dial dropping off?...
Do the revs drop down as well or just the counter? Is the car running ok, if the revs are dropping could be a misfire.

What to do with the wheels?
Each wheel took me about the same time, were my only set of wheels so had to do it one by one around work
-
Tour de France anybody?
I should be around over the summer and was planning on seeing it if possible so definitely could be interested.

What to do with the wheels?
Matty, no special tools required, a lot of sandpaper is all really and time and patience. Lots of time and patience. I will probably be doing mine over the next year depending on time and space. Took me about 4 days last time I did wheels, although only that quick because it was the middle of the hotspell in summer so drying times were quick. Pete, thanks for the offer, haven't decided on colour of wheels yet so not sure on what colour nuts I want. And I no rush, may get back to you once decided though.

What to do with the wheels?
Will be doing the refurb myself, have done it before and not too tricky just a lot of time, and no where near £80 per corner. Looking more towards the graphite or dark grey at the moment

I'm liking the look of graphite, nice colour and will go well with Silver

What to do with the wheels?
Not a big fan of black wheels to be fair, was thinking something similar to how they are now or gold, always wanted gold wheels on a scooby

What to do with the wheels?
As per title really, have a new set coming as these need a refurb and new tyres, not sure how to get the same finish as this though? Or maybe a change of colour. Help and opinions please people.

Standard recirc valve question
Hey guys, Have managed to blag myself a standard recirc valve for little money, have an HKS BOV fitted at the moment. From what I can gather the one on at the moment isn't 100% atmospheric so recircs some air anyways, and as far as i can tell all i will have to do is unbolt, remove the hose and then bolt in the new one. Can someone confirm this? Assume the hose coming in is the vaccum hose and thats all i have to connect to the standard valve?

rolling road result
That is a nice amount of bhp and torque, and nice and smooth, no sharp bumps, should be nice a driveable. And impressive with no Mods.

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Bought some new wheels so I can take the current ones off and give them a refurb. And it was cheaper than getting new tyres so thought why not. No harm in having a second pair of wheels. Oh and showed up a guy in his audi, trying to impress the girl he was with and couldn't resist, he though he had me for a while until the turbo came in, couldn't be bothered to switch down to second. Look of embarrassment on his face was priceless as was her laughing.

Exhaust Leak
I was talking to the guy before and told him that I do all my own work (tools and time permitting) and when finished the receptionist she said they would help if needed but new I did it myself. Didn't seem to try and get any business, even in buying new tyres (the back ones are cracking.) Was very impressed with the service in the end. Cheap cheerful and seemed to be interested in cars in general. As for the leak I think it is the gasket, had a look and the cat seems in good condition, the previous owner had a new exhaust fitted so it seems a bit quick for perishing, unless they used the old gasket to save a few £.

Exhaust Leak
Who knows. Said it was for the power steering. Threw me a bit but then they only charge £25 and are meant to do a decent job of it. Car feels better now and not pulling to the left so no complaints yet.

Exhaust Leak
Had a quick look today and seemed ok but will look again later. Obviously the guy doing the alignment was right under there and said it was the joint so assuming he had a quick look at the cat as well. Hopefully nice and easy to fix
-
Exhaust Leak
Hopefully it's just perished. Hopefully the cat isn't the problem.

Servicing in Yorkshire
I give a thumbs up to Richard Henry's, good guys, good knowledge, and good prices.

Exhaust Leak
Went for a 4 wheel alignment today and the guy doing it told me there was an exhaust leak, he said it was at the Catalyst joint. From what I can tell that's the bit just after the cat? As in the joint which is the first level bit heading to the back of the car and part coming from the engine? Does that sound right? And would tightening the bolts fix it? Or worth just buying a new gasket and putting that in?
-
What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Got a 4 wheel alignment done, removed the wiring that the old owner had in for the amp and sub in the boot.
