My Outback....first pictures
It was great.....I had this taxi behind me (vw passat I think) and I was tootling along at 30 approaching where the limit changes to 50. Just before it changes there's a traffic island, so unless you are totally reckless, you have to wait until the limit change to pass. He was showing all the obvious signs of intent to pull out, so I thought here we go, this will be a canny test. Flicked it across, hit the 50 sign, then gave the loud pedal a press. He had dropped back a few metres to give himself a slight run and must have just put his foot down before me. My power kicked in, he was left floundering and had to pull back in, then stayed about 50 yards behind me for the next few miles......THE PERFECT RESULT :D This is THE satisfying feeling I've been longing for since I joined the ranks back in January......feeling so fulfilled right now

Here you go Tom mate - these are the on'e I've bought: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201123564298?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I took the liberty of looking in their ebay shop for you and found these which may be what you're after?: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2005-2009-Subaru-Legacy-Sedan-Splash-Guard-Mud-Flap-Set-Black-OEM-NEW-/321458272872?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ALegacy&hash=item4ad867fa68 That's assuming you are an 05-09 sedan (in their words lol). I'm not sure how competitive or otherwise the prices will be for you, once postage has been added mate. You'll have to speak to a stealer for a comparison.

Subaru recall in North America 2005-2009 Legacys and Outbacks, 2008-2011 Imprezas, 2008-2014 Impreza WRX/STIs, and 2009-2013 Foresters.
How long was it in for mate....thinking mine will have to wait until it's annual service in Dec as can't afford the time off work or inconvenience at the minute

Ordered a set of OEM mudflaps for my Outback from the US of A.......even with shipping and potentially import tax, a full £20 cheaper than you can find in good old blighty :) Don't you just love rip-off Britain!

By sport mode, do you mean just flooring it, or switching across to manual shift? (I've not tried that yet - note to self ;) )

Have to say, I'm becoming addicted to watching cars disappearing in my rear view mirror.....a bit too much!

Hope that's soon for you mate (health-wise)......you'll have to share the juicy details of the remap, if and when it happens ;) When pennies allow (and my current exhaust dies) I'm planning on a full stainless system to help the flow-through too :D
