tom_gr7 Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Anyone else using winter tyres? I'm just pricing some up and sending out a few emails requesting price matches lol. Gonna go for these If anyone is curious. http://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin/rshop.pl?details=Ordern&cart_id=26829416.110.28448&kplz=&Cookie=&ABT=&typ=R-245918&dsco=110
david1972 Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Look good those Tom mate. I'd picked these out a few weeks ago when toying with the idea - a full set fitted would only have been £240 fitted and they get some good reviews. Decided against it in the end as I haven't got the spare money at the minute. http://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin//rshop.pl?s_p=Nankang-Snow-SV-2-215_55-R17-94V&details=Ordern&typ=R-200281&cart_id=26829416.110.28448&ranzahl=4&Breite=215&Quer=55&Felge=17&Load=94&weiter=0&Ang_pro_Seite=50&sort_by=preis&Transport=P&dsco=110&sowigan=Wi&m_s=3&rsmFahrzeugart=ALL 1
22 mpg Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Just gave mine a wash, used the good old two bucket method. Nice and clean again now, until tomorrow that is. Could do with a pressure washer to wash off all that winter grime before hand though, but I dont have an outside tap. Also saw the neighbour park up in his naf Nissan qwash quish, only to start checking out my legacy lol. Tom do you know some pressure washers will draw water from a bucket or a water butt. 1
Gaulson Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Still without my car, sad times :(. Everyone... don't take your Subaru for granted, show it all the love in the world :P 1

Can pick them up for 55 quid each in 215/45/17's, not too bad price wise. Looked at quite a few in this thread of Stants - http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/10525-winter-tyres/ The Nokian A3's have a C rating for economy so I'm thinking that might give me a few extra MPG. Atm I can squeeze about 400-450 miles from a full tank of vpower, a few more miles would be nice lol. Tom do you know some pressure washers will draw water from a bucket or a water butt. No I didnt know that mate, don't suppose you know any that do?
david1972 Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Most karchers can nowadays I believe Tom. Not sure if you need to buy a special attachment or not though Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
22 mpg Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 The Karcher demo's i've seen on qvc just put a hose in a water butt with a filter on the end to stop it sucking up crap.
Dogconker Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Well we know what you watch late at night now [emoji3] But yes, a lot of karchers will suck water up because most have a internal pump. Just check online you'll see which or the karcher website. Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk

bitman Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 scrape the ice of my windscreen this morning
Gaulson Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Ice??? Better not be any ice yet, I don't have my Subaru until later in the week Update on the Subaru: 1. turbo specialist guy said the turbo is in very good condition for a 100k mile turbo ;). Quite a bit of place in the spindle so he's going to replace the bearings and make it good as new. 2. Up Pipe has 2 x 6" cracks near the turbo flange that could very well be causing my problems, got a De-Cat stainless pipe on the way :). This will get heat wrapped! 3. It's had part of the heat shield removed from the manifold as it was very rusted and falling apart, replaced with heat wrap. 4. Service with some nice oil has been carried out. 5. Prodrive Y-Pipe is being fitted. 6. 2 new coil packs have also been fitted. 7. Hopefully having some new speakers put in as well while it's in the garage :). This Subaru is going to be a different car when I get it back I think! 1

tom_gr7 Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Just ordered my new tyres, a mate found them on tyre leader, only cost me 320 quid. It wants to !Removed! snow now!
Dogconker Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Left mine at home and used train to London, got it filthy driving to Hull. Always seems to get really dirty driving there and back. Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk

Gambit Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Gave the car a quick wash in the rain this morning because it looked as if I'd been rallying. And bought myself this. http://www.corgi.co.uk/shop/black-friday-sale/subaru-impreza-s5-wrc-1999-rallye-monte-carlo-17th-20th-january-1999-richard-burns-robert-reid.html Not one for toys but this was worth it. 1
tom_gr7 Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 lol, I wanna buy car stuff.. not sure what? Would like some mud flaps? any suggestions? hahah
Gaulson Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Been to London to build an exhibition stand, all done! Back there on Sunday to take it down. Still don't have my car back :( UPDATE: Been sent these pics... The De-Cat up pipe has arrived, this will be heat wrapped before being fitted. Also the turbo is back from the specialist, been rebuilt and it's ready to go back on :). Will give details of what has been done later.
bowthruster Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Just ordered a cosworth panel filter :) 2
