The hatch only has one reverse. I swapped out one of my reverse lights on my classic to fit an LED fog in there...no MOT problems.

Keep the entries coming...

Had one new screen and a screen repair on my last car - based on the number of thumps the STI is getting, it'll be needing repaired/new screen at some stage too! Recommend Autoglass in Stirling - excellent job on my last car, even with the rain sensors, soundproofed screen and autodimming mirror gubbins. No problems with it. Brian

Depends what level you need your car done to - there's a "fine" line between detailing and valeting in terms of time and cost. Brian

Well done on the mag - we'll never know how much work went into it... Brian

My car has done 3500 in less than 3 months and that includes a couple of weeks in getting work done & bits fitted. No worries - it's a Japanese car and will do hundreds of thousands of miles if looked after and treated well. Brian.

Hope it's good That's heading for Skyline territory...

Just spoke to Shell Whitburn and they said, via the manager: "Basically what is happening is Shell have added a new additive to the fuel that improves performance, economy and cleaning power. They have had to wait until all the tanks in Scotland were empty and then test them - we had our tanks tested at the end of the week - to make sure they can take the new mixture. We don't know when deliveries will resume but, basically, once all the stations in Scotland are empty and tested it should restart". So that's what is happening! Brian.

Check out www.detailingworld.co.uk for tonnes of info on foam etc. Group buys etc and you can buy the snow foam from many retailers who advertise and discount there. B.

Good to know - cheers Davie

Business class one on my car with Elephant. Costs basically nothing extra.

Good choice. To be fair the new Impreza also lacks the build quality in the interiors and paintwork dept. too. Brian.

I'm thinking if some tanks need relined and others need emptied flushed etc it's not likely to be back within a few days for many garages? My local in Whitburn has been down half it's tanks for about 6 months as water got into the fuel and the tanks cracked apparently - ongoing dispute between delivery company and station I believe.

Just re-reading this post Imy - oh dear - how true!

My mods so far are: (Buy new STI from Gav @ Ian Grieve, Falkirk) STI Mats, bootliner and clear bumper protector (to be fitted) 18 STI Lusteric wheels & Dunlop P9000 Sport tyres (17's stored ready for the winter & some winter tyres) Fog Light Kit Winter detail by JKP Detail Prodrive spring kit & alignment by Progrip PPP pack fitted (the ECU is now mapped at Prodrive) Rear parking sensors (and colour coding by Burgoynes) STI Quickshift kit Interior Dimming Compass Mirror (waiting on one part to be fitted) Double Centre Console Box Rally Armor flaps w/ red logo's (to be fitted when the weather improves) Perrin roof aerial Prodrive Battery Clamp, Oil cap and gearknob Oh - and bought way too many cleaning products, waxes, Autosmart bulk stuff, foam lance, new pressure washer, brushes, towels, cloths, etc Dear God - this looks ridiculous when I look at it now...need to keep this list out of wife-sight?!?! Brian...

So it could be a while then?

I think they should bring the saloon to the UK if it's available, especially in STI guise then people would have a choice and may keep sales strong. In saying that, I don't mind jumping ship to other brands if they don't have what I need. You are totally right to keep what you have - the cost to change etc is not worth what you get. Brian

Terrible mate. At least it's still running and with you. Brian.

Should also say the Prodrive spring kit, coupled with the 18's makes a huge difference to the steering and suspension feel.

The pics there are for the newly introduced US WRX which mentions a unique front end and "fender flares" etc and been on US forums for a wee bit. Looks good but I think the new hatch in STI form looks very good with a few subtle changes anyway - lights & bushes are a VERY easy fix. As for the saloon - I'd absolutely buy the hatch over the saloon every time now after owning it - so much more modern to look at, live with and drive IMHO Brian

Now running Tesco 99 - will see how it goes - no V Power at Shell Whitburn for a week!

I had 4 sets on the Lexus - no questions asked!

Sounds good

lol I try my best. Saw you at Hypertech big yin but never got a chance to talk crap... Brian

Here's some night time beading pics! Brian
