The old blokes are nice guys normally but not online much. But nutz seems much more like Scabbynet than hrre unfortuantely.
-
Haha. Not really sure it would fit!!! Definitely missing the Subaru community. Much less involved in mx5 community. Not as friendly as you lot.

Got it picked up last night and delivered this morning, went over to get the money, he tried to low ball me an offer but I said no, gave me £900 which was more than I paid for the car (covered the tow from mine to his,) to be fair he didn't try to argue as I think he new I wasn't going to have it and I had a letter ready to give him 14 days to pay before I went to the county court and made it obvious I had it. He was very friendly and seemed annoyed at the car but not at me, so happy and easy in the end. Thanks for the advice and help. Wish it was this easy for everyone.

First up is a set of 17" wheels off my classic, they are in generally good condition with some curbing on the edges, 2 tyres are cracked and need replacing the others seem ok although I would recommend replacing them all. They have 'Lightweight Racing' written on them and they did seem very light to me. £150 collected or postage paid by buyer. Located Bradford Secondly are a set of braided brake lines in transparent blue, they are SWRD which is the same brand as the discs I had on mine and was very impressed with. Unopened and in box, cost me £75 so looking for £70 delivered. Comment or message me for more details

Crazy Impreza Turbo Wagon Insurance Quote!
Pommy replied to Capttrousers's topic in Subaru Insurance Discussions
Wow, that is extrodinarily high. I'm 23 and I paid less than £1k for fully comp on a turbo 2000 saloon. Not sure why it is so high, send a message to Dan Adrian Flux on here and see what he says. -
Well what a turn of events. So this is what happened, bought a mk1 1.6 from a dealer on Friday, drove it home and to work today, a total of 100km or so. On the way back on the motorway the oil pressure hit 0, then a loud knocking noise and blue smoke and bang and then nothing. Got it towed and the driver attempted to crank manually but no movement what so ever. So seems like the oil pump failed and the engine is seized. I am planning on calling up and rejecting the car under the Sales of Goods act. And when phoned the dealer agreed, So I ended up buying another mx5, a Mk1 1.8 R-Ltd. This and exams has been a very busy week hence why I haven't been on here!!

I will probably be in Leeds next week at some point but will send a message later this week. The new rims went with the car but the 17 inch ones you saw I have still and will be selling soon enough. If your interested let me know via a msg and we can sort something out.
-
It's an import, imported in 1998 but a 1990 car. I will let you know next time I am in Leeds and will take you up on that offer I think.
-
Thanks guys and sorry to have gone especially after the work i had put in, still had a few niggles but just needed a cheaper runner for the moment. Stanton you can probably tell from the pics it is a mk1 1.8s with pretty much no rust that i have found yet, leather interior with wood trimmings, which will probably be changed soon enough. Good fun to drive just got to get back to the knowledge that every bolt will be rusted to ****:)

Easy to drift, as long as it is wet on the ground, any corner and you are sideways.

Looks good mate -
Haha, seen a good sticker saying No Haircutting Equipment left over night. Will be getting one soon;) It is good fun to drive, and looking forward to some drifting:) But have to admit I miss the engine noise.
-
Well I am officially subaruless, I have got a mint mx5 as I needed something cheaper. I will still be hanging round here because of the community and people, hopefully to see some of you at Jap meets and hopefully another Scooby in the near future.
-
Yeah I understand that I have probably priced it a bit high because I don't really want to sell it. What would you guys think it is worth? And I know without the wing it is worth less. Don't be afraid of hurting my feelings the more honest the better really. Looking at a mx5 tomorrow. So that might be an option. At least it is still a Jap.
-
Hey Matt, appreciate the offer but not really my thing I have to admit. And Ash I will be staying around, hopefully even attend some meets with Subaru guys, friendliest forum by far. Think I have found a reasonable swap elsewhere but deffo open to offers still.
-
Well due to unforseen circumstances i am unfortunately having to look into selling my subaru and get something cheaper. The car has 147,000 miles on the clock with a full history up until I Bought it less than a year ago, in which time I have completed another oil and plug service. I have fixed all the issues that came with the car by replacing the fuel filler neck which was leaking due to corrosion (common issue), replaced the steering wheel with a standard one and replace the clock spring so the airbag and horn work, I had the rocker gaskets replaced by Richard Henry (both sides were leaking a little), I also replaced both front calipers along with new grooved discs and pads due to the calipers sticking. The car comes with standard wheels with 4 toyo proxes all with good tread on. The car runs out of tax at the end of the month but i will be putting a full six months on it. the MOT runs out next month but see no reason as to why it wouldn't pass and am taking this into account in the price. I have also removed the rear spoiler as I prefer it without, however the spoiler will come with the car and will be easy to re apply, this is also taken into account in the price. It also has a turbo timer, and pod filter although i still have the original airbox with a K&N panel filter which I can include in the sale. Bad points are a tiny bit of bubbling on the drivers rear arch, and I do mean only a little bit. Looking for £1,800 but am open to offers. Or a p/x preferably something rear wheel drive but could be tempted by other cars, just ask me. Comment below or send me a pm to find out more. And the 17" wheels in some pictures can be included for the right price but do need new tyres. I will take more pictures when I can, the above pictures are as the car is now and the one's below are what it was with the 17" wheels and the spoiler. Thanks for looking, pm or comment any questions

Started modifying the radio facia for my tablet install. Nearly fitted the tablet, need to get that done and then get the head unit in the bottom and tidy it up nicely so a bit of work to do yet.
-
Hey mate, glad you are excited for the car and have finally got it. And welcome to the club, get pictures up once you get it. And get involved in the forums, plenty going on.
-
It is a pity about prodrive and lack of anything from Subaru UK. But will still be really good to watch.

first time scooby owner west midlands
Pommy replied to wrxweston's topic in New Members Introductions
I know some aren't mappable and I remember reading the same when buying mine which is part of the reason I went for a W plate. And I believe you do have to get a daughterboard installed which is why lots of people replace it with a different mappable ECU. Heard good things about both apexi and alcatek. Might be worth starting a separate thread about it in the Impreza area.
