Ill go find a sampler and see what they smell like chum and also make sure they dont react with me, love the smell of Joop but 20 minutes after I put some on it reacts and I smell like rampant tom cat pee

I try and match pairs as the same make / tread pattern as what happens with mismatched patterns is they work against each other and wear out faster. dependant on how much wear is on the rest of the tyres eg if they are near new just go for the one of the same make / tread pattern if they are past half way I would replace the pair

Wotcha and welcome - As Stanton says there are a number of options but could you confirm some of the details :)

ferrous / sintered pads will go through metal discs - its metal on metal - great stopping power but it does wear - same principle as I mentioned earlier, you want great performance you will get it but at the cost of replacing components earlier which is fine as long as this is understood. also mintex - used them with Tarox grooved discs and goodridge braided hoses years ago, transformed the brakes, great performance but they wore quickly - no fade at all with that setup

oooh I do like that spoiler looks spot on - putting your own mark on cars and bikes is great - just be careful its a slippery slope but a great slide, very addictive :D

Looking good - obviously got an eye for a shot

Wotcha and welcome - that is indeed a tidy looking motor, sounds like you have sensible mods there already and with the STI spec you have brakes suspension roll bars all beefed up as well - with 330bhp I'd say just keep adding shell Vpower & sticky rubber. I would encourage you to get a forum sticker on your vehicle but we seem to have some supply issues at the moment but hopefully that is being rectified :D ah just thought have your cam belts been done - if not it would be worth looking at those and possibly changing the coolant pump for a design that doesn't cavitate at high revs, possibly a higher pressure oil pump as well - not essential but for me it would be peace of mind

When it comes to brake pads performance and long lasting don't tend to go hand in hand. For best performance I would go EBC yellow but as a compromise to get slightly longer life choose EBC red. Ferrodo has also been recommended in previous threads on the subject (cant remember the specific type number though) I have used them in the past but again great results though I don't remember them lasting too long

and I dare say one of them includes the use of a big hammer

pillocks

That does look the dogs danglies :)

08 Impreza is just screw on - didnt want to say that in case it had an auto box with a captive screw or something :P

Yes

kwik fit have kitted their places out with decent four wheel laser alignment gear - I was pointed in their direction by a former scooby owner mechanic they came in at £80

sorry cant help you with that one - One of the others will be along in a bit I'm sure to point you in the right direction.

dont think redex will sort it - yes I would pull the sender out and give it a service - it should be with the petrol pump so not too hard a job to complete, dependant on how old the car / mileage is consider replacing the fuel pump whilst you are there?

brilliant :D :D

good idea with the earth lead - yup the OCD in me would have to sort the left one out particularly as you did such a good job with the headlights :D

I could live with that - would probably have to de rail the front grill

£60 does indeed sound reasonable

Good luck with the sale :) amp 45wx4 channels at 4 ohm impedance wheel

Had it when I was younger driving 200sx and scirroco not had any issues with Scooby

Wotcha and welcome Mike - sorry to hear you have some issues there. We have had a couple of recommendations for your area from Scooby Pete a resident in your part of the world Surrey Subaru Specalist in camberly. https://www.facebook.../surrey.subarus TFS who have moved to Aldershot hants. 01252 330366 are very good and worth the journey.

its all done off a sender in the tank itself, as Gambit says it sounds like the linkage could go with a bit of a clean

Watch for bolts dropping - put a sheet / towel over your engine to catch them - mine had bolts going into top hat type nuts but they were not solid in the plastic scoop and I dropped a couple into the bay below bit of a pain to get the little buggers out again
