  1. In a similar vain does anybody know where i can get a set of winglets, colour not important.
  2. Silver spoilerless new shape sti saloon, south bound m74, raith interchange, 7pm last night, private plate S333 *** lady driver. Very very nice car.
  3. What bombsquad says is true ref the insurance discount, keith michaels halved my premium this year, last year i was with adrian flux, who this year were wanting over £1400 to insure me, and i only have very light mods. That saving ive made through the sidc club membership discount is worth my membership fee.
  4. Hi and welcome, get some pics up
  5. Hi and welcome . Your never to old to be into cars.
  6. On a related note, fairy liquid will strip any protection you have on your paint and can lead to laquer peeling, and never use a sponge to was your car, you would be aswell using a sanding block.
  7. Chemical guys blue clay is pretty good, but yeah any decent clay bar work, if you have never tried it before start with a soft clay rather than a hard, you'll be amazed at how dirty a "clean" car actually is.
  8. Not going to make this one however im on holiday first week in september so hopefully i'll make that one.
  9. I kinda see everybodies point, yes the constant feed was a nuisance, but at the same time how many people access the forum via a mobile device, phone/ I pad etc, i know i do, i dont have time to sit down at a computer and do it that way, the only computer i use is at work. I also agree with Aluns comments about what is the point of non paying members being able to post or even view the forum, i think it should be locked to non members completley other wise what is the point in paying for your membership every year, even the club discounts are hardly worth my membership, mainly because the discounts dont really exsist. I know there are issues with the forum etc etc but it really needs to be updated and modernised as a matter of urgency. Just my two quids worth.
  10. I'll buy my tickets on the day chris if thats ok.
  11. Hi welcome along bud, nice scoob, i realy think the gb270 is a bit of a classic.
  12. Does it really matter what one forum does diffirent to another, ultimatly who cares. We are all enthusiasts that enjoy subarus in one form or another, some are into driving them some are into showing them off, doesnt make one person better or worse than the other for being into there own thing. I do think some folk on here need to take the stick out there arse and chill out, opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one. Just because you dont agree on something doesnt been the ban stick has to come out, yes there should be boundaries/ limits etc. I used to think sidc was up its own arse when i first joined but now after meeting a few members and going to a couple of meets ive realised that to not be the case. Lets concentrate on how to make it THE subaru club.
  13. Ive always lusted after the impreza, mainly due to following rallying and colin mcrae, that and the burble. Ive had various lesser cars, but ive always been into performance brands, nova gte, cavalier gsi, focus st170 but i always wanted an impreza. 3yrs ago i had a tuned vw bora tdi, tjis was the same year we had the heavy snow, i couldnt go anywhere in it, totally pissed of with it i promised myself my next car would be an impreza. Once i had some money i started looking, they were all blue with gold wheels, the iconic colours, that was until i stumbled on a red blobeye wrx with a few sti bits and that was me, i had to have it. Nearly 2yrs later and im just as happy now as the day i drove it back from hull.
  14. I cant get on ss, but yeah i think the sidc is seen to be the domain of old duffers with no sense of humour, and through posting varios advice type questions on here and being met with a wall of silence or only a couple of replies tends to lend to that train of thought. Im not club bashing by any means, however it can come across as being less than friendly. There was a bit of chat about this on sun aswell, and most peoples thoughts were, why cant we just get along, at the end of the day the number of people into proper cars is falling, due to the cost of running them etc, even the after market is on the decline, you all think how many Alloy wheels shops there used to be, even car audio retailers, etc etc. I joined SIDC after seeing your stand and the convoy at wings and wheels about 3yrs ago and thought wow, when i get my impreza thats who i want to be apart of. We need to get all regions involved, ive been to a few meets now and its the same faces all the time, a handfull of glasgow/ lanarkshire and cathy, whats wrong with the other regions. Ultimatly we the members are in charge of the club and only we as a club can change it.
  15. There are 2 other red blobs in lanarkshire that i know of, 1 in coatbridge and 1 in cumbernauld, was gutted after i got mine, had never seen another red one anywhere, bloody typical.
  16. Nice photos. Was a cracking day despite the rain.
  17. There's a BP not far for sandwiches etc and there is a morrisons at partick train station
  18. My biggest gripe is when somebody posts something for a bit of advice or help and its completely blanked, no replies, no answers etc, yes i appreciate there is a search bar, but most of the time i post from a mobile device rather than a pc, i actually find it quite off putting and verging on snobbery, its not really the example to set new members. I actually find chris's posts entertaining and go somewhat to making it a friendlier place.
  19. Spotted a rather nice red hawkeye with what looked like a seibon carbon bonnet and carbon wing on the m77 south just before the A726 cut off. Nice scoob whoever you are.
