Wee Jock Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 My latest mod today - new rear aero wiper Cool!
bobbyc Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Well now the RS is finished started on the RA today, four new wellie boots fitted might stop me sliding around, new STI centre caps as the salt tarnished them, service & MOT booked & some Whiteline poly bushes etc for the undercarraige, started to get some of the salt & tar removed today as well so it's starting to look the part again. Must say after 16 years of subaru ownership I finally took the RS out to play on some of the back roads since it was a nice dry day & the handling is superb, after spending £0000's modding the scoobs brakes & suspension the standard stuff on the RS beats my scoobs hands down Edited January 28, 2011 by bobbyc

braveheart Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Well bobby u just can't hide cash eh lol the RS let's get some pics up mate of is it the RS Subaru u bought ;-)
mystery machine Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Mod no. 1 today - Whiteline 22mm rear ARB (+ bushes) and Whiteline bushes for stock front ARB Haven't had a chance to properly test it, too much traffic and the drizzle had started to soak into the road salt - however on the few wee twisty bits where I did get a chance to up the pace a bit it felt really nice - noticeably more 'pointy' and composed than before!

danwel Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Well after the tax and MOT in Feb/March i will hopefully be getting an sti spoiler for my wrx if funds permit

Wee Jock Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 got a rear drop link done on my car today, all tickety boo again U still in contact with Ace Tingtong?
mystery machine Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 it's so good to what it was they must have been well out from getting springs fitted and up to 17" from 16" wheels. would be more enjoyable if their was some dry non greasy roads for a few days Sounds nice. Aye, the greasy roads are a pain - even when they appear quite dry they can be a bit slithery.

Whiteline rear bar on last nov, makes some difference .
mystery machine Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Whiteline rear bar on last nov, makes some difference . Aye - in terms of how little it costs compared to a set of springs or coilovers it seems to be great value for money
bobbyc Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Ah well time to get the wallet out again RA's booked in for service & MOT, front & rear ARB bushes required, drop links, exhaust is blowing & might need a new cat / up pipe the joy's
davey l wrx Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 So far this year i've forked out for MOT and new DVD/TV headunit in Jan, Service, new rear speakers and amp wiring kit for the sub thats been in the boot for 2 years in Feb. This month looks like being new front brake clipers as one of the pistons is seized. Need that sorted before the fling.
marko72 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Ordered a boost gauge and pod. Not really much of a mod but something else to look at whilst driving lol.
bobbyc Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Ah well time to get the wallet out again RA's booked in for service & MOT, front & rear ARB bushes required, drop links, exhaust is blowing & might need a new cat / up pipe the joy's Car flew through the MOT BUT and there's always a BUT, after diagnostics the coughing & spluttering has revealed that the coil packs are breaking down and need replacing ho hum more £££££ssssss Edited March 3, 2011 by bobbyc

thebigfelly Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 last month saw ,rear off side - strut,hub,con rods which cost a few ££££'s , this month saw MOT/SERVICE,road tax, ninja 2 back box , scoop respray , and stoptech brake pads on the front , all in all an expensive couple months , get my bonus from work this fri and next month a possible service award for working in hell which should give another couple hundered quid . so im thinking either some gauges and pods, or header unit or anti roll bars, or maybe even some samco hoses to tart up the engine bay , even thought about a stop to paul at ultimate shine to treat my car , still deciding tho
empty_heed Posted March 22, 2011 Author Posted March 22, 2011 one scooby through an mot, needed a steering gator boot and some number plate bulbs before i got my pass. the other just got a new water temp sensor and awaiting a new intercooler pipe arriving and she's good to go for it. oh and a wee visit to andy f next month
