I use Osram Nightbreak unlimited bulbs. H7's and H4's I think. Really good bulbs, definitely worth getting a set.

Will see ff i can find any campsites near donnington for the fri n sat nights. Me n me buddy joe are camping, so the more merrier. The missus might be coming too, but hopefully not dont wanna get caught checking out the girlys.... lol

Lol im camping again! Haha! Might buy a plot on a campsite rather than a house lol.

We need to sort out a camping venue on the Friday and Saturday, be cool to get to know everyone over the weekend with beer and BBQ's :)

hey all, So, when i went to see Martin at SSS a few months back (great service btw) he pointed out my bushes needed replacing. So i'm thinking I'll bite the bullet and get them replaced. Has anyone got any advice about bushes? I have no idea what they do, or how much they cost to replace/repair. I read that replacing the bushes is a complete pain in the backside though. Anyone heard of Powerflex bushes? I heard they last alot longer than normal bushes, but are alot firmer? Are they worth the extra cost? thanks in advance tom

I spent an hour or so brushing out all the dried up mud and crap that was caught under my wheel arches. As well as all the crap that seemed to collect around the rear bumper. My god, there was loads of i! Ended up with two piles of mud sat on the road and broke my cheap halfords wheel brush in the process.

hi, welcome to the club bud.

Got totally soaked camping on Friday and Saturday Night and had to take the sister in law to Harrogate A and E at 10.30pm on the sat night as she slipped on a climbing frame and hurt her leg. Luckily only bruising and nothing major. But we didn't get to sleep till about 2am, so i didn't get to NBO till gone 11.30am. But it was pretty awesome once I got there, never seen so many Subaru's haha.

Nice car, I like the scoop. I'd like a bonnet like that :) If it was my car, I'd either leave the alloys as they are or buy a set of 17's. - Although, I'd imagine 16's would be better in the winter/snow. I looked at painting my calipers too, decided that I'm going to paint them either a matt or gloss black. I think that if I was to paint them a bright eye catching colour it would only highlight my stock brakes lol.

Hi mate, Welcome to the forum. Love the front end, nice clean model. I've got a 2006 2.0R legacy, so we probably have the same engine. Really solid engine btw, even though its non turbo. I find that I get good MPG using Shell Vpower, so that's certainly worth doing imo. There's a big meet on this Sunday at Lightwater Valley, should come mate. There are details here and here

lol, I was just going to look for all the subaru's... hahha until I go and park up with the wrong owners club! hahah

lol, I'm with One Call Direct, Never heard of them until they offered me 550 for fully comp, business use, 12k miles, protected no claims via moneysupermarket. All the other companies wanted 850 quid and upwards. Although, they are probably cheap for a reason, but like buying from any company, you never know how good they are until you personally experience their support etc etc. For me, Insurance is a buy at the cheapest price and forget about it for a year.

i didn't get one :(

Can you complain to Ebay/paypal bud?

I think most people have dealings with insurance companies once per year, renewal time. Even if this goes smoothly, we still don't have a positive word to say about ins companies as its so damn expensive and a cost most of us could probably do without. Yet when something goes south we are first to complain.

Just looking for car stuff to buy, as I do most days. Looking at Brembo Discs and pads today. Now for some idea they make rear discs for my model but no rear pads. Whats with that? A bit strange eh.

I'm planning on camping for two nights before Japfest. Anyone else interested? Be pretty sweet to get together as a club for a BBQ then convoy to Japfest.

i know what you mean about the speakers, mine are a little naf too. a New set of speakers are on my to do list, although, a bit low down haha.

Sweet, loads of us going :) Can't wait

Me n the missus aint happy bunnies. Went to pick her Astra 1.6 from the garage (the one that !Removed! my steering up) was just a full service, charged her 110 quid. They also said her right rear spring is broken. However, few months ago when they MOT'd the car, they said her rear left spring was broken. At the time, they didn't want to replace both springs and said it wasn't necessary. I tried to argue otherwise but to no avail. Had they replaced both springs in the first place this wouldn't have happened. -.- Tempted to get under the car and physically check and confirm that the spring is actually broken. Edit, got underneath the car. i can see the left rear spring looks newer than the right rear. But the Right Rear which they have said is broken (but not dangerous) looks fine to me. it looks a bit older than the left rear, but i could see no cracks or damage to it and It felt solid to touch. Any ideas? Edit, Does this look broken to anyone?

Thats a sodding fortune! Have you checked the comparison websites? Go compare, moneysupermarket, compare the market, confused, as well as others like directline, AA, LV, RAC. You could also try Kieth Michaels too - Clicky

Had a bit of rain this morning, naturally I didn't miss an opportunity for water beading pics! :D

I'm a mod on another forum (pc's tech related) Often new members first handful of posts have to be "moderated" before they are posted on the forum. So this is what I expect has probably happened.

Do we have a confirmed list of names for those that are in? I'll try and remember my camera to get some snaps of the cars before leave.
