PinkTurboGirl Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 Thanks Paul[] Ive had lots of advice of everybody and i'm scribbling it all down on a scrap of paper at my desk to take with me when i go on the prowl[] look out anyone selling a P1 [] i'll be an expert at this rate. Now all i need to do is sell my car!!! SPREAD THE WORD EVERYBODY![H] Link to comment
paul n Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Forgot to add, see if you can get the build number off the car you've seen and ask on the P1 site to see if anybody knows the car [] Build plate on plate onN/S/F strut top Link to comment
blue boy Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hi, Where to start had our P1 for 3 years & recently changed for the WR1. The P1 is the best car we have owned & being totally honest I prefer it to the WR1 [] Ours had 40k on the clock when we bought it & sold with 69k, no engine problems at all, they do have a tendancy to pop engines but think a lot depends on how they are looked after. Few pointers below, just my opinion [] Always warm up and cool down properly Fit knock link and quality guages, never let oil temp go above 117 degrees Avoid cars with induction kits and or decats, unless been remapped Most P1 engines blow due to faulty MAF sensors, signs are eratic idle and lumpy running at low revs usually doesnt bring on the check engine light, we changed the MAF annually £75 & easy DIY job Other causes can be, been on motorway at prolonged silly speed, decats or induction kits fitted without remap (makes engine detonate at high revs) See you have found the P1 WOC, great site for P1 info and a good bunch peeps [] Car at Lichfiekds now sold, know car and owner, it was a real minter Advice from me would be to buy a standard P1 with full Subaru history and a warranty. They are a tremendous drivers car but do need to be looked after. If I can be of further help let me know [] Cheers Paul There speaks one who knows! Link to comment

Jenni Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Hi Jackie - Welcome to CADS! I've had my P1 for 5 months now and there isn't a day that goes by where I don't look forward to driving it! As Paul said, if you look after it (allow it to warm up before you boot it and cool down before you turn the engine off, regular service 7,500 or 6mnths) you should be fine. I noticed the picture posted - was that from Graham Walker? I bought mine from there, and they've been great if I've ever needed to query anything with them. Link to comment

Julian WRX MY93 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 how long do those broquets things last in the petrol tank of a P1??? can you get replacement ones, or do you just use a different additive in the petrol? Link to comment
