Made it famous haha, filming for a new TV show and they needed to borrow a car so my subaru was used. Shame they dident let me go buy some new alloys first haha.

Also picked up the paint to get rid of the chrome.

Tried to free up the boot handle a bit and attempted to remove boot trim to see what's going on in there, gave up because its cold and I didn't want to snap any plastic parts.

Then I came in and read up in why my clutch shudders so much when warm. Sigh...

I think most scoobys judder unless you have the anti judder clutch kit fitted

I've got a 15month old XV and even that judders a bit, my wife's does a bit too.

Subaru just say it's a characteristic of the brand and unless it's severe they won't do anything about it.

It's pretty severe, especially when performing a hill start pulling out of a junction (I think the hill assist doesn't help it) I get violent judder & clutch slip, pretty embarrassing when in a pokey 4WD that can't pull itself up hill  :D

It was supposed to have a recently fitted clutch when I bought it, I can only guess the previous owner must have ragged the hell out of it before part X'ing, I'm going see a local specialist this week & see what he says.

 

In happier news; I bought a new powered sub last week to compliment my newly fitted head unit & even though I've yet to wire it up (I'm not looking forward to routing the leads!), I just had to try it out in it's new home.

Doe the full size wheel fit in there ok ?

Just wondering as I have a spare one now and would swap the space saver for it

 

Yeah there's still room room around the wheel in the pic, I was quite surprised to find a full size matching alloy wheel in there tbh.  :)

Calipers have been "scooby " blue for 3 yrs so I fancied a change and wanted to try something a bit different .

Wheels are polar black which is gloss black with blue n silver metallic flakes but my phone camera doesn't pick up the colours very well .

They're gonna be a pain to keep clean cos they looked like this after a 10 mile drive through town lol

Patient..........me Gaulson  :lol: cant wait for the results,i do need some carbon on black tbh to see if i can get away with it. If i end up getting parts sprayed to match............well might as well just get the sti spoiler in the 1st place(imo anyway).

 

Jury still out for now,will be summer time i guess for me
