  1. Import car parts have purple maf's for about 240 quid new Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  2. Breakers would be your best bet, the u Shaped frame is notorious for going it then traps the moisture between it and the subframe, another member has had exactly the same problem. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  3. Saggy suspension is common, especially if it's got the self leveling suspension, best bet is to rip the old unit's out and either get a set from pedders which will have new top mounts springs and shocks, will just bolt straight in, or get a custom set of springs from springcoil and kyb struts and top mounts,there's a thread with part numbers somewhere. I think Eudm fox's came with a tfo3 turbo so you could bolt on a td04 or 05 or something newer like a vf series turbo on, but will require mapping to avoid it going bang, Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  4. Nope sold, I'll lock the thread Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  5. Matt's taking the **** out of a subaru place in Rotherham, known for generally shoddy work depending on who you speak too Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  6. Hello & welcome, If you'd changed the modine gasket then I'd say it could be coming from a bit further up the front of the block, have you had the plastic belt covers off to see if it's wearing from the crank area Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  7. Looks like it's running fairly rich to me Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  8. They are only un reliable if you rag them from cold, don't look after them neglect regular quality oil changes etc Plenty of us are over 100k mileage wise. The 2.5 engines have a bit of a reputation for head gasket and Ringland problems, but there are plenty that haven't gone pop too Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  9. Try a breakers I lost one of my arch protectors, got two 2nd hand ones for , £10 +postage Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  10. Cobra sport in Sheffield do hatch exhausts and will also make you one up. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  11. Lll you could remove them and send them off to be cleaned, depends on if you could be bothered Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  12. These what your after ?? http://www.importcarparts.co.uk/parts-info?id=9447&cat=96&sub=457&sec=0&var=0&dc=&gen=&searchKey=&searchPart= Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  13. Think your the right way round there tidgy, 😂 Some are 225mm and later classics/new age are 230mm Both will fit, but you'll deffo need a flywheel skim of going from a 225to a 230mm A grand sounds about right for a main dealer 6 hours labour involved, must work at a snails pace and include paying to sip brews, Just make sure your sitting down if you ever need to phone subaru for parts again 😂 Thanks God for the Internet Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  14. A bit more for a pink box so maybe 450 ish all in ? Depends on your garage, Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  15. 1st off how much power are you wanting to put through the car ? Exedy blue box kits are good for up to 300bhp the pink box is good for over 350bhp. Both are good for daily use Typical prices around 350-400 for clutch kit, flywheel skim spigot bearing, from an independent garage Don't go down the paddle clutch route as they are knackers to use as a daily unless you like shuddering off from shuddering standstill Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

    I'll be able to get hold of some but won't be for a month, What problems are you having ? The ariel is built into the glass on the rear quarter Could try Www.opposedforces.com not sure if the diagrams are up there but 90% of everything you'll ever need is, Failing that@mrB is **** hot at all foz needs, If your still stumped then our American friends over on foz.org will have them Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  17. I doubt you'd get that much extra with a different size pill, again if someone had messed with the actuator you'd probably see other issues too Unless you have a manual boost controller fitted ? Maybe lift the carpet in the passenger footwell and remove the kick plate have a look at the ecu, may have been swapped for a different unit, or may have some form of identifying stickers from a mapper or indication it's been mapped, if your feeling brave you could open it up see if there's an esl board in there Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  18. Your a bit far away from a quick visit to me but if you visit leeds much give us a shout Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  19. Manifold upgrade isn't worth it really, a decent none oiled filter will be best as if you remove the box you only end up with loads of heatsoak, have a look at the cosworth filters, fairly cheap and do a good job, Strut braces will help firm up the feel, you can get them for the rear too. Better anti roll bar droplinks are another worthwhile upgrade and depending how far you want to go,maybe look at refreshing the suspension bushes if they are old Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  20. If your only planning on using the car on the road, I'd just go 22mm rear bar, leave the front stock, the will dial out any understeer and make it a more fun to drive, bigger bar on the front is only really needed for track work, At that price point for a lifting kit the jack won't be much kop, I've been through 2 cheap machine mart ones, the axel stands will be fine, and I suspect you'll get at least a year out of the jack before it goes wonky, if you really want to invest you'll probably have to spend a ton or more on a good jack, all depends on how much your going to use it Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  21. Plenty of apps to do this, Easiest way is to keep your petrol receipts, log your mileage at every fill up then do the maths the next time you fill up again. Classic gauges are notoriously rubbish Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  22. Try and get one that does a couple of years, I'm about to buy my 3rd seat in as many years, The misses wanted a 'travel system' had a maxi cosi infant seat that fitted onto the pram, only good till nine months old, we've had another maxi cosi 'tobi' for 18 months which had been great, easy to take cover off and clean etc, but that only goes up to 18kg or something. I'm now shopping for a 3rd one but that should do her till she's 12 as it has all manner of removable sides bolsters head rests etc. The recaro ones are good but the newer ones don't have as good reviews for some reason, Also beware of the seat/isofix as some of the younger seats you have to buy a separate isofix Base to use the seat !! I don't have isofix in mine so only gone for the normal ones, Also take what the 'experts' say in mother care with a pinch of salt they gave us poor advice tried to up sell on seats wich I thought was bang out of order due to it being a safety item (wanted me to go for a more expensive model as it fitted better) it didn't the one we chose was fine, they said none will fit in your car except xx brand. Basically gain as much independent info as you can before making your choice, as they ain't cheap and are a pain in the !Removed! to lug around in and out of different cars, So far I it's cost us about 350 quid for two seats and will probably be another 100- 150 for a final seat Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  23. Pretty sure @savagebulldogs has some or links to them, have a look in his build thread think they are posted up there Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  24. Hello & welcome, All depends on what you want to do to it when you say upgrading ? Trying to get more power out of it is pretty fruitless unless you want to spend a lot of money. The path I'd go down is handling. Loads of different aftermarket bits around Whitline do alot of parts, and you may find that impreza/forester parts of the same year will go on Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  25. The whiteline ones will work Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
