Been hanging around the forum a short while and done a few posts, but just recently got a nearly new July 2014 WR Blue STi. Had a classic 96 Prodrive when I was in my early 20's and now many years later decided it was right time to own one again :-) absolutely loving the car and much more useable than my Honda S2000 and no comment about comparison to the Audi A6 (even though it was new). I'm located just outside Holmfirth so in between NW and Yorkshire/Humb side people, so hoping to get to some meets and shows when I can. Used to be a regional organiser back when I had the Classic with SIDC/Scoobynet, but that's 17 years ago :-) and had more re time then ;-) Thanks all and nice friendly forum. Darren.

Nokian wr a3's and our 4wd and you'll be overtaking snow ploughs :-) joking apart I've run continental and Michelin winters for the past 3 years on both FWD Audi A6 and RWD Honda S2000 and they make a massive difference. Don't need to have snow, once you're below 7 degrees and the summer rubber hardens up the winters remain soft and grip is still good..... Was very useful in the S2000 :-) not got any yet for the STi but very likely to, as per Tom's findings. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I've seen NF Octane Booster recommend on a few Subaru forums but have always used Miller Oils version. Can't comment on how well it works but my old 96 classic ran smoother with it than without, not tried it yet on the 14 STi. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yep I believe so and similar to ones on my 2014 STi Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Let us know how you get on as they are top of my list and I'd like to know if they are any good. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Not used them myself but had quite a lot of recommendations for ProSport in Stockport. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I would also check your tyre wear, I've had some similar noises when I first got my last car and the tyres were feathered (uneven wear on the tread blocks). It went away when I replaced the tyres, funnily enough it was only on the front tyres. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
