What oil is best
You will always get mixed messages :D on Oil it's one of them questions nobody really has a straight answer for I use one type for the Blobeye and another type for the Bugeye with it being tuned But 5/40 is fine :) I would say without going to the garage it's 5/40 I have for the blobeye

What Grade Oil
I'd say it was 5/40 then I use on the blob eye too looking at what everyone else has put I could have gone in the garage and looked to be fair ;) But I was drinking last night so to much effort :D

Hey new impreza owner (thoughts plz)
My 1st mod when I bought mine was Subaru dust caps I bought them before I bought the car ;) I like the fog covers just don't like the cost of them but think they look better covered. And I'm a window tint type of guy. You never know who you might get in the back seat ;) But helps to hide the mess from the kids :D
-
What Grade Oil
I think on the Blobeye I use 5-30 but the bugeye I use another grade without going out to check I can't remember off the top of my head. Opie-Oils is shut now for christmas so be after Christmas before Tim will be able to reply. And It's his Birthday today so I'm guessing he will be building up to speaking to god on the big old white porcelain telephone :D

a few pics of my project so far
I can relate with that I'm not bad with computers and have been asked why I don't do that as a job. Like you I like to play with them not work with them :D But not my only hobby car is my 1st choice ;) My 1st car was an escort too but a bit after the mk1 it was the mk6 or 5b not sure witch. But had full use on the road of a mk3 XR3I G reg was about 7 years old then and I was still at school But was in to motorbikes more at that time so spent more time playing with them :DBut wish I could do what you do with your's basics I'm fine with but full engine out :( not for me ;)

a few pics of my project so far
His only biggest regret is he didn't live closer to me so I could drop my car round when needing work ;) How did you not end up working with car's then ? And I've also tried to get you and other Project build your own room so they don't get lost in the posts

Should get back on with us mate ;) It's only for a laugh but most Sundays it's funny just watching Mfnick crashing from the lead to last place ;) But I will take a look when I'm on tomorrow.

random cel light
I had a Dutch lorry driver up my !Removed! flashing his lights driving really close and beeping his horn once going through. So when he pulled over I had to ask what his problem was he said in broken english he was sorry but he was in a rush to reach the Ferry. I just said tough **** I'm paid by the hour so it's unlucky if you get stuck behind me again. I was livid

steam cleaning
You don't want to ask about my dream's. But if I could ever give any advice is. You've got to hold on to your dreams. They tend to struggle a bit in the back of the van.

Subaru XV D SE Picked up today (21-12-13)
I love the concept I posted some videos of the released impreza looks nothing like the concept car but it's a WRX I'm holding out slim hope that the STI impreza will be more like the Concept. And one thing I like about the Subaru community is we are like a big happy family even if some don't wave back at me from their foresters ot Legacy's I always wave though if I see one. :D just think it will take me awhile to get used to seeing any XV's :D But if they do sell the new impreza here I will still wave. Even if I think the person who bought it would need glasses B) £80 silly not too for the difference it does make.
