dunno - never looked at it that way before B)

No idea - the Dunlops and Pirelli's get a B but I have no experience in the wet / slippery conditions with those brands Dunlop is quieter and better on fuel economy according to those ratings - http://www.blackcircles.com/catalogue/dunlop/sp-winter-response-2-%28winter-tyre%29/195/60/R15/T/88/m?returnurl=%2forder%2ftyres%3f%26width%3d195%26profile%3d60%26rim%3d15%26speed%3dAny%26wintertyre%3d1%26minpricerange%3d0%26maxpricerange%3d0%26displayall%3d999&tyre=32383209 http://www.blackcircles.com/catalogue/pirelli/winter-190-snowcontrol-serie-ii-%28winter-tyre%29/195/60/R15/T/88/m?returnurl=%2forder%2ftyres%3f%26width%3d195%26profile%3d60%26rim%3d15%26speed%3dAny%26wintertyre%3d1%26minpricerange%3d0%26maxpricerange%3d0%26displayall%3d999&tyre=26372354

Way to go!!

I run michelin agilis 51's on my van and they are awesome in the winter and slippery conditions powering through the snow no problem at all in the size you want michelin do the alpin A4 which is what I would go for http://www.blackcircles.com/catalogue/michelin/alpin-a4/195/60/R15/T/88/m?returnurl=%2forder%2ftyres%3f%26width%3d195%26profile%3d60%26rim%3d15%26speed%3dAny%26wintertyre%3d1%26minpricerange%3d0%26maxpricerange%3d0%26displayall%3d6&tyre=27211618 or for a little more save you alloys http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15-Subaru-Impreza-2-0i-GX-01-01-09-07-steel-wheels-and-winter-tyres-set-4-/150903717185

nightmare - a cost you could have well done without then :(

do you mean more grip as in a more winter / commercial tyre style or more grip as in sticky when warm performance rubber?

best to change as a pair if over 15k miles as they do wear

pretty sure it stays in high for normal use - what you should find if you put it in low is the same as mountain bike in low gear lots of revs but very low speed

Wotcha and welcome - yup there are few choices you could go for dependant on how confident you feel with some spanners

thought it was always high unless you are in slippery conditions.

awesome - am currently recording new fifth gear but will also make a note of this one :)

Looking forward to seeing the photo's - hint hint ;)

hopefully someone can help you out!

Wotcha and welcome - if you do decide to drop the tank - any chance of taking a few photos?

Wotcha and welcome Josh

Wotcha and welcome

yup looking forward to seeing the before and after shots ;)

just goes to show - do the research and a bit of planning great results are there to be had at realistic money

better to be safe than sorry ;)

make sure you have got stacks of 98Ron in the tubes :D

wotcha and welcome - I would use cable ties myself - ask the supplier see what they say, it must have come up before

put it on you tube then post the link ;)

That looks like the catalytic converter section similar to this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Impreza-GF-Estate-585mm-Long-BM-Catalysts-Catalytic-Converter-Exhaust-/330820795698?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Cars+Year%3A1998|Car+Make%3ASubaru|Model%3AImpreza&hash=item4d0674bd32

as above plus ensure car is on level surface as it can offset the level some recommendations from Opie oils - S.O.C. members also get a discount http://www.opieoils.co.uk/product-finder/car/engine-oil/subaru/product-finder-2.aspx

doh!!!!
