    Not convinced how much it does but the rubber was fibbed on mine so just replaced it was about £12. From local dealer

    middle exhaust rubber

    I replaced mine on the 197 I had and yes that is the correct one for the centre section.

    Rigid collar mod as seen on Masa's thread

    Yes I understand that but the mark up on these is obscene, if anyone has one I can prove how cheap I can get these produced in the UK. .

    Rigid collar mod as seen on Masa's thread

    That's a fair point but if the item is so overpriced that bit makes it a rip off then it doesn't make sense. The benefits from this are minor and these prob cost very little to produce do even with development costs They are not worth it for that money.

    Rigid collar mod as seen on Masa's thread

    Never in a million years worth that but agree it is a good idea. The Whiteline rear subframe locking bolts for the Impreza are around £40 ish

    Rigid collar mod as seen on Masa's thread

    No mate pity as there are similar products for the subframes on the Impreza and they are worthwhile but the cost of these are ridiculous for what they are.

    Front suspension Arm

    Thought I would update this. When the rear bush came I really didn't like the way the offset bush was fitted. I think it would be very very difficult to fit this in exactly the same position either side, I also think it would rotate when you tighten it, in essence I think it wouldn't be almost...

    Powerflex warranty

    I have dealt with them a few times over the years. They made a bush for my I preza that they didn't produce at that time and didn't charge me a penny obviously the parts I sent allowed them to start producing the bush but still very well handled. I recently bought the front suspension arm rear...

    Power gains Questions

    I managed to get my Impreza down to 1068kg, I could probably get a 197 down to that too but would be impossible to do and retain the objective of keeping the car useable on the road. The only problem I have with using a Megane set up is the car then becomes unusable in sprints as it dies not...

    Centre section compatibility

    ok bit of a long shot but given the experience on here you just never know. I have a 197 with a miltek resonated cat back system. My older lad has just fitted a Scorpion non resonated cat back to his 200 but feels it's just a tad loud for daily use. Does anyone know if the two centre sections...

    Power gains Questions

    Thanks guys can't argue with the logic. I agree the extra cost of forging a Clio unit coupled with the need for an aftermarket ECU would add significant cost. For me it's also about them Owe real delivery not the power figures and the loss of vvt does have a significant effect on spool. Has...

    Power gains Questions

    Why is everyone desperate to change to a megane engine why not use the Clio engine, forge it and use an after market ECU. Surely that's a better package and lighter.

    Fitting Scorpion cat back

    No on the engine side of the cat just in case I take the cat off to cut it i.e between the cat and the downpipe the flange you show in the 2nd picture above. .
