kathenson82 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Hi guys totally new to subarus and car clubs but tried my partners impreza and immediately wanted one haha. Mine I have to say is better than his hehe. I am however looking for some new bits for it if anyone can point me in the right direction of cheap parts :)
Gambit Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Hi welcome to S.O.C and nothing much to join a club but certainly think you have joined the best and most friendly club here :D And if we can help locate any parts or know of any I'm sure we will be happy to help :D And please feel free to post any pictures of the two car's we do like seeing pictures on here :) 1
Scooby Pete Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Welcome to the club. Depends on what you want. But a good starting place is http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk They carry for most models. You could also try http://www.just-subaru.com again most models covered. 1

Jay762 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Wotcha and welcome - its a slippery slope when you start adding / changing things but its a lot of fun :) 1
Gambit Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 oh and an sti rear spoiler ;) Oh I like you all ready a woman after my own petrol filled heart ;) And the car looks spot on great little find by the look's of it :) I think it will be 2nd hand parts for the bit's you have mentioned I will keep an eye out for parts.

Miggs Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Mate of mines just had his silver lassie painted a slightly darker shade of silver, I forget what car the colour was from but it looks good, oh and welcome aboard too Sent from my Nexus 7 1
Miggs Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 What interior bits you after, I have a full set of leather door cards for your model, the leather is in yellow but you can get leather dye kit Sent from my Nexus 7
Diz Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 From one petrolhead lady to another - a big hello and welcome! Your car is a beauty. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine. 1
Diz Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 kathernson82, I was on the verge of throwing a tantrum at a breaker I recently ordered parts from, but was being pretty impatient, as they knew of something more suitable (colour matched) coming in. Damn my feckin' hormones, TF my BF was talking to them. I should know better after 20+ years of scavenging around breakers yards, often in the rougher parts of Glasgow, quote "it's a c*** tae get it oot, and it'll be an even bigger c*** tae fit it in" was the usual advice! The breakers I used recently were in Fleetwood, Cumbria, and break Scoobies on a regular basis. They do up their own vehicles too. I got a boot lid for £40, rear bumper for £100. Most damage is to the outside of the vehicle so if you are looking for inner bits they probably have a whole bunch of nice inner stuff intact. Fairly new to the forum myself, so don't want to upset the mods posting unauthorized URLs. You sound like you want to make a nice job of your car - mine has a six-CD changer fitted between the rear passenger seat and boot, something you might be interested in. Makes the original frontage less appealing for theft.
BlackBosh Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks for the heads up on the breakers i may have to take a trip up there soon its not too far [he says]
Miggs Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 fleetwoods pretty much on my doorstep, ive been to that particular one a few times with a mate of mine and it proved to be most useful for hard to find bits, theres always the option to stop by here for a brew too if the mood takes you 2
BlackBosh Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Thank you for the offer the you may regret it I drink brews for a living lol. See avatar ;) 1
Miggs Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 i like a good coffee and have nothing better to do most days than sit around drinking it so it's not an offer i'd regret 1
kathenson82 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks for all that info, unfortunately i am based on the south coast so would be a bit of a trek up there lol. Ive been ebaying it up so have most things already now haha altho still looking for an sti spoiler if anyone knows of one going cheaper than £115 and maybe some replacement seats if mine dont clean up at the weekend. Have just finally got round to cleaning the outside today thanks to rain finally giving us a break and have found my rear passenger light has a hole in it, so need a new one of those too :/ 1
