To be fair if your spending under a grand mate you want it as gay as possible. That way its sooooo uncool it is cool. If you try and get somthing cool for under a grand you just end up with a shite example of a decent car. Go gay or go home lol.

Suzuki Jimny.......heavy bitchin brahh

Extra 10 mph but no boost. So basically the same with a subaru badge and goes a little quicker for an extra 5k lol
-
Nah i dont think so anyway.

Isnt it just an identicle car you pay more for because it is subaru?

Gt86 is gorgeous i drove 1 when i was buying a new car. Too slow though. You dont get enough bang for your buck buy something else. Fuck a corsa vxr thats what i got rid of lol. I had it for 2 years and when i traded it in it needed a clutch a head gasket. I done about 3 rear wheel bearings in 2 years its the most unreliable shitty car ever all in 50k miles. They are pretty fast in a straight line tho and do look good but drink fuel. The new astra vxr is pricey about the same as a gt86 and i drove 1 aswell they are incredible probably 1 of the best hot hatches ever. Insanely fast handles inc

If it dies when the engine is running then its the alternator. Possibly the bat aswell.

Id very much doubt a 2001 polo gti has tappets it will have cams and cam followers if they needed shimmed, re ground or replaced id imagine it would do it constantly.
-
Where u gettin it sprayed jade? Did Allan go to the jap day at knockhill the other week?
-
Its not the tappets. Its because the top end is dry when you start then soon as the pump gets oil up there it stops thats why it only lasts 2 secs after start up.

Good Luck sealing it again. I've heard starlets are a fucking nightmare because the sumps are paper thin and just warp when you tighten them.

occasionally smoking on idle when hot!

Strange normally when stem seals go you get a puff on start up due to the oil on top of the head leaking past the seals when the engine is off and sitting and gravity takes its toll I dont doubt you though just unusual. Always good to know though. -
Nah if youre sure there is no other bolts then just scrape away. Sumps are pretty basic bits of metal punched out in a press theres nothing to damage other than the lip itself. So long as you dont stick it in too far youll be fine.

Use a sharp thin blade screwdriver or wallpaper scraper and go round the edges its most likely being held on by silicon.

Welcome mate. I'm sure you'll find everything you need on here. Great bunch of guys. Personally the EP82 is an improvement on a fugly Pulsar so bravo to you sir.

Mines is currently meshed as my airfilter did not fit. It does the job but a filter is always better. Particles small enough to fit through the mesh can get it and do damage as well as water. The benefits being it is less restrictive than an airfilter.
