What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Fitting a new stereo last night, it's rubbish so sending it back... shame really :( Sounded promising... - Touchscreen - Full 1080p HD - Sat Nav - Bluetooth - SD and USB support So when I had installed it and found that it saves radio stations but not other settings I wasn't happy. Also sound keeps dimming when losing a bit of signal AND it doesn't support anything to do with IPOD!

In car recording tips?
Those are some pretty good alternatives, surprising what's out there really. I might sell my GoPro soon and either upgrade or move onto a different style of camera.

Need For Speed Trailer (Movie)
Need for speed games had a story line? Think I missed that... I liked need for speed underground but after that I lost interest. I'm big on Forza games though. As for the film, yes it does look awesome and I made sure I had my scooby before this came out. Will feel much better turning up to the cinema in it compared to my old fiesta ;)

High mileage
Mine is on 93k, seeing as these engine just go and go don't think it will be the highest

In car recording tips?
I will check out the Mobius cams, I use the GoPro mainly for mountain biking so can keep that set up for that kind of action and use a different camera for in car stuff.

Does anybody have photo shop? I use an ipad : (
Yeah I think a matte carbon effect would look pretty decent

In car recording tips?
Thanks, I will have a look into that. Seems like a good option to me

In car recording tips?
I have a GoPro and a suction mount that I have used to record videos in my cars. In the Subaru however it seems to pick up wind noise rather than engine, I was using a waterproof case though. Looked up online and they said a vented back would be better and it is just still not that good. Maybe mounting in a different location? Currently it sounds like this...

Intercooler pipe experience
That sounds like one hell of a car... shame it's french though... ;)

Intercooler pipe experience
Well that's a cheap fix ;) . Loving that pic!! Going to have to fill up today... 2nd time since I got the car. Got just over 250 miles out of a full tank, not bad!

Intercooler pipe experience
That is the worst! Almost as bad as stepping on a plug.... wouldn't advise that. On a side note, while it was having work done I put the intake back to standard. It had a cone filter on it which gave a "suck" noise so you couldn't hear the engine. Now sounds beautiful again!

Intercooler pipe experience
Thanks, I had it put back on last night extra tight and driving to work today she seemed pretty good. Was a good scare though!

Intercooler pipe experience
This one definitely caught me by suprise, I was on my way home from work and happened to be behind a motorbike. Coming onto a straight I thought "wonder if I can keep up" so gave it some, got round the corner onto another straight and just into third gear there was a pop/bang! All power went, smoke out of exhaust and it died. Obviously first thing I thought was "oh god my car" then once I popped the bonet I realised the intercooler pipe had come off. I was told I was just unlucky but I'm worried it might have been something to do with my driving as It's only my 4th day in the car. (On a side note this bike couldn't outrun the scooby... until that)

First weekend in Scooby
She has had a paddle clutch fitted recently so I know that's in good condition. The guy that owned it before me is my brother in law, he had it for 3 years and drove about 2k miles in total and the guy before him had it for 2 years and probably did less. So I think all this driving will be a shock to it's system :P . Yeah I was playing around this morning learning when it starts boosting, although didn't get to open her up at all on way to work. Just a casual drive in, still smiling though. I also find I'm waking up earlier in a morning, wanting to go out.

First weekend in Scooby
I haven't attempted to launch it yet so when I get some quiet time on the roads I will give it a go. At least if I stall it no one will be around to mock me ;) . Okay, I will have a check to see if anything is going on. Might not mix in that well seeing as I do look a bit like a geek.... :)

First weekend in Scooby
Thanks for the advice, yeah I have found I am being more sensible in the Subaru, would prefer to be known as the "nice guy who owns the Subaru" rather than the opposite ;) . On my drive home from work today it started to feel a lot more natural to me so give me a couple of weeks and I should be settled in. Also, as I'm new to all this, what happens in the way of club meets and so on? Would be fun to mingle with fellow Subaru people. :)

First weekend in Scooby
Well this weekend was my first weekend driving a Subaru and as I have only been driving around in small hatchbacks I must say it's a big change! Obviously the biggest change is the way the power is delivered... kind of like "coming... coming... coming... HERE" and it's certainly got it's charm. So basically seeing as I am new to the car, some tips would be welcome, such as how to set off in a hurry. At the moment it takes me a bit to get to 20mph as I don't want to do something wrong. So far I know: - Warm the car up before driving and warm it down before switching off - Run on Ultimate unleaded which I have so far put 1 full tank in Also is there anything that is frowned upon? Many thanks in advance!

Hello from near Preston
Hello, just got myself a Subaru Impreza WRX with the full Prodrive kit on it. Still learning to drive it, bit different from Fiestas really. Glad to be in the club!
