david1972 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 And the 3 litre will do that 0-60 [emoji5] Haha close, but not quite....8.2 The 3.6r does, and I'd dearly love that to be my next port of call, but need the taxing regime to change first....£485 is just too much to stomach Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I'm ok with my 9 secs to 60, plus the cheap tax and good mpg from the diesel, though I did drive the new forester XT and it was pretty rapid, just felt a heavy car though. I couldn't justify £500 road tax, that's just scary Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Was speaking with my brother in law last night, showing him the VF turbo I'm after and the supporting mods. He turned round and said he's seen "IHI" on my turbo.... now that's interesting. I need to find out if it's true, if so probably have to take it to the dyno and find out the current power.

tom_gr7 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'd love a 3ltr legacy. I love my 2ltr, but a 3ltr would be awesome. Sadly, I expect it would be too much to insure and tax. Maybe my next legacy / outback will be a 3ltr. Be nice if they do a 3ltr engine on one of the new models? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I think 2.5 seems to be the top whack, even the new forester XT is only a 2.0l Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_gr7 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 was driving along today, was two lanes merging in together. I was in the left hand lane and some **** in a vectra tried to block me from merging in! He knew the lanes were merging, yet he tried to force past on my right hand side. lol he didn't succeed though, as he bottled it. vauxhalls eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 You didn't need to say **** in a vectra, you could ha e just said vectra driver. The two go hand in hand. Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Popped my clay cherry (I'd never used clay before) well impressed with the results :-) Then gave it a polish and sealed it with wax just in time for the rain :-( Well at least it beads nicely now and should protect it over the winter . Paid just under £60 delivered for the b&h clay , oil filter and some fuchs pro r oil with the club discount @opie oils :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Yeah I had only clayed this year it is pretty dam good. A Lot of work but I do love the results I've done it twice anyway now :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
