Added 3mm spaces to the rears, fills the arch better now.

Painted side skirts, JDM style, with front splash guards. Taken a few of the stickers off too now, I'm liking the more stealthy look.

Just need to drop it a bit now, thinking Tein S springs.

Looking good which spacers did you use as I want to push my rears out!

Just 3mm Ali plate ones for 100pcd. Not sure I,d go any thicker without longer studs.

lookin good matey!

Finally got round to fitting the bigger top mount I got from CJ today, tarted it up a bit first, coat of silver paint, then Zig made me a stencil :wink:

Looking good Nick was it a easy job to port and polish standard headers .

Car passed it MOT today, then threw a major major paddy...

High Pressure line went on the PS pump, emptied the entire contents onto the top of the engine, which then leaked down the front and back onto the exhaust...

First time I've opened the bonnet with the extinguisher ready, luckily the MOT place is just around the corner so it was just all smoke. :sad:

Doh !

She's finally alive again. 3 mafs, miles of vacuum pipe, new jubilee clips, swearing, threatening to sell it....

Turns out it was a loose earth connection on the inlet Mani...

At least I've two spare Mafs now! On the upside she's running better than ever due to a brand new shiny maf from Jaguar that was half the price in comparison to Subaru dealer, yet still cones in a Subaru box....

Thanks to CJ and Bod fir that.

Nice one Nick

Interesting Re : MAF, worth putting the details in the technical/DIY section with a Sticky

Simply put part number on maf in Google and add Jaguar to search ;)

Glad it's work now nick :)

When I plugged the third maf in, and it still didn't work....R1NGO almost suddenly got a load more parts...by chance I noticed the main earth to the manifold was slightly loose, a few seconds later, perfect.

Interesting though, in all the posts about P0171, none if them mention checking earths...

Oh ****! :sadnod:

Oh *hit, how did that happen Nick?

Oh man, what happened there? :doh:

Old bloke in a A-Class pulled out in front of Zig, panic set in, then carried on going. Brembo's saved the day but not the A-class, its f***ed. I'll grab a photo in a mo.

Oh that's a shame hope Ziggy is ok Nick .

She's angry as hell. I'd just spent 5 hours cleaning it after the trip to you know where.

The A-Class is outside mangled on the drive, Zig made the bloke follow her here.

Thats the spray job sorted though, if the insurance dont write it off.

Can't see why to write it off that looks minimal damage but looks can be deceiving think there is a bumper the same as yours for sale in blue some where .

Insurance want to write it off without even looking at it ! :sadno:

Is that a Moley policy ?

No with Admiral Multicar for the 3 scoobs.

Would it be possible to buy it back from the insurance company and fix it yourself?

They've just looked at age of the car and the book price and figured it's cheaper to write it off than repair it. Guess the book price of a 2001 WRX is nothing like what the car is actually worth.

My civic has just had a bumper and lower tailgate replaced, parts come painted from Honda so minimal labour costs and the bill to the insurance company was £1400 quid plus a weeks hire of a Volvo V70. You can see why they probably think it's not worth repairing.

Mate!!! not good is it. I had this a while back with a 4DR classic. Was gutted at the thought of loosing the car. I did end up with car back in the end. Like Mr Baron said it all about figures with little regard for anything else.

Hope you get it sorted dude

Update...

Insurance peeps have agreed to repair! Horah!

Then the snide buggers put my insurance up as i quote

" We noticed from the photos you sent that you have a body kit fitted."

Lets just say the phone call to the underwritters was a little " blue " and filled with interesting Subaru facts...

Then they reduced my premium. :-P

lol, did they assume the Prodrive bumper was part of an aftermarket bodykit then?

Great news that the cars getting fixed, although I must admit i'm surprised when you considering the price of the bumper and headlamps. Good job, its too nice a bug to be broken up :ok:

Update...

Its still sat on the drive, the theoretical cost of the hire car is now over £3000.....:doubledown:

The body shop the insurance chose didn't buy the bumper I searched out for them, now its sold....:doubledown:

On a plus side, I've got a replacement pro-drive light!! :grin:

Wow you found a prodrive light that's impressive but did you not find a front bumper .

Its finally gone to the body shop!!! Even though I still dont have a bumper...

The car hire company said they'd take the car away if it wasnt in the body shop!

Update..

Anyone who dosent want to dick us around????

Mattyb sold the bits we asked for, so that delayed the repair.

Now Scott at Scoobyspares was more than happy to take £500 of me, now wont answer the phone to sort out a next day delivery that's now 4 days late...


Anyone want a damaged bugeye?

Tried PMing him on Scoobynet? He was online this afternoon.

Just to let you know big Rich of East Kent subarus still has the black bug prodrive bumper and is going to keep a hold of it if you want it Nick and I hope you sort things out with Scott at Scoobyspares .

He states he dosen't get near a computer that much and the best way to contact is to phone.

I expected slightly better service from someone with years experience and a good reputation.

Much better today, after about a billion phone calls, the bumper and wing were finally "found" and delivered.

Dropped them off to the body shop, and took a photo.

After being on for 5 years, the wrap on the bonnet is off. And what a arse it was to get off...

It was done to cover up some chips and a dent, so the perfect time to get it fixed.
