hawkins Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Hi, finally back in an impreza after some years now and its great. Running a nice jdm 97 model. Hopefully get to some meets and enjoy ownership. Going to take her for a service/oil change + check over soon, heard of old mill motors witney any food for jdm impreza? want to keep costs down but with it being an import would cotswold subaru be best? cheers
hawkins Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 Cheers for advice,would ideally like something witney based. I remember reading someone from garage left and was thinking of doing something freelance self employed? liking the wr1
stum450n Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Welcome back mate Old Mill will see you right if you want somewhere locally.
hawkins Posted January 12, 2012 Author Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks, glad to be back is old mill experienced for impreza's? would want advice etc keep car running sweet. could go to specialist ie northants subaru, scooby 4 you, api etc..... has always had good reviews.
stum450n Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Cotswolds have the most locally but old mill do know the scoobs well - they used to do overflow work/mots for prodrive. Crossroads are bloody brilliant (they do the pro-r TA car as well as many others) so definately give them a call and mention that we sent you their way, they'll look after you
hawkins Posted January 12, 2012 Author Posted January 12, 2012 is that the Cross Roads Tredington Shipston-on-Stour? thought main dealers would be pricey though? have contacted steve at northants subaru as out that way sometimes heard good things.
stum450n Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 that's the crossroads, and if you join SIDC they normally sort a 10% discount Seconded
hawkins Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 Thanks, will check them out. got a quote from subaru4you does this sound average? Major service £450 Major with cambelt £599 + tensioner extra if needed. will check with crossroads to compare prices.
stum450n Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Assuming +VAT? If so then yes, they're about right
mark1234 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 that would be me then lol!! there is something happening in the pipeline and i'm just sorting out prices and suppliers at the minute but hopefully things will start to take off then.
hawkins Posted January 17, 2012 Author Posted January 17, 2012 Just a quick update, had a range of quotes from several garages and i think i will use API for car as heard good things on forums, subaru specialist + good prices etc......
spect Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Go for the tensioner change too!! They normally come as part of the kit these days anyway.
