  1. It was the idle spring in the forge dump valve that had snapped, this is the smaller of the 2 springs and is a cheap fix thanks for the help
  2. So the dump valve could be causing the idling issues? Its a forge dump valve, ill go to halfords tomorrow if I cant get carb cleaner is there anything else I can use
  3. Help folks ive not been on here for a while as the wife is the main driver of the subaru now, I jumped in tonight and anitialy noticed that it wasn't idling properly as the revs were dropping down to about 400rpm then rising to around 1100rpm, also when driving it sounds like the dump valve is hissing when I lift of even at about 1500rpm this never happened before, all ideas welcome on fixing this, I work away from home and im leaving tomorrow night so time is short to fix this, my un educated thought is the dump valve piston has stuck but would this cause the idling problem it an 03 wrx
  4. i can pretty much weld anything if youve got a machine there mig or tig would probs be better, whats to get welded
  5. Anyone, ideally looking for the cat before the back box as it would be easiest to fit thanks
  6. Hi has anyone give me a lone of a cat for a newage I've got a sportscat downpipe but it still failed on omissions
  7. first off all sorry for hyjacking the post, i was wondering if any one could give me info of ngk spark plugs more to the point would heat grade 8 be ok to put on my04 wrx running 320bhp, i bought them spur of the moment without noticing the heat grades, any info would be great thanks
  8. I'd like to here the outcome of this one as I may need to do the same myself
  9. I had a similar problem I think but I'm no expert, it turned out to be the boost control solonoid the car was seriously short on power if you could get a lone of one it takes 5 min to change if its fixed you no whats wrong if not no harms been done
  10. Mcindoe's does do alot of subarus the machanics drive and race them but as stated they are very expensive, saying that I wouldn't recomend extreme either don't rate them at all
  11. Had the similar problem aswell it was the boost control solinoid change it out it was fine for a week then got the same problem changed it out again and its been great that was about 9 months ago, PS the moral is get a shot of one to try it then buy one new
  12. That does seem like alot of cash for the job, I'd defo shop around
  13. Hoping that's the case as the car still pulls like a train when I put the foot down I've checked the oil and water today they're both fine also it isn't overheating
  14. This sounds strange but when using comparison websites this year I was cheaper insuring my car without the tracker so also saved on the registration on that which was a plus
  15. I've noticed recently I'm the mornings when starting my car I'm getting a bit of smoke from the exhaust other than this as far as I can see the car is running fine what do use think I don't know if its more condensation as the car I down to a single sportscat in the downpipe a thoughts welcome

  19. Know idea what knock detection is but think ill stick to the higher octane fuel didn't know there was any risks involved
  20. Hi my car is a 2003 wrx running super, I usually use hi octane fuels but after stopping at a garage that only had 95ron in the snow feeling lazy I filled it anyway that was a month ago and I'm still using 95ron and the car is still running great I've noticed no difference is there any ill effects, the car is running at 320/310 with the usual mods to get this but I always beleived after mapping I'd have to use hi octane fuel which does not seem to be the case,has anyone get any thoughts on this
  21. Thanks again al problem solved as for the naming and shaming I'll leave that just know might just be me I'll wait to see if any one else had had trouble with a garage in the central area
