andy, I never accused you or gumball of factual inaccuracies. other posters took it too far. I've had my problems with Halleys which I have voiced on this very forum. I've also had dealings with drive (not the bew lot) which left me seething, never mind unimpressed. If you get rubbish service then it should be your duty to report it here if it can't be resolved with the garage. This goes for dealers and specialists. It does not however give everyone a right to slate them without facts. Equally so good service should be reported. I hope that clears up my opinion.

Write it again Chris and mail it to Phil maybe, then post it if it gets his ok. Then everyone should add their own experience, not just conjecture and insults for the sake of them.

I imagine points were raised against forum policy. If it had remained factual then it might have survived.

It was the start up sequence that particularly floated my boat. Combined with matching defis and it was trouser stiffening.

ermmmmmmmmm WOT???? A TURBO! How the devil did you get a job in a Subaru garage? Forced induction is a term used to describe internal combustion engines that are not naturally aspirated. Instead, a gas compressor is added to the air intake, thereby increasing the quantity of air or fuel-air mixture available for combustion. Forced induction can be used to increase the power of an engine, its efficiency, or both, without much extra weight. Pressurizing the intake of combustion ingredients increases the effective capacity of the engine without an increase in physical size. The forced induction approach has the advantage that the intake pressure may be regulated according to the engine speed, thus providing power from extra capacity at high speed, but without wasting fuel at lower speeds. The two different forced induction technologies in common use are superchargers and turbochargers. They differ mainly in the power source for the compressor.

I'm thinking of openning a book on how long before you enter the wacky world of forced induction Sharon.

JDM = Japanese Domestic Market. So it's a Japanese car. I can't remember the numbers. They were too painful I think.

Fantastic Sharon. Really pleased for you. You really deserve it.

Braking at all is for LOSERS! As a fierce advocate of the benefits of understanding traffic wave theory then you know I don't like to brake very often. Unlike all the random muppets on the motorway who get a sniff of traffic slowing anywhere in their vision and slam on the anchors whether they need to or not.

Interesting. Let me just fire up google for an unrelated reason.

Anyone heard from Sharon?

It wasn't. That was the first thing I thought when I saw it though! But it was a guy driving who I didn't recognise. Don't know if he's SIDC or not. I get a few waves in the village now. An older guy in a blue bugeye wagon in particular. There's a black STI I've been meaning to put a flyer on as well.

I know these aren't Impreza fitment, but SCHWIIIIIIIIIING http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RAYS-VOLK-RO-JA-R2-5...1QQcmdZViewItem Me like.

Classic Silver Wagon let me out on the mainstreet this morning. Much appreciated. It was a private reg which my goldfish brain has forgotten.

That's a JDM car Boab. They always get the lovely trick bits. I've tried to source a jap instrument panel for mine a few times, but the prices made baby jesus cry.

You only live once Fee. Remember - credit card companies can't touch you when you're dead! MUHAHAHAHA.

Good luck Grant. I hope you've got a portable DVD player and all the Best Motoring and Hot Version you can find. Or at least some jap car mags to keep you entertained.

You're looking at sniffing near 300bhp/300lbft with those mods boab! You know it makes sense.

The full decat + performance filter + remap better not go down the same way boab. I don't know if I could afford an it'd be rude not to moment when getting that done. But I don't like to be rude.

I mind seeing a woman trying to park one in a space big enough for a challenger tank, yet it still took her about 20 goes. I think Z cars have a hayabusa engined one. I bet that's madder than a box of frogs.

I fancy the hoses and fluid myself next time round. It's the same with everything Impreza though. I need new brake pads turned into pads + drop links + geometery. Oh and a strut brace was ordered at that time too. Cusco as well, non of your pink ended fake STI stuff. Looking for new wing turned into "och I'll just get the splitter too. Why the hell not." The 19K service turned into "well it'd be rude not to get the Tein springs done whilst it's in".

Spectacles, testicles, more testicles, more testicles, wallet and watch.

Peter does love his boost. A question - if I wanted the EGT gauge, would I be better waiting to get it fitted once I get the new exhaust system on?

21,000 miles, including 3 track days (one a full day) and I'm still on my second set of pads. How the hell do you manage to go through 6 sets of them? I'm using the EBC Red Stuffs on standard discs at the moment without any problems.

I can't remember! To this day none of us can remember exactly what I was trying to do. I was cycling as fast as my wee legs could take me, but for what purpose I cannot say. Left a dent in that door that survived a good few years.
