  1. Amazing how much !Removed! they get on them heads can see a real difference with them almost as good as new. Let the building commence :)
  2. I agree some nice work taking place
  3. It wasn't a joint project until Toyota see the idea it was just going to be a Subaru BRZ originally :( But agree fully with an STI version :)
  4. I've been looking at getting the rear window spoiler just not sure if I dare drill it myself :)
  5. Right Missus said 2 for £15 free P&P but only 1 dn 2 is left
  6. Thats my 1st point of any test ;)
  7. I don't mind the trees coming down if they don't land on anything I like to get out and play with the chainsaw. :D HERE'S JONNY! So how many have tried clicking the picture ;)
  8. I do I know a few people don't like him going back to his days of racing with Hill. But his days racing then can't say he wasn't the best driver in the world of F1. And I was told by my Uncle he is a really nice guy he bumped into at an Airport in Germany said he stood talking to him for about 10 minutes.
  9. Fence down one of the trees in the yard lost a big branch, but thats all I have seen so far :(
  10. I think you would be able to get away with the one on for on the road, unless you was turning it into a real drift machine. But looking at the picture again if you was doing that to the car why not go bigger :)
  11. Thats Cusco is exactly the sort of thing it needs for that spoiler :) And I can't believe the hate towards the Vortex fins :)
  12. Get rid of the shark fins I don't mind them despite what I have read on other forums if it's good enough for the Evo's it's good enough for the Subaru :D I like stock STI spoilers but I would say what lets that car down more is the rear wing looks out of place with out the body kit to be fair. It does look like someone has just stuck the rear spoiler on a standard car :( I'm not slagging it off just from my view I still don't hate it but can see why a change could be a good thing :) For me if you want to keep the spoiler it needs to shout out look at me body kit in your face stickers make it look like it's used for drifting. But if thats too much look at the STI spoiler if you are happy with the Vortex shark fins keep them I really don't think they look bad :)
  13. Hi mate welcome to S.O.C Feel free to share some pictures I'm sure it's not that bad either but I do find it hard to dislike any Subaru car no matter how bad it might look :D
  14. I'm leaving the choice to Boot's when we book Boot's and Pete will be organizing it that end. But I am hoping we get more before we book I don't know how easy it will be to book late comers in because they send the pack to one address only and we have to send them out to you guys to have the badge to get in hence why the extra £2.50 onto the price. Which is good I've know car clubs (my old one) charged £40 to be on the stands :(
  15. Agreed I thought he might have had a good chance now other than the risk of brain damage, but this :( with the other injuries does make for some worrying times to see him recover.
  16. watched this one was really good some fantastic old footage. Really enjoyed this one
  17. Just handy to give a watch if you have time looks interesting too didn't get to watch this one so put it here :D
  18. I'm sure everyone watched this already but worth a 2nd watch :) And I'm just going to leave this here ;)
  19. Does it show the weather has been that bad I've not been at work :D Another Documentary
  20. Bit confused their mate it's easily done. "Impreza Legacy Sport" I've never heard of one before
  21. Yep you sound just like one of us already :)
  22. Michael Schumacher 'now battling pneumonia' as doctors slowly bring him out of his coma following ski crash Stricken Formula One champion Michael Schumacher has developed pneumonia as doctors try to bring him out of the artificial coma that he has been in since December 29, German media reported today. Germany's biggest newspaper, Bild, said that Schumacher, 45, developed the lung infection last week at the University Hospital in Grenoble. His spokeswoman Sabine Kehm refused to comment on the report, saying only it was 'speculation, and I do not comment on speculation.' But Bild, which is known to have close contacts to the inner circle of the seven-time world Formula One champion, said he is being treated with strong antibiotics as his doctors try to ascertain just how dangerous the infection is. Pneumonia is among the greatest life threatening conditions that can afflict people in Schumacher's position. The lack of a competent swallowing mechanism can make saliva run into the lungs and trigger the potentially lethal respiratory infection. Andreas Pingel, medical director of the Centre for Spine Surgery and Neuro-Traumatology at the BG Hospital in Frankfurt told Germany's Focus Magazine only last week; 'About 30 to 50 per cent of all patients who lie in a coma as long as Michael Schumacher has, get it.' Bild said it was not known if the 'recovery phase' - the slow decrease in anaesthetic that has kept Schumacher comatose since his low-speed ski-accident on December 29 in a bid to bring him around - has been interrupted as a result of the infection. Professor Heinzpeter Moecke, Director of the Institute for Emergency Medicine at the Asklepios Clinic in Hamburg told Bild: 'Pneumonia is generally a serious and dangerous disease because the body is supplied with less oxygen and is overall very weakened.' In someone like Schumacher, who has now been comatose for 46 days since being airlifted from the ski slopes of the French resort of Meribel after smashing his head on to a rock, his immune system is seriously weakened and the fear is of multiple organ failure and, ultimately, death. Professor Moecke went on: 'One reason may be that the patient can not cough up secretions, which form in the neck and throat, because of a tube in the windpipe through which he breathes. A healthy person clears his throat or swallowing several times per minute, usually without realizing it. That protects the lungs. Either an X-ray or clinical signs - such as high fever - led to the discovery of the infection. His lung secretions were analysed to determine the best kind of antibiotics to prescribe to fight it. Professor Moecke added: 'Often the drug is administered over a seven to ten day period. If it works, there is a significant improvement after three or four days and the patient is out of danger. But there are also bacteria that are resistant to many antibiotics, that extends the period of danger.' He said the comatose racing hero would feel no pain or shortness of breath because of his coma and the drugs he will be receiving. So far, there have been no facial or bodily responses to his environment, according to medical sources, as his reflexes are tested on a daily basis. He receives food through a tube to his stomach, oxygen via a hose from a machine next to his bed as he still cannot breathe independently. Three times daily his joints and muscles are massaged to prevent atrophy and bed sores. The coma suppressed his swallowing reflex, pain perception and his respiratory drive. He has to be acutely monitored around the clock during this wake-up phase to see if such things are returning naturally - if at all. His blood is also thinned to prevent thrombosis and he is regularly turned and even stood straight up at times to keep blood flowing. He lies on a special air-filled mattress to prevent pressure sores and his urinary tract is under constant vigilance because of the danger of waste bacteria entering the bloodstream and causing another potentially fatal infection.
  23. It's not to bad if you can keep off the happy pedal, but that is easier said than done :) I had mine on the OBDII while driving around and did see my MPG reach 32.7 MPG but that didn't last long. And I had to drive around like the local vicar past a nursery school to get it that high.
  24. That is very true my addiction did cost me another £58 in fuel today :)
