Hey another name to a face. Me, my good lady Lindsy and my young son Ricky spoke to you and your good lady just before we left. You may have had to wipe the drool off your bonnet. I see your girl trying to duck under the window in the photo , camera shy eh....... Catch up with you both again next time, that car is a cracker, enjoy!

Not STI Pretenders. Did speak to the couple, very friendly. Not members of the club (at the moment). Friends of Duncan from Hypertech. The car is currently putting out around 400bhp, very nice.

Good show today people. Managed to speak to a few people that we didn't already know, must be more forward in future meets. Only disapointment of the day was that I didn't manage to bump into Jonboywrx and say "well done matey". Anyways here's a few pics from the meet, every car was lovely but my faves were the two RB320's, beautifull.

1. If your sidelights won't switch off look for the parking light switch on top of the steering column . 2.Use the search function on the forum before asking the same old question . 3. The best first mod for an impreza is the exhaust (backbox at least) 4. Buy a classic 5. Make sure you get regular quality oil / filter changes every 3 - 4000 miles 6. Always run the car on good quality fuel - V Power/BP Ultimate/Tesco 99 and add octane booster for safety in an unremapped import 7. Avoid "chip"ing an impreza - get it remapped by an expert like AndyForrest (Apexi for classics, ECUtek for newage) 8. Sell the Newage and buy a Classic 9. Always wait till the engine is nice and warm before giving it full pelt and let it cool down befrore switching it off 10. Upgrade your brakes before modding the engine 11. A VTA dumpvalve isnt really a good idea unless your car is getting remapped to compensate for it. It will momentarily make your car run rich as the ecu gives fuel for air which has been dumped and not recirculated. All you are missing is the gay noise. 12. Solid rear droplinks and a decent suspension geometry set-up are probably one of the best sub-£100 modifications you can do to a standard car. 13. new ages will undertseer when at the limit 14. If you have a classic get Strutt Braces. The improvement is outstanding! If you have a new age...no luck! loL! 15. Clean out the boost solenoid once in a while and dont fill engine oil right up to max. 16. Go to the SIDC track days at knockhill, you get free tuition from an instructor if you want (plus ensure you wear Cat boots far better that way!!!!) 17. Love every minute of driving and owning it (it will make handing over the credit card much easier 18. Goto meets/Knockhill/Crail and tell us who you are?We don't bite sometimes 20. Join the SIDC and you'll get discounts on insurance and dealer supplied parts in addition to track days. 19. For some obscure reason there is a lot of mention of goats & homosexuals in here. Do NOT let this put you off our forums. 99% of our members are "normal" but we are all fans of The Hoff. 20. Always prefill the oil filter when doing an oil change 21. Dont believe everything you read on the forums. 22. Send off for a Shell card 23. What ever BHP you get, you will never be happy 24. BLUE is the best colour. 25. Is your car standard? - leave it that way. 26. Watch out for the Impreza's "lift-off" oversteer. It's wicked, particularly on a wet Knockhill! 27. wave to other scoob drivers 28. never buy a set of lexus rear lights[+o(] 29. sidc love some photography of your beloved 30. dont sell your scoob you will regret it and will end up with another 1 31. The best place to hang out on saturday nights is at OSIDC 32. Modding is for MEN 33. Going JDM is for winners..........leave the chocolate UK's to the Willy Wonka lovers! 34.^^Andy speaks the truth, JDM is the way forward!! 35. K.I.S.S. Keep it simple stupid and don't mod what doesn't need modding (dump valves etc) 36.NEVER let the other half known how much youve spent on the car.she will be jelious! 37. Dont go to Halfords for your servicing parts - they are more likely to give you filters for a lada or skoda. 38. the bright button really does just make the clock brighter 39. Never believe anything read on Ebay 40. Never buy a impreza when you get 10 spare ST2 (spaceman) 41. CLASSIC ARE The GREATEST IMPREZA BUILT. 42. Try not run your impreza top end as the boxes dont last long(went through 3 last time) 43. Believe the petrol gauge - yes it does use that much! 44. if you have mudflaps watch when reversing near kirbs or they get caught on wheels and bye bye back bumper 45. Your steering wheel lock isn't broken, you're supposed to have to turn it 180 degrees before it engages. 46. Boost solenoid 'chatter' isn't necessarily indicative of a fault (although the Scoob moguls say it can be eradicated the by above-mentioned cleaning). 47. Uneven tyre wear is common. 48. 10 miles use out of a set of newage shocks isn't unheard of - but if you're still under warranty, they're covered. 49. The rear proximity alarm (on newer Imprezas) tells blatant lies in the rain. 50. Door panels dent quite easily. 51. It's won't stop entertaining you on twisty roads! 52. Never use the standard horn in an aggressive manner in a road rage situation, you will just look silly!!

This is shaping up nicely. We haven't been to a meet since last summer as the Fife scene is very quiet at the moment. Also working shifts often interferes with the Thursday night meets anyways.

Oooo sexy....

Very nice, very nice indeed. The red rim does look the best on a black car. From another black wheel owner.

Yea, Happy New Year, to one and all, when it comes. "Hae a gead yin"

That bay is most impresive. I too have that zero sports slam panel and will be fitting this Friday (along with the front de-tango attempt). Got to say, that althought I have never seen your car in the flesh, it is one of my favorite bug-eyes. Can't believe it never went when you were thinking of selling, you've got to be glad she is still yours though.

Looks good. Going to do it myself between Xmas and new year as I have a side light out and you need to remove the headlight unit to change the bulb, so I thought, perfect time to complete the full de-tango on the car.

Sorry I'm no expert, but I think you are correct in what you are thinking. I too have looked at the same kit from scoobyparts and would like to have it fitted before I finally get a de-cat up-pipe and sports cat down pipe followed by a re-map. I'm sure someone could confirm this as being accurate.

Looking fantastic John. Really fancy getting a proper detail myself.

For the most of the body work Lambswool wash mitt and for dirtier areas, wheels, exhaust, mud flaps, sills and arches Micro fibre wash mitt

Much better, very nice indeed, as is the whole car.

That's 'Tuner Nuts' that you are looking for.

This is what I went for on black alloys: Black McGard Lockers and Black Wheel Nuts Remember to get your SIDC discount.

Very nice indeed. If your wondering where to get decent black nuts, I went for the following: Black lockers and Black standard nuts You will also be able to get a SIDC discount.

That is one impresive looking bug. And you have certainly have done a fine job with your new products. Good show.

Top job. Loving the red Prodrive stickers with the matching red calipers. Overall, beautifull scoob.

Sorry mate the old alloys are already sold. They would have been no good to you anyhoo because they were BK Racing 238, that were originally on a VW Golf and they were not the correct offset for a Subaru (previous owner fitted them). They should never have been on the car. They are now back on another VW Golf. I did get the original WRX alloys with the car when I bought it but they too are also sold. Dale (the fast one) has them on his car now.

Just to show you all that I actually went through with the winning vote. Blue with the white letters. Not the most perfect job, but not too shabby for a 1st attempt. I'm happy with it, a definite improvment i think.

Congratulations.

Gus the car looks fantastic. I love it. The graphics so far are superb and man is that car squeeky clean, would love a session from the blue dragon. As for the wheels white would indeed finish it of just perfectly. You sure do have this Subaru tweeking thing down to a tee. Each and every example I have seen of yours to date certainly has that wow factor. Keep up the good work.

Right, ok then, thanks again for all the votes and comments. The yellow stickers on the foglight covers are soon to be changes to white by the way, mayby should have stated that. I personally fancied the red calipers with white letters. I love the calipers in red and thought it would break up the blue/black already on the car. Lindsy wants the blue calipers with the white letters and it looks like she will get her way. As the voting has went heavily in her favour. Voting now closed thanks again people. Oops, not sure how to close the poll so it is still open.

I'm loving them. Might have guessed you would go for Tango calipers. Thanks for all the votes and input people. I will close the poll up tommorrow and let you know what my thoughts were and what Lindsy's thought were.............. and what I intend to do.
