Today I feel like the Scooby rescue service

[KillerShark1978]

Today I feel good because the Work I have done over the last 1.5 months to my new Scooby is finally 100% complete.

When I first picked my new 2009 WRX-S up it was in serious need, had 40mm lowing springs on it, which had in turn damaged the lower arm bushes on the front wishbone, it was wearing cheap rubber on all 4 corners front 2 tyres where not even MOT worthy with a bulge in one and wearing thin on the inside of another (obvious tracking issues), result was handling was all wrong horrible to drive.

The only positives where the Engine was good with low miles, cam-belt was only 20,000 miles (4 years old) with evidence, service book was better than 100% but due again straight away, and it had good bodywork.

To get it right its took the following over the last month

1. Major Service, including Spark Plugs, DIff and Gear box Oil, Break fluid and coolant.

2. Complete Suspension refurbish, new springs, drop links, wishbones all round, everything back to original OEM standard.

3. Full set of new tyres  (Good Year Eagle 1). During tyre change 1 wheel was found to be cracked on the inside rim and buckled.

4. Full wheel powder coating refurbishment  on all wheels, including welding and unbuckling of broken wheel.

5. Tracking alignment finalisation, taking advantage of a 2 year tracking alignment care plan offered by Kwick-Fit when purchasing the tyres.

And today FINALLY have finished it off with a full on "clay Bar" wash, polish and wax using the finest Meguiars cleaning products on the market.

End result is driving now feels perfect, looks right, sounds right, handles right, drives right, so am just patting myself on the back for a job well done and enjoying my car.
