david1972 Posted October 19, 2014 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
Dogconker Posted October 19, 2014 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
Gaulson Posted October 21, 2014 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 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
Dogconker Posted October 21, 2014 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
tom_gr7 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 oh I found it, I found the outback I was looking at the other day. Or atleast one of the outbacks. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201407115739780/sort/pricedesc/quicksearch/true/page/1/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/fuel-type/petrol/radius/1500/make/subaru/engine-size-cars/3l_to_3-9l/usedcars/postcode/sr84ta?logcode=p on that note... anyone got 15k they aint using? hahah

bowthruster Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Had my backbox replaced with another prodrive one,but the bracket which holds the left hanger isnt there??Can you buy the brackets?the holes are there for the bracket

The tax is far too much though, far too much to justify.
Gambit Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Bought a new back bumper as I had a crack in the one on now.... Oh and it's of a blobeye STI so now means I'm going to have to buy new rear lights and maybe a diffuser why I'm at it :D 1

tom_gr7 Posted October 22, 2014 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
Dogconker Posted October 22, 2014 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
tom_gr7 Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I got overtook by a WRX STI on the A1 North this evening. He was doing about 70/75 in a 50 zone... Then I saw a Tribeca! I was like wow, wtf is that! 2
david1972 Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Tom...they are wicked! Super sexy sweeping curved dash inside too; I do love the interiors, although it has a face you'd struggle to love lol Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
Gambit Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Put the new rear bumper on definitely need the rear lights now
savage bulldogs Posted October 24, 2014 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
Gambit Posted October 24, 2014 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
stants Posted October 24, 2014 Author Posted October 24, 2014 Which b&h compound did you go for savage ?
Dogconker Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 clay good, wax shiny, face smiley Hoping weather is good this weekend so I can do my 2 girls. Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
stants Posted October 24, 2014 Author Posted October 24, 2014 While your all on top I'll be servicing the under carriage started to prep the wheel arches for a coat of underseal, Have to borrow the old mans focus this weekend until is dried [emoji20]
Dogconker Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Eww focus. Not a big ford fan, especially the focus, we have two chavved up STs next door which just about sums them up Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
