I was gonna say that this morning but I thought it would of been rude of me haaaa

 

Who's keeping track lol,,, to be honest iv got no clue what iv spent on it so far but I know it's worth it lol

 

Deffo Dom your car is unreal bud

 

Thanks mate that's always good to hear ,, yours is a thing of beauty aswell

 

Pilot Sport 4 fitted, they feel great so far, should get even better when scrubbed in.

 

Aawww shucks ....... you guys

 

Got a soft spot for a nice wr blue one aswell

 

I feel loved again!

So many lovely examples on this thread. I've fitted my Perrin radiator shroud tonight and most of the Rallytech bolt kit, so just waiting for my intercooler cover to arrive from the States and then it's time to forge.

If I can get somewhere near to your performance Domino I'd be ecstatic.

 

To be honest I thought I'd only get around 450 from my current turbo so I was ecstatic with those numbers aswell

 

So im looking now at replacing bushes on the car, i know i can go aftermarket etc, but looking to see what bushes where upgraded during the facelift saloon/hatch launch which supposedly got Spec C setup

Bushes im interested in are:-
Front wishbone - front bush - 12
http://opposedforces.com/parts/impre...nt_suspension/

Rear subframe - chassis mounts

Rear hub assembly parts 5 & 8
http://opposedforces.com/parts/impre...llustration_1/


Was there revised version & different part numbers as opposed forces doesnt show later years

 

The three bushes you mention remain the same throughout, although the

"bushing transverse link front" (item 12) originally 20204AJ000 is superceded by 20204AG030

The 4 rear subframe bushes are only obtainable with the subframe which has a different part number for MY11 onwards.

The main change is the pillowball front transverse link rear bearing (items 1,3 and 9 ) as against the original rubber bush. (I think this requires a complete link replacement?? and later cars only have the one rear headlight leveling sensor - no front one)

Rubber bush


PillowBall minus dust cover

Also:

Front ARB 20 becomes 21mm dia

Rear ARB 18 becomes 19mm dia

 

Brilliant Don, mucho appreciated for the detailed information

 

Has anyone got an air snorkel lying around for a WRX-S, mine has been cracked since I got it and I don't think Ill be going down the induction route with this one

A few of mine from todays Ormskirk Motor Fest ;-)

 

Hi everyone,

Thinking off buying a set of 19" alloys for my hatchback Impreza sti. What effect will it have from the 17" standard alloys? I.e. Handling/performance.

Any thoughts appreciated

 

Went out tonight to move car so I could get other car in for a quick wash. After idling for a few minutes the dash liite up light a Christmas tree.

Recently fitted a turbo back exhaust and cai and waiting to head to Andy forest next week.

Codes just related or have I got a possible issue to sort quickly?

Cheers
Phil

 

i run 245/35/19's on GT2's... it looks brill.. but after 17s its a harder ride, tram lines in lorry road ruts easier.

i use 17s for winter.. its a nicer ride.. but looks pants

 

ooooooooooooooooh, when you say recent, when? & how many miles you ran it with those bits fitted and not mapped to the car?

 

P0031 - Oxygen (A/F) Sensor Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1 Sensor 1)

This relates to A/F sensor in the manifold

P0037 - HO2S Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1 Sensor 2)

This relates to O2 sensor at the end of the down pipe (if still fitted)

Check the wiring/connectors to both.

 

I had these issues
Decatted from off boost to mapper 250 miles lights lit up like xmas
Had mapped told front af sensor had packed up at end of mapping
Fitted that erased codes all good

Sound to me you had same issue as me the front lambda needs replacing

 

Would be lucky if I've done 20 miles since fitting it all. Trying to avoid using it all together

 

That's that I was hoping is the issue, where did you source a replacement from and what was the damage. Will check all wiring anyway just as a precaution.

 

Direct from Subaru 4 weeks a ball ache

 

You prob got the codes on due to cat/s been removed the mapper can erase codes and map
Up
I was grand then the front sensor decided to die
Get the codes erased n mapped reckon u be fine

 

How's it effect performance compared to the 17" alloys? Thinking rolling weight compared to a smaller lighter wheel/acceleration etc etc etc

Thanks for your time

 

Cheers raggy

Hopefully your right, will find out next week either way I suppose

Phil

 

Picked up gearknob from MY05-07 STI as i prefer the styling with the red stitching in it - surprisingly though its only about half the weight of the std hatch sti ****

i know all about the pro's/con's of weighted shift rods & ***** etc but i wonder subaru felt the need to change it for the hatch

anyhow ill see how different it feels over coming days/weeks. cant remember the gear throw being a big issue in my old Spec D

 

Was to give the feel of smoother engagement, I believe there were internal changes to the gearbox also.

 

yeah id read they done away with the internal oil pump in the gearboxes for the hatch 6sp onwards
