Yes, it was one of the first things I looked at and thought hmmm, I'm sure I've seen@gambit say it was loud on here. Still not to worry; if it becomes a bone of contention I'll just change it down the line. Was well worth the 5 hours travel in the end...still can't quite believe it yet mate [emoji2] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok, so I've barely managed to keep quiet for a day, but it can't last....... ....today I've removed my personal plates from my outback as this will be landing on my drive in the next week or two... It's a rare beast - a 54-plate 2.0 WRX Auto Tiptronic - Imported when new in 2004 with 35, yes thirty five kms on the clock - conversion done straight away so clock reading mph & odo reading miles - cert with car to confirm. 2 previous owners, loads of history and only 58k under her belt. Pretty standard and by the looks of things unabused and in very good condition; only mods look to be the cat back SS exhaust, K+N cone filter and STi spoiler. Cambelt being changed before collection (also done before at 30k), service done and 12 months MOT - the MOT history online is good (only ever been consumables). Can hardly contain myself - over to the dark side Told SWMBO it's loud @stants.....she grimaced but has already said she'll get over it - I said she should have come to see it haha - bless her, she's a gem really

Today I've been on the road for 5 hours, either side of meeting up with Adam

I got pads and discs for my 2005 outback from import car parts.....no problems with them at all up to now

Sorry Tom, I'm not the diy mechanic type....less so for diesels too. Hopefully some more mechanically minded members may be able to help you

I used to use 3m tyre restorer....worked a treat and could be used sparingly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, the buff daddy is meant to be great...always fancied one too, it's on my list [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has that changed since Dec 15? They stamped my book then Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's the point you need to make... Ask dogconker where he gets his books stamped Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Take it back for the service stamp...can't see why they wouldn't Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks @Jay762 that's a great site - bookmarked into my Subaru folder

Clay mitted my bonnet today too...didn't really need it, but done all the same Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

haha yeah I could..... Good thing is they have legal matching tyres on and I've got a trolley jack now, so could always test fit first before buying any winter rubber

I'm thinking about the SG Foz 17s i got to put winters on, which are 48 offset, and whether they'd fit on a 55 offset car Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi folks, Would this cause any problems? Can never get the offset thing the right way round in my head. Any advice welcome, thanks [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The car warehouse, Middlesbrough mate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, I think JM Imports give the impression of being in a different league to these

I've been to Middlesbrough this morning and come away a bit underwhelmed to be fair. The wrx auto was all scratched up on the corners of the bumpers and the interior wasn't great. They bug eye sti smelt awful inside and the steering wheel was delaminated. There was only 1 of 4 Foz cross sports on site and it looked like it hadn't been washed for months. Interior was ok. Red legacy blitzen was probably the pick of the bunch. If ever you want a classic mini though, it's the place to go...some absolute beauties there today Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great stuff @Mr B thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@Mr B please can you explain what makes it super simple etc for us novices. For example, would a company such as this be reputable, trustworthy etc http://www.japan-partner.com Also, once the vehicle arrived at the port in the UK, what would you have to do then? I suppose I'm nervous about not having someone inspect, road test the vehicle for me before committing to buy. Thank you so much for any help or advice you can offer (us all)

Good effort mate; enjoy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
