NGK PFR7B is the plug of choice. Its a grade cooler than the ones recommended and has been proven time and time again to remain sweeter longer than the fancy iridium ones that cost an arm and a leg.
Set the gap around .65mm
I set the gaps on mine around .68 but that suited my car and level of tuning at the time.
I don't think there is a better value plug out there but its been a couple of years since I did this sort of thing and Im quite sure that if there is a better option someone will correct me.

Your back.
I'm bitterly disappointed however, that your avatar is not the strumming man with the curly hair. You know the trouble it caused the last time you tried to remove it.

Neil,
I can understand your concern. If I was a high profile character such as you, I would be seriously concerned about all my stalkers and interested members of the public planning the invasion of my privacy and stealing such a valuable car.
Im quite sure you are correct to assume that they will also go to the lengths of using satellite imagery and trawl the internet for pictures of a car worthy of stealing only to select from a cast of thousands, your brief.
May I suggest a few security measures you could take in the meantime to bridge the gap until Google remove the picture, obviously avoiding a very costly and public law suit.
1. Don't park there anymore.
2. Employ a Private Security Firm to provide 24hr round the clock protection of the afore mentioned Brief.
3. Employ a Private Security Firm to provide you with Personal Bodyguards so your security is not compromised.
4. Change your name.
5. Wash your hands.
6. Get a life.
7. Smoke your own rod.

Hi Callum. Hope all's going well state side. Coilovers are here, I just need to pick them up from Graeme and install. I'll have Graeme set the geo's on it before your home. Oh I'll order uprated mounts to try and stop the motor climbing out the engine bay
Thanks Stevie,
With the wide wheelbase and size of tyre its prone to severe understeer unless you get it just right. Im sure Graeme will sort it out. Did you ever get the special catch can made we spoke about?

That'll be the same Impreza that shot off the end of the handling track at TOTB and through a fence when the brakes failed?!
I remember George, he worked for Falkland performance centre years ago.
Thats George, infact if I remember correctly George was driving!!
-
Yes it can be and has been done.
CRD did it with their Impreza in 2002 when George Smith was their Mechanic. If anyone knows where he is he could give you the whole story.
I think the main problems he had was alignment needs to be spot on when making brackets, if you are even a bawhair out it will effect break wear and performance.
You will also encounter slightly greater pedal travel as well.
Steve Whitson can make brackets for this conversion.

Hmmm...........I wonder if they will sell this in the USA??

Any decent Japanese car dealers should have the same or similar. most motor factors as well. If they don't have one they can get you one.

been told I can get a GT35-42 on full boost under 4k RPM
My car is fitted with a GT 35-42 and I see full boost just under 4k.

Went out to take the pup for a walk late last night/this morning to find that some
had poured paintstripper all over my car. I have done nothing to my knowledge that has upset anyone but obviously someone either does'nt like me or jelousy has got the better of them as mine was the only one targeted in the street, all i know is that if i find out who it was i will tear the
apart with my bare hands.
took it for a repair estimate today and was told it will be the best part of £3k and 3 weeks off the road
Im absolutely gutted, will post pics later
Thats hellish Karpsy,
For all the years I've known you all I have ever encountered is kindness and good humor. I cannot imagine you doing anything to warrant that.
My first thought is mistaken identity.
Who else has a similar car in your area? Dealers, the boyfriend or husband of an upset woman?
Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn!

Ill bet its fine.
I had the lower pipe split with a stone on that exact engine, same story as you, and the engine is still going strong.
Don't worry be happy.

Their name's wouldent be to hard to learn, most of them tend to be either called Bubba or Hubba
A lot of the guys have scottish second names, and are well aware of why so sometimes Ive just got to be careful when the subject comes up.

I have to be very careful in my line of work when I'm addressing the riggers.
-
I thought the sheep pumpers would have had more to say.
Paul you come from the wrong side of the Forth so I suggest you go and have a bath before you address us all again.

Oh, the banter.
Whilst in Trinidad I was speaking to a man who knew you Dale, he said " Where be da white boy called Dale? he enjoys da big boys wallpaper paste"

It's "FANNIES" BTW
FUK RITE OFF CURLEY!!!

Comments welcome.

I got an action man once
The best gift I have ever had was living when some people around me and who were dear to me died.
Some would say its a burden.
I say it has made me stronger.
-
This is a great idea.

There are goats rampaging in the post. check your box.

Good stuff Davy!
I enjoy reading these projects and look forward seeing what your up to!

Cheers Dunk, found a couple of threads on Scoobynet.
Just need to get the soldering iron looked out now, or find a more confident volunteer.
Dave, Colin (Gaysatan2) extended his led's somehow or lengthened the wiring, Ive seen it in his dash similar to the style shown in the above photo but I never got a look at how he did it, might be worth dropping him a message.

Im putting the whitelines on my car. From the feedback I get from other whiteline owners they are a really good setup.
There was a place in glenrothes restored teins, however I couldnt find them last year and I suspect they went to the wall.
