What ever bodys insurance like for there impreza .Phoning around tonight and got a qoute of £749 pound from Adrian flux and asked why its as high as that and person on phone says subaru's are getting stolen.Thats new one to me.Well Aplan who i am with are £255 but still have a £500 excess that what it was when i had a my00 uk turbo .You think you get older insurance would come done not go up .Will give Aplan a phone and see if they can sharpen there pencil a bit ie lower qoute .

If you subscribe to Japanese performance magazine have you got your magazine yet.I phoned them up on Monday last week its been sent out but nothing at my end yet .

I was hoping to avoid taking it to a garage right before xmas and hoping it may be something that i could replace myself, going on what i have described would it be worth changing the thermostat? is there a test i can do on the one i take out to see if thats the problem? i will more than likely get it to a garage after xmas if i can't solve it myself.

Any ideas on the interior fans? what to check/replace?

Stick your thermostat in a cup of boiling hot water and see if it opens and if your getting a burning smell from your fan have you checked to see if the fan is turning freely and not siezed up

any ideas how much a remap is for 95 ron fuel and wheres the best place to have this done?? Im assuming that around the 300bhp mark will be the safe limit for regular unleaded.

Oops what happened to using ratchet straps on the front end

There was a program on tv that tested all the main octaine boosters o. A number of cars in lab conditions, one of the cars being tested was a 2005 sti. The short of the story was none of the octain boosters made any difference to standard fuels. The conclusion of the tests was no increase on bhp figures and no performance gains. Waste your money if your that way inclined.

It was fifth gear and they never tested NF octane booster and any of the millers octane booster's .Just the stuff you see in halfords and to the main poster regards the 2.5 in the uk/euro Sti having a bad rep for problems best bet to remap for using lower octane fuel

I was a paid up member from 04 before i was a member on sidc site .I did not renew mine because i stopped using the garage i used to use after x amount of years to get the 10% discount and the last 2 years just paid it to support the club and sorry i was not a fan of true grip and sidc would of saved money ever time you renwed your membership you got more stickers and another copy of true grip that i all ready had .Regards membership if it was reduced you maybe get more members .Thats my opinion .Kevin

Congratulations to Sti Pretender,Glyn,Dale

I had a look at the boot hinge layout in the sti i have and its totaly different to the way yours is .

There is wear in the black spring bar you can see it in the picture .The hinge bracket can be welded and buffed up so you can't see the weld good as new and a spray with the same grey undercoat subaru use job done

Sounds good with the exhaust system.There very quiet with the standard exhaust system all i hear is VF37 on the Jdm Sti and Standard dump valve

Thats a fast way of getting to the ground fall ah ah

Glyn its only gone up 1p in Dundee 1.24litre .The Shell at the Scott fyfe roundabout has buy 5pounds worth of stuff in the shop and get 2p a litre of

welcome along.

regards engine it pretty much depends on budget and how modified you want to go.

the short blocks are pretty much interchangable through out the years. if you are intending track work then some early stis/ra had closed deck blocks but then newages have stronger rods. if its second hand newage take note if it had twin scroll turbo as sump is different but only needs swapping over. The sump is different on twin scroll turbo's 03 Jdm Sti onwards because of equal length headers

if you are changing for a long engine then it gets more tricky as different age heads use related manifolds. Can be done but then you have to modify wiring loom as manifold sensors vary etc.

im sure some of the more technical folk will be able to answer your questions a lot better when the time comes though.

road tax is strange thought if it was jdm import it would be plg road tax £190 a year?

£245 for mine

Like every body else thats a earlier version Jdm Sti not 05 and its first reg march 05???.The first reg for mine is march 05 and its a 05 Jdm with the flared rear wheel arches and how's that car classed as a uk DVLA made a mistake.
