    They make abit of difference but not as much as the older ones as the ver8 is bell mouth design from factory but will sound nice and go a touch better ;)

    I\'m hoping that the catless design will make it worth the cuts all over my hands from trying to get at these bolts. There\'s stuff all clearance in there to fit hands/spanners/ etc ???

    yup its a bastard to get them alright
  2. Geez sounds like some horror stories first off the bearing that came from subaru greenlane was an skf bearing which was the exact same bearing from autostop with auto stop being 40 bucks cheaper or a full 75 cheaper if you can get trade prices, not sure if the 2 seals were any different between the 2 but from what I saw they looked the same.

    The first time I did the front left I Pressed the bearings out myself at work which was an easy job I also had the engineer at work check the hub and the assembly make sure nothing wasn\'t outtta shape.

    The second time I was on holiday so just payed some engineering shop to do it for me which cost about 120 bucks, be sure to loctite the hub nut back on punch it back in and torque it to 219nm or 167ftlbs in the old money I think

    Ok was driving along then all of a sudden there was a sudden loss of power (not much but noticeable) parked up and the car was shaking its ass like Miley cyrus humming like it was a Veedub beetle which lead me to believe I could be running on 3 cylinders or misfiring.

    Anyone had this problem before? as it happened suddenly I\'m assuming something may have come loose maybe wiring on an injector or coil plug wiring maybe the spark plugs could be farked (highly unlikely 10k old bosch platinum iridium spark plugs) not sure if it threw a code or not might have to get Pappu to check

    I had the same thing happen to me 2 weeks ago but no CEL came on. dont know if yours would be the same fault but I needed to try as sort asap as its my only mode of transport, so went and got a scan tool plugged in and it came up with Cam position sensor. I pulled the front one out, cleaned it, disconnected battery and reset ecu and car has been running mint since. have ordered another sensor as a precaution so i can replace it, should arrive this week.

    could very well be the same will give that a try cheers

    Hey bro unug each coil and see if makes a difference and Lso maybe check all injector plugs are tight

    Is the cel on?

    If none of the coils an injectors make a difference then could be the avcs issue like I had before

    Hmm Also as an alternate test remove afm and start car and see if its any different just in case it\'s not 3 cylinders and just a badly/rough running due to afm/leaks

    cheers bro halfway through my checks will let you know I thinkit logged a CEL but mot sure if it came on
  5. Ok I have acquired this very spoiler in carbon fibre after a long arduous search and am wanting to remove my standard spoiler and get the holes filled properly and this installed I know I should find a boot lid with no holes but thats like finding rocking horse shit anyone know any good panel shops that can do the job
