They look vaguely familiar[] I take it you just swapped the one side as the other 2 don't have tyres....or do they!?? Hope you're happy with them. They are clean enough but a proper coat of paint and they'll be near mint!! Always meant to give them a final rub and coat but then I'd have asked more for them[]

Might just be up for one of the half day places cos I doubt the Legacy could take a whole day's abuse. I expect the morning session will be quieter than the afternoon.

Well I'm far from your area so wouldn't know where to go but have had problems with these in the past. Its a real pain. £15 a wheel is a rip off though as it doesn't require any extra time to do. They just fit a hub to the machine and mount the wheel on it. So they either have the tool or don't so I would refuse to pay over the odds for it. I had to get 4 tyres taken off a set of rims and onto a set of cyclones then balanced up with new valves and paid £30 for a specialist up here in Glasgow to do it. Wasn't a bad deal. Try phoning all the wheel dealers in the area or even powder coaters as a last resort. I find if you say you can get it done cheaper elsewhere some will drop their price to get the busines if they are quiet.

Got a nice set of wheels from a local forum member but one has been badly kerbed. I'm looking into getting it repired but so far it doesn't look cheap so if anyone has a spare kicking about then pleae let me know. Cheers

No experience of Subaru fitments by Bilstein but I do on my pug. The Streetline kit is pants, way too soft. The Sprintline on the other hand is a bit more like it. A tad stiffer than standard but still gives a good ride. I tried AVO's once and they were useless. Bilstein combined with Eibach springs were a good choice in my experience.

Get a big rag doll and chuck it in front of them next time. That'll scare the sh1t out them and maybe make them realise how easily it could have been a kid running out onto the road. I know for a fact if anyone hit my kid due to reckless driving they'd be beaten to a pulp. Try get their numbers and report them. I had some muppet try to run me off the road a few months ago and went to the Poilce to report them and as I had a witness I could have got them done for dangerous driving. Was an extreme case and it had to be done and completely unprovoked too, guy was a full on headcase. Just asked for him to be given a warning and logged on the Police records.

Cheers I'll check that site out. Seevers I will PM you

Try Meguiars Scratch X. It's pretty good at removing light scratches. DOes a good job of getting marks off in my experience and even if it doesn't work on your problem its handy to have.

Ferarri F40 Also would like a F355 Berlinetta. To me it's better looking than the 360

<< Stick to the Duke's Pass and there-on into Callandar or up the A85 towards Loch Earn. K. >> The Duke's pass is my own private test track. Is ideal for setting up a good fast road car. Thrash my mum's Z4 up there and the twisties are great fun especially in the wet! Some real dodgy bits you don't want to lose it at though due to the drops! Keeps the adrenalin pumping. Went round it on a fast bike once and that was even scarier!

<< that's a damn fine job you have done there Dave i quite like those wheels. >> Cheers Probably look better in the photo that in the flesh but not bad. From 2 paces they look mint. Only close inspection do they look sprayed as the finish isn't smooth like a factory finish.

Bourne Identity Matrix - first one only! Ronin Italian Job Funniest film - Happy Gilmore Point Break Cannonball Run - hillarious!!

Wasn't me - got a Legacy GT TT wagon dark blue with cross spokes! I am in Dumbarton a lot but live out near Aberfoyle. Just thought post up seeing as Dumbarton was mentioned

Ok before and after pics of my DIY wheel refurb. Bear in mind this cost me under a tenner to do so not exactly powder coating quality Anyone want to buy them then let me know. Got 3 really good tyres and one a bit worn on inside A huge inprovement I think. They were getting really tatty and bubbling and kerbing all over them. Spent ages sanding them down to make sure the paint will stick properly and not flake off after a few months!
