I bought a new alloy wheel brush from asda for two quid... as i broke my last one cleaning out old mud from under the rear bumper and wheel arches...

+1 Shell / Vpower / tesco fuels. As for tyres what about black circles?

:( The missus isnt coming anymore, she's not happy with paying the extra for it and my mate jack'd me out to go to vfest... I'll be all on my tod :'(

So the ticket we have, is only for our car and the driver? I'm pretty certain it did say on their japfest 2 website it was 15.50 for the car and 4 people.

I got a reply from them. "Thank you for your correspondence to the Shell Drivers’ Club. I can confirm that 800 Shell Drivers’ Club points have been re-credited to your account for the undelivered June 2014 statement with £4.00 worth of Money off Fuel vouchers since we are unable to re-order the vouchers manually less than £10.00. Please allow 5 days for these points to be updated on the web site. I am pleased to confirm that your points balance, as of 29/07/2014 is 2146 Drivers’ Club points." So erm... anyone think Shell will convert those 2000 points into a 20 quid off voucher? or will they not bother to send the next lot of vouchers either...

So it looks like those with passengers will need extra tickets? !Removed!. Anyone got the number for trading standards? lol

yeah that would be best for me too. (and I presume the rest of the northerners). I got my ticket today yay! What does the big number 5 on the ticket mean btw?

awesome pics mate :) loving the front splitter :)

Yeah i get the offers on a weekly basis, they clearly want our money. Shame there isnt really an alternative to Vpower. :(

ah ok, Will have to keep my eye out, see if i can find a seller on ebay that's breaking a mk4 legacy saloon with leather seats.

ooohhh exciting... Erm, during the meetup before the show if there are other clubs nearby, would it be a good idea to pop out a few SOC signs in front of the cars? I can Imagine myself parking up next to the wrong club or something.

Hi, Does anyone else have this issue? Since having the scoob (mid-late FEB) I've been collecting points, had well over 2000k. Vouchers are supposed to be sent every quarter along with a quarterly statement. Shell are flipping useless and aint sent any vouchers whatsoever. Despite telling me a few months back that they are sending them out in June. But no, no vouchers arrived (they removed a load of my points though). So I've been on to them again, apparently they did send them in June. Yet nothing has come and they have said it will take them 28 days to investigate and decide whether or not they are going to reissue the vouchers. Shell, that is not how you look after your customers. Especially ones that are happy to buy a full tank of your premium fuel on a regular basis. Jesus christ, Rant over.

Yeah I will bud, It will be a good few months though, a bit short on cash lol.

Cheers for the reply tlag, ive only just seen it. When you say it might be a problem, do you think it wont be possible?

David was your quote from a place in middlesbrough? Tony banks in leeds does longlife exhausts, but he did my mates exhaust on his old 207 gti it ended up far too loud and the fitter left some nuts and bolts loose in the engine bay, which ended up destroying his whole radiator. So avoid him lol. Thanks for the reply jay, would i see much difference between the standard cat abd a sports cat? One reason i fancy a new cat is because the cars done 91k and if i went for a cat back system im in a sense only replacing half the exhaust.

Id like to do somthing like this too. Looks pretty awseom though, im not half bad with electrics do shouldnt be too dificult once funds allow ofc.

So, in the future i'm planning to get a new exhaust, want something that gives the car a bit of sporty sound and maybe a burble if possible. But nothing over the top noisy. As Saloon Legacies are relatively rare, I can't find parts online and if i could i'd expect they'd have to be imported and probably cost the earth. So i looked at getting a custom one made. I looked a powerflow and decided that i'd avoid them due to negative reviews. But Found a place nearby that does "longlife" exhausts. Anyone have any experience of this? i emailed him for some quotes. For a twin exit cat back system he offered £560 but reduced to £504 For a twin exit and sports cat system he offered £995 but offered it for £895! For a twin exit with a decat system he offered £785 but reduced to 735. - also said "Its a decat which can be removed for MOT purposes." On one hand I'd like a decat, but i can imagine it being a chew at MOT time and in case i got pulled over and was emission tested by the feds/VOSA. So I'm not sure about the decat. Any advice would be appreciated. tom

Looking good gem :) I like the pink, it looks good with other pink bits on the car :)

Well its likely i wont be camping anymore. My mate pulled out a few days ago, so i'll probably just be coming down for the day :( Can't exactly go camping on my own, lol be a bit lonely haha

Looking good mate :)

Went on a long run home today, (debyshire bk up to the north east) averaged 40.1mpg with cruise at 70mph. :)

Martin n dave at sheffield subaru fitted me some new bushes, discs, pads and braided hel hoses yesterday. Excellent service! My brakes are fantastic now, so responsive.

lol, why cant you park a clayed car near trees? I may or may not have done this.... haha

Cant suggest any garages around your way mate, but martin n dave from sheffield subaru service are top blokes.

hahaha, not camping now... but will be camping for japfest. That's my parents drive they live in a cottage next to a farm, lovely place! And mum makes lovely beef dinners and chocolate cake :D
