Got a couple of Whiteline goods through :) Got a 22mm adjustable rear anti roll bar and C drop links. First of a few Whiteline suspension goody packs that will be arriving over the next month or 2 :)

I'll be there :) On the 20th that is.

I'd have been up for this but sounds like I'm the only one haha! I agree seeing it in first week would be a crazy move though.

I got about 25mpg. Not too bad I don't think.

Never stops Tom. In fact just ordered £200 worth of parts. Got another £350 worth in my basket still waiting for my next couple of paydays to get them paid off lol. Once I've got those then it's saving for fitment, then will be saving for my next parts/maintenance work. Never ends!

Sounds good Stants, when I last went there a few years ago we did spend a good 3 hours+ driving through the surrounding areas. Some awesome roads round there, but I can't remember where they are so yea, could do with a guide again lol. I'd be well up for it, hope there's time if you do make it.

Yea Mike, Sheff Subaru Services is the one Ash and I recommended. Like Stants says, he'll charge about £380 for it while most I asked wanted £600+ Martin is the guy who runs it and he's worked on Subaru's for years. Worked at the dealership for a lot of that too like I said, so he knows what he's doing. Always does a great job on mine.

Its an awesome, famous road in the northern part of the Yorkshire dales. Theres a huge meet to go on a drive through the dales and along it at the end of April. Ive posted a thread about it if youre interested?

Haha only messing Mike :) Yea, would be great to have more vids from different viewpoints Heres the 2nd one as promised.

What you trying to say?! Haha! I've got that second video too of us driving up to the Abbey but it still had 40 minutes left and I was ready for bed so will post that one later today. Glad you like it Stants. Like I say I had it at 720p but it goes to 1080p so I'm going to nip out this weekend and try it on that setting. See if the quality is any better.

First one is. Nothing exciting I'm afraid but better than nothing I suppose. Can see the sheep legging it at the start though when you scared the shot out of them haha!

Just realised in any future vids where we may be driving a bit more "spirited" I can set it to private or Invite only too so can still post them up :) and add you guys as the ones who can view them. Gutted I didn't have it running for the little blast I had with Stants too, would have made a good vid that.

Why do you think I didn't delete that one haha! Mike the one I've got of you is for the drive to the Abbey. It's pretty much all steady town driving due to this though but thought you might like the vid anyway. Right, uploading them to youtube now then. It'll be done by end of tomorrow looking at progress bar haha.

Already spoke to Stants about it but in case anyone else wants any more info... Im afraid there isnt much haha! This is all the info there is: It's that time again! Convoy through the Yorkshire Dales and over the Buttertubs Pass. Good roads, good company and good craic! This is the 4th year of The Buttertubs Run and it gets bigger every year.

Was a great day out! Really enjoyed it, good to hear it sounds like we're ok on that too Stants. Fingers crossed. Good meeting you Mikey. Hope you can make more of the meets in future. Yours does shift too, think that graph you have is pretty accurate lol. Heres a couple of my pics. ***DISCLAIMER*** first time using a gopro camera and found its really hard taking pics with it without a screen or eye piece to look through. Deleted most of them haha! As for the vids - id have to buy seperate software to blur out plates. Which arent cheap and it doesnt look easy to do either . But I captured it at 720p and the plates arent that clear on it anyway although you can still make them out at certain points. Ive cut 2 vids to about 4 mins of footage each and its all sensible driving so its up to you guys if i post them up? Mainly aimed at Ash and Mikey as youre the only ones you can make the plates out on. can take them back down if youre not happy with them too. So, what do you say?

Yea that's fine with me too. Will be on time on this occasion too since we've got a better starting meeting place lol

Yea thatd be good for me, could do with a quick fill up before setting off so that's spot on.

I've still no idea where this Lidl actually is. I've checked in Google maps and on Lidls own website and neither show one there?? Stants - ended up getting the Hero 3 white edition. A mate convinced me I will want to be able to take the camera out of its housing and will regret getting the other when Amazon had it for only £50 extra.

I can make it! So what time are we setting off Ash, and where we meeting? Also, on the subject of taking video, how do I blur out the licence plates on it?

That does look nice and shiney! May have to try some of that Dodo stuff myself. Mine isn't getting a clean haha. I did it last weekend and even though it's not moved all week its managed to pick up a layer of dust and by time I get to Whitby and back it'll be a right mess again.

Sorrreeee. mfnick 2003 Impreza Blue

I may have to back out... I overspent on one of those damn GoPro's and not sure I can afford it now. Will know better on Friday when I've been paid. If I can make it have we decided on a time we're meeting you at J44 Stants? And Ash - are we having a tiny convoy up or just go separately since it's only boring motorway driving? Good news if I can make it though is that since I now have a GoPro Ill be able to get some video footage of us driving and slightly better quality photos. :)

Like Stants has said, it's not really difficult but the time and cost is substantial. Surely the insurance will cost just as much having a sport with a WRX engine as it will to just have a WRX Impreza. Maybe even more since its a "mod".

I can do Whitby on the 22nd. I'll go almost anywhere actually lol

Ah yea, must have always loaded the + version. Can't find a good comparison between it an the basic one though apart from the 3 can be removed from its housing making it a lot smaller and pocket sized. Don't know if that's worth £50+ more...
