Nothing much happened lately apart from breaking my 6speed box.... Should be going In for. A repair soon along with the 2.5 being dropped in.

New Kaylan mudflaps and neo chrome nuts added and a clean before the nbo

Not sure but after speaking to a few reputable places seems my centre diff is gone as the back wheels are locking up on full lock... Supose that's the chance you take with 2nd hand boxes and not knowing how they've been treated

Interesting. I thought it was going to be a synchro issue or similar. Hope it isn't too much to sort

Cheers mate but I think it's going to cost in the region of £800-900 to get right.... Bit of a kick in the teeth but it's just one of those things..

Ok so just got back from picking this up, idea is for this to be the daily whilst the impreza gets some love with a new engine whilst having the gear box centre diff fixed...

Couple of pics will get some better ones up when I have time to fit the black xxr...





Cheers Andy and good to see you again buddy

Thanks Martin not driven the impreza since I got this, really does make me smile although not as quick has a different edge to the drive.... Trying to stay away from upgrades for this one but not sure how long that's going to last lol

Looking good mate and bad luck with the box.

My mates centre diff has just gone aswel on his 03 blob sti. Rear wheels lock up when steering wheel is turned either side. His car is actually in the garage atm getting repaired. Quote was £700 all in inc labour so not too too bad.

Cheers buddy, sounds exactly the same as what's happening to mine too... Saving a few pennies before it goes to be repaired and hopefully have the engine done at the same time... Keep us posted on how your mates box goes mate

Hi mate I'm good thanks how's things up your end? Yes some more spending to do, have a new daily runner which I've given into and started to collect bits for aswell lol...

Need to speak to Alyn about the engine then have that dropped in with the gear box fixed at the same time... In the mean time I think a genome exhaust is coming next....
