well,
andrew carr came this morning to have a check over of the impreza
he fitted the 3 port solenoid kindly supplied by tony, app now im on a mafless based map
not drove it yet, waiting for the drive home
after that i tackled another niggle, the aircon...the dash would make a snake noise on the screen setting, so i wipped out the aircon machine

Is that a common thing with the aircon? As both my subarus made that noise and so have most other ones I have come in contact with... its not a constant noise but just does it every now and then.

So today I set about the bodywork,
After a wash, I put the car on the ramp, then removed the spoiler, the repeaters and the washer jets, along with the plates.

This was the headlight before, typical subaru quality plastic lol, you can just see the hazing on the top of the light

I treated the body with atomised tardis. Then once all the tar etc was gone, I then clayed the car,Then masked the car up, ready for machine polishing.
Usual steps, 3m fast cut with green pad, then 3m fine polish on yellow pad, followed by 3m ultrafina, final steps were to wipe it all down, then wax the body with ag hd wax and treated the windows with gtechniq g1
Final pics.

Well the map speed down pipe sounds a little tinny. So what I did was order some heat wrap, after installing that its really changed the sound. I also found the rear O2 sensor to be rattling in the down pipe and echoing.
Also a friend of mine changed the aux belts for me too, power steering one was a little squeely on full lock.

This one looks like a keeper with how nice it is.
Whats next on the list bud?
Will a centre pipe on mine make it sound any different & will it need mapping for it?
