increasing wish list
  22. Have a word with gambit i'm not sure what year his is but he sould be able to point you in right direction. I've no experence with the newer models i take it yours is the SG then. Does yours not have sti brakes on ? Thoight the foz sti hot all the same goodies as the impreza. I cant see there beimg much problem in changing the discs as far as i'm aware it's the clearence with rims but if you've got 18in on should be laughing
  23. As long as you don't mind the heat and smell of sweaty emo teens and massive ques lack of customer service it's alright
  24. On the 1st gen foz just about everything i've found or bought has been interchangable with the classic impreza apart from the backbox which is a different shape and brakes which require a wheel upgrade. What year is your car ? Someone should be able to shed some light on it with the same year impreza i guess. Another thing to try is have a look at catalogue numbers on the web for strut braces and what not see if they are the same for the two cars. Whiteline wanted a fifty quid premium on a brace for mine just cos it was in the forester section. Did some research and some people from here measured some bits for me and i bought a classic impreza one fitted perfectly and saved some cash :-)
