  2. Todays job was fitting the front mount intercooler I bought in the black Friday sales luckily managed to get it finished before the rain passed down but a job for tomorrow or Wednesday is to de tango the lights and paint the insides black

    Does anybody know the size of the pipe for the recirculation part of the dump valve as im not happy with the old pipe an want to order some longer pipe in silicone

  4. Having issues with the gauges I fitted the oil pressure gauge is reading 100psi when idling ive got 

    Red to switch live

    Black to earth

    Green to sender 

    Sender fitted to the original pressure switch under the alternator

    Any help much appreciated

  5. Debsp555 it cost a £60 manicure for the boss an a lot of sweets for the kids for a 2 day job just glad removing them didn't damage the paint work which the previous owner paid £340 for the sticker an fitting

  6. Insane clown bloody hell thats not good about the forester never a good thing seeing your old car in a poor state

    I wanted a blob sti but just didn't have the funds for one an seen the wrx300 cheap so went for that, the missus calls it the mistress the amount of money an time ive spent on it since owning it but she doesn't moan when she's out in it

    Welcome mate, sounds like you have a plan!, looks nice?

    Yes hoping next year we can get to some events, was hard to do a few year ago as I was employed, but been self employed for 7 years now and loving it... Time to play?

    Although driving a 21 year old forester!, 

    My plan is to get it running around the 400 mark with a 6 speed conversion but not going to rush it I know they are temperamental as its my 13th one don't know if its stupidityor what keeps drawing me back to owning a scooby, it has its issues but don't they all so want to get it looking and performing well its been looked after there's just stupid little bits thats not been done right im the 2nd owner.

    Shows an events this year have been messed up due to this stupid virus roll on next year ?

  8. Thought while the sun was out i would swap the gauges the car already came with an oil pressure an boost gauge but they were in bar so swapped them for some gauges in psi (they were straightened after the photos were taken), also ripped out some dodgy wiring how the car has not gone up in flames I don't know live wire from the battery to the gauges rubbing on the body and random wires going from the radio, cigarette sockets bare wires going to know were so spent 3hrs rilping wires out and rewiring the car
