I do feel for you, I've been looking for insurance recently and it's a joke then add the fact that fuel has just gone up again

living on your own must make it even more difficult for you, I'm currently looking into getting a second job so that I can earn some extra cash and get some extra qualifications too.

I hope things work out for you pal as it's gutting when you have to give up something that you work so hard for

Guys well Im going as well. I just can't get insured now that I have been shafted hard. No insurance company will toch me. I only use the car twice a month if that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No claims no nothing.

I know I will never be able to buy a subaru again. It hurts thinking about it.

If by some chance someone knows something that I don't and can get insurance then pm or something. But as it stands it is going up on sale tomorrow.

Its been a great run so far and loved it but will be sad to go but what can I do.

no doubt you'll miss it but maybe you will afford one in the future but at least you will never have to regret not getting one

sorry to hear this pal but it's becoming a common thing unfortunately, I'm guessing you're 22 and living in Birmingham? how come you have no no claims bonus?

Quick question, harvey ported or gt spec with harvey uppipe?

I have the ported at the moment but wondering if its worth going tubular, will i see any benefits? Done a search and cant find any true comparisons between the two.

Harvey himself normally says below 400bhp use the ported. Tubular you will lose some spool and have more up top power.

I'm very happy with my ported manifold...

Ive got to find this problem with my car with it being down on power, that needs sorting so I'm not sure if to just go front mount and tubular and just go for it power wise or just get the initial problem fixed. Question is do I really want to take the car above 400 as that wasn't the original plan plus it means chopping up my prodrive bumper which I'm reluctant to do. bought the headers now but just don't know if to fit them?? decisions decisions. Wish i had just bought a twin scroll now and pushed for 360 and be done with it lol.

Wasn't yours an ebay special though? The previous owner had very good gains from this turbo, just cant work out why I'm not?? Bought some headers this morning, 3" exhaust next and maybe front mount....... one last tweek on this turbo and then if its still no good its to become a very expensive door stop.


Where are the pics H? your loyal subjects await scooby ****!!
