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

I'm exhausted, spent the day detailing the car. Washed and dried, clayed, cleaned up the left over tar with tar remover, polished and buffed off, gloss protection and buffed off, wax on and wax off, cleaned windows and finished off with some tyre dressing. Will edit in some pics :) sorry these phone pics are the best i took :(

booked in with martin to get some bushes, pagid discs, pads replaced and some hel braided brake lines. :) Spent the last few days waiting for an overcast day so i can wash, clay, polish then wax the scooby. The last few days it was far too sunny and today its been !Removed! it down all day.

Yea tht looks awesome mate.

Ordered my new braided hel brake lines today! Also bought an autoglym clay bar kit. Excited love buying car stuff.

looks good mate, i bet its nice to have two subaru's on the drive :)

Just got back from Spain. Lovely place and the women are simply stunning! So many slim tanned brunettes and blondes! Shame about the British tourists that see the country as a giant **** up and ruined the place.

Still in benidorm, will get some pics up a few days after i get back. Found out i've got a job interview the day after i return, so as soon as we land and get bk to my folks i've gotta jump in the scoob n drive 130miles bk up north n try to prepare for it. Lol fun fun

Having met martin hes a proper top bloke, so id imagine he'd have a quick look.

If i remember correctly its something to with the salt/grit getying through a small gap under the car and possibly corroding some of the brake lines. I think they just clean off the corrosion and apply some protective fluid.

Im in benidorm. Its !Removed! hot and the place is full with fit women. :)

Just two hours before we are due to go to the airport, the missus finally finished packing... oh look shes over weight. Not suprisngly sges packed aload of **** she doesnt need -.-

Thanks chaps, sounds good. Hows the cornering? My dad always complains that his suzuki doesnt take very tight corners very well. Do most of the foz's have a high to low transfer box for the awd? I ask as, my folks live up an old farmers lane/track up a hill, now in the bad snow its absolutely terrible to get up and down. Being able to pop it in Low ratio they can drive down in 1st gear, in a controlled manner without having to touch brakes. its eqaully useful for driving up the track in the deep snow. thanks in advance.

Found this on Ebay, might be of interest to any of the hatch guys. I got my genuine subaru spoiler from him, no complaints. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191218121048?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

how is the ride in the Forresters? my dads got a short wheel based 52 plate 1.6 petrol suzuki grand vitae which is on the way out and could do with being replaced. Now his Suzuki is like driving a boat, the ride is horrible, it leans around the bends and any passengers get thrown about all over the shop. It's not very pleasant. So i suggested a 2.0Foz, but i'm wondering if the ride would be nice and firm?

yea i probably will bud, gonna get martin to fit me new brake lines, discs and pads too :)

how are the osram side lights? i would mind getiing some, but i couldn't figure out how to get the old bulbs out lol. I presume you have to take out the whole housing.

that looks awesome mate, bet your chuffed. :)
