it does feel like i have slightly less stroke on the pedal and the bite feels slightly higher in the stroke but could well be the placebo effect , I think with braided lines will male a greater improvement
hi I’m wonder if anyone on here can help ,, I want to do the diff and gear oil in the scoob , I’ve got all the fluids that’s fine , motul gear 300 and 300 ls courtesy of opie 👍🏼
but I can’t seem to find out the size of or get hold the drain and inspection hole gaskets / washers anywhere apart from icp and their prices are mental £5 for the gear sump bolt washer ,, I think the gearbox drain hole is an m26 ? Can anyone shed some light on this for me ?

Why 300LS ?? when subaru recommend straight GL-5 oil for gearbox and both front/rear diffs ?
i wasn’t sure if I needed it or not I kept reading different things , it may not be a nessessity but won’t do any harm it could even be better for it . , it is a lsd after all ,
The headgasket went last month, so I have dropped the scooby off at thwaites developments racing in Warwick last week for a forged rebuild, cobra decat downpipe, cosworth panel filter and rcm fuel pump and, once run in, a remap. Place predictions on power outcome please! It already has a 3" cobra system in place, so will be 3" all the way through.

On the stock turbo, 340bhp/350lbft with a bit of luck
I would say maybe a lil more 360ish would be ok , interesting how your going uprated fuel pump , I’m still running the standard one at 415 hp / 415 Lbft I personally would go injectors over fuel pump just future proof the car a lil incase you fancy a bigger turbo at some point

The reason for fitting a new/better fuel pump esp with an increase in power is because the OE one has probably been on the car for a while and are also prone to failure. OE pump is also probably a weaker piece of kit.
You won’t notice the slight failure but can lead to delivering less fuel, car runs lean. Potential to go bang
It was something Mark at tdr and Olly at rcm both said to replace, they suggested that the oem pump after 70k miles is now no longer likely to be performing as well as it was when new. 340 would be good, 360 would be fantastic!

be something I’ll prob look into in the near future , the rcmpump wasn’t available yet when mine was done ,, means getting to car mapped again tho need to think of some other upgrades to go with it , 🤔
it’s a slippery slope tho mate once you get the bug you’ll just want more and more haha
You can just ring your dealer with chassis number and ask have the secondary air pump relay and brake recall been completed at any point
ive had all the secondary air pump and egr removed haha so that one doesn’t bother me as much , but the brakes do no doubt they will probably Pretend they don’t know what I’m talking about..... what are the parts that leak ?
I went to fit the Whiteline rear subframe bush inserts today on my 09 spec C, but they didn't slot straight in, so the spec C appears to have different subframe bushes from the standard hatch. I also have a spare set of Whiteline diff inserts, as mine was already done, if anyone is interested

Not exactly true, it depends when Whiteline developed them.
The hatch STI (inc Spec C) rear subframe was in continual development on the Rev A and Rev B models having 8 different part numbers between 03/2007 when production began and 06/2009 when production finished.
