- Which Newage Gauges?
No problem. I've bit the bullet and ordered them now. Decided on the 3 I posted links for since they have alarm warning noises whereas the blue ones don't. Figured I'd usually be too focused on the road when driving hard to notice if one of the dials suddenly went too high so them giving a warning noise will be helpful.- What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Recommended 500 miles last time. Pagid recommend that too. But think I might give them a bit longer this time. Dave said he's had this happen before at Lexus, just ended up being a dodgy lot so hopefully it was just that. Otherwise I'm looking at skimming them or buying some drill or grooved discs that are better at taking the heat/punishment. Bet you don't feel too gutted about not being able to get that remap now do you? Must have made a big difference looking at your old ones.- Dr Colourchip
Well I've decided to take a chance and try it out for us all ;) Ordered the cheaper pack to start with which does up to 24 chips. When it comes and I've tried it I will report back with pics.- Yorkshire Modz show at doncaster
Did you get to this Gem? Ash and I went but didn't get there until 3ish, take it you'd done one by then?- South Yorkshire Monday 8th September
Cake? So glad you've started coming to these meets lol. I'll be there again.- What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Good to hear mate :) Sat well after he'd finished. My 2 new discs appear to have sorted the judder :). He's going to send my 2 back, think they may have been part of a dodgy set so didn't cost anything either. Just got to bed them in again now. I'm like Ash counting down the miles now before I can give it some again haha. Least I can still go fast on straights though :)- Which Newage Gauges?
Sounds good mate. Thanks for the feedback guys. Also I've been looking round a bit more and found I can get it cheaper by buying it separately: Oil temp and pressure kit - http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=68&products_id=2099 £29.15 Defi pod - http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=68&products_id=1517 £144.99 And then buy the gauges from R Spec: Boost - http://rspec.co.uk/performance-gauges/stepper-motor-peak-series/52mm-smoked-stepper-motor-peak-turbo-boost-gauge-bar £56.99 Oil Pressure - http://rspec.co.uk/performance-gauges/stepper-motor-peak-series/52mm-smoked-stepper-motor-peak-oil-pressure-gauge-bar £63.99 Oil Temp - http://rspec.co.uk/performance-gauges/stepper-motor-peak-series/52mm-smoked-stepper-motor-peak-oil-temperature-gauge-degc £52.99 Bringing me to £348.11. Nice £25+ saving there :). Posted links for anyone else looking too ;). I wouldn't need anything else would I? The gauges say they come with senders and fitting kit. Edit - the blue ones are even cheaper at £40 each.. http://rspec.co.uk/b-gauges-b/blue-stepper-motor-series Hmmmm...- JapShow Finale Sunday 12th October 2014
I'm in. How many are going on the Saturday and staying over? Depending on how many of you do that I'll either get the weekend or just the Sunday pass.- Which Newage Gauges?
Yea they're nice but got to admit I prefer the sweeping needle to having digits in middle :)- Detailing Thread.
Lots of good info there Ash, thanks for that. Haven't got anything to add though I'm afraid, just been using most of those same techniques when doing my own research. :)- Dr Colourchip
Just seen in the most recent email there's a discount with this company now. Had never heard of it before but done a little research and sounds pretty good. Just wondered if anyone else has ever heard or used it before? Is it worth getting?- New tyre time need advise,
Just like to add to this again now I've got a few hundred - 1000 miles on my Vredesteins. Now they've worn in a bit the grip has increased by a pretty big amount, they're almost on par with the Parada's I had in the dry now and still great in the wet too. Brilliant tyres!- Which Newage Gauges?
Asked this before a while ago but the thread went missing when we had that little problem. Im after a triple gauge pod with Oil Temp, Oil Pressure and boost gauges. I've got a max budget of £400 for this including everything bar fitting - the pod, gauges, sender, oil fitting kit etc. I've been thinking of buying the Scoobyworld Prosport package with Defi pod. Comes in at a mighty £375 - http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=68&products_id=1538 But before I go ahead and get it just wondered if any of you could recommend any others? Preferably cheaper haha :) Cheers- Yorkshire Modz show at doncaster
Same as Stants, I'm at SSS but will see what time I get finished and will get if I can :)- A drive into THE PEAK DISTRICT and meet up with other subaru clubs

Need to get back to gym ;) http://youtu.be/0mC8Pf3NLIc- A drive into THE PEAK DISTRICT and meet up with other subaru clubs
Anyone fancy a mini convoy there? I've got to drive over the snake to get to the starting point so if anyone wants to join me feel free :). I probably won't be going slow though so bear that in mind if you do ;).- What have you done to your Subaru today ?
It's all good fun eh mate haha! Yea I'll see you there on Saturday then fella :)- What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Got a early finish from work so thought I'd fit my new splitter I didn't have chance to do over weekend. As per usual nothing I do on cars is simple even when it's what's meant to be a easy job :( . Went to remove first bolt and... Snap! Bugger! Went to next one and felt same so decided to leave it. Haven't got a good way of raising it off the ground to drill them out and not messing about taking bumper off so going to ask Martin to do it for me when I see him on Saturday instead lol. Or at least ask to borrow his lift.- What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Problem is they'll not be able to admit to known faults unless the public pressure is big enough due to the money and bad publicity it will cost them. It's better for them to try an hide it. And in this day and age with compo, claims etc being as it is companies will do everything they can to not admit fault. It's like that at my place. Is something goes wrong on a job even if I know it's out company that's caused it, it could basically cost me my job to do so. It's !Removed! **** but unfortunately it's how business is these days.- Sheffield Subaru Services 14th July
