  1. had nothing but an impreza for 6 years now,they kinda get under your skin w my00 from new followed by, an x my00! (following an unfortunate bit of acrobatics in the first) and now a 55 sti ppp
  2. Hi Jamie, the place in perth is where ive always gone for my stuff. they know their kenwood onions and will try their best to sort it or at least tell you what it needs. theyre still trying to get an obscure part for an old kenwood of mine after 3 years! ask for greg or nigel
  3. heard about the dyslexic devil worshipper? he sold his soul to santa! ho ho ho and hopefully a merry christmas to you
  4. yup, handy things private roads im thinking perhaps a bad tank of fuel?
  5. heading home last night i was doing about 110 and accelerating in 6th gear when the engine cut for a second and the engine check sign on the dashboard lit up and is remaining lit. the cars a standard uk 05 sti ppp, 2000 miles and id just filled it up with optimax. it seems to be running ok, maybe a little bit more popping from the exhaust than normal anyone any ideas? is it ok to run?
  6. i was in las vegas a few months ago and spent ages talking to the guy at the subaru garage and they dont seem to have too much trouble with the heat,they uprate all the intercoolers to cope including one for the turbo.just watch out for the dodgy grade of fuel! good luck and enjoy the sun
  7. had a look and its a driver side one,crystal
  8. ive got one lying in the garage for a my00, cant remember if its left or right but il have a look later and let you know if you want?
  9. touch wood i havent had any for years, but the last time i did i got three in a row! dont know if the idea appeals to anyone but my other halfs dad has started a business selling tyre sealant,its a green gel that goes into the tyre and seals any holes as soon as the object is pulled out. it doesnt have a speed restriction and unlike punctures you can have more than three holes in a tyre without having to replace it. im sure i could get a group buy/discount if there was enough interest. and no i aint in commission!
  10. i tend to get about 180-210 with my sti, used to get a maximum of 190 with my old my00. the red light and beep from the dash does mean im at optimum revs for maximum fuel effeciency doesnt it?
  11. i did los angeles to san francisco via the pacific coast highway,12 hours and 700 miles in a day. in an automatic dodge neon that used 3 tanks of fuel,cost me 70 dollars that did god i hated that car, but what a journey!
  12. ive got a full decat mongoose system,turbo back off a my00 for sale
  13. i seem to have a problem with hondas,both a bright yellow civic covered in jordan bees and an s2000 with mugen badges have left me shaken before but on the plus side i once gave a mildly modded escort cossie such a beating that the guy sold it and bought an impreza,result!
  14. stiv6 type r in mica blue without a doubt although id make do with a p1 or a 22b at a push
  15. yea,that was the fix on my classic but it doesnt seem to work on the new one. and the whistles much louder,must be to warn other inferior drivers to move out of the way!
  16. blue new shape sti heading towards tyndrum from the south i was at the garage at lix toll and heard you coming..and getting to the straight 2 miles down the road
  17. so if i keep the windows down when im above 120, or employ someone small to push on the window then ive cracked it? if it wasnt for drive thrus id break out the silicone sealant! good job we love these cars quirks an all
  18. i thought maybe it was the mirrors,i was hoping itd give me an excuse to fit carbon fibre wrc style ones! o,and i was also on a private test track,obviously
  19. anyone else get a high pitched really loud whistling sound from their new age sti at 3 figure speeds? what the hell causes it and can i get rid of it? hope this aint just me missing the obvious yet again!
  20. welcome to the world of optimax! try norwich union,they can be surprisingly competitive
  21. was it you? was parked next to you at the harbour for five minutes while i hit the beach. couldnt resist getting a photo of them boot to boot!
  22. i had kuhmo ecstas on the front of mine and they were ok, didnt find them any worse than the pirelli pzeros i had before. but nowhere near as good as the toyo t-r's i put on when i could afford them. ive still got two of the kuhmos in the garage,only done 2000 gentle miles, in 205 45 17 if your interested
  23. well yesterday was a day of mixed emotions, with a tear i said a fond farewell to scooby two and an end to five years of classic ownership with much grinning i picked up my shiny new sti ppp!! with much gnashing of teeth i realised how long a thousand miles can be... roll on that first service and 7000rpm! will stick up some photos when i figure out how to?
