  1. Hi mate welcome to S.O.C Car sounds clean and great to me. Other than checking the service history to see if it's had regular oil changes you can normally tell if t's been abused or not looked after. But unless you have been having a problem would be hard to tell I guess. But anyway we like to see pictures if you want to share any :) And please feel free to have a look around the forums and join in all good people on here :D
  2. The full kit is not just a belt change it's Tensioner Bearing, idler's it's best to do them all at the same time as if one of them goes after the belts been done can course damage but means you would need to have the belt changed again anyway to repair, if it was 45k I'd have said should be fine but at 60k most people I know would have the full kit done inc myself :)
  3. Oh right :) yeah I would spray it or wrap it then spray lacquer over it. Should feel a difference one you have got them all fitted :)
  4. Hi mate welcome to S.O.C sounds like you have got a good car and cam belt being done too massive bonus. I would just check its the full cam belt kit being fitted, :)
  5. Looks ok one in the blobeye is like that but blue leather. I would maybe respray it or replace it does look strange the stainless steel. I take it you smoke too ;)
  6. Hello mate welcome to S.O.C And great looking car, very clean looking. What plans do you have if any ?
  7. Hi mate welcome to S.O.C I can't check at the minute as I have had PC trouble so everything I have is on another HDD :( hopefully one of the other guys might be able to help :)
  8. You will do for me mate ;)
  9. I figured you wouldn't ask if the car was to old. But I'd maybe run it you don't have to floor it with it in all the time just make sure it's warmed up enough and you cool it don't be flat out for along period unless you want to kill it :D
  10. Gently unrolls his 50 and slips back into wallet I'd say try it why not :)
  11. Gambit replied to bang's topic in General Subaru Chat
    Even if it's just to get the car over here for a bit and have it derestricted ;)
  12. I was speaking to a chap today about this who's MOT did fail because they didn't adjust That was a Mk2 Focus though
  13. Sorry I can't help either I've not done it only changed the headlights to after market. Bug has morretes and the blobeye is an aftermarket set off fleebay with LED side lights. never done a full HID conversion . I did read a little bit but like Jay said about the MOT I gave up on the idea as I didn't know enough and had other thing's in the to do pipeline at the time :D
  14. I did see someone selling a Td05 for £80 reckons it had done about 8k miles I was going to buy it myself was just before Christmas. I will have a look see if it was sold.
  15. Carbon fibre by the looks of it then or wrapped to look like it is. 2nd one I would say they have bought one for an Impreza and a body shops fitted it. but will have a better look today :)
  16. 1st thing I would do then is think about a cambelt change and a service to be safe,well least an oil change. But would double check the cambelt 1st you never know. But it is due at 60k maybe why they sold it on. should be around the £300 mark for a full kit and fitting. I don't know anyone that way on or anyone on here that is a Subaru specialist though :( Sounds ok I know I do my own servicing so doesn't get a full stamp as such just written down. But I'm thinking of keeping the car until the engine drops out :D or I make the jump to a 2006 hawkeye not sure what to do myself ;) But the forum has some fantastic members all friendly once you get to know them anyway :D And looking at events being sorted now for the year. Well once new year is out the way ;)
  17. No problem at all with picture whoring ;) I have the use of Shotguns and have a tuned air rifle with Bull barrel about as close as I get now :( Was playing on private land with a rifle like that it was a 22 good fun but scared the crap out of me when he told me the range :D
  18. Hi mate welcome to S.O.C Little light reading HERE Should give you an idea of what to look for :) And I'm sure you will be coming back saying you own one great fun to drive :D
  19. Yep I like it :D I like the black idea around the intake bonnet scoop
  20. Front splitter I call them but can be called valance, lips, spoilers, I've seen some nice Foresters with them on. I think you would need to get a Subaru Impreza or a Legacy one and have it fitted but could be wrong I will do some searching 1st I did see this not sure how well it works but might give the look you want with less cost http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-FRONT-BUMPER-CHIN-SPOILER-VALANCE-SPLITTER-LIP-BODY-AIR-DAM-WING-/321200625932?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AForester&hash=item4ac90c990c
  21. Looked clean to me anyway :D I'm not saying it is bad I like it and would happily own it. ;)
  22. You're welcome. And I try my best :D Oh and pictures is a must see how good your needlework is ;)
  23. Hi Gem Mine was alright right hope you had a great Christmas. I've not seen any Could try message these if this is what you are looking for in Spain http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SET-OF-2-SUBARU-LOGO-SILVER-STARS-EMBROIDERY-SEW-ON-PATCH-3-2x1-8-FREE-SHIPP-/281231733321?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item417ab7b249 See if they will do other colours I'm guessing pink ;)
  24. 2nd that, and as much as I like your brothers Impreza I think your's looked better strangely but in a good way ;)
