  1. I've been using AutoGlym for years and never had any issues with it smearing. Also use Rain-X but then you don't need wipers anyway The secret to using both is to polish on and let them dry before wiping off the residue. Also I found with using Bosch Aeroblades, they contact the windscreen much better across the entire wiper blade which also helps reduce smearing! Quite often smearing is caused by the blades themselves being dirty!
  2. Not good I had a little mishap after swapping the RB5 for an 03STI. The RB5 are such a forgiving car and so easy to drive fast, when you swap to something else you can very easily get caught out! Make sure you get your neck checked out, not worth taking the risk with head and neck injuries!
  3. Looks good, but I would suggest a lower height, maybe so the stem is flush with the bonnet height so the display part is half above the bonnet height and half below!
  4. Have you thought about a mirrored tint just on the back. I think the mirrored tints work really well with white cars. Add some black wheels and mud flaps and you've got yourself a WRC gravel car
  5. I love the Arduino boards! Playing with one at the moment to build a light/sound operated trigger system for my DSLR!
  6. Looking good Spots make a huge improvement IMHO
  7. No problem to post general for sale items under the Parts for sale section, but as its a local pick-up I'll let you keep this one here
  8. Might be a bit tricky reversing
  9. Did I not say 5 deci-degrees Anyway, I knew there was a 5 in it
  10. Nice pictures, looks like a great show! Could do with a few more pictures of the JDM birds though
  11. Looking good! You fancy doing mine?
  12. The ALK only replaces the lower control arm bushes, any other bushes would need to be replaced separately!
  13. AFAIK, the anti lift kit is just a set of uprated castor bushes that add an extra 5 degrees of castor angle. You can usually slightly adjust the castor angle which will affect the handling, but won't change the feeling of the bumps. Actually, I'm surprised with just the ALK fitted you get a noticeably harder ride. You should get better steering feel, but I wouldn't expect much else. May just be that you can feel the bumps through the steering more or even just that the pot holes got bigger with the snow/ice!
  14. My car came with the 18" BBS alloys fitted with 245 width tyres! I have 235 winter tyres on 17" too and would definitely say the car feels much better on 245 width!
  15. Don't forget the PCD!
  16. Now that looks the business Maybe a respray in black and it would be perfect
  17. Looks good, but could do with tinted windows
  18. Fantastic pics Iain
  19. Welcome
  20. Sorry to hear you're not so good, hope everything goes well
  21. That's even funnier when you understand the actual German
  22. Mmmm.... I can see the future for my car ...if only the forged BBS alloys I already have were not so nice and light!
  23. I'm only going off the model codes rather than any technical knowledge so I may be wrong! GDA would be applicable for a 2002 bug eye WRX! The links the OP posted are for import GDA Impreza's so if he has an import, then they would seem to be correct from the description on the camskill site. If he has a UK car, then he should look under the UK WRX section on camskill. e.g. http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m10b0s2704p30315 Of course, if in doubt, he could always give them a call and check the details!
