You'll have probably seen these before but what the hell, here goes. Stephen.

Looks ace, I'll probably do the same to mine someday. As already said I'll be interested where you get the Prodrive centre caps from as mine as starting to go as well. Stephen.

Thanks to everyone for the comments. As Neil says above I spoke to the mechanic at Subaru today and was told the same story, battery and alternator have both been checked OK however it's a 'smart' alternator and been advised to run with sidelights on all the time or at least have something on drawing a bit of current like the A/C or rear window demister to get the alternator to come on and keep the battery charging. So going to run with sidelights on from now on again. Had read about this before but kept switching them off on sunny days. I'll give it a try for a few weeks and leave the car sitting for 4 to 5 days later on and see if there's a difference. BTW you easily know me if you see me this winter I'll be the one with my lights blazing, thick wooly scarf and winter jacket on due to continually having my A/C on and my back window glowing rear with no snow on it. []

Thanks Cal that's a great post there, as I say I'll give Subaru a phone anyway tomorrow and see what they say this time. Stephen.

[:@] Getting fed up with this. Had battery problems for a while now. Car went to Subaru to investigate the problem with flat battery. Your battery's OK, it's your Tracker that's draining the battery. After a wee bit of hassle Tracker came and fitted new 1 hour sleep mode board instead of 6 hours. Common problem with Subaru's but that should be it now. Battery flat again after not using car for 5 days. Back to Subaru. It's still the Tracker, the battery back-up is draining your battery. Back onto Tracker and they came and fitted new battery back-up unit. That should be it now, nothing much more we can change. Battery flat again................ arrrrgggghhhh!!!!!!!!!..............after only 4 days. So it's back onto Subaru tomorrow. Anyone had as bad an experience as this. I know it's a common problem but I thought it would have been sorted by now. One bit of good news is all the work has all been done under warranty. Should I just buy a super duper heavy duty battery myself ........ would that possibly cure it. Surely Subaru have checked if my battery's been OK. Think I'll ask for a new battery to be fitted this time anyway as the car is still under warranty. Any thoughts very much appreciated. Stephen.

Great to watch you both racing on the strip yesterday, great entertainment. Stephen.

I'm heading down to this with my Focus with the ffoc club. I'll keep an eye out for you Craig as you blat it down the track. Stephen.

Flat four burble. Always loved the sound of Scoobies going past my house. Stephen.

Hello & welcome. Very nice scooby there. I've always liked that one I think it's always been in the North East seen it a few times, smart. Stephen.

Absolutely excellent stuff. Well done. Stephen.

Nice shots there Dave. Stephen.

Looking good Craig, just finishes off the front end nicely. Stephen.

Last thing was Blitz NUR Spec backbox. Next thing is HKS SSQV or Scott Lowe splitter. Stephen.

Yes taking it to bits was the easy part, I just watched those keen DIY experts put it all together as well.

Yes thanks Spince, gave him a hand to dismantle the gear at the end.

No pics of your own one Spince. Need a few pics up of your 'hawkeye' as they seem to be rare as bits so far. Very nice car you've got and nice exhaust too. Stephen.

Great pics herbie. Your exhaust sounds the biz, I was a good bit behind you on the dual carriageway and could still hear it. Having a couple of scooby snacks in that lay-by on the way home. Stephen.

Yes, excellent pics Scoobay and and a totally minted 22B. That bike was mental. Great to watch.

Superb pics as always. What a shine off ma heed, better than ma car!! Think that'll be sore in the morning.

Nice pics there Kloon.

Thanks to all for a really great day. Excellent run down with the Aberdeen crew even if I could only see the car in front for the fog! My daughters think the modelling clay is brilliant!! Sorry, really chuffed to bits with winning the clay bar set (never tried that before) and also winning Best Jap car (Show & Shine), nice trophy. Best car of the show was definately the 22B. Absolutely minted. Well done to all for Best Club and to the top 3 on the drag strip. Thanks to all on the drag strip for providing such great entertainment all day. Stephen. PS Craig - I'm afraid it's only a lowly STi 8, LOL.

Going to come down to this one. I'll PM Craig for Abz meeting place. 1. Kloon 2. Philip_w 3. Craig Mac 4. Charlie 5. Ali37 6. Des 7. Gogsie 8. Herbie 9. DuncATR 10. Euan_r (work dependant) 11. Rhindpiece 12. Rocky1722

Personally I'm a fan of the Scott Lowe stuff. The mudflaps are very good. I see someone is using my pic below to sell mudflaps on ebay and they aren't Scott Lowe ones. Stephen.

Excellent pic there as always. [] Stephen.

That looks ace! I do like a set of Superleggera's on a scoob. [] Stephen.
