  1. Not quite the same, I'd say it's like buying an M3 then changing it for a M3 Coupe When I bought my Saloon it was because I got the best of both worlds, fast car with 5 seats. Wife has her own Car now so don't have to worry about the practical side so much and love the Subaru 4x4 system and tunability of the boxer engine but since the classic they haven't been the best looking cars and now that will change so now the best of both worlds.
  2. Gav you taking deposits? Don't have a dealership in Aberdeen now. Town & County might be regretting that when they see this baby. Not keen on the look of the hatch so I have been holding onto my 04 STI in the hopes that the coupe would be good, it's looking like a good call. Roll on next year. HAs heard 2010 = Japan 2011 = UK
  3. I have also used PPS and they made a lovely job of my wheels. Only problem with the powder coating is they cant match the centre caps due to them being plastic, You might be better gettiing them painted. It didn't bother me so much as I was just using the wheels for winter time.
  4. Sorry if you've seen it before but haven't been on for a while. Fastone - if your bored clicking on it then you need to get out more!!
  5. Can't claim credit for finding it, mate sent it to me. He thought I might like it "being a cruiser"
  6. Always got around 18 mile to the gallon. If driving steady-ish I get 200mile from full to light coming on. Normally 180mile to a tank.

  8. Have to agree about the Red Stuff. I had the Ceramics, they lasted 6000 miles and left my dics with bad ruts. The thing is that I guess they are performance equipment and therefor are going to wear quickly as they are more biased towards stopping than mileage. Might have got away with just pads but wanted an excuse to get grooved discs. Avoided drilled as they seem to have a reputation for cracking. Went for DBA 5000 series grooved discs (Motorsportworld £500) and Feredo DS2500 pads (MSW £145) I will see how I get on with them.
  9. Do you need insurance in Orkney? Don't you just buy the local bobbie a couple of drams at the weekend in the local to "lubricate the palet" Nae too many thou or he winnae mine you bought em!
  10. Not sure about KM and the 1 year thing as I already had been driving it 1 year. I know when I insured it the first year A-plan wouldn't look at me until I had been driving it for a year. What I found annoying was the amount of companies that wouldn't insure me. At the time I was 39 with Full no Claims, Garage and in a safe area with nightly patrols by a security firm. Mind you I guess they know the majority are not buying scoobs to go for Sunday picnics
  11. I know what you mean, I have spent a heap on my scoob in the 22 months I have had it but it's the best car I have owned. Have to admit that most of the money has been on mods but I reckon I have spent £5000 since I got it and another £650 last week - £500 for front Discs, £150 for pads and I'm only home 6 months of the year to drive it..... Grudge the pads as I had Red stuff ceramics and the only lasted about 6000 miles. Went for DS2500 this time. But as I said to Julie (and she foolishly agreed) - lifes to short.
  12. I'm with Keith Michaels and would recommend them. NU £815 Without mods declared (Up £160 even though no accidents or claims). KM £575 With all mods declared including remap. All aftermarket replacements are like for like including JDM parts. Was that happy I now insure my wifes car with them. NU £375 with full claims discount (Up £75). KM £350 for my wife with no - no claims discount. (I transferred it into her name as it was her car anyway and it worked out cheaper with KM. I know not everyone has had great quotes but they do there best and are worth a try. Special phone number for SIDC members in members forum.
  13. Here Miss Like it so far and its much faster. Old site usually took ages to load on this rig. Like the layout, I reckon it's better than SN which has too much going on in the home page.
  14. See this is what gets me. Someone can design that yet Subaru's effort is just bo**ocks. The money that is spent designing and making the machinery for maiking panels etc. You would think that they would take several designs out into the Subaru buying public and get there views. Now if I could buy that one then I would have to have a serious rethink on my next purchase.
  15. Better to be safe than sorry, I would have legged it as well! I would want to stand upto these idiots (Wee man Syndrome) but these days with crow bars, knives etc it's just not worth it. My JDM sti locks its doors when you first put it in gear. Used to think it was a pain in the ass but I guess it's now become a safety feature. Glad to hear your OK, here's hoping the Police catch them but don't hold your breath. That's not to knock the Police, I think the reason these crimes are getting more common is the TO**ERS are getting cleverer at hiding there identity with false plates and baseball caps / Hoodies etc and don't fear or respect the Police/Courts so they don't think they will get caught and aren't scared of the consequencies if they do. I'm all for ID cards, dna, retina scanning etc. If you not doing anything wrong then why worry. That said - As Long as the technology is fool proof and only used to confirm peoples identity!

  16. Nice Gauges Jac [] Liked the steering column boost gauge myself. Actually prefer it to the pod mounted I have now, UR right it's easier to see when giving it some.. As long as you remember to look around it to see the petrol gauge. The red BF's go better with my dash but I should have went for the same set up as I had before. A fair motor youv'e got there now jack, You thought mines was OK but a bet yours is a fair tool. I will be after a PAX lap from you the next time we're both at Knockhill. Only home for one this year and that's September. Hope the weather's good.
  17. Gus, I could set you up with a blind date. My girlfriends twin sister - "Dolly" []
  18. Pity I hadn't seen this earlier or I could have warned you about the Gordon's! I drink in there occasionaly being a Kincorth Loon, but the wife's work used it for a visiting workmate and swore never to use it again. Reckoned there was mould on the walls and everything. She has someone up in Aberdeen at the moment for training and had problems getting a room. Got a room at the Inn at the Park. Sorry about that, I guess it spoiled your visit. They must have an idea the place is a pit when everywhere else is booked up and there not.
  19. No it wisnae ready. I gave Lesley a call and she told me it wasn't ready. She is going to give me a call when it's done!
  20. Word on Nasioc is that this is the new impreza with a OEM kit. I reckon they must already be getting the feedback if they are supplying kits already to improve the looks. Still think the Evo X looks better, especailly the interior.
