Hey, Recently iv noticed that if i sit idling (say stop at traffic lights) my heaters will start blowing cold. Dont remember it always doing this, so is this a problems, if so how would i fix it/what part is broken? Actual water temp is stable, so dont think its the thermostat.

It hadnt had a full service but it had been looked over before. Ye it was the pipes above the petrol tank, so will be a bit more than you £100 just for labour time. Its a MY98 UK tubby wagon, guess there is nothing that you can do to help stuff like this? just try and catch it before it fails on you?

dam thats blacker than black!!! looking v v nice.

Had a bit of a scare, driving along into work, braking into juntion which turns down a huge hill (Constitution Road for the people that knwo Dundee) but im not slowing down...pedal hits the floor, cars still going!!! a quick handbrake stop later i was able to stop the car before i hit anything or started going down the hill. Eventualy got it into AWD after a total 2day screw up by RAC. and my brake pipes have corroded through, the one above the petrol tank so looks like ill be with out my car for a few days. But on the bright side i still have a car and it didnt fail on me at a much worse time! Lucky boy me

ye i just renewed mine, £190 for a 98 uk turbo

wheres the evo? all i see is an s40???

looks great! now how did you do that??[H]

Ye its a very good idea, as you get all the tips aswell has how its ment to be done. On mr2oc they have a great section for almost anything, from maininance to complicated engine/ecu mods etc. If i had read this earlyer i wouls have taken pics of me changing my brake pads, which iv just finished.

got my headlights aligned today, much much better now, think they were aligned before with the eletric control set the wrong way. Though there is still sumthing wrong as it only movess down 1 notch now, but they will pass mot now

Phillips Powerplus? Philips = Vision Plus = free sidelights PowerPlus = Power Bulbs (thought will prob be very same) = free sidelights + free set of PowerPlus

because im a crow. na came from the film which was my fave at the time (when i was begining to use the tinternet) and was all i could think of for a name when it kept telling me all the other names were already taken. So its just stuck from there.

nope, the scoob is for winter! Bikes are for summer [][]

Not too hard but still quick. I havent put it off the road yet, so its doin a good job of saving my ass.

Cheers

Iv got a MY98, when looking for brake pads i have the option of -98 or 98- how do i find out which side of this cut of i come? I have also noticed this for alot of other stuff -98 and 98- so would be handy to know which i am [] My car: S reg, Impreza Turbo 2000 AWD, Date of 1st Reg. 29/09/1998 - from v5. Thanks

good questions Its a MY98 UK turbo wagon, the bulbs were just some H4 +50% xenon out my local parts shop. (its nice to see the top o f the trees when im on main beam though )

I fitted some new bulbs as the last ones were useless, but i have noticed that my light beam is way off, even with them fully down on the controle bitty. How do i go about fixing this? Cheers

Im waiting for winter, std wagons are prity boreing in anything apart from snow. Unless u plan on working on it as a summer show car, you have more fun driving it that looking at it.

I like the stickers - though i can see how they could look very nedish. Ye a spell checker would be good, i always use it on my bikers forum. As for a reply for you to use jonnyb80:

na car isnt lowered. I was thinking about goin for a lower profile, but 16" lowprofile on std suspention just wont start to fill those arches. so is it 215/55/r16 that most are running? mind u just had a look online and at an extra £20 per corner i think i may just stick to 205. (thats for the f1's) Edit again: found the Toyo t1-r 225/40/r16 for a good price, would since the 225 is a % of the 40 mean that it would be the same width as the 215/55? i.e wouldnt rub? Thanks

true, though i dont really drive hard over the winter (apart from in snowy carparks ) so really just looking for sum rubber to get me through the winter, then i can have fun on them in the summer

As Subject. Classic 98 wagon with std alloys, needing new rubber. What is the widest i can go? 205 is whats on just now, which seems far too thin for me. Can u get 225 on them?

what sort of miles do the scoobs get? (spirited driving, but not trackdays etc)

lol i get the same thing when u have old white astras kicking about in town. They should be done for impersonating normal people, or let us all go around pretending to be police

How they do in the wet? good for a winter tyre aswell? I need a new set soon, so would be very intrested if its a good price. Any update on time scale?
