Redneck Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I have noticed today that my front c frame is like Swiss cheese. Looking online for a new one I noticed alot of people have just removed them. Can think of better things to spend the money on if I can just do away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggyeye Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I drove without one for 5 days while one was ordered. Didn't really notice a difference but then I didn't drive hard. Only replaced cause I found a cheap one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneck Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Are they hard to remove and what do you call hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggyeye Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Can't remember off hand but it's a few bolts on each corner. Been ages since I did mine. I think there is a YouTube video on it somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneck Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Cheers. I'll have a look. Do you know of anyone else that has removed them. Little nervous as it's a-b car and the kids are in it half the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggyeye Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I think a few on here have. I haven't heard of it being a danger. Can't remember on the mot side of things but it shouldn't be a danger. Can't hurt to ask around though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneck Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 That's what I thought. I've heard upside it improves the handling and sheds abit of weight. But subaru know what there doing and obviously put them on for a reason. Could be a front impact thing. Hope some people know more than me because it has to come off regardless or it will probably fall off within 6 month anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggyeye Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I only replaced mine cause I'm finicky like that. If you can get a decent one and athe a good price then go for it I say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneck Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Oh without a doubt. Hard to find a bugeye one though. Is there any other models that use the same frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggyeye Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Not sure on that. A blob eye may fit but that's a wild guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneck Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Any ideas on cheapest place to get one. There's a few breaking. But have they got the same problem. I know it is a common fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
