I have the Kaylan Scoobyworld WRC mudflags and they were pretty easy to fit - just had to remove a few screws and replace with the supplied bolt clips and bolt on as far as I remember. Just don't tighten the bolts too tight, or you will damage your trim around the front wheel arch (as I did...) I then had to drill a couple of holes in the front wheel arch to screw the bracket in place, and I plastered the area with underseal before screwing the screws into the holes and then painted over the screws with more underseeal to make sure no water gets in... That's the only hard part really - the rear ones are easier than the fronts. The scoobyworld kit came with very good instructions too. You only need to jack up the front of the car to remove the front wheel - one side at a time... You might find it's harder getting your only flaps off than fitting new ones - I did!! Had to saw through 6 bloody stainless steel bolts... lup.

If it's a Forge dump valve - looks like one... Send them an email or a phone call and ask about their servicing kit. I bought one from Fleebay and found that it was sticking early in the morning and took a couple of hard accelerates to free up properly... I could tell since no dump and turbo flutter.. I took it appart and the lower piston had dirt that seemed to cause it to 'stick' to the intercooler exit hole. Cleaning that part with brake cleaner removed the build up and it worked fine. I then contacted Forge about what type of grease I should use, and they sent me a free servicing kit which had new grease, rubber gasket rings, new lower spring and alloy piston... I cleaned the valve up, installed new parts, regreased and the dump valve now works beautifully. Excellent customer service from Forge! Hope that helps, lup.

Check out this very good guide, I used it when I installed mine.... http://bbs.scoobynet.com/interior-15/48726...in-an-my01.html Hope that helps , J.

I can't give you a definate answer either way - all I know it that when I commented about the lack of burble on my car to my dealer shortly after I bought the car, he explained that it was because for the Hawkeye model, the headers had been changed to be equal length... He may have been wrong - who knows... However when I changed my exhaust system, the improvement was considerable, though I still think the Hawkeye is probably not as 'burbly' as previous cars.... lup

Yes you're right, they changed them on the Hawkeye... I have to say when I bought my Hawkeye I was a bit disappointed in the exhaust sound (or lack of sound...) A Prodrive BB, straight through CC and decat helped bring it back though... The size of the standard BB was massive!... But I guess it's still not quite as good as a blob... Good enough for me though and swmbo is kept happy...

That's the spirit!!!.....

lol.... I bet they didn't... Hope it's been de-cated for good measure.... lup.

Well I recon I've lost about £12-13k off the value of my 06 hawk WRX in 4 years, so it can't depreciate much faster now... I blame the Government, price of petrol, and insurance companies!... actually just blame the greedy, car hating, speed hating and (probably...) scoobe hating government... Bet they all have Evo's on the quiet ...rant over... lup

Check here.... http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/Ownin...cle/DG_10012524 Mine was registered 1/3/06, hence in band K since it says.... * Band K includes cars that have a CO2 figure over 225g/km but were registered before 23 March 2006 Cut off date is therefore 22/3/2006 then... lup.

You might just be able to get a very early '06 plate and still not have the tax hit... I bought my Hawkeye WRX on the day the plates changed and made the lower tax band by 21 days Having not driven a blobeye, I can't comment on which is better really, but I love my Hawkeye... I think that the 2.5l standard engines have a bit more power (tiny bit) and torque, but the power does come in lower down the rev range... lup..

What about frozen snow around the boot seal/ledge working free....?... Seriously I had a similar sound on mine and turned out to be lumps of frozen snow wratling around the boot ledge.... Honest!....

Also used them - very fast delivery and very happy with service....

..lots of nice cars there Trawled the site and found this beauty... http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=30914 Enjoy...

Very, very sad news - my thoughts are with the familys concerned at this difficult time. Like so many others, it was through Colin's exploits, together with Richard Burns in the Subaru Rally Team that I became interested in Rallying, and dreamed of one day owning an Impreza of my own, 'played' at being a rally driver through his video games, and finally bought my own Impreza a year ago... Such a sad loss of life, of someone with so much life... My condolences to his family and friends... James.

Yes they are very quiet. I put a Prodrive WR Sport backbox on mine, and it's improved it no end - warranty friendly too...
