I like it very nice looking bug

My depo 4in1 - oil pressure and temp, volts and boost

No great plans just enjoy it I am sure there will be a few bits added over time though

Greenlight for me and my circumstances - every time

here we go, marmite wheels

Just seen this- what a brilliant set up What's your project then?

I have been on a similar hunt and whilst online can be useful, I found word of mouth & keeping my eyes open for little to let signs to be much more fruitful

Thought I should officially introduce myself, as you can see I have been a member since 09 when I bought my first classic. I am planning to spend a bit more time here on sidc I am from Lancashire , it seems pretty quiet in that section on the website (north west) - are there many NW members? Pete

Hi, I run shell helix 5w40 fully synth, the last 2 oil changes I have bought it from euro car parts when they were doing their 30% off offer, the bonus is delivery is included - all for £26 I think it might still be running but you will have to check. I believe it was one of the recommended oils by Subaru too to not 100%

No problems that I can see on the face of it, but see my other thread - I have had increased popping with the warmer weather which has made me a bit paranoid. I am refitting the mid pipe cat shortly

You have 3 cats in the system however you can run with just the downpipe cat and pass the mot. The other cats are in the up-pipe and centre section - these can be removed with no MOT issues. This is how mine is currently running (no remap) - 2002 WRX.

Sorry but that advert is enought to put me off "I am imprezzed!" also sounds like he has been giving it plenty of beans!

Import car parts do them too

^^ opinions are split on dump valves (or chav horns as some people call them :-) ) I have had a DV in the past when i bought my 2003 WRX, i took it off and have never looked back really. Thats just my opinion though. Specifically re the baileys - i have read they can leak boost. also not sure if there would be a fitment issue with it not coming from a Impreza.

We were replacing the pads on my mates so the calipers needed to come off anyway. Our method for removal was (with the caliper still attached) was to use a socket / small extension bar on the end of the pin and try tapping it out,this will possibly deform the end of the pin BUT will get it moving enough (away from the car) to allow you to hacksaw behind the head of the pin. Once you have hacksawed the head of the pin off you can then hit the pin the other way back out the way it came (towards the car). This method worked sucessfully on all 4 pins. Hope this helps

Very nice scooby

^ yeah of you are just doing pads and not discs, soak the hell out of the two pins top and bottom and carefully knock these out, this will allow you to remove the pads. A word of warning I have just done this on my mates 4 pots and all 4 pins were scrap by the end because they were very difficult to remove because of corrosion. You can buy replacement ones should you need to

oops i do now that i am on the laptop - was on the phone earlier!

Spotted this today , tend to see it occasionally and it was only this time I saw it close up and noticed the sidc sticker - very nice car !

Hi welcome , I am also from accy sorry I can't shed any light on your switch query though Pete

yeah its easy on the scoob, i just pushed back in my slightly siezed one with an socket extension to make it easier I am used to using a windback tool on my old italian cars
