I like the idea of the top mounted oil cooler - that way the scoop is now functional - not just for looks :)

Winter Tyres - yes or no?
You can set yourself up for - compared to your exiting setup - a lot less, it will save your alloys and as they are a lot thinner give you more grip. East Yorks does get a fair bit of bad weather so its probably down to your own opinion if you feel they are warranted in this country What you have at the moment is great anyway its just adding to it. I was considering some steel winter wheels with associated tyres, I was then going to paint them bright green or orange just for kicks :)

UK v5 Wagon
There are a few sites out there where it appears some members sit like vultures waiting to pounce - which is a shame, if someone suggests putting sand in with the petrol to port the head whilst driving I know we have hit a real low :)

New air filter
it will be breathing easier so now you could look at the exhaust ;) but be careful it is a slippery slope, multiple maps and nitros are only an overdraft away :D

Brake advice on an sti please
Does sound like you already have the big stoppers on there 4's up front and 2's on the rear, possibly even cast alloy components that the STI comes with over the WRX. Check the size of the discs themselves as you may be straight into big disc kits from AP/ Alcon and K Sport?

Guess The Movie Quiz
ok so the character in this movie made me laugh partly because I remember looking at myself in a mirror during a waterlogged journey on an RD350 with no fairing from Scotland to Midlands and seeing the same bloodshot wide eye stare as this chap has and because he just doesnt give up :D

Hi from Sth Oxon
Wotcha and welcome John - there are a couple of members who have taken the same route as yourself - Landies to Subarus so you are not alone in that decision :)

a few pics of my project so far
knowing what you have concealed that is certainly a stealthy machine, wrt scoops as soon as a FMIC is fitted I like a heat release / air flow option so louvres or mesh covered opening - but it does detract from a stealth approach as people start asking questions

Saggy Rear End
Pedders that was the name - well done that man!!
-
Roof Rails
There is a thread on this somewhere... As I remember the answer is yes you can buy them but as it requires you pulling your headlining off to fit them the dealers were saying it was an original fit option only. The price in the UK for the items though was the thick end of £1000 We found a US site that sells them for significantly less so even with import tax it would still be a cheaper option Think it was this site... http://estore.subarupartswarehouse.com/parts/2009/SUBARU/Forester/X?siteid=217823&vehicleid=204823&diagram=7603316
