run them well beyond knowing its gone but have never once been able to feel play by wobbling the wheel. take the brake pads/shoes out, refit the wheels, then wobble and its a whole different matter.... importcarparts have never failed to deliver quickly. i usually strip the hub/knuckle and take it to local garage for bearing to be pressed out/in.

pads and discs will definatly need replaced. perhaps discs had seen better days anyway, less metal easier to get glowing.

good to hear and that the car passed lol. just kent cause i use to have an old four plugged ecu car and did consider options avaliable at the time. chip would have been ok the now as it was running rich but i just personally wouldnt run an unknown map. better to be safe than sorry. nice to see youve sourced an airbox too. tbh russels post, as always, would identify the actual issue.

aye been a while min, was the car still attracting unwanted attention?

have you rechecked codes since resetting to see if maf code has reappeared? i would ditch the zerosports chip as its probably mapped for 100ron and very aggresive. no need to source another ecu, just remove chip inside and resolder resister j1, it will be the one cut. regards overfuelling if plugs are ok, i would change lambda for universal three wire bosch one as they are not dear and being fitted in early jap location of headers its probably had a fair heat up anyway.

id come along for a nosey but wouldnt be going on.

i give up. and thats the revised post

should fit if your current exhaust is indeed standard and new pipe is indeed of another classic and 2.5". its only four bolts and exhaust hanger anyway.

wow thats a short life. even with gorilla fitting techniques i would of expected a lot longer than that. was bearing changed using a press and did they change seals and circlip afterwards? if first bearing was gone and not noticed quick enough they damage the hub and new bearing wont sit right. lost count of how many subaru wheel bearings me and my folks have had replaced over the years.

just browsing parts for sale and saw this: http://bbs.scoobynet.com/private-sale-gene...ic-upgrade.html dont know if v3/v4 from v1/v2 is much of a difference for cost though.

has it got numbers or is it chinese one?

4 door v6 wrc limited or for 2 door v6 type r

im not suprised they cant get it adjusted, there is only toe adjustment on standard rear setup. are you sure you need a new hub? sounds like a set of camber bolts should do the trick. did they only have probs with the drivers rear, what the score with passanger rear?

if the hub is not true would it not just maybe need the wheel bearing done. did lasers go on hub or around wheel/tyre? perhaps a buckled wheel. if its lack of adjustability there are no camber adjustment bolts on the rear struts as standard. if you have coilovers fitted it has probably changed the camber. you can retro fit camber bolts if needed though.

nairn to grantown, any/all roads through dufftown, mulben to craigellachie, over the lecht. pretty much any road as long as you keep away from red routes and tourists.

aye aye min, just nae long home for my tea. its a good job it wasnt maf as uk car has different maf than wrx,sti. glad to see you got it sorted.

i have no problem with you setting up your own forum. what i found very hard to believe was that you set up under the same name with a different .bit i would of though it would have at least needed a search to see if domain was vacant or in use which surely would have shown up this forum as part of the result. which other way could it then be percieved as. i could only see confusion between the two sites as who remembers the .bit after seeing some of the branded gear on folk at rallies, meets etc. it appears that a solution has been mooted with your good grace so apologies on my behalf.

ah our gear that imy sorted out for us has scottish scoobies on it. plagarism and poaching members, what a fanny.

when was fluid last replaced? hows the thickness of the discs?

take it there is a good weight saving ditching factory master. ive never understood why factory unit needs to be so big, does the wee master push enough volume to be effective?

very nice. did you keep your original fittings etc to reuse? as they are a fair price for all they are. got a brand new set here waiting to be painted too.

pretty straight forward. you will have to remove rubber gromit on backplate and wind hand brake adjuster all the way slack before removing discs. dont under any circumstances use brute force or wind bolts into disc as you will just **** up yer handbrake shoes $ springs etc. once new brakes are on bleed and wheel back on before lowering car wind up adjuster till wheel binds then slacken off a notch or two till wheel is free to rotate.

thats what i was thinking. just tried it out of curiosity.

facelift grill is different shape at end to meet flush with facelift lights. i take it your car is pre 96. 96-98 or 98-00 would suit but theres a slight change in design with botton lip protruding more on later cars. i think acid was running his old green car with facelift grill and non facelift bonnet but i canny mind right. may have been other way about. send him a pm and see if it fitted alright.

i tried we buy any car for my pals x reg wagon with 106K on the clock. offer price was just over 2K. it wasnt as bad as i thought. going to try private sell for just a wee bit more. were changes in road tax scheme just postponed for a year? they will probably bring it back soon to try and get more coffers to make an insignificant +ve on the billions they have dished oot. wonder if pre 2001 car would be more desirable as a result?
