My Outback 3.0r Auto Test Drive
I'm coming with SWMBO and she wants to get back pronto to our poorly dog, so probs best not this time [emoji20] I'm sure we will have a 'northern' meet soon, so hope to catch you at such an event. Thanks for the offer though...if by myself, I'd have jumped at the chance mate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My Outback 3.0r Auto Test Drive
Today I've had my original 15" alloys put back on the car (for £10 at local tyre spot - a bargain) and replaced my Bluetooth stereo unit and mic with the JVC unit that was in the car when I bought it. Only one major drama today - put the dog in the car to take him to the vets, started her up, engaged 1st gear and found I had no drive. Totally crapped myself, only to find I'd knocked the high/low ratio gearbox lever while I had the dash off changing the stereo's.....talk about heart in mouth moment!! Sorted the insurance out too and fueled her up sufficiently for a spirited drive down to Blackburn ;) Off now to try and sleep, before tomorrow's road trip to collect my new steed :D

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Washed it today and removed mr t from the dash and my NBO sticker from the rear window. Tomorrow the wheels come off; old ones back on, Bluetooth stereo out; old one back in. ......after all that I'll be ready for the main event on Saturday hopefully (touch wood) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

53-plate Forester XT 16" Alloys with Tyres For Sale £200 + del
Hello all, As you may know, I'm parting with my Forester in the next few days. I'm planning on listing these wheels on the bay, but thought I'd post up here first in case anybody wants them. I only bought them 3-4 weeks ago (I know!), and they were accurately described by the seller at that time as follows: "Set of OEM 16" wheels and 215/60/16 tyres, recently balanced. Wheels are starting to bubble a bit but decent enough. Front tyres are sunitrac focus 9000 215/60/16 xl, with 6.7-6.3mm of even tread left. Rear pair are hankook kinergy eco 215/60/16 xl with 4.6-4.7mm of even tread left." I've done less than 1,000 miles on them since, so tread levels should be similar. I've had them (properly) balanced too, so ready to fit. All I want is what I paid for them - £200 plus postage. I thought they were a bargain at the time and still do - hens teeth comes to mind for a decent set like these. Let me know if you'd like them before they go on the bay at the end of the week. Thanks David http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/TF8AAOSwhh5TnfVl/$_57.JPG http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/s44AAOSw-ndTnfWC/$_57.JPG http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/yW0AAOSwq5lTnfWD/$_57.JPG http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/AT4AAOSws65TnfWI/$_57.JPG http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/GvoAAOSw4bVTnfWW/$_57.JPG

Audio Head Unit Removal - Is There A Pictorial Guide?
Hi, I'm wanting to remove my Bluetooth CD unit prior to trading in my Foz this weekend - did someone post a guide on here recently with pictures? I seem to remember it, but as ever, can't find it :( I'm hoping it shows where the retaining clips on the centre console trim are Thanks David

I liked the sound of yours mate....a nice subtle, but definite Subaru burble.....I'm assuming I can get that, even without a turbo?

So does that mean from the cat forward is already SS, or that it doesn't get changed when going to a SS system, or something else? Sorry....I've always found this confusing
-
My Outback 3.0r Auto Test Drive
Right....got an SS exhaust quote from cat back through to rear of £350 incl fitting and vat. I have no idea how much of the system that represents, or if that's good value or not. Anybody able to offer me some pearls of wisdom please? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
