[So My AT Just Died..]

Even if it wasn't two months into a one year warranty, you'd still be protected under the consumer guarantees act. It clearly was not fit for purpose and didn't last a reasonable amount of time. Don't take their bull turd. They're a registered Motor trader to they have to abide by the standards.

Keep at them bro and if they won't come to the party then disputes tribunal. Especially if your terms and conditions makes no note of what constitutes a modification.

[So My AT Just Died..]

Woooow That's Bull **** bro. Don't take that. They either fix it or take them to the disputes tribunal.

[What's this scoop doo daa called?]

Would a WRX splitter work or does it need to be STI?

[What have you done to your car today?]

Replaced air filter, oil filter & oil, fuel filter, flushed coolant, swapped factory intercooler for STI intercooler and Greddy re-circulation valve.

Wagon seems to accelerate much faster now. Could the old re-circulation valve have been leaking boost?

[What's this scoop doo daa called?]

What did you pay for yours if you don't mind me askin?

[What's this scoop doo daa called?]

I finally got the STI intercooler to fit my SG5 forester. Next question is, what is that scoopy thing under the bonnet called? Is it possible to get one off a STI that will bolt straight in and line up with the intercooler better?

[Intercooler swap help]

Hi Crew, I purchased an STI intercooler to run on my SG5 forester. Everything fits perfect. Only minor issue is that there is a hole in the bottom of the STI intercooler for a sensor, which my old intercooler doesn't have.

What's the best thing to blank this off with?

Will this fit my SG5? Seems a good deal if it does fit.

[Bov install question]

Better to just go a decent 100% recirculating bov?

[Bov install question]

So my understanding is that I need to blank off the return hose. Mount the bov to the intercooler and the boost vac line hose.

Is this going to upset the ecu since the return valve is blanked off? Would I be better to get a duel port bov so some air can still recirculate?

[Too good to be true?]

Just buy another haha

Guitar guy, fear not, for there is more on the way!....in 3-4 months...but still, better late than never right?

define "wrong"?

Will it explode causing mass scale destruction, or being of poor quality that it will fall apart in a years time.

What's the laws around having a catalytic converter? This kit doesn't have one.

[F!@#$&G OLD STICKER!! Help!!]

So i managed to get most of it off, but it was so baked into the paint that its taken a few chips off with it.

Would it be a suby sin to say, hide the chips under an sti badge when its not an sti vehicle?

[F!@#$&G OLD STICKER!! Help!!]

I've got an old dirty sticker baked onto the boot of my car. Right where the "forester" badge should be. I've got a replacemnt badge from a wreckers, ready to stick on...BUT, I CANNOT get this f-ing crusty old sticker off the paintwork. I've tried a heat gun, wax n grease remover, vege oil, wd40, nothing works. Any suggestions?

[What is this??]

I'm wondering if there's either a blank plate that can be used to cover the hole from removing the remote housing, or if it would be easier to replace the whole piece of trim?

[What is this??]

I've just got an 02 forester with that same issue. PM me if you have devised an evil plan to delete it once and for all.

[Boost Gauge - Mechanical or Electrical?]

Where do you connect an electronic gauge to? Super glue it to a vac line right?

[Boost Gauge - Mechanical or Electrical?]

Hi Team. What's the best option for a boost gauge? I'd feel more comfortable connecting a mechanical gauge ( 'cause I know how to connect it ) but is there any disadvantage over an electronic gauge?

[Good deal for a Legacy?]

So for my budget, the legacy with the v5 sti is my best bet really. Thanks for all the help team. I really appreciate it!
