  1. Yes I think i will definitely leave it until next year then... I am happy with the car as is but obviously everyone fancies a little bit more :P I do however need a new/second hand set of rear shocks as it is like a pogo stick ha-ha... any ideas where i can get some for a good price which are useable and not leaking or just as bad? Im also going to service it so what oil would you guys recommend for my car? just a normal 10w/40 semi synth car oil or do these engines need specific?
  2. thanks ahhh Gambit... you see!!! if i had a pound for every accident i have seen and heard about 'just going down the road and back' or 'round the block' or 'the shop'... i would be a very rich man!!!!! i can honestly say i am innocent of that crime and always wear my bike gear... if its too hot then breathable bike gear!!! no excuses for me!!!!!! even when it comes to driving i wear my seatbelt before moving off and never use my phone etc i love to ride my bike and drive my cars and vans... there for i dont like distractions! haha but yeah i think i will postpone my mods until next year :D
  3. gutted man... yeah ive had a few spills! not my fault though, smashed my first TL1000S on diesel middle of the night and only 2 weeks before i got married ha-ha, then got knocked off a CB500 at work (im a motorcycle mechanic by trade... now self employed though!) by an old man who admitted to to joining a roundabout at 60mph whilst I was already on it and plowed straight in to the side of me... not good :( since then i have done 6 months for a 3 hour police chase on my old and now sold 1992 Honda CBR900RR-N Fireblade ( Classic ;) ) but thats a funny convo for another day so im on to my 3rd TL1000S now... cant help myself... fantastic machine!!!!! anyway the Scoobaru... I have absolutely no idea what to do to it? i was thinking in the winter of taking it off the road and just stick to using Arnie (my black Merc Vito) whilst i get the heads off the car and get them port polished and maybe skimmed only by 10,000 of a millimeter for a little higher compression... NO MORE!!! because i dont want to put too much pressure on the starter motor!!!! maybe shove a bigger turbo on from a 2.2ltr? I know it will take the very slightest bit more effort to get it spooled up with the slightly smaller 2ltr motor but im sure with the skiimed heads and polished ports then it should/hopefully have enough kick to get it going :D but at the moment this is all just words and thoughts in the future pipeline... but any advice on how to get some good torque out of it would be considered and well appreciated :D
  4. haha my wife says the same about the wheels but there is a really bad chav lad flying round in a N/A saloon model with big spoiler and a dent in pretty much every panel with the dark alloys also... so i think mine is a bit 'in your face' when i see him hahahahaha... i must say i do like the copper/gold alloys myself but saying that i am a bit wierd! i must be the only person in the world who has a Suzuki TL1000S and a Suzuki DR350 in the garage and enjoy riding the 350 more!!! hahaha but thank you for the very warm welcome :D
  5. Hello everyone, my name is Ste... im 25 from Merseyside and after previously owning a number of High performance road cars such as a 2001 Ford Puma 1.7 R, 1998 E36 BMW M3 3.2ltr, 1999 Land Rover V8 Discovery (Petrol), 1988 Jaguar XJ40 4ltr V12 and a 1995 Mitsubishi FTO 2ltr V6 Mivec (which I still own)... I have now got my sh*t together and purchased myself a very tidy 1998 Subaru Impreza WRX STi 2ltr Turbo Estate and I must say... I am a very VERY happy boy! I trundled through the internet and paper ad's etc and found this for £1400 ono! It has 103k miles with FULL Subaru dealership History from new to current mileage, every reciept for the car from new INCLUDING ORIGINAL BILL OF SALE IN 1998 FOR OVER £27k!!!, Every MOT and tax disc since the car has been on the road, the car has a Full Scorpion Stainless race exhaust system fitted, Bailey Dump Valve, Copper/Gold Wheels with nearly new tyres (also got 4 spare gun metal Subaru wheels with the Car for free!), RMD suede racing steering wheel (original MOMO steering wheel included in sale also), Stage 1 race clutch, the car has absolutely NO rust or rot anywhere on the body or chassis... which is why i bought it and still managed to get him down to £1100 cash :D In all honesty I was looking for a Mitsubishi EVO 4 but I could not justify the price of them which have been 'boy racer'd' also so I thought about getting the Estate because it is still big enough to take my 2 large dogs in the back and still got enough power to scare high spec German cars of today :D So I must say I think I will keep this car for a long time now... especially now my missus wants it IF I get bored it ha-ha... big if!!!! enjoy the pics and let me know what you think please
