£475 for the years tax for my07 sti type uk hawkeye

thats about right. i have access to a very good trailer and my fourtrak 2.8tdx is an excellent tow car. usually give £20-30 to my friend to use his trailer (depending on mileage)and charged £1 a mile on top of that to collect a ford ka from durham.

nice choice of colour think i may need to pay that bodyshop a wee visit for a stone chip on one of the wings thats not looking too good on my urban grey hawkeye

black headlights and reduced chrome rear lights

No kidding. i took mine off the road in december to avoid the winter roads.. driving theA70 from carnwath to balerno every day for work it would have been ruined. bought an old ford ka for £400 (YUK!!!!) to run back and forth and glad i did one week into driving the ka and i put it down a pothole... domed strut tower, mashed top mount collapsed damper snapped spring and drop link and burst one of the lower arm bushes as well as denting the steel wheel and cutting th tyre open.. thats on 65 profile tyres. all fixed for less than £100 if that had been my impreza i'd have been off to see the bank manager to fix that. still running the ka now as the roads still haven't been fixed. not even tar shoved in the holes plus the small matter of £435 to re-tax it and a grand to insure it means i'll need to hit bonus and do some serious overtime to get it back on the road as for petrol pffft time to leave the country lol

running re070's here as well not by choice as the car was supposed to be tucked up this winter it's not getting stuck but it's very very twitchy and when on compacted snow it's sliding all the time... nearly binned it this morning as the road sloped to the left and the car tried to slide down to the fence can't afford winter tyres DOH!

what make is the strut brace?

i did tick that box though :S and even when you login to your vpower account theres no way of changing it

i tried to get the money for fuel vouchers but the buggers keep sending me gift vouchers for buying gift vouchers in the petrol stations.... had 3000 points redeemed to give me a £15 off voucher which i have no idea what to use on and would much rather have the money off my fuel oh and btw 3000 points is 1500 litres

second from bottom left hand side

dare wheels are very soft, imo avoid

yeah kinda thought that was unlikely

hi all just wondering if anyone has a prodrive downpipe that will fit my hawkeye sti as it's just been for it's mot and failed on emissions. the car is currently running a full miltek 3inch resonated system with a 200 cell sports cat in the mid section but it seems it's not working as it should as grieves in falkirk tried several times to get it to pass but no luck so bit of a longshot but does anyone have a prodrive downpipe with the sports cat on it that i could use to get it through it's emissions? thanks in advance Lewis

don't tempt me....

i concur, my hawks steering feels far too light and any improvement in that area would definately be of benefit, as at kames it didn't give enough feel during turn in, though that might be just because i'm used to fwd cars?

whos review was that then?

teams was a bit of a massacre http://www.totb.co.uk/events/index.php/club-points

i'm heading down early am tomorrow was going to be there today but have been off work with food poisoning and only just eating again

looks really good, as said in the other thread just get some decent rubber on there and lose the federal ditchfinder specials.

looks gtood paul/al now just get rid of those federal ditchfinders currently lurking in the wheelarches

i've owned fwd cars all the time before and working in a bmw main dealer workshop i drive the supposed ultimate driving machine rwd variants (i'm talking the m's and the twin turbos etc here as the 116's and crap like that don't count) and honestly i think in terms of how you drive it front wheel drive (pick a good hot hatch their eaiser to drive hard and on the limit if you've got the brains not to lift off when you think your going to fast round a corner) but ultimately putting any decent amount of power down is harder rear drive, generally only talking from experience of bmw's better at putting power down in a straight line than fwd's and generally easier to get launched off the line than 4wd but not quicker more fluid feeling steering no feeling of driveshafts moving about during hard cornering but require more attention being payed when bringing the power in during a corner the 4wd is easier to hustle than the rwd but not as much as a good fwd car however accelerative grip is generally never an issue (well at least not with my power level anyways lol) put simply i had a choice between e46 m3 and my hawk sti uk and i chose the impreza because i drive the A70 langwhang road for my commute and were i to drive the M3 along it in the winter i'd most likely be found in a ditch

makes mental note to self.. if spotted do not under any circumstances 'have a go' will hopefully see you at totb good luck

lake country pads... and he's using 3m perfect-it polishes... sonus green clay bar 303 aerospace protectant and meguiars foam applicators with and a few zaino bottles not entirely sure what ones they are but hardly what i'd call value for money most detailers have more expensive kit than that the only bit thats pricey is that bloody wax £7000 doesn't buy you value for money

so you tell me that after i go out and buy a full new set...

middle pic is now as my desktop background thanks stephen!!
