Well that's how it turned out (sorry for the pic quality). I quite like it :)

Doesn't matter... I pulled it and it popped out :) This is after we took out and off the whole centre console.... At least I know how to change the Heater bulbs now! So I've changed the bulbs, but now my petrol light is on and blue... Is it just because the bulbs are a lot brighter and its lighting the Low Fuel icon?

That's on a 1998 yeah? We're having a lot of trouble :? We don't want to pull to hard and snap anything....

Car: 1998 Impreza Turbo 2000 I want to change my dials to blue when they light up as opposed to green. What bulbs do I have to buy? I've read through a few forums and can't seem to find a definite answer? Also people are saying it's almost impossible to see the fuel and oil gauge needle afterwards... has anyone done this mod or seen it in person? Regards, Chris.

Both links are dead...

I got a quick oil change at National Tyres, new pads all round and new brake fluid. It's booked to go into CotComp near Preston start of March to see a few minor issues. They;re giving it all a check over too. I speak to Steve Cotton on a different Subaru Site and seems like an honest, decent guy. Bought a Cosworth Panel Filter from them and got 10% Discount for being part of this site :)

Cost me about £50 - £60 in petrol I think :P I did take a load more photos, but didn't want to flood the thread. As we got back to the cars, the two owners were taking the exact same pictures as I did. So I smiled and said, "I had to do exactly the same! :) " They smiled, nodded and got in their cars and drove off... Maybe my lip rings scared them :P

Yesterday I went to the Lakes for a bit of a play and we went to LakesMotorMuseum When we arrived we found these two parked up! So it made sense to park next to them! After coming out, both the guys were taking pictures of all three of the cars too :) We walked inside and I decided to be cheeky and asked if they did Owners Club Discounts and showed them the Halfords Discount Card that you get when you become a member on here, to which they agreed that they would and gave me 10% off :) So it's worth a try at any Car related place to try and get a bit of money off. Clubs Anyway, here's a few pictures I took: Then after finding out the other place we wanted to go to was closed on Mondays, we saw a Snowy Mountain on the horizon, so made it out mission to go and touch some snow... (the small things in life)

Crap...... I misread it as NW :( In which case, I can't come to this one. It'll be the North WEST one I go to

ThankYou :) I'm rather proud of her! (gf I mean, not the car... well, AND the car)

Im up for this, thankfully it's a Saturday! Most meets on other Subaru Sites (I'm not cheating on you with other sites... honest ​ ) are Sundays, which is the only day I really cant get off :( So good choice!

I've seen her drawings before, but this is the first car she's ever done Gave it to me for Valentines Day, so it's now on a canvas and on the wall.

Sorry to hijack the thread slightly, but why are they so bad, Gambit?

Guess who I'm with :P

Adrian Flux have always given me silly quotes. I'm £1900 Fully Comp now, but when I was looking Flux said they couldn't get anywhere close... £4000...

Thanks :) I've just fitted a Cosworth Panel Filter from Cotton Comp and it's made the car a bit more responsive, which is nice. Next month it'll be going in for a Full Service, then I can buy the exhaust.

Welcome to the Club, wish my insurance would let me play with a P1 :(

Yep, with my extensive knowledge of Subaru's, I can tell you that yours is definitely green! Welcome to the Club :)

Well, I've had a load of difficulty today, but it's finally back on the road with all round new pads :) National Tyres in Blackpool have been awesome today. The mechanic spent two hours driving me around trying to find the right parts. But now she's alive again. Just in time for a Cruise tonight just up the road :) all Policed and official.

I know. Not a lot anyone can do. Checked the service history, it's had new front discs and pads, but couldn't find anything about the rears. He spent £6,500 on services altogether! So I highly doubt he ever took a cheap option, was just time for the brakes to go I guess. Just annoyed that after I bought the car, I changed work companies which means my pay is a bit screwed this month, leaving me short :( This is how he was with the services:

Well, that was short lived... Noticed some slight grinding when braking before, took it to the garage and rear pads are to the metal. And because it's been sat, a bolt snapped when they took the calliper off, so now I need a new pad carrier too. So, rear pads and carriers on both sides now... urgh. Could not afford something to go wrong so quickly :(

Thanks Ghost. I can't get enough of it! (though my bank balance is suffering). Just quickly looked through the service history properly. Cambelt was done at 47,629 miles. I've just taken the car past 76,000. Some of the history... We definitely thought the petrol needed a good clean out, there was just under quarter left, so we filled it and then added the Redex. Motorsport Development said they'd check the oil and only change it if it needs changing... So best to just change it all regardless. Sounds like a plan Gaulson! Going to be watching the Legend Fires North West Rally 6th - 7th February :) I was driving it back and an Impreza '05 - '08 pulled up next to me in the fast lane, slowed down level, looked at me, nodded with a smile and put his foot down... the car went like **** off a shovel. (I felt all happy being recognized as part of the Subaru "Club" ^_^ ) on that note, I also just paid Membership for here.

Thankyou :) Yeah, I don't want to go too overboard with it. Just get it looking "fresh / sharp/ clean / adjective / adjective". I'm keeping all the standard parts too, so I can change back if / when I come to sell her for a faster version I want to get it fully serviced, so then I know exactly where I stand with it. The fact it's been stood for 3 years, is playing on my mind a bit.... old oil etc. Or do you think just an Oil Service would suffice?

Thankyou :) I'd want crystal headlights to go with it too then? Do they look that different? I haven't changed anything to do with the front lights, except the main bulbs. The lights have a perspex cover on them at the moment. I'm going to put the blue bulbs in the sidelights tomorrow and see how that looks. (too cold to do it now) I've spoken to a few garages to get it fully serviced, since it's been stood for 3 years. Been quoted £150 ballmark from Motorsport Development (closest Subaru Specialist), with anything extra on top. And emailed Cotton Comp before, so waiting to hear back (they have the Cosworth panel filter in stock, so that will be going on in place of the standard one). A local garage said £250 - £300, depending on how much the plugs are... Then after the service, I'll be looking at cat-back exhaust, possible ECU/sister board/map. That'll probably be all, performance wise (he says). Oh... and getting it lowered (STi suspension upgrade?) I'd then be wanting the high rise spoiler, colour code the side and rear skirts. Plus and still trying to decide between the front splitter. And STi rear lights.... Fitted the audio head unit before. LOVE hearing the turbo spooling

Hello! Well, I put my deposit down on 6th of December and I finally picked my Subaru up on Monday! It was a 3 hour drive back to mine and she ran pretty much perfectly, except for the last 30 minutes, where if I put my foot down, it kept accelerating and then choking and accelerating again... I quickly went into Halfords and spoke to a guy that owns a Prodrive Impreza and he suggested to run Redex through it which I have, so now it runs perfect again. Sorry about the quality of the picture and I didn't have a chamois, so it doesn't look as good. But Saturday I'll be giving it a proper clean. I had already bought a few things for the car, before I picked it up... I'm sure you'll spot them. I changed the main lights to Xenon and checked what I looked like before changing the side ones too... but I kinda like the yellow VS blue... opinions? C.V
