I spotted three facing the wrong way on my way in. I think you found it eventually.

That would have been me, took us about 20 minutes to find the place, then we ended up on the wrong side of the canal!

Aye was a really good day out, worth the drive fae Dundee. Good to see such an excellent turn-out!

Nice meeting all who I managed to bump into, new here so dont really know anyone!

And cheers to the lot from Tayside who waited on me filling my Windscreen wash back-up at the Shell! Was a nice convoy!

Ryan.

Ha ha aye, ran a few over the other night and they wont let go the *******s.

Bit wet up here, but nothing unusual for Scotland!

See ya later!

Nice one bud, give that a go tomorrow!

Not long now!

How do they come out? Dont wanna start clawing at my bumper, MY00 btw.

Cheers, Ryan.

I have the Haywood and Scott System (de-cat centre & back-box), still has the nice Impreza burble but isnt loud at all. I opted for the small silencer in the centre section, think that was an extra £20 or something?

I put a down-pipe cat back in and it sounds lovely, makes a nice sound when you put the foot down. Also went for the round tip which I think looks miles better.

Thumbs up from me.

This should be an ace turn-out if everyone turns up. Over 30 Scooby's is gonna be chaos!

Good stuff mate, looking to be there shortly! Cant wait, I may wee myself.

Its called a weather shield, mine is abit rusty, might get it cleaned up.

Cheers!

Does a STi TMIC make any difference over a standard one like on my MY00 Uk turbo?

And....is there meant to be a cat on the Up-pipe to the turbo? Not sure if mine has one

When I bought my car, it had a 3" de-cat exhaust, from Downpipe back. Since then I fitted a 2.5" exhaust and it's made it soo much better. 3" with both de-cats is far too much for my non-remapped UK turbo, ruins the drive of the car in my opinion.

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!!

53. You will find that Classic owners are really insecure: they talk about how good their cars are over their Newage counterparts. They be fooling themsleves but they soon realise not to listen to what TheWelsho has to say

54. Welsho knows as much about cars as Fish know about Riding Bicycles !

55. you will find most newage owners have a huge chip on there shoulders because

A) they have lost 3/4 of the value of there cars through depreciation over two years

B.) they weigh a bloody ton

C) they are almost all are blue with gold wheels

D) they are jelous of there classic brothers who continually spank them round knockhill

56. Try not to hold your foot to the floor and do 140mph + for mile after mile, they dont like this and tend to go POP, Take it up have a play and bring it down again.

57. If water/coolant pissed out of the front bumper at the passenger side, then you have more than likely over filled your coolant (overflow pipe) and not burst a pipe.

Does anyone know how much a new heat-shield for the cross-over pipe is from Subaru? Mine has rusted right through and I can now see the actual pipe.

If you dont follow me, its the pipe that you see when you look directly down in between the timing belt cover and radiator.

This is really funny, and some real braw tips in there!

So its a 'Falkirk Meet' now!

Maybe it doesnt have one? The only reason I ask is because the new Cat I bought had a hole for it.

Will just put a bolt in it if my MY00 doesnt have one!

Anyone?

Aye dude, UK 2000 Turbo

Yeah sorry, I know where it goes, need to find where abouts on the loom it comes from!

Ive just put a Cat back on my MY00 for next months MOT and I cant find the Temp Sensor. The De-Cat didnt have a plug-hole for it so it must have been removed or stashed somewhere underneath??

Can some one shed light on where it comes from?

Cheers! Ryan.
