Gumball Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Well today my after market RB320 steering wheel badge arrived in the post. So, without thinking it through, I armed myself with a kitchen knife and made a hasty exit out back to begin tackling the transformation from STI in the centre of the wheel to RB320. Giving it as little thoguht as possible, I proceeded to attack the STI badge and pull away at it, bending it. I thought ''if this was meant to come out, it would be a lot easier'' and suddenly realised i had made an error of considerable magnitude. I started to try and get the slightly bent STI badge back into place and obviously each time I did so, the horm went off. Now I was feeling concsious of my presence and decided to drive down the road and sit quietly trying to get it back into place. Each time the horn blasted, people looked, a man sitting in a group 20 car, fiddling with a knife around the general control area. Sweary words coming from me, people looking, knife in hands, old women cowering as their fingers looked for the 999 buttons on ther mobiles. lol Eventually got it all sorted and peeled off the RB320 backing and stuck it over the STI badge like I should have done to begin with. This story backs up the reason I hit the ball like tiger but have a 17 handicap. I simply have no concentration !! what a chod !
scooby222 Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 tricky things those steering wheel badges, i once watched someone punch their wheel in anger until they realised theyd bent the badge - mind you that was a rover and he was/is a muppet still alls well that ends well!
mikeyb13 Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 When I bought my Type-r I totaly didn't listen to the guy when he was telling me how to work the DCCD. It started snowing on the way home and despite driving like Miss Daisy I ended up backwards 3 times.
Big Gordon Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I did something daft to mine on sunday, i scraped my motorbike trailer along the side of it. Doh!!!

I heated up the plastic with a hairdryer and the STi badge came out no problems. I then ground down the ribbed bits in the badge hole bit and popped in the RB320 badge - sits flush and looks better i think? I did mark the steering wheel a bit which is a bummer. I also used a RB320 splitter badge to cover the STi badge on the rev counter but i'm still not sure if that was a good idea - see picture.

lewisscoob Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Lucky there wasnt a have-a-go granny to hit the car bumper, setting off the airbag and giving you a knife in the coupon! Ive done heaps of daft things in my subarus. One of them was presuming the other guy wouldn run the amber light on the other side of the crossing...
Gumball Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 LOL. the STI badge is brilliant ! I just wanted to remember when i got in it was a little different. The only other stupid thing i have done to my scoob was to throw one sideways into a field at hi speed. that wasnt too funny.

mystery machine Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 It's a little-known fact that the standard Impreza stereo has a button that, when pressed, improves the sound quality dramatically ...that button is the 'OFF' switch.
