W444AJD Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Hi everyone, After a few months looking I've bought myself an Impreza wagon. 55 plate hawkeye with 160bhp NA engine - couldn't quite justify the extra costs for a WRX and honestly think the 160bhp engine is quite good fun anyway. I came from a VAG 1.9 TDi with 105bhp, so this feels much brisker. Hopefully it will prove reliable, I managed 36mpg on the 'delivery trip' from Suffolk up to Glasgow which isn't too awful. Bought a new Sony Head unit which I will install soon - anyone got any advice about best place to run the Bluetooth mic cable? Wee photo below...maybe belonged to a previous member?
Gambit Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Looks good mate any other mods planned ? as for the mic I've been told best place if you can get it that far and fasten it on, guess depends on size too is around the sun visor. Meant to be clear and less noise from the window. but never fitted one to be honest.
david1972 Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 I have mine mounted at the top of the a pillar on the drivers side...have run the cable across the ledge under the steering column then up inside the trim on the a pillar itself Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
W444AJD Posted July 15, 2016 Author Posted July 15, 2016 thanks - just waiting on head unit arriving in the post then I'll give it a go. One of the remote keys with the car is dud - spoke to a guy here who said the best place to go for a new one is direct to Subaru - guessing that won't be cheap though...
Jay762 Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Wotcha and welcome - my mic is fitted on top of the steering column - gives clear pick up
W444AJD Posted July 22, 2016 Author Posted July 22, 2016 got my new head unit sorted and working great. Needed a couple bits from eBay for wiring loom and aerial. I ran the mic up to just above the rear view mirror, works pretty well so happy with the outcome. 1
W444AJD Posted October 12, 2016 Author Posted October 12, 2016 at work last week - my wagon looks pretty small next to the ship.
Anthbax Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Welcome. I ran mine up to the sun visor and didn't have a problem with it. Which subsea 7 vessel is it? I used to work at the research base under the Erskine bridge!
W444AJD Posted October 18, 2016 Author Posted October 18, 2016 @Anthbax its Seven Petrel, over in Leith harbour. I've been at the pipeline place in Old Kilpatrick a couple times too - normally some nice motors in the car park there!
Anthbax Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 I never made it to any of the yards for them but I've seen the boats in the flesh, they're massive! Yeah there are a lot of tidy ones kicking about in there. Especially the Capri rocking the car park with its original Recaro's in. My S2000 used to sit nice next to that lol. Not as nice as my Scooby would do though! 1
