just take the nuts off your engine mounts then jack the engine up!
only jack it up a inch (at most)
and that will give u enough room to get on that last bolt!

I know wymondham but will be on track after that time. Have you tried AP Tuning (APT - Performance tuning specialists in Norwich - With Dyno Dynamics Rolling Road) up in norwich? Tell Gary that I sent you his way and I am sure he will assist you in getting it sorted tomorrow.

Alternatively some of the Norwich Scooby owners may help you out on Welcome to Scoobycity - The Subaru Owners Club

Gary is at the track with me this afternoon but he will help tomorrow I am sure for the right amount of monetary persuasion

Or, Wayland Service Station in Watton - speak to Leigh (scooby owner too) - he is extremely helpful and will have a solution for you.

jack it up on the gearbox with piece of wood on top of the jack for protection! then put a tempory wedge into the gap you create to take the weight of the box a little!
