Drive past this quite frequently in cambridge. Always makes me feel a little sad. Been there for a couple of years at least.

lol, no I didn't see that thread! That seems to clear it up re the diff then. I knew what grade oil I needed but wasn't sure what type. It appears the rear diff is mechanical, not plate, so I know now which of the Millers CRX to go for then ie the cheaper CRX 75W-90 NT not the more expensive LS...

My forester came with the same Hella horns in the grill. Must be a Subaru thing!? They weren't connected so I took them off. I wander how loud they are?

Nice one mate, but trust me I've searched hard! :) It doesn't have dccd, it is a constant symetrical AWD system. It's a 2004 2.5 sti, 280 bhp and has the 6 speed gearbox, and from what I've read it does have lsd's front and back. I think they have the suretrak lsd in the rear too but not sure...

Basically an impreza underneath it all. Really hard to find technical information about them though which is a bit annoying. Long shot, but anyone know what diff and gearbox oil I need? :)

I'm a very patient person but one thing I just can't deal with is waiting to pick up a new car! Btw, any idea of what prep/servicing Torque GT do with their imports? Or does it vary a lot? I'm due it's first service since coming from Torque GT but not sure how far I should go? Think of taking...

Can only imagine the guy I'm buying this from thought the same. Went all the way to Devon from Aberdeen to get it! :)

That's what's given me the faith in flying 400 miles up to Edinburgh to buy it. :) they seem to have quite high standards.

Pretty much standard. Has a turbo timer, twin cone air filters and i thinkthe exhaust is from an impreza sti. Other than that as it came from the factory. Was imported by torque GT last august. Current owner now says feels he'd rather bought a legacy.

As from this Saturday, a wr blue Forester sti SG9! It's not a pretty car but that's part of it's charm. I don't know why but I've always wanted one. Certainly looking forward to the 400 mile drive back from Edinburgh in it on Saturday! :)

There is so much I need to learn that I think if I try to make my own decision on what to go for it will probably end up being the wrong one. Haha I've not really got enough driving experience under my belt (not driven anything supercharged before, and turbo is limited) to know exactly what...

I don't want smooth delivery, I like a good kick in the arse :) Although I see your point! I really need to do a lot more investigation into supercharging etc, but is power delivery always very linear? Or, can this be manipulated with mapping or different types of charger perhaps?

You can convert an Avon to a GTA quite easily. They do a conversion kit which just involves adding the mounts for the body, that's it, everything else is the same.

They are one of the smaller outfits in the kit car world, but produce some lovely machines, like the Tiger Era. Although they did once hold the 0-60 record in a twin bike engined car called the z100. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3qtfY0Ps74

The seats are actually westfield seats so there probably isn't that much in it, but every little helps trust me! I am very, very snug in there and I am very slim at just over 10 st and 5'9".
