  1. If anyone has Martin's number, can you PM me it?
  2. Should do mate, but make sure it's completely dry when you do it. Use a heat gun or hair dryer, just to make sure.
  3. Your hearing to many people telling the same old myth and believing it Stephen. There is a lot of things out there which just aren't true. Remember that things have moved on from the days of the classic. Things should be better now... Plenty are still running a full decat with standard ecu, as a remap is simply not needed. I say do yourself a favour and start putting parts together just now, but don't fit them till you have all the bits you want. Then the car, once mapped, will be a bigger performance increase than a gradual one and you'll enjoy it more/it'll scare you more. []
  4. I'd have thought so too. IMHO, your fitting a few parts here that don't need a remap, so consider sticking with the panel filter till you are fitting a couple of parts that are in need of a mapping session. I'll ALWAYS say, the standard ecu's are a great thing. People were surprised at how i got over 320 hp out a standard Subaru ecu. Little do they know, and you can ask him if you like, Andy got over 420 hp on a standard Subaru ecu.
  5. Did you guys SEE what time i typed that at?! I'd only been up 5 mintues! []
  6. Ok, problem 1:- get the gearbox to a specialist for them to repair/renew the centre diff. Problem 2:- sounds more like the spark is breaking down, than the usual fuel cut. You don't say what year of car you have? If it's an early scoob, the coil packs are probably breaking up. Newer car, and it could still be either plugs or leads.
  7. Lol at Kenny. Not done a few Peter, as i don't go there no more. [] I'll stick with the good old proven 2 bolt jobbie....as long as they are of decent quality. []
  8. Andy, do yourself a favour and get it checked first! I do this stuff for a living people and a lot of the time i go out to non-starts it is the battery, but all is well when it's properly charged!
  9. Is it defo a 3 bolt jobbie? If so, you'll need to lift the engine out the cradle to get it in, then you have the fun of tightening up the 3rd bolt nearest the head. Damn i do so love scoobs! [8-)]
  10. Looks good as per Kenny, but errrrrrrrrrrrrrr "up-pipe"? Why isn't it on just now? Hoping you haven't gone and got yourself that naughty 3 bolt up-pipe!? [] Oh and i have that special clutch alignment tool here. Would have saved you some time........and of course listening to John dribble on. []
  11. Car's use power sitting there with nothing on. Stuff like your clock, or the wee red light that flashes for your immobiliser, will always drain your battery and at this time of the year, most people jump into their car, turn the stereo on, turn the blower on full, turn the heated rear window on, turn the lights on and expect the battery to be charged for the next time....no. Get out into the car during the day, take it for a 40 minute drive, then go to Kwickfit or the likes and ask them to do a full battery check on it. It shouldn't cost you anything and they will soon be able to tell you if it's knacked. Batteries last 4-5 years on average, so i'd think it's just not getting used enough to charge it up properly.
  12. As long as it's for a Turbo Impreza, yes they all fit. Zerosports is defo the way to go. []
  13. Depends IMHO on how you drive the car. For an everyday car, the top mount is more than adiquite[sp?], but if you inend on track days or quarter mile stuff, than yer a front mount is best. You don't say what year of car you have??
  14. drb5

    thanks

    Excellent Alan. Thanks for letting us know. [H]
  15. And i've still got about 3-4 bottles left fromthe last time i bought some! [] God i really don't use the car enough. []
  16. I touch goats Turboedd
  17. You should able to get a good understanding from the advert or if you phone them, the detail the seller can tell you. Same as buying any other car really, do your homework. What's your budget, as mine is still for sale? []
  18. I undersatnd now bud. You should be able to get a standard downpipe cheap enough if you wanna do that? You can get decat downpipes for about £80+ secondhand mind you...
  19. Performance wise, don't bother, unless he fits a full turbo engine and running gear. Looks, he can make it look like a turbo no problem. Ebay has loads of uses. []
  20. It's prolly not a CAT mate, but a silencer. Surprised it's got a hole in it, if it's stainless steel though? Might be mild steel which is easier to weld...
  21. The turbo sounds fairly new to comment too much on it. Not saying i know all about turbo's, but i hadn't heard anyone mention the 321T before a 3-4 months ago. Recently there have been a few turbo's that come with quoted figures and don't reach them.
  22. More like... then it went...
  23. Lol, you should have seen my face. []
  24. Hope you phoned the guy, first line of the description please do not bid winning bidder will received a nut Gettin it all for £100. [H]
