Hi guys. So my 2008 WRX Hatch snapped a timing belt on Tuesday and has been recovered to a garage. I am expecting a new engine or equivalent level of work to get it back on the road. So engine out is almost a guarantee. I am sulking about it at the moment but would like to try and find a few small positives in the situation and get a few mods or service items done while the engine is out to save cost later. The car has 45k on the clock. I think a clutch might be worth doing. Not sure if I go for an uprated or something else. Really just after ideas and advice on what to do to make he car better or more reliable after a crappy situation. Thanks Alex -- I make Films and Website for people

Can not be looked at till Wednesday any way as garage is busy so will have time to get round to everyone first and sort it out. Also the spliter snapped when it was being loaded. So yay for more fun. -- I make Films and Website for people

I think I watched 5th gear and use an octane booster made them loose power everytime. -- I make Films and Website for people

Driven 300 miles home after a few days away shooting. Not sure the Impreza was designed as a motor way curser but it dose ok for me so far :-D 1500+ motor way miles so far this month. -- I make Films and Website for people

Let me know about convoy down. It's only down the road but nice to drive to the sound of Subaru. -- I make Films and Website for people

Anyone know where I can get a wheel arch liner? And what I should expect to pay. I have had a Google around with no luck so far. Was driving on the motor way today and randomly had a scraping noise so looked and the arch liner was bent back on its self and was been warn away so about 6 inches shorter than the drivers side. I have cable tied it in place for now but the wind will still get into it so could do with replacing it really. -- I make Films and Website for people

As said it looks to big. Could have just been something someone had made up for the car. I know civic type r's have a plate with a number on so someone could have liked that idea and just had one made to shown of its a PPP -- I make Films and Website for people

I don't think cosworth do one but I know other people make them but I have heard their bad for the car due to the oil coming off over time. Not sure though, I have also seen dino tests showing no difference changing the filter over stock but still might try one myself. -- I make Films and Website for people

I liked it but I get what people are saying about it getting silly and going to far into action and not about cars anymore. But it's what I expected and enjoyed it because of that. -- I make Films and Website for people

Yer it's not to expensive a friend of mine dose it and as long as it's done properly you wouldn't get anything under it. -- I make Films and Website for people
