Who here owns a Subaru?

No idea how it happened, I was on the motorway so I'm guessing that a bolt came loose and a stone or something hit it.

Either way Mark will sort me another one out for £100 and this time I'll use some 3m tape to glue AND bolt it.

And then your bumper will get ripped off at the same time

I want to up the power of my STi to approx. 330BHP... what clutch would you recommend getting?

ScoobyDoo69 · 12 Sep 2012 at 15:54

Change it when you need to, e.g. when it slips. Until then don't worry

Enfield · 12 Sep 2012 at 15:57

It judders every now and then, it's rather annoying.

Car has done 72k

ScoobyDoo69 · 12 Sep 2012 at 16:08

If it judders it may just have uneven parts on the clutch plate. Give it a couple of good launches with a bit of clutch slip. Should sort it.

If not, I can thoroughly recommend the Exedy Organic clutch. Mine has been amazing.

Enfield · 12 Sep 2012 at 17:07

It was the first and only launch that I did that caused it... I think.

Is that the pink box one with anti-judder?

What about the flywheel, I read somewhere that you have to get it skimmed or something. Have you upgraded yours?

Walbro, HRC or SWRD fuel pump - what do you have?

ScoobyDoo69 · 12 Sep 2012 at 17:12

Yup anti-judder.

Flywheel, mine is just skimmed.

Fuel pump is currently walbro, changing to either a new walbro or HRC shortly as part of a refresh.

70k/72k mile service - why do these two places differ so much in the parts they replace and which looks correct?

If it does it only when cold, ignore it. They all do this. The standard clutch can take 330bhp. If it absolutely has to be replaced, the best is AP racing, but probably excessive for your needs.

Enfield · 12 Sep 2012 at 18:37

OK, I've leave the clutch then till it starts slipping.

Can you clarify something - does the Type UK have a cat in the downpipe?

ScoobyDoo69 · 12 Sep 2012 at 22:00

Yes.

If it's PPP'd then it has a sports cat.

I have a 2006 wrx wagon and just put a downpipe on my car, definitely the best bang/buck mod.

Sounds good.

Just saw you getting a telling off at Santa pod, kosta. Your face when she told you was priceless.

Anyone have a buyers guide for a 2007 hawkeye wrx sti? Seriously considering selling the frs for one of these!

Funny you mention that, as someone put that video up on Facebook not realising it was me! My face was like

as I had no idea that I would add a good 10mph to my 1/4mile trap speed from my remap. I was very happy!

My opinion? Don't bother. Get a 2005 UK car, or find a JDM hawkeye if you really want the hawkeye looks.

I really really really don't like the 2.5 engines unless they have been rebuilt and remapped by a reputable specialist.

1CE · 19 Sep 2012 at 11:45

Cheers for the opinion, i take it the 2.5 would be higher tax too? 2005 would that be a blob eye?

lol @ that vid

Cheers,

Ben.

ScoobyDoo69 · 19 Sep 2012 at 11:48

You are right. The hawkeyes are pretty much all in the higher tax band, simply due to their manufacture date. 2005 would indeed be a blobeye too.

Frozennova · 19 Sep 2012 at 14:23

I did saw the video on Facebook but didn't look at the comments, as I was on my phone.
