Hi all,

I have a 2006 WRX Type UK that I bought earlier this year and am enjoying a lot, however I have very little paperwork for it which makes me doubt how it's been maintained. I seem to have an invoice from a company named Slowboy Racing for some oil and a power map (no details of that, so unsure if there are actually any gains - if anything it feels a bit lumpy at times!) but no filters etc from December 2017, and that's about it.

My thought is that I should play it safe and have the car serviced (I assume it's just a regular service, or do Imprezas usually like something special? I hear they should always have a very good quality oil), but as this is my first Impreza I'm not sure what else I should be looking to have completed?
It's done around 81k miles, and the only modifications I'm aware of are a Forge dump valve, sports cat and some kind of aftermarket exhaust (I was told it might be Japspeed, but I don't know how to confirm).

Thank you very much, do you think cambelt should also be done?

I'd also add to that a cambelt change. ICP do some good kits. I'd buy a full kit with belts and pulleys, cost about £150 plus labour £300 mark. Not cheap but if you don't do it and your belt goes then say good bye to your engine.

Thanks, yeah it adds a fair bit to the cost, but as you say - an engine will be a lot more!

You may find binning the forge dump valve and replacing it with a standard recirc one will fix the rough running.

Thanks, that does mean no noise though, I'll consider it

Slowboy Racing is a legit shop, in West Kingsdown just near Brands Hatch in Kent.
