......yet until I feel comfortable with the purchases by better word of mouth and general performance as its not all in the names of brands etc.

Plus cleaning the car was a project as it needed the tlc and wanted to show it off like a proper little lifestyler ;)

i love the project threads and enjoy reading them, i was just hoping to see some of the parts fitted to the car thats all.

local skidder 17 April 2013 08:00 PM

No worries.

tubbytommy 17 April 2013 08:08 PM

sorry i need to ask this though, you say above "until I feel comfortable with the purchases by better word of mouth and general performance as its not all in the names of brands etc."


who told you a dump valve was a good idea on an impreza? also you have a cheap one too that already is leaking boost due to sticking.

why did you glue your oil cap down?? they dont leak at all and how will you change the oil or top it up??

has the car been mapped for that induction kit too as looking at your engine its a standard wrx one and the induction kit is pointless at that power and the standard airbox will be better.

All very fair points. If you read my posts on the dump valve I hate them as they sound awful and Barry boyish.

My oil cap isn't glued down there's apparently a common leak on the metal try that appears on these so Simon at Cadman garage advised me that they are probe to leaking so he glued where they are probe to leak. ( not the actual oil cap as yes that would be ridiculous.

And no it's not been mapped yet as the previous owner was an older generation gentleman and bought what looked like a rip speed filter which is coming off as its rusty and just not up to it, ill probably put a standard one on there for now until I decide what engine upgrades I'm after, turbo, fmic, injectors, headers, mani, block, etc etc will all come In time once I have some spare change.

Then a remap will come once all is ready to go.

Tbf I'm allways like this instead of doing one thing at a time I tend to do everything at once.

Main thing ATM is freshening it up and getting a good service done (clutch and timing belt change)

Hope this helps

Ps all these mods were already on the car when I picked it up.

hill79 18 April 2013 11:34 AM

Christ, some people just love pissing on other peoples chips don't they? :cuckoo: Plenty of the project threads start with the car getting a wash and a bit of chatter about future plans, nowt wrong with that.

Stud size? 1.25.

local skidder 18 April 2013 12:02 PM

cheers for the stud size hill79 :)

Nic k 18 April 2013 06:18 PM

He's just a nay sayer that's all, I understood where your coming from, just gauging your ideas as this is your first subaru and are a little under knowleged when it comes to mods etc. you have stated glueing the oil cap but what you meant was the header tank has a small leak and he glued it for you as he did mine ;-)

local skidder 18 April 2013 06:23 PM

Balls the header tank that's right. You gotta show us some more bits tonight Aswell dude as this boxer engine is weird lol

local skidder 18 April 2013 10:45 PM

Deffinatly different haha. It's the brides I'm more interested in as I've had the cobra the sparcos and want something a bit more classy with this one.


I even had what looked like a pilot cross hawkings chair
http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o...s/f02cdd3b.jpg

That thing keeped me stuck I and killed my back.
Not good in a daily skid car!!!

These worked a lot better and were ultra low like they pretty much bolted straight to the floor

So yea will be looking at brides but prob next year :)

M444GY 21 April 2013 06:12 PM

local skidder 01 May 2013 08:51 PM

Well here's an update.

http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o...ps44dc26b3.jpg


Some very tidy bcs from the lads at scooby parts. (Top guys)

Pleased with the product although the cogs are too stiff for me to undo ATM so will update with some shots later in the week :)

Other than that I've taken off the the side skirts for some standard ones painted white which are in the process of paint and should look a bit cleaner.

Next up will be wheels or a full exhaust as I'm not keen on ovals mongoose systems.

local skidder 02 May 2013 12:02 PM

Are Kyb suspension standard with imprezas? As ill be selling these if anyone's interested. Possible to swaps depending on what it is :)
