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.

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.

oh aye, I looked at those mate. 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.

No I didnt know that mate, don't suppose you know any that do?

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!

Gave the car a quick wash in the rain this morning because it looked as if I'd been rallying. And bought myself this.

Not one for toys but this was worth it.

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.
