Left hand bracket looking back towards the front of car

haha, :P clearly see how horrible it is underneath, word of warning to anyone who's never removed the i/c before be very careful i was holding it around the edges and still managed to damage the fins underneath with a wayward finger, didn;t realise how soft they are !

with i/c back on

dunno if this helps but i took a pic of mine when i took the i/c off the other day in case i couldn't get bits back together, bracket on the right and above the turbo, may be different on impreza engines

Anyone uprated their speakes ? Mine have perished and i'm looking for suitable replacement. 6.5 front 4.0inch rear ta

https://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/app/enquiry?execution=e1s2 Refuses to bring any details up i'd be a bit wary.

What's the odometer showing ? Kms or miles ? Steering Wheel looks like an import as correct me if i'm wrong but i think that they have the subaru logo on instead of a momo branding

Lol and wrx sticker on boot lid. Any interior pics ? Would be even easier to tell

Front badge indicate import too. What's with the size of the rear plate is it just the picture or is the spacing wrong ? Has the rear bumper been replaced or have the cut it to fit uk size number plate

As there anywhere that has a comprehensive gude to subaru knock ? I've searched and many different things and peope have said this and that. I'm prob being paranoid but as the baby due date approaches i keep hearing more and more little noises that are making my wallet wince. She's always slapped a little on start up and goes away once warm but the last couple of days the slap has gone away but she sheems to be a little louder and there is a little rythmical clatter which hasn't gone away. My daily commute is only 2 miles and i've been driving this week due to running around. Maube she's not warm enough, or sounding different due to the damp weather. Boosts fine and no horrible noises around 2k and above

I guess any model will be the same up untill 2000 ?

Gambit, Don't hold me to this but it looks like all jap cars from around 94-99. They use the obd style port as an interface . Is there anyone on here with a uk spec classic we could ask to confirm ?

While looking around i've just answered my own question for anyone with a my99 or below you will need a ps701 diagnostic tool. And they are about a ton so if i need to i'll just stick to counting the flashes of the CEL

Just found this form anhone who's interested. Still woun't work on my98 or below http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/65-parts-accessories-performance/39426-freessm-complete-access-your-ecm-tcu.html

This is what's confusing me. The wiring at the back doesn't add up to the number of pins. I'll see if i can get a new on . Thanks for the help :)

any problems in changing the interior bulbs for led festoon ones ? mine are a bit dull

cheers, being a 97 i thought it may be compliant, i'm just a little confused as to the port, i think i have the sets of leads under the dash too as i found a group of about 4 the other day. i'll have a dig around tomorrow, did the subaru own system attach into the 16 pin port then ? just out of interest what port/amount of pins have others got on 98/99 models?

hi ! my sf had it's wind deflectors fitted in the uk so i'll dig the paperwork out and see what the invoices says for you

bought a cheap scanner off the bay, finally found out that it won't read my ecu as it's an elm32 protocol and early obd isn't compatible, so i had a hunt round for odb1. but the access port under the dash conflicts this as it would appear to be obd2, so further investigation led me to think i was ok and just needed a different scanner, from what i read it isn't odb2 so i'm confused as hell, i can't work out if mine's been butchered or not as the picture shows it's a bit mangled i have pin 1 4,5 12 & 13 but it looks like someone attacked it with a screwdriver, the loom at the back has at least a dozen wires running into it, does anyone have a clue as to what it is or can point me in the right direction, as the pin configuration doesn't relate to any of the protocols in use, did subaru use their own system before the wordwide acceptance of a standardized system ? found this but i'm still in the dark http://www.obdii.com/connector.html#dates

Now a job for tomorrow too many cans this eve.

gonna start another thread lol

I did think this as i coulsn't find the odb2 plaque anywhere on the car it only has four pins on the plug. So either the free version of torque was lying to me and not working either or it was working ghen broke. I ran the diagnostic on the app and everything was fine apart from the coomunication to the ecu was reading fail. Still was only a fiver. I'll try it on my old mans car next week.

Yeah i bought the pro version, to be fair i don't even know if the forester is compatable. I need to try the dongle in another car to see if it's that or the car i got the slightly cheper blue one that's available on there. I've heard that they ate only cheap chinese copies of the code so i wasn't expexting much for a fiver

Sorry to hijack the thread, gambit which scanner/ app are you using ? I bought a scanner off the bay and used the free torque app it seemed to work fine so i thought i'd buy the paid version of the app and now it saying my scanner can't read the ecu ?

Front strut brace thicker anti roll bars front and rear, stainless exhaust, nice lightweight rims. None if which i can really afford at the mo but if if a cheap a/r bar front comes up i may push the boat out.
