Swissol but Meguairs will also be very good.

Any good wax NOT polish will be good if used regularly.

Brian

Gorgeous

I don't think there is any charge.

I have not used the service but several have and I don't remember mention of a charge for it.

They certainly dropped me off wherever no charge.

Big John, EVOJKP had his STI picked up from his work in Grangemouth IIRC.

Brian

Typical,

Happened to me several times.

Make sure you report a bad user to eBay via their member services. It will at least penalise the member - there are some who think it's a laugh or not real buying - try doing that at a real auction

List it again though

Brian

Yep,

Nice drive and meet up with no stupid maneouvres - several people, not all Scoobs I may add, done some really daft overtakes and drove FAR too close to cars at the Loch Lomond meet - although the general standard of driving (and some forgetting locking wheel nuts) was good, there was certainly scope there for stupid accidents.

Let's keep it un-crazy - for those of us who have been off-road (!AHEM!) you'll know what I mean

Points to prove are for GT4 and proper races, not the road.

Brian

The same as you did Matt - TOUCHE

I would imagine it will be on the hand-out on the day RE directions etc??

Grant will no doubt correct me

Brian

Drive are closing due to, apparently, "Market trends" or something similar - in otherwords - bad reputation, certainly on the Subaru side - even tried changing the name.

Nobles is the obvious choice - most people rate them as good so should be no worries, they'll drop you off at your work if you ask in advance or will even come and collect your car on the transporter and bring it back when finished.

Yes,

Me (several times ).

Derek, the bodyshop manager is slow and methodical, lots of hand work and a good sprayer works there too.

The job will be a good 'un. No worries.

Brian

He's in Sunny Bathgate

Brian

Stephen,

Do the dials / instruments in the 05 onwards cars light up blue with red needles?

Noticed it in one of your shots above.

Brian

Meant to say,

Another thing I have found to be useful for cleaning the build up (well, some) from inside the wheels is,

The ridiculously named,

Cillit Bang!

Well,

After 7 hours I have cleaned both sets of alloys up and they look pretty good if I don't say so myself. I could have spent another couple of hours T-Cut'ing scratches and stone chips away but no point as they'll only get chipped again anyway.

After the amount of effort not sure if it was really worth it but I did clean my calipers and got them to say "Subaru" again

After steam cleaning the entire interior last weekend its starting to look quite good - well, the wheels and interior are

Just need to make the car look less "used" - but why start now

Brian

I've spent five hours cleaning mine so far - VERY time consuming and messy. Look cleaner so far...

Keep 'em wet in the pics Malky - they look much better that way - wish I could keep mine permanently "wet look".

Good luck with the sale.

Brian

Congratulations to all three of you

Hope all is good.

Brian

Hi Jamie,

You should try to ask them to fix the spelling on their home page as they do "Preformance" cars

Must be before they work on them

I can recommend a good custom builder exhaust company

Brian

I touch goats The Swig

Gordon,

The route, times and stop off points are kept secret until the day to prevent unwanted tag-ons and interest from governent agencies.

Also, Grant has probably not been on since you posted originally so he may no have replied.

He may be able to PM you an estimated time and place - but it may not be exact.

Brian

May be a stupid piont:

BUT

Do 05 cars not have a different offset/pattern or something else similar which makes them suitable for 05 onwards models only?? I am sure wheels like the PFF7's (Prodrive) are available or will be shortly in the new 05 onwards pattern???

I would double check this as the wheels may only be suitable for 05 onwards cars - this however may only apply to the STI BUT the suspesnion setup is definately different on both, with a wider rear track.

Worth a thought.

Brian

Pete and West Lothian Scoob - something similar about both and can't quite place it

Brian

If only

It is more likely to be a T5, R reg, 237,000 miles on the clock

Brian

True - spotted at last.

C&C do know how to build 'em.

Brian
