Thanks for the comments Mr B.
Thanks to the Xmas budget the Subaru budget has taken a dent. Fitted the spacers to the rear shocks today, in doing so had to remove the top mounts. Shocks seem in pretty good nick so they can wait til next year. It’s now sitting level and the headlights are back to shining on the road! For £35 I’d say they’re a great stop gap.
The car has a full set of (almost new) Yokohama all weather tyres which are great. Quiet and not unsettled at all by deep water, leaves etc. Can’t wait to see some snow with it, rear diff is limited slip like my wrx so great fun to be had 🤪
In conclusion I can’t believe how much fun it is! It looks like a boring family car but will sail away from traffic lights like a stabbed rat, happy to chuck it into the twisty stuff and all the comfort of heated seats and the like.
Next job is to give the leather interior some much needed attention. Autoglym to the rescue. They’re not really that dirty but desperate for some treatment to soften the leather. So far the Autoglym leather care balm is working wonders. I’d recommend it for sure.
