It's been confirmed that the evil man that he was, is now dead.

Good riddance I say.

Superchargers...electric & others ?

by BOOSST, 08-09-2019, 09:02 AM

I know, I know... don't shoot me straght away for this thread :blink:

whilst I understand MR2's and general stuff I have actually dealt with, I am ok. However.... I am still wondering about the value or non value of electric superchargers. I fully appreciate no electric charger could even begin to compare with something like the TRD etc. But there has to be some sort of validity to these with so many on the market, ranging from £20 to £300 plus I expect.

So,"in kind words" tell me why if the aim of an intake is to get as much air as possible into the engine, why, a decent electric supercharger is going to be no good...

Why am I asking, because I eventuallly plan to Twin Turbo my V6 lump, but that wlll take time, research and a bucketload of wonga obviously, so was considering what else i might be able to do in the meantime to enhance the power...

Ok.. over to you moke:

What do you do?

by speedfreek, 08-09-2019, 08:17 AM

So when you are bored at work on your lunch or if you just have some downtime, what do you do on the internet to keep you occupied?

I currently flick through a couple of forums, email, news and ebay - but am always looking for interesting things to read but can never seem to find anything!


So... help me out... what do you do?

Aerial grub screws - anyone got spare?

by jimxms, 08-09-2019, 07:20 AM

By any chance does anyone have any of those little grub screws left over from when they fitted a stubby aerial to their cars?

The screw hole for my LS430 aerial is smaller than the IS and therefore my TOM's aerial won't screw directly on.

I think what I officially need is an M5-to-M4 grub screw? But I can't be certain as I've been unable to find what thread size the IS200 aerial is.

anyone used LED-depot.co.uk before?

by el_bandido, 07-09-2019, 06:06 PM

I ordered some stuff from this lot 27th of September and still haven't got it. Kind of ****** me off a bit, as other bits I ordered from the states took just over a week. Puts UK service to shame really.

Anyone had dealings with them? Just wondering if I'm getting their usual service or if something has gone wrong. E-mailed the bloke who runs it twice now, had zero response.

Subaru Impreza build thread...

by Shaun TDI, 07-09-2019, 09:10 AM

OK guys.

I thought I'd start a build thread for my Impreza

Most of this information is going to be copied and pasted from an existing blog I've been running for quite some time on another forum so don't get confused if the dates don't quite match up. Feel free to ask questions as we go along.

It starts with the purchase of a nice clean motor.



Technically, I couldn't afford it but at the price it was offered to me, I couldn't afford not to either.
Book value on the car at the time was about £5,000 including the mods. I picked it up for rather agreeable £2,500 as a quick sale was needed. Bonza!

Just to recap, late summer 2 years ago saw me remove my gearbox after a gear selection failure.
The only reason for rebuilding the engine is so that it had done just over 100,000 miles.
There was nothing wrong with it - it didn't smoke, wasn't rattling and had no knocks or bangs. I simply had the money to spare at the time.





With the engine removed, I was ready to begin the long and very tedious process of stripping it down and making notes of where everything goes. Since it would be me rebuilding it, it wanted to make sure that i didnt shoot myself in the foot by not being thorough enough.
This will be the first Subaru engine that I've ever built, althought i've built a few volkswagen beetle engines in the past - trust me when i say there are no similarities between them.
