Hi dude,

How have you been?

We keep the knock sensors in stock.

Also the rest of the parts have to be ordered from Japan and they take a week from Zero sports. The thermostat is still in the process of negotiations in Japan, hopefully we will be stocking them in 2 weeks.

Regards,
Mao

As mentioned before, a lot of Chinese made silicon hoses are non-specific, which means that they make one model to cover various other Subaru models. Although most of the hoses can be forcefully fitted, but this will result in the loss of coolant flow and thus cooling efficiency.

We have purchased genuine Subaru hoses and made moulds in Japan. These silicon radiator hoses are an exact fit for your Subaru. They are hand-made in Japan using 4-layers of silicon. They hold higher pressures which increases the cooling capacity and last a lot longer than factory rubber hoses.

Get the proper hoses that is made for your car and not just anything. Be specific!!


Below are the comparison pics between GDB Impreza and BL Legacy.

Top radiator hose of GDB is on the left and BL Legacy on the right. (note the slight kink on the BL hose and it gets more obvious on installation as the angles are different on the side):


Bottom radiator hose of GDB Impreza on the left vs BL legacy (note that the hoses are angled differently):



Below are the comparison pics between GRB and SH forrester.

Top silicon hose of SH Forrester vs GRB STi (looks exactly the same on one side, an different on the other!):



Bottom radiator hose of SH vs GRB (Both are similar but actually different -- you must bend and stretch one to fit the other):

Thanks mate, great pics.

Below are pics I had taken before the installation of the silicon hoses on the BL Liberty.

Once again I want to emphasize that these Silicon hoses are made in Japan, with the highest quality Silicon compound. The strength of these are phenomenal and we give a 2-yr unlimited kilometres warranty on them.
