  1. While we're in the topic of **** plates, one from today
  2. Why have a plate that's spells jizzum ? [emoji33]
  3. Nope it's illegal, depends how much of an !Removed! the law wants to be when he pulls you over, my mate has one that's no spaces he ended up with a 60 quid fine for the pleasure
  4. What flush was put through it ? Best case is Could be a different type of coolant reacting with the new stuff and turning it to goo. Ethelyne glycol/oat reaction worst case hg ? [emoji22]
  5. There's also martin at Sheffield subaru services on century street behind the arena, myself and 4 or 5 other members use him, good prices and doesn't take the ****
  6. It's on my never ending list to do, if you take it all apart there's a diaphragm inside which would be better off being replaced instead of re used, And What ever you do don't unscrew the two Philips heads on top of the sensor without marking them 1st at least, if that goes out of alignment you'll be Tring to reset the idle forever
  7. As long as it's had regular services (oil mainly ) & don't smoke etc should be fine loads of classic owners on loads more milage than the one you viewed and still going strong, the 97/98 cars do suffer from more piston slap than other years but it's not anything to worry about
  8. Hello &welcome, @savagebulldogs is your man re the plugs etc, The cambelt should have been done at least twice more by my reckoning the official service schedual was 3 years 45k but it gradually got a bit longer as the years progressed, ie 5 years 45k 300 miles isn't too un realistic out of a tank driven sensibly, they are only small on classics though, 45l I think
  9. I like that mate, was looking for one for a classic but the ones I found looked a bit naff, didn't want to spend big money on one from the states, Did you get it here or overseas ?
  10. Hello & welcome, What model & year of forester are you looking into ?
  11. Not as exciting as sav's shiny bits, but got round to test fitting my can & bracket
  12. Knocking bottom end is no 1 concern, don't limit yourself to just looking at sti's go see as many local wrx's as you can as well that will give you more of a feel for things, what looks out of Shape and what your money will get you, you should get a nice motor with that kind of cash
  13. If you went the the whole hog and did the access tune bit you'd be able to map on the dyno with this and a laptop, but I don't know of anyone in the UK that uses these apart from gtr owners before syvecs and others became available, seen some foucs st owners talking about them too, The general consensus is the 'best way' to map subaru here is full live mapping, How much does the flash map take into account for the different ron fuel ?
  14. That's a good dilemma to have ! Both sets look superb, it's a good job that a, they are too wide for mine and b, I haven't got that kind of disposable income at the moment
  15. Mmm another saloon they are growing on me, welcome [emoji51]
  16. No love here towrads me apart from people off here [emoji22]
  17. No mate, been driving for a good hour and a half in stop start traffic, couple of things sprang to mind, A, it was just really hot, water was close to 100° on and off,oil was mid 90's as she'd been sat in traffic crawling for about 30 mins, it was only after i'd gone about half mile up road when temps began to come down, that it triggered, B, I read that some people had had an issue after washing with water entering scoop and causing a fault, 1st time i've ever seen it, Never get it from cold start, it felt like the waste gate was stuck open as it didn't cut so to speak, just nothing and then it all came back up. C, she just doesn't like outdoor life after being garaged for 3 years not used to the cold and throwing a wobbler or the sensor housing is damaged, Anyway reset last night, drove to work fine plugged into evoscan when o got her when for a drive, knock values were the same as any other logging session
  18. Carbon neutral [emoji38] good environmental man maths there ! A load of rubbish from me as didn't pass my test till I was in my early 20's due to being speared of me moped by an inconsiderate driver. piaggio typhoon benneton f1 rep [emoji51] fastest thing ever when your 16 Some field bikes suzuki & a Honda in there nowt 5o shout about, 94 Nissan sunny, (3 pages of red fails & 4 yellow adv on it's last mot) Renault laguna RT Renault laugna rn estate [emoji33] Mk3 escort Mk4 escort 91 Mk1 eunos roadster Foz Van wise although not strictly mine but company vehicles, spd shopping and general ragging when inbetween cars etc Lwb mk5 transit Swb mk5 transit Berlingo Ford courier (festia box van [emoji35] ) Swb mk6 5 transit Citroën dispatch (!Removed!) Lwb mk7 louton transit Swb mk8 transit (cruuent)
  19. Bargain ! Not many people use then here,does it flash generic maps or can you write them on pc and flash ?
  20. Driving home 40mph in 4th, accelerated slightly slight bog down in power then it flashes up cel#22 knock sensor, so reset and been for a blast, have to see what's what and keep an eye on things
  21. Arrgh ! Why do you do this to me ! And why do I have to buy everything to furnish my new house [emoji22] that's a steal !
