Nothing coz I've been at the formula 1 all day :-)

Thanks guys all signed up :-) Cheers Alan

Job done and I'm in :-) Thank you to all concerned for arranging the discounts etc. Cheers Alan

Crikey that's a good saving! Sign me up lol

Nice one :-)

Ooh would this cover for the stereo I'm about to chuck a shed load of cash at please :) Cheers Alan

Cheers guys, Got one off eBay so fingers crossed will arrive ok? Cheers Alan

Sound pretty much like what I want. Just a nice sound without too much. Cheers Alan

Ta, Did you get any sender or a specific one? Cheers Alan

Looking forward to seeing how you get on with this one. With me getting the new head unit soon speakers will be the next port of call :-) Cheers Alan

Hiya, Just been thinking about an obd11 scanner code thingy and wondered if I could get a Bluetooth dongle thing that would plug in? If I can get a app can maybe plug it in on the stereo to keep an eye etc. saves having to drag the pc out to the car too? Has anyone done this and what dongle/ apps did you use? Cheers Alan

Very nice motor :-)

Ahh yeah forgot that was on. Looking forward to seeing the pictures from it :-)

Must have seen about 4 impreza's in hull on the way home tonight? Couple were quite tasty. Is there a show on or anything as quite a few other nice cars out and about. Didn't wave as we were in the wife's car. Cheers Alan

Ordered my double din dash kit from hammonds subaru. Just got to wait for it to come from japan now :-) The road to a decent sound system begins lol

For the work involved would it not be easier to get some wheels with a different offset so it sat a bit wider? Might be less to worry about on things going wrong and you would be keeping the same size tyres etc? Cheers Alan

Yeah would like some new wheels but they are a bit down on the list :-( Black is another option lol. I'm more inclined to silver/gold if I went dark on the wheels. Am going to steer clear of red I think for that reason. Different if they were brembos lol This is the daily car unfortunately so couldn't wait for them to be dipped. Again would look nice with some bigger brakes :-)

Hiya, After a few alternative ideas. My wheels are in need of a refurb really amd am thinking of going graphite grey almost matching the body or a satin black?? Any other ideas?? Also was going to clean up the calipers while the wheels are off. Not sure if subaru had a specific colour or if it is just a choice? Thinking silver/gold or red. Again any ideas? Pic below to give an idea of colour

Been emailing hammonds Subaru in Suffolk and they have been really helpful. Can get the part shipped from Japan special order! Is nice to find a dealer willing to help with something like this. It is a bit pricey for the double din kit but means I can get a new stereo which links to my phone to get nav etc. It also means I can get the dab radio as well and as that was going to be about £150 to £200 then it makes it easier to justify. Plus I have had the go ahead from swmbo to go for it. Will ring them tomorrow as it will take 2 to 4 weeks to be shipped in. Bonus. Going to get the tow bar and tints done in July as well so will just be the wheels to refurb then it will look ace (to me anyway). Am thinking of graphite :-) Once the new stereo goes in i can then see what the speakers are really like and upgrade them over a period of time as funds flow again lol. Cheers Alan

I'm not a big drum and bass fan or anything (prefer rock music) but I do likea clear sound. I've had occasions where you can hear the speaker "rattle" if you turn the volume up.

Following on from my other post with regards the ipod thingy i am seriously thinking about upgrading the stereo. Trouble is the aircon controls are built into the front panel on the outback. Can you get a replacement panel in the uk to be able to fit a double din unit?? Also the speakers aren't fantastic (i'm being nice). Tbh it is probably the only thing on the whole car that is not up to standard. When you think how much these are new i'd have thought they would have a decent standard one. Still is it the speakers that are naff and the headunit is ok or the other way round? If anyone has advice on this i'd be grateful as i haven't done a lot on radios for quite a few years? Ta Alan

Hiya, Not sure if anyone will know but i have the factory phone kit on the outback but the button that does all the controls is a bit mullered. Can you get a new button or is my only option to hunt in a breakers? Ta Alan

I'm with a broker called chris knott. Been really good with my stuff even when modified. Cheers Alan

Lol gave mine a wash but need to t-cut where some seagull pooped on it. Washed it off same day but it has still marked it

My 58 plate 2.0d RE. Love it
