  1. why bother if you are going to replace them with some super wide rims and stretched rubber? Not a bad idea, will be interesting to see how they sell
  2. I have used Black Diamond before and found them to be a good replacement over OEM discs, given the age of your car I think the braided hoses option and a bleed through with 5.1 fluid will really complement the replacement discs and pads whatever you decide
  3. I found replacing the LED side lights easiest by going through the wheel arch also recommend upgrading the high beam to these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400380971959?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Before After As you can see in the after shot the light looks dimmer but take into consideration the HID main beam is still on and is actually as bright as in the first picture but the camera filtered it due to the brightness :D They have markings in the casting - if it is the VF52 it will have IHI on the casting and the TD04 is labelled also
  4. only thing I could find - sorry not much details but some nice photos http://www.subaru-impreza.de/SonderserienENG.htm#WR-LimitedWRX04 http://www.subaru-impreza.de/Sonderserien/WR-LimitedWRX04.htm
  5. wotcha and welcome - sounds like you have a great motor there so what would you have to pay out in order to buy something as good - there may be other places you could take it to not too far from you - I believe Scooby Pete uses a place Camberley way which may be a cheaper option
  6. not used Apex myself however the damper shouldn't suffer too much as it is there mostly to stop the spring oscillating over the bumps. Running lower just means it is part way through its damping travel already
  7. very interested in this type of thing - shows good places to have vents in the body work
  8. IMO for that price look for good used options ebay, breakers etc as the quality will just not be there or wait and budget for around £700 these BC's give some damping options but I have never used them as a product so cannot comment on the ride quality http://www.scoobyparts.com/suspension/bc-racing/bc-racing-coil-over-set-new-age and here with some optional adjustment http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=39_268&products_id=1549 and the actual website gives an extra low option on the RA http://www.bc-racing.co.uk/applications/subaru-coilovers/subaru-impreza-gdb-00-07-not-sti-05/br-series-coilover-type-ra-4.html
  9. it will be the dv causing it - I have never had any issues with dibble over flames in exhaust caused by DV's over the years - whenever they felt the need to have a conversation there were always other aspects of my driving they felt needed addressing, predominantly my view that the NSL sign in non built up areas was a recommendation
  10. fuel pumps like most things wear out and get over looked - as part of some early subaru PPP upgrades they come with the kit so worth considering to ensure consistent pressure
  11. I dont mind either - silver to break up the black or black on black for stealth look - as you have already gone for some red trim mods I would probably go with the black
  12. we have another thread on here where the chap has gone back to his Focus ST - a short debate has followed - they both have their merits but I think it would be unfair to compare a more modern st with an older scooby other than 4wd vs 2wd
  13. it is normal depending on what has been done to the car - eg anti lag or if you have a vent to atmosphere dump valve, these both cause the car to run rich and the excess fuel is ignited in the pipes antilag
  14. me too, not scoobynet breakers though alternate ones in East Anglia, ebay etc
  15. great news - it will indeed be a world apart from the Navara - mind you mpg is probably similar :D
  16. Wotcha and welcome Fitting cheap coilovers may drop the car but could impact the ride too much due to the aggressive / agricultural damping design. have you thought about fitting lowering springs whilst retaining the original Subaru shocks? have a word with these chaps http://www.scoobyparts.com/suspension/eibach/eibach-pro-kit-lowering-springs-03-07-not-sti or Tein option http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=39_271&products_id=1476
