I demand camping! Camp on a Friday night with bbq's n booze. Show/meet on a Saturday then camp/bbq that night, then go home on the Sunday. So exactly how Japfest 1 would be setup.

I'm trying to get the missus to get an XV or a Forrester. She's got her eyes on a Nissan Qashqai at the moment, I've honestly no idea why tbh.

I've already got some, really good quality. But erm what do you stick them on with?

So erm, have we got a meet place organised yet? lol or are we just meeting at the track?

Mines N/A and I've got Maf. i think lol. I'm sure there was a video on mgihtcarmods about filters and cones. I will try and find it.

I'm really interested in this, parents dont live far from Glossop. Will have to confirm though.

Gutted to hear about the troubles Dogconker, I don't know about engines but have you considered having Martin and Dave at Sheffield Subaru have a look at it for a second opinion? They've been spot on every time I've been there. Or would that invalidate your warranty with Subaru?

Anyone find anything out about the tickets? Whats the crack with passengers? can we get a ticket when we arrive? The Q n A here - http://www.japfest2.co.uk/frequently-asked-questions/ says Ticketing Questions Q: How can I buy a ticket? A: Tickets are on sale now – click here to book online or call our ticket hotline on 0871 230 5577. Q: Will I be able to buy a ticket on the gate? A: Yes you can buy tickets on the gate from 09.00am. But club access is from 6.30 and we must be parked by 9am. So how does that work lol?

I think a seagull shat on my car. Took me a good ten mins to clean off, was all over the roof, rear window, boot and spoiler. Good job I've got some Poorboys Bird Sh#t remover. - Which is awesome btw

I was thinking the same thing, I've got a little gas cooker, can bring a griddle pan, burgers, sausages, buns etc etc. But i think it says on the ticket, no BBQ's allowed. Worth a risk?

What about Moto Services. Junction 23A M1 Derby, Castle Donington DE74 2TN 2.9 miles from the track. A bit close, probably other clubs there though.

hahaha Brilliant!

I had the same issue a few weeks back, thought something was leaking until I was told about the air con waste pipe. How do you find the 2015 Impreza mate?

Mines 2ltr N/A mate, my bad should have said.

Since the last 240miles i've got an average mpg of 37.5 :D Happy with that,

ah gutted mate, surely the garage would know what they are doing?

Just paid for 12months car tax... £285 :( Worth every penny! :D

Had a bit of rain today, makes me smile when i see all the water beading on the paintwork :)

yeah shes fuming, as you would be. Its just fortunate that her uncle can do it properly for us. The mechanic has agreed to pay the costs for the repair and added that he's "honestly got no idea how it got damaged, it must have been when it was sat on my drive" aye yea alright mate, considering its been reversed into a wall.

Thanks ash, Yeah I'm very picky too, that's why I like going SSS. As for the meet on the 11th, I'll have to see mate, as I've got an essay due that day and I'm like 100 miles away. So it would be a bit of drive. We spoke to her uncle who runs a body repair garage, he had a look and said its been reversed into a wall or something rough. Had another car hit it, there would have been paint transfer from the other car. So he's gonna repair it properly. Just gotta get the mechanic to pay for it now.

David, I called the dealer in Durham and they said about and hour or so. I think they have a look, clean up any corrosion and treat it with protection stuff of some sort.

thanks bud, I've got a free tub of paint that was mixed by the guy that repaired my legacy, he also painted and fitted my spoiler and grille. As you are in Co Durham, if you ever need body repairs doing give me a bell and I'll pass you on his details.

So !Removed!, the missus needed a new rear spring on her 1.6 astra. So instead of taking it to the usual place up the road and paying about 70 for it. She had her dads friends partner do it for a bit cheaper. So against my advice she dropped the car off at his house the night before, Luckily, I made sure the missus wrote down the millage. He then took it to his garage changed the spring, drove it back today and dropped it off, was only 45 quid sounds pretty cheap. Not a bad deal we thought. The missus is a little particular over her pride and joy (as we all are here) so she had a good look around it. Turns out he's done 120miles in it! According to google, its 12.9 from the centre of where we live to the centre of Sunderland (where the garage is) so call it 30miles there and back, maybe add a few miles in for grace. So I can only assume that he's been for a right jolly in it. and there is also a long scrape of chips horizontal along the rear bumper protector. As you can imagine we are both livid. We know for a fact it wasn't there before and with the amount of miles hes added on shows his complete lack of regard and respect for a customers car. She called him up and argued that the damage wasn't there before and he's agreed to take the car on Thursday night and get it sorted and he has agreed to pay. I notice how he didn't even argue against the damage. Not a happy bunny to say the least. But it goes to show, you get what you pay for, had she paid the extra few quid and went to the usual place this wouldn't have happened.

Don't suppose you've got the link to them mate? I've love a set for my legacy if they did any. ta ;)
