hi everyone
just thought id say hi as this is my first post, finally got me first subaru after dreaming about owning one since passing me test 5 years ago, didnt think it would be this expensive to keep on the road though, its a L reg wrx version 2 jap import,in black with a purple metalic flip? only had it 4 weeks and after the first week i had a new cluch, full new howard,scot exhaust with decat, new power steering pump, new rear calipers and pads, and new spark plugs, totaling just over 2 grand! so ive had to kiss good by to me new wheels and plate for a while till i save up, anyway hope you lot can help me with any probs i get along the way, i'll try post some pics of me car soon,
cheers dave.

:( thats alot to spend straight away,

where did you get your car from???

dave_wrx_320 06 December 2003 10:48 PM

brought it private, i new the exhaust would have to be changed but didnt think it was gonna be £800 for a full system, then just after i had that fitted it started going wrong! :(

Hope you're either certain it's been properly remapped or are running it on the right petrol (Optimax + the correct amount of a good octane booster), else you could be putting yourself in line for another expensive repair job!

£800 for a full exhaust :eek:
they saw you coming

dave_wrx_320 07 December 2003 10:48 AM

yeah i'm running it on optimax with octaine booster, it was mapped in febuary this year as i have the recipt to prove, but its going to b&d engineering next saturday to be rolling road tuned and remapped, you think 800 for a full decat exhaust with 5 inch tail pipe is expensive then? thats fitted by the way. :confused:
