Royal Purple Oil
Thanks for advice. Do you change it every 3k?

Royal Purple Oil
I'm in no rush so will only jump ship if the right car is available. I think I want to experience the comfort of the ze germans now and see how their engineering compares to the !Removed!. I wish I had bought an STi now to be fair! Snow could be fun in the scoob though. You taken yours out in the white stuff on normal tyres before? How was it?

Royal Purple Oil
Just watched that video. What a ***** the guy in the 944 was! I think it was a 944. This may surprise you but I was actually looking at gking for the Cayenne. Not to everyones taste however I used to work at Porsche Leeds and I fell in love the moment I got in one.

Royal Purple Oil
Alright cheers bud. I will see how it goes. After this service I am refurbing two alloys and......deep breath.....possibly saying goodbye to my scooby for a Porsche. We will see. I just want the car to be mint and clean first before selling so I can ask for top dollar.

Royal Purple Oil
Thanks mate. Just spoke with the subaru specialist garage and they were like "we run 10w-50" your oil is way too thin. Subaru manual says 5w-30 or 5w-40. Maybe it is preference?!

Royal Purple Oil
Took the cheaper option and went for Shell Helix Ultra. Bought 5w-30 instead of 5w-40 which I put in last time. Will it be ok?

Royal Purple Oil
Maybe that is why they all bang on about it in the states; because they don't have much choice!

Royal Purple Oil
Last time I went for a medium grade Shell Helix Ultra - I'm changing oil every 3k so wanted to keep cost down. With Royal Purple I would change every 5k I think.

Royal Purple Oil
Has anyone used Royal Purple oil in their scoob? It is really popular in America and seems to be the number one choice in the states. It is stocked at AAS, Newcastle at £56 for 5 quarts. F1 cars use this oil now instead of Mobil and on the racing scene it is used very widely and gaining popularity. Most Subaru owners in America comment on how smooth the vehicle as when using Royal Purple. Any comments or advice will be appreciated!

remap queries
My car had not been remapped before. £150 is what I paid for tweaks. £300 was for a full remap. I too thought £600 was the going rate as they were "closed" ECU's and needed a licence. You can imagine how delighted I was to pay so little!
-
remap queries
Andrew Carr did mine. I had overboost problems with my 06 WRX and gave him £150 to tweak the mapping. He has a good reputation. A full remap is £300 from him. Depends how much power you want!

STi badge on a WRX :-/
The car also has wind deflectors running from the front to rear windows. Does anyone know how to get these off? Is it an easy job?
-
STi badge on a WRX :-/
I'm going to take the badges off but keep the spoiler. It is probably less likely to get nicked without STi badges too! Thanks for advice all.

STi badge on a WRX :-/
Hi all. I have a 56plate hawkeye WRX. The guy before me has made it look like an STi. It has the STi rear spoiler and STi pink badges on the front and rear. Should I remove the badges and stop pretending the car is an STi? Should I put the original WRX spoiler on too? Can't decide.
