Picking up Impreza tomorrow :)
Nice. Where you moving to mate? Worthing? Littlehampton? I go to visit my family in Rustington and Arundel...A24 is a great road for an Impreza [emoji3] Wheels could need balancing or tracking done. The extra safety of the AWD is worth the little less MPG you'd get from a Honda or Ford. Especially at this time of year.

Plasti dip wheels
That's a lot more reasonable....where was that done mate?
-
Plasti dip wheels
ah yea nice. I was thinking I'd probably buy some 2nd hand prodrives instead of paying the £320 for tarting up boring standard wheels. Are you a member of SurreyScoobies.co.uk ? Great set of guys with loads of local knowledge.

She hates to drive it so I make her especially when we go to the pub ;)

Plasti dip wheels
I found someone in Crawley who came highly recommended. They sand blast, then repair, then three layers of paint then layer of lacquer. I think it was £65+vat a wheel! http://www.wheelworksuk.co.uk/faq.php#howlong I've not used them yet but the guy on the phone was very helpful and gave me the impression they'd do a great job....just can't bring myself to spend 320ish (incl vat) for all four!

Royal Purple Oil
I was considering a 911 before I bought my scoob...just couldn't get over the fact everyone else would think Im a tw@t :) and I'm not normally one for bending to peer pressure. Has to be a 4S or a Cayman if you go for one. Can't be a Coxster....even other Porsche owners hate them lol

Replacement seats for WRX
I think I saw your for sale thread and those seats look a load better mate. Humm interesting. I have heard the classic seats are better than new age for comfort. Have you driven a new age?

Very poor performance in damp conditions - Noob help
I had a bog standard GX for 6 years and it stuck to the road in snow, rain etc....,.just saying :) I personally wouldn't update a thing as its not exactly a rapid car. I'd save the money and get a turbo later if I were you. Each to their own and all that. It's your money Afterall [emoji3]

Wind noise caused by rubber grommet?
Ah I'll forget it then. Thanks Stants. My triangles are fine and I've messed around with the window rubber. I was hoping he was referring to something else.

Next question sorry! Exhausts
Humm...I have a Blob that was quieter than my wife's Honda. I swapped for a Prodrive back box (still with all its cats) and now it burbles with the best of them. I think the hatch is a lot quieter, I'm not an expert is it due to the equal length manifold or something?I've never heard a quiet Nur spec!

Replacement seats for WRX
Yea those are the ones I have now. I don't find them very supportive unfortunately. The bucket seats seem more supportive. I say seem as I've only sat in stationary cars and not driven around in them
-
Replacement seats for WRX
Humm that's something I haven't considered. I'll have a Google [emoji3]
-
Replacement seats for WRX
Yea thanks mate. I was thinking the buckets would be more comfy. They are quite rare (only 300 cars made) but I do know where to get them. I think it was £425 for them or £250 for STI in the same place. Hence the dithering
-
Replacement seats for WRX
I would prefer black/grey if I can find some without STI on them
-
Replacement seats for WRX
They look very similar to my standard Blob WRX seats tbh. Mine don't have airbags in them. I was looking at the Alcantara (?) seats. The Blob STI or the WRX300 World a Rally seats like the ones shown in the link... http://www.subaru-impreza.org/downloads/impreza-wrx300.pdf I like the idea of these as I don't really like the idea of having STI badged seats in a WRX

Wind noise caused by rubber grommet?
I was at a second hand parts dealer the other day. We were talking cars and when i mentioned excessive wind noise (snigger) he said that's usually caused by missing grommets at the front. Unfortunately we were in the middle of a completely different conversation at the time and I didn't get the opportunity to ask him what grommets he was referring to. Anyone got any ideas please?
-
Replacement seats for WRX
Oh those look tasty [emoji3] Might ping him a email if you're not interested mate. I think they'd look better tgan the world rally seats even.

Replacement seats for WRX
