  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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!
  4. welcome to the world of optimax! try norwich union,they can be surprisingly competitive
  5. 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!
  6. 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
  7. 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?
  8. glad your both ok, i did a very similar thing in my first impreza and walked away too. a word of thanks to the solidness of subarus is called for! hope you get your next one soon

  11. yep ive spent the last two years driving my girlfriend crazy looking at everything from a leon tdi to an a4 3.0 tdi as i keep getting fed up with the running costs. and what have i bought? an 05 sti! like gus said, your only here once, make the most of it
  12. looks like the afterburners getting the vote so far! hi craig,ive turned on my pm now thanks for the offer of the demo corsa. im just outside perth,whereabouts are you? banging and popping is the way i want to go, my last scoob did it all the time. made every trip feel like a special stage p1ggm, are you round about kirriemuir? i think i was seeing you when i was working over there last year
  13. thanks guys, ive heard the soundbite of the afterburner on scoobyworlds website and its awesome. but i really like the look of the firestorm,there must be someone out there with one?
  14. Im planning one of these for an 05 sti,anyone got any reccomendations for or against either? I want something loud and proud!
  15. S.o.r.r.y f.o.r t.h.a.t D.o.u.g.s.t.e.r and thanks to Andy for his defence of the new kid in the playground. I didnt realise there was so much computer etequtte to learn! I shouldve picked up the sti tomorow but it aint quite ready. I now have that feeling you get as a kid when santa doesnt come down the chimmney,ho hum!
  16. thanks guys(and gals) ive got a few days to go before i take delivery, so just enough time to pick a backbox for it,any recomendations? ive got used to running a full decat,which il sell before i p/x if anyones interested, so the louder the better!
  17. howdy, ive been hovering around the edges of here for a while so i thought id finally say hi properly! ive been trying to decide whether or not to hold onto my my00 for a while,you know how it is, and the increasing likliehood of having to replace bits and the insurance and fuel have finally decided it,so having decided on an a3 tdi as a sensible choice ive bought a brand new sti instead. hence the title. so, deep breath and, my name is dave and ive been doing impreza for five years now, i told myself i could quit at any time and i didnt need to mod it...
  18. yup,as far as i know its a short stretch to test it.also coincedentally the most popular section for bikes doing big speeds,theyve been using helicopters for the bikes the last two summers. i heard it through the guys who service my bike but i havent seen anything official im the papers. but if theyre in the cats eyes and they use the timing between two points a mile apart theres no hiding from them,itd ruin one of my favourite roads
  19. as above,looking for recomendations for someone who has a real passion for imprezas to help me get the most out of my my00 without treating me as a cash cow. i know doing it properly aint cheap,but i also know that i wont get 50bhp from a dump valve...its got a full decat at the moment and i want to check everythings running as it should before i start modding. im based outside perth and ideally could do with someone with flexible hours as i normally work 7-7 six days a week. so what says the collected scottish scoobies wisdom?
  20. not sure how accurate this is ,but ive heard a rumour that the police are trying the new cats eye gatsos on the a82 between stirling and tyndrum.hope it aint true but just in case...
  21. hi jamie,theres car radio services in perth just past what used to be lidls, theyre a kenwood dealer and decent guys
  22. thanks guys,think il need to get a new one tho as i dont have another set of wheels or a spare. any ideas best place to buy a new one?
