  1. Ahh no worries I will phone him soon cheers mate
  2. Yeah I think they seen it as a joke and it still gets publicity for them so it all helps at the end of the day lol and here is the amazon one I cant get the vauxhall one unfortunately http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B000KKNQBK
  3. Good write up and some good information for new buyers thanks
  4. Yeah same there is a few there was a vauxhall corsa one but I cant find that for some reason ... have you had a read at the veet hair removal reviews on amazon ?
  5. Had to be done I seen the one with the mercedes and it reminded me of this lol
  6. Ahh ok was just curious because I lowered my honda civic with just springs but still got alot of roll and were comfy. I can see your point I wouldnt mind paying the extra for good coilovers as it will be a rarity that the car gets taken to a track as it has only done 900 miles since march so it has barely been driven its really just a toy/project What I ideally need them for is comfort when just going to the shops but if I feel a blast around a back road is appropriate then I can be confident that they can withstand the pressure Im not one for slamming cars but I would love to close the arch gap a little tucking a nice set of wheels but I still wanna get over speed bumps without worrying about scraping the bottom of my car Im also a firm believer in you get what you pay for I have used raceland coilovers before and dont get me wrong they were stiff and were good in corners but were very harsh and as you said blew seals every so often I had a bad expirience with spax and that was the bottom bolts attachment that hold onto the hub snapped right off when I was driving on a newly built road (could possibly have been the speed bumps around my area) Back to bc coilovers alot of my friends use them and say they are good but online reviews are different on websites lol its really confusing as to who I would believe and I dont really wanna have ti buy them and buy new ones 6 months down the track I also know exactly what you mean the cheap coilovers manufacturing process is alot cheaper and the materials used are inferior to the bigger dearer brands that are on sale Thanks for the input Davievtec
  7. Allright folks had a look around and couldnt find this on thos forum so here it is laugh yourself mad with this http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=220768216260&cmd=VIDESC
  8. Allright folks what coilovers have you fitted to your impreza and how are they ? I was speaking to a company about tein coilovers and have been advised to stay clear from them as they seize easily in the cold weather in the uk and corrode very quickly and have been known for the top bolts to snap off, Obviously I dont wanna buy coilovers and have to clean them Every week as I have not got the time for that is there any coilovers on the market that work great in subarus and from your expirience what coilovers are best for road and track use and also worst ? Cheers Davievtec

  15. Hi there as you may know I am new to subaru at the moment However I dont lack in expirience in working on cars over the past 12 years I have gained expirience in fixing cars but most expirience gained was from learning how to paint a vehicle to a brilliant standard I started off doing city and guilds level 1 and 2 in vehicle repair and maintinence then I started working for mercedes benz at the age of 16 and thats where I learned how to paint cars and refinish them to a standard mercedes benz are happy with then I went on to doing level 1 2 3 and 4 of vehicle body repair and refinishing and special paint effects, the reason for this paragraph is because my subaru is going to go through the most extensive work in its life time such as, whole new running gear new engine new paint and full race spec interior. The car owes me £900 as I swapped a 1998 golf gti turbo which I paid £900 for my plans for the subaru are as follows Engine and running gear :- Sti closed deck with stroker kit and forged internals Uprated injectors and ht leads Uprated fuel pump and pressure regulator New timing belt Bigger turbo (undecided as of yet what one) Full 3inch exhaust system decatted (purchased 2.5inch) I will be running uprated drop links Coilovers and strut braces and engine braces Paint and exterior:- 17 inch oz prodrive alloy wheels finished in anthracite Sti fog lamp covers Sti rear clusters Full smoothed badgeless (done) 22b style side vents on bonnet Sti intercooler scoop (purchased) General clean up of bodywork Full respray in black metalic unsure on what paint as of yet Window tints Sti hi level spoiler (purchased) Interior:- sti clocks sti front seats or evo 6 reccaros (dont judge just like them) Full race spec roll cage Alluminium door panels Manual window winders And speakers installed onto them if i want music Thats all i can think of just now if theres anything else i have missed or named wrong please tell me as im not good with names I will upload pictures very soon thanks for looking
