New Scooby Doo owner :-)
I use 10/40 fully synthetic named brand all year round some people use other types for winter and summer, and everyone has there own choice but it's around the 5/30 to 10/50 mark I see most people use but I think about the age of cars to :) But as Pete said Tim/Oilman he's on the forums will give you some great advise. Only thing I would add is don't use Semi synthetic and check the oil midway before the next change is due I always find I have to give it a top up of oil before I'm due a change oil and filter again. As for the shocks there is a list of breakers on the forum you could try or ebay for being cheapest places :) But both a bit of a gamble :(

Wanting to borrow wheels???
Ok I've just been looking it looks like they didn't change the size until the hawkeye i.e the one after your's. I did think it was even later to be fair when the hatch came out oh well learn something new :) http://www.whichwheels.co.uk/car/subaru/impreza-sti/ Again this is only from what I can find myself

If the car they are from had 4 pot calipers breaks then I would say yes you will be fine. I think what I would do though is if he's local to you just message him and see if its ok to pop down and whip one of your's off the front and try one on. I did the same to a guy who came over from Hull and bought my 2nd pair.

My Impreza 2.0R Sport - New job, new pics of car, may be selling :(
To be fair I don't realise just how good mine sounded until someone else was driving it while I stood there :D Well hope you don't run in to anymore problems, and sounds like you choose the right time to change it all :)

I will go team blue, but look's like its missing fairing around the front light to me not sure if that's because of the other picture making think it should have something there :) And I will be honest I thought it was going to be something for the car so you surprised me :)

I agree I would say you will get a misfire code in one of four cylinders maybe all four. I can't remember what the code is off the top of my head but we can soon find out what the code means for you :)

Wanting to borrow wheels???
Pete have you had it done by a mobile guy I just want to know does it cost a lot more to do it that way ? I know Clinton is willing to pay to borrow some alloy's but just wanted to know what the cost would be. For me it was £40 for the tyres to be taken off £120 for all four alloys to be tarted up. I've never really looked into mobile guys. But I guess if they was going for carbon dipping wouldn't be any good.

Haha Godzilla like it And if you wanted you could keep the shelf to make the rings for the speakers. But on the other hand if it stops you getting wet seats you might be right and better leaving them ;) And with the K&N filter if you mean the MAFS yes that has to stay. When getting the cone it should come with a bit of pipe to attach it too.

Afternoon, All!
Hi and welcome to S.O.C I would go Petrol but that's because I have always had petrol cars and I would be stupid enough to put the wrong type of fuel in it
