Well done to robert (wrxbob) for having the most powerful car on the rollers.
I didn't get everybody's torque figures but I know Aaron's 2.5 pulled some good torque.
Nice 1 folks

Another vote here for Kinghorn bodyshop. I am friends with 1 of the son's and I had a repair done by the other son and it was a cracking repair they did
Craig, if its just that theres one part of you thats just dying to own an evo then just go and do it.
I did as I always wanted one. Had it 5 months (if that) then sold up to get another impreza. Least I can say I've done the evo thing now.
Both scoobies and evo's are wonderfully fast cars, both have many differences. One thing for sure will be that subaru burble
How about you sell your car for a bugeye STi. spend some money on the cosmetics and throw a couple of grand at the engine and you've suddenly got a beast of a car in your hands

MOT station washing your car, that'll be the only place that does that then
50 hours cleaning a car, thats some commitment you got there mate. Keep up the good work

Some nice pics there guys.
My first trackday and what a blast I had. Car was running ok although I seem to be overboosting now and that only started happening today so I'm going to have to investigate that one before something goes wrong.
Very nice to meet some new faces today, I'll no doubt be back for some more action.
Can't wait to see this vid

Old diff is going back in, so at least i can go to knockers and have fun breaking a diff, you never know it may not break just yet
When I come to change the diff again, I'll be making sure I have the tools to swap the flanges.
Thanks for your help playsatan
Trying the breaker on the flange nut just now (the new one thats on the car).
Chances on getting someone with an airgun at this time of night..or even in the morning before knockers is very slim.
Thought about drilling in situ but dont think i have the space to get the drill in.
Cheers, I've tried and tried to take the nut off the flange on my old diff and can't get it, havnt got an airgun.
I did think about drilling the holes but i wasnt sure if that was safe or not.
The flanges are the same size. Just the holes that are slightly out.
Dilemma...
Put old diff back in and probably break it tomorrow at knockers...
or drill holes to fit...
or somehow get old flange off!
Whats the best option? Drill?
Got ma replacement diff today, 5pm.
Been fitting it tonight and I'm stuck with joining the propshaft back onto the diff flange. The holes don't quite line up.
I know there is R180 and R160 rear diff's.
The car is a MY98 type R, the prop shaft flange holes are slightly smaller than the replacement diff flange holes. When i say smaller, I mean the holes are slightly more inwards (not physically smaller).
What do I need to do to fix this? Can I take my old diff flange off and put it straight onto the new diff?? (I have tried taking it off but I'm struggling without a vice).
The original receipt for the diff says it is a "Type R 4.4 diff comp"
I'm starting to worry that the diff is going to be the wrong one, since the flange holes dont line up right.
Help please anyone
