  1. genral condition is improtant since its going to be used as a track car and any upgrades are easy to get your hands on if your quick on the forsale section.
  2. The shocks are shocking on these. (Sorry couldn't resist it )
  3. Its to do with electronic principal that one strand of wire can only carry 0.5 Amp so the thicker the wire the more individaul strands of wire inside therefore the more Amps it can carry. Impressed myself that time
  4. I had got mine from AWD in perth dont know how much but dont think they where expensive give Andy a call at AWD hell sort it out.
  5. Deffently stick them on here, they probably just need serviced as long as your honest cant see anyone having a problem
  6. Best bets phone round small independants, autoglass are a rip off. they quoted me the same kind of price but managed to get one done for around £100
  7. Sorry to hear that, scum bags just can't see anybody with anything nice. It was probably a couple of wasters cos if they where there to steel the car thay wouldn't bother trying the car they would of tryed to get the keys, as has happened to others on this site. hope they get whats coming to them. B*****DS
  8. The P1's didn't come with a number plaque under the ash tray these where added later by owners. Group buys where run on P1OC. the best way is to check if the chassis plate on the N/S suspension if it has been stamped with the cars number from prodrive. Not all P1's run the engine at 50k there is plenty with over 100k and still no noise never mind engine damage. Mine has 52k and is quiter than most new ones. But the best advice is if in doubt walk away there are plenty of good P1's forsale with the documentation to back them up. Plus 10k is alot for them these days. I couldn't get £7500 for mine, 52k 2 owners full subaru history.
  9. Dont know it, but looks incredable. all that power in a type - r would be mad. As you said the engine bay and spec list is pure porn. Get it bought
  10. Working on my car today was refitting the interior trim, its like the rear door card, but on my P1. It wasnt fitting right so took it off completely and found three black boxes all on there own wiring loom and obviously added to the car. started to trace the wiring and found a trimble GPS device and a wire running outside the car to a thin black plastic square think its an aerial. The three boxes one has ericcson printed on it an aerial coming out off it and a sim card fitted in it, the second is quite heavy and only four wires think its a battery and the third has wires from everything think its a control unit. Now here is the problem what the hell is it? I've owned the car for a year but bought it from a dealer that new nothing about the car to the extent that they didn't know the HKS front mount was an add on. I think it maybe a tracker device hopefully. does anyone recognise this set up please help and if someone does how do I reactivate it?
  11. I looked for ages for free software but in the end i bought software from a company called AVEX. dvd converter works really well and really easy to use and the picture quailty is really good.
  12. count me in, haven't been on in ages been working on car to hard lol . and the 7th suits me too.
  13. Forgot to say, cheers Jamie going to try it that way let you know how i get on.
  14. Jason. mine is a classic with a top mount. Looking forward to seeing what figures it gets. Cheers for organising it.
  15. cheers for the help boys going to just take the box out from below, would like to take the engine out and get the internals sorted but dont think sir arnold would be to happy with an impreza blocking up his ramp for a couple of days going to leave them untill my workshop is up and running. . cheers for the link john, grand told me to go for techniclutch so going to order one now, just the turbo to find now and get it mapped.
  16. Cheers Jamie, i had idea of that kind of money but still confused whether to take the engine out or not. should not be to bad able to do it at work so have all the toys i need...
  17. I've started to mod my car and straight away the clutch f**ked itself on its first test after exhaust and intercooler fitted. I am a mechanic by trade, but with renault so not sure on the best approach to replacing the clutch on my impreza. What would be the best clutch to go for bearing in mind i am aiming for 350 - 400 bhp in the future, so dont want to have to do it again. Oh and where is the best place to get a clutch or can any of yous supply... thanks si....

  19. Sounds good jason would be interested in either star performance or dastek, must say i was at dastek in march and would reconmend them it was a good day and my car should be done soon...
  20. Going to buy new exhaust system but need advice. Replacing from turbo back want it to be loud but still sound like a subaru. Any suggestions (prices and places if poss)...
  21. Best to change the exhaust first then get it re-mapped. By changing the exhaust system you are probably doing away with the cats which will free up quite a considerable amount of power also getting it re-mapped with the new ehaust will be like day and night due to the car being mapped for if you could call it fuel economy and to get it throught the emissions laws when it was sold. So getting it mapped will change this to get the true preformance of the engine. Would recommend exhaust and re-mapped...
  22. Already planned to go on sunday see yous there. Dont want to end up racing the hole way to crail (I'd only get beat ) but hopefully not for much longer.....
