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

New Member service musts ??
Only real thing is keep all the fluids checked up on if you drive it a lot like coolants and oils. it doesn't hurt as I'm sure you know with the Nissan to do regular oil changes and filter. And let her warm up and cool down after driving her hard. I look at them like an Ex girlfriend I once had good looking high maintenance and needy. But put's a smile on my face ;)

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

(Today is a sad Day) Possible Selling up
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

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.

Changing an ECU? Straight swap?
No problem mate happy to help :)

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.

Changing an ECU? Straight swap?
Hi mate he's PM'D me back Hi, if I understand the question right someone wants to put an STI Ecu on a Wrx in the hope of getting more power. That wouldn't work as the STI Ecu will be set up for a completely different engine, turbo, injectors etc. also i believe on subarus of that age the Ecus are coded to the car. But not 100% sure. I've just copied what he posted for you and basicly what I was saying before. The ECU will be trying to put more power to parts of the car thats not suited, if that makes sense. So would maybe seem ok but would do massive damage to the engine if it even started :) Hope this helps And thanks to Gareth at Map-tech in Brigg for the quick reply :)

Subaru XV D SE Picked up today (21-12-13)
I was only talking about how it should look to me I'm not saying it's a bad thing and would be happy to own one without a doubt. Well one like your's anyway I do think it looks smart and has to be put into the best one I have ever seen, even if I haven't seen many. I know the car did get a 5 star rating from a review I was reading topped everything. And out of the cars you listed I think are all ugly cars. I agree think Subaru is on to a winner with this car. I might even email them a picture and ask why they are not pushing to sell this car more here. And sort out the ugly new impreza ;)
