  1. Wotcha and welcome - got any photos you would like to share?? :)
  2. price per service varies dependant on the mileage oil and filter versus full cambelt change - there have been some issues with the STI sharkeye experiencing ringland failure due to constant high revs and potentially not using higher ron fuel - a remap, not done by a subaru dealer as allegedly their maps don't solve the issue either, will protect against that (£300 - £400) also going through top mounts (not a huge expense) so from my experience there were no issues and I really enjoyed the motor. dont buy this car with one eye on your wallet - the mpg is between 21 mpg normal driving around town and 35 on a run. services are between 150 to 500 approx as different places will vary do buy this car for a full on driving experience you will annoy porsche drivers - it put a smile on my face every time I was behind the wheel Pete will hopefully be along shortly with an opinion also :)
  3. Thats a good start - check a piece at a time
  4. yup you are going to have to re acclimatise a bit
  5. Wotcha and welcome - that will have used the original spoiler mounting points
  6. You could put some STI or standard WRX brakes on then sell the Pro R calipers on to recoup some of the cost.
  7. Wotcha and welcome - do you need new discs and pads? if not put some money aside for when you do. As Gambit said its a nice upgrade to have
  8. what Stanton described can be an issue - the top ones you can crack the nut whilst it is still on the car - don't know about the rears on an outback
  9. change the springs, you will need a set of compressors and the right spanner - the compressors vary in cost I have used these type for many years but they can be a bit fiddly http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2PC-12-COIL-SPRING-COMPRESSOR-CLAMPS-HEAVY-DUTY-/310895021158?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item4862c98c66 these might be a better design http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2pc-Coil-Spring-Compressor-Suspension-Clamps-Kit-Set-Tool-Clamps-Struts-Springs-/321360530142?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item4ad2948ade
  10. you're right, I passed 40 a few years back but in my head Im about 28ish going on 10 :D
  11. Wotcha and welcome - great to have you onboard keep us posted as to when you pick your motor up :)
  12. keep it clean then you can see if any maintenance needs doing from something that may have happened when you were getting it dirty ;)
  13. great tune - really got to get one of those suits - that or a full Boba Fett but watching it threw up this clip - now of course I have nothing to compare it to - ahem cough cough B) but this girl has some moves http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9FS1bxaGTg
  14. pros and cons to both have you had a turbo before if so you may find the sport a little slow but they still handle well
  15. Hey if your mom gets a scooby dont forget to point her in our direction :)
  16. yup not a bad lad at all :)
  17. hopefully busy up to his elbows in engines
  18. I prefer this cover version of radioactive, gives it a bit more oomph - goes well with this footage or track on its own
  19. so thats where all the Govt money for UK broadband infrastructure upgrades has gone
  20. Wotcha and welcome - keep us updated on the progress ;)
  21. Dr Frankenfurter in da house :D
