    Is the Forester the Turbo? The same running gear as the Imprezza as they are quick lol quicker than a standard VR. But as Pete says Ross Tech is your friend on this one! I will say this My car sat for 18 months in my work shop! I got her out for a little paint and MOT. The painter took it first and was so disappointed, being a VW nut himself he felt pretty let down. I had it MOT'd, then I serviced her with new plugs and leads. Back to paint it went the following week and he was blown away with the difference. These vehicles really respond well to a good service with quality oil... Wh

    I followed people's requests and went for a performance part and nobody showed any interest. Sold one ticket, will find a prose that interests everyone and maybe do another. [emoji106]

    Hello and welcome to the club... Corrados are getting thin on the ground now so a good choice for future classic investment. Keep us posted on how you get on mate. You will find a wealth of knowledge on this forum anyway.

    Well my VW Cam tool arrived in the post today so I thought I would whip the head of this engine. Its all down to this weather or not I can carry on. Needless to say she was fine inside no scores or marks to any of the bores so happy days onwards & upwards! Still waiting the Victor Reinz but its due Monday so once that's here everything goes back together! Also fitted ARPs today! Will be keen to get the car in the workshop haha! Thanks for popping in people....

    Pictured is a spacer plate to reduce compression chap. Then you get a Victor Reinz head gasket as it a multi layer. So you can split the gasket and sandwich the spacer plate in the middle job done! There is an Elring version of the head gasket that is also a multi layer unit. They are around £30-£40 cheaper. However it has been reported they eventually leak. I will get all the links PM'd to you today fella.

    My daily is an auto to be fair! Travelling around here where you don't get past 3rd very often its a godsend! Also when doing the long motorway journeys with out current roadwork situation I couldn't fault it! Laters

    I will link you up tomorrow when I am back in my office. Got the ARPs for £190 delivered inclusive of import tax from America lol. Seen them go second hand here for more.

    Looking good! I could never be lazy in my vr its all about the manual lol

    Well had a few things arrive over the last few days! Still waiting on my Victor Reinz head gasket had to order that from Germany. Stealth had none in stock but where carrying the elring one. However I was wanting the other as apparently its better quality!This is the main thing slowing me down. As you can see I opted for the quantum FP fuel pump. £80 delivered and comes with a lifetime warranty boasts some good figures and with a little modification fits pretty snug to! Decided to pull the fuel sender from the donor car I bought from Saunders this proved to be a little more difficul

    Club stand at prestige! I am in the middle somewhere was an absolutely sh**e day both weather wise and organisation wise... Which was handy as I only jet washed her off the day before, that and the drive down made her far from show ready! Was good to catch up with Carl and Lee who was on a club stand just opposite!

    Hello

    Dave_ciw replied to Babooshka's topic in Newbies Corner

    Ah right sounds exactly as Bealieboy says stretched linkage or even selector in the gearbox. Plenty of threads on members rides and projects that have covered rust lol Not something I would tackle myself lol
