  1. oh no you didn't............ well certainly cleaned that engine out :rotfl:

    Just drain it, remove bottom rad hose [30 secs]

    Give it a good flush out with a garden hose, in the header tank

    Fill it up with clean water after re attaching the bottom hose

    run the engine for 5 mins, yes run the engine gets all the water out of the waterways inside the engine :)

    remove same hose from rad at the bottom and drain, flush again. Hose back on

    Fill with good quality anti-freeze as per manufacturers instructions

    Go to specsavers and buy one get one free lol

  2. is the dealer fitting spots and front splitter?

    Brian.

    Oh yes, i would be far too scared about scratching the old girl changing them, apparently fitting the spots is a piece of cake! Personally i just don't fancy routing about trying to find the lecky connections behind the bumper and changing the steering wheel stalk. Best let the dealer worry bout that :rotfl:

  3. I just bought some Zunsport grills for the hatch from their website, phoned them yesterday and grills arrived this morning, well impressed. Coated black for a change instead of the normal stainless. will get some other pics when they are on the car.

    Also having a splitter & spots fitted on Monday so should look not bad :rotfl:

  4. I'm going to see if I can arrange a test drive next week so that I can make my choice.

    A small word of warning if you are going to test drive the new Impreza......... take a deposit with you :) Very much a user friendly car, well equipped and modern. I went from a RB320 to a STi hatch and all i can say is, you will not be disappointed :(

    Best of luck

  5. Look at it this way the Hawkeye will cost an extra £185 a year in tax....................................................

    £16 a month - WOOPEE!

    Its nothing.

    Buy a Hawkeye, they are amazing.

    (funnily enough, I'm selling my 56 Plate Spec D with 15K on it in Feb, looking for £13500 with 18's and BC Coilovers) :(

    ^^ not a hint or anything :D saying that sounds like a good deal and a nice car [picture] though and :) extra £16 is buttons really, it just sounds bad paying £400 smackers, i grudge paying that muppet 'Darling' extra money to be 'green' Mmm stopped me buying the hatch for sure!

  6. Try privilege m8 that's who i use, for me by far the cheapest. i tried A plan & keith michaels but were extortionate!

    What i usually do is find someone close that you don't like in the street and put their details into places like money supermarket dot com but with your D O B and see what quotes you get, that way you will avoid the 4 sacks of junk mail they send you out next year on renewal date:), once you are quoted just phone the insurance company up direct, haggle the crap outa them & you are quids in.

  7. Aye, just nae sure what to fit and don't want to **** with decat's for MOT hassles, probably just try a new rear box? Any advice of which one?

    Just change the backbox hoss, no need to worry about remaps or mot. i had a ninja 2 on mine before i sold it, I still have the back box in my garage............. ;)

    *edit* if you are going to mod the car to any degree i wouldn't bother with the GB or RB, just get a 07 Sti and the money you would save buying the standard STi would more than cover the extra bolt on bits.

    Plus you would end up with a better car!

  8. So all special editions should be left bog standard?

    So if I rip the interior out of my RB5 and fit a multi point cage I will be slagged off on here? :)

    May also actually fit a spoiler that actually causes downforce as well im doomed now ;)

    Also I have already cut away half the P1 front splitter and fitted a FMIC

    Also have P1 wheels at the moment as well

    It's ok m8 as it's only a RB5........ knock yourself out :D
