Petrol on a rag, that will get all the crap off, then some metal polish will shine it right up. Looks so good from behind!

Thanks bud, needs some work to get it minty mint but not bad for a 18yr old bus!

 

[yeecup]

how long u planning on keeping this one?

 

[imprezaworks]

You should buy this when/if jim sells it

Just what I've heard for constant track hammer it's better to have a front mount.

FMIC will keep charge temps down, but with OE power you will be fine with a top mount as long as you aren't doing prolonged WOT. Pretty sure the v4\5\6 top mount is a relatively straight forward and cheap upgrade.

Not what I've heard unfortunately. I might be getting an arc cooler which are supposed to be decent (but pricey!).

 

[imprezaworks]

Have you found an arc?

 

[Bluebeard]

Arc?

It certainly isn't the most efficient set up but there is no issue using it on track if you are sensible...sadly the internet often perpetuates opinion that is repeated so often people start to believe it is true. The Arc make great stuff, one of my friends has a tmic on his v2

Just waiting for the guy to send pics. If it's reasonable I'll probably have it as they seem
to hold there money quite well. I bought some ph1 440 injectors too so all good.

Get it bought

 

[yeecup]

Thought standard top mount was fine for at least 350bhp.

 

[Michaelfoz]

looks good, i dunno what it is about subarus
i'd love one but i just don't think i could bring myself to buy one!

looks a good example and you've done the right thing buying from a reputable dealer!
all the best with it

On the later cars but the 'slantys' aren't the best I believe.

 

[leeds_182]

Got some more close up shots of the arc intercooler I'm interested in. The only problem is that the guy doesn't have PayPal and is in South Wales and only deals in 'cash or cheques'.

 

[imprezaworks]

Cash/cheque? Mmmm

 

[Bluebeard]

You can stop a cheque upto 6 months after he's cashed it so there's nowt to worry about.

 

[imprezaworks]

That I didn't know

 

[leeds_182]

He's seeing if his sons have got accounts. To be fair he seems genuine - been a member on scooby net since 2003!

 

[imprezaworks]

Many posts/feedback?

 

[coleman]

Where in South Wales?

 

[leeds_182]

Where in South Wales?

Between Cardiff and Swansea apparently.

 

[leeds_182]

How I always seem to be rolling in this motor!

 

[imprezaworks]

Awaits the 'don't let it drop below a quarter' brigade.

 

[leeds_182]

I'm not sure I've seen it ABOVE a quarter!

 

[imprezaworks]

Try it. Although after a bit it gets a bit tiresome watching it drop lol

As am I, big area though, if it's local to me I don't mind picking it up and posting if your worried about being scammed.
