JapShow Finale Sunday 12th October 2014
Thats what I've been doing with the local clubs that I know the owners/founders if you like of the clubs, to join us and make them the regional coordinators for that area. But somehow have found it very difficult to get people onboard, not sure why they're worried as the forum is generally pretty active now from looking at the logs and we get a **** tonne of traffic past through on a daily basis. Highest I have ever seen it in 2 years anyway so must be a good thing from our point of view :) Maybe I have to keep chipping away at them like my victims chase them down until they tire But as you have said Stants by doing it that way I'd have hopped if any of the members from both clubs us and the local club can help us with doing the local meets and if they're not the bigger events like japfest and so on join us. I mean I have to keep reminding myself it is the 1st year of doing the events. We also have no set structure with organization of the events either. Getting the lists done in the new year started might be better with payments forms so it can all be done really early on :D

JapShow Finale Sunday 12th October 2014
Exactly mate, my comment wasn't to offend anyone so sorry if it did. I think you might be right with the events I was expecting Japfest 2 to have more stores selling a lot more stuff, possible still suffering the after shock of the recession. I'm going to go with it wasn't organized as well as it should have been loads left early as well I always think thats a bad sign.... Not from our club we was one of the last lot to go. I agree with Facebook and a majority of pricks use it I've seen what get's posted on our clubs wall by a few Steve even removed a comment I made to one guy after he felt the need to comment on a picture of someones Subaru. I think one of my other frustrations is I can't get stuff done on the forum as quick as I would like. the Selling section. the Flag's ect ,ect :( With the local clubs and organizers of meets I've always tried to get them to join us to help with inviting people from here to the local meets so we're used to broaden the search if you like :) So we can help each other thats how I got on to finding out the local clubs have been struggling. Two of them are in cities too, just don't want to drop any names :D

JapShow Finale Sunday 12th October 2014
I think people will always follow the crowd, hell look at Iphone, like sheep with that damn thing even my Daughter lol. If it's local to them and there mates are doing the same thing bound to happen. But I've spoken to some local clubs, say local not near me but I know the guys who run the local clubs. One of them even said to me it's the 1st time in 8 years he's had to cancel the local meet and hasn't decided when the next meet will take place that was 2 weeks ago :( So I'm not sure myself what to make of that, if Subaru ownership has taken a turn for the worse or it's a bad hiccup that everyone is facing. I can say that has come from 3 local Subaru owners club Admins if you like. :( I'm on the fence with the full facebook thing maybe I've been left behind with it lol, But I'm not a fan of facebook knowing everything I do. Might be able to tell by my comments feeling deflated with my personal stuff as well as trying to sort out my relax time with I.e this club. But I think it's our 1st year of events as a club and I don't want just imprezas on the stands :D But I have to question myself maybe the good do die young :D And I won't stand on my own local clubs stand so for me I won't join anyone I'm not part of. But won't say others shouldn't :)

JapShow Finale Sunday 12th October 2014
Nice one mate I'm on Lincolnshire Subaru owners club none of them seem to be members :) But I don't mind either way. For me Subaru ownership should never be about rivalry between clubs or mods on your car. We all wave when we pass a fellow brother in a scoob, work as one is a better way, if they have members that want to talk **** fuckem thats the type of people that was never welcome here in the 1st place and I hope they sell up soon ;) . Only thing that !Removed! me off is that they had a member come here and say Hi, less than 30 minutes later started spamming about them, now I have no problem at all we're not an Impreza club we're a Subaru club and welcome anyone here. I don't hold the full club to account be wrong of me to judge. But didn't even give us a chance to reply before going on to say how great it was. :( Maybe after 9 years I've started to see the bad side of Subaru ownership I just hope I'm wrong and Scooby.net isn't just a one off

JapShow Finale Sunday 12th October 2014
Thats whats gutting we only need another two and japfest two was pretty good turn out in the end I thought we would have had this bagged quicker. I know the month isn't like summer time but meant to be pretty nice until the end of November. I know it's silly but people do judge a club by the events like this. We have members just not all interested in going to event's which is fine but to get ten I didn't think would be so hard now with doing both japfests :(

Another possible noob with a few questions!
If the synchro mesh has gone and stopping 2nd gear thats a full gearbox replacement and worth doing the clutch at the same time, so make sure you know what it is and budget it to the price if you go for this one. and does look like needs some work so I think be worth leaving it I know it's hard to walk away and even more so when the scooby bugs grabbed you lol :) but be worth it in the long run.

Forester Built-in SatNav Update Disc
we had a member that had bought a car and updated with a bootleg disc it stopped it working until he got an original version. I'm guessing they have some sort of key encryption. Not impossible I'm sure to get round it but unless you know what to do.

Make sure that you cancel your vehicle insurance the minute that you have sold the vehicle.
Had something like this happen with a car I sold to some dope heads from Hull. Came and bought the car on a Sunday about 3 to 4 hours later Police on the phone asking if I had sold the car as it was involved in an accident. Luckily I had proof of the sale and they had court the driver running from the scene. :( As you can guess monday morning sent off the slip to DVLA and rang my insurance straight up.

Spark plug changing - how easy and cost?
A real pain in the !Removed! to do but if you're confident enough to do them yourself I'd save the money but that cost does seem a lot of money for spark plugs to be changed. Is that a mainstealers ?
