Nice one mate. I'm definitely planning to make it too, so will book through here when I've confirmed. -
I go to Brands Hatch for the BTCC every year. Really looking forward to seeing the Subaru's race for the first time this season. Is anyone on here planning a meet at Brands?? I've heard of people planning to meet up and park over on the south bank..

A couple of pics from KSOC August meet. Seven of us this month. Nice to see you lot
-
I'll be there on Saturday 1st. Sounds like Matt will be along too.

Nice to see everyone at the weekend - I managed to rattle off a couple of photos. There was also a great turnout of Scoobies at Bromley Pageant on Sunday, let's make that the June meet next summer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What sort of numbers are we looking at for tomorrow then?
-
I'll be there. Who's meeting at Plumstead? I might join that convoy
-
20+ Subaru's on a beach in Kent = Good fun all round!
-
I'm just reading back over these posts, and it's helped me figure out who is who! @Rodregos, cheers for letting us know about the meet on Sunday. It was quality. Where can I see / post some pictures of the day?
-
Hello mate welcome. Good choice putting original bonnet back on.

What is the @name of the instagram page Gambit ??

Thanks, very helpful. It seems like a job worth doing. I can imagine its unpleasant - but it's got to be worth it, especially if I still have the car in another 10 years. Will post before & after pics if I get it done this summer.
-
What are the pro's and con's of treating the underside of the car? My Impreza has just turned 10 years old. Would people recommend under-sealing to protect it from future issues?? It's a 2005 UK car, and has never been wax-oiled in the many years I have owned it. There are absolutely no signs of rust, and I'd like to keep it that way!

Thanks Pete. Camberly isn't too far - I'll give Surrey Subaru a call for a quote too. Best quote I have had so far is from Scooby Clinic, they were reasonably priced and got back to me right away. But they're up in Chesterfield and I don't know when I'm next up that way.
-
Thanks Kev. I've found that in London every quote goes over 500. But if I I'm willing to travel a bit, I should get at least a little change out of a monkey. I'll ask FB Tuning for a quote. Cheers
-
Ah yes, Scooby Clinic is a bit cheaper. Thanks Hopefully someone else will come up with a Subaru Specialist to give me a quote for fitting. Scoobyghost has already kindly got me a quote from his mechanic.
-
Thanks Stants, Exedy seems to be the only brand name that anyone recommends. It's staying standard, I'm not intending to modify the car at all. So the blue box should be fine. Do you have a recommendation for the cheapest place to buy it - or any club discounts etc that might apply? Eurocarparts shows £260 +vat

Hi all, I've got a 2005 Blob Eye WRX. It's standard, apart from Prodrive kit (fitted from new). The clutch has started to slip slightly, so will need doing very soon. I had a quote of over £1000 from Jem Subaru so will obviously not be getting it done there. I'm located in East London / Kent. I'm looking for either: 1.) A Subaru Specialist garage to provide and fit a clutch at a reasonable cost or 2.) Suitable clutch kit to purchase myself AND a Subaru Specialist to fit it for me at a reasonable labour cost All suggestions welcome - although I will definitely not be carrying out the work myself. Plus any advice on other details surrounding getting a clutch changed. Thanks!
-
Gambit, I might be interested in your spacers if you're getting rid. Would they fit an 05 Blob? My cars not lowered so I think they would be fine.

Back at work today and still got a smile on my face from the meet on Saturday. My first meet, so thanks for the warm welcome guys - can't wait for the next one. Great pics Matt B)

I'm a huge BTCC fan - always make sure I get to a few meets each season. Was at the Brands Hatch opener, and will definitely be heading up to Rockingham again this year as that was a great meeting last season (the sunshine helped). I follow the small independent team Houseman Racing. Lea Wood has been their driver for the past few seasons, but this season they've changed drivers and so I'll be rooting for Stewart Lines. He's new to BTCC but has had good success in other formulas including winning the Volkswagen Cup. Lea Wood used to run a Vauxhall Vectra S2000, but they recently upgraded to the NGTC Toyota Avensis. Looking forward to Thruxton in a weeks time.

Every day I go past a blue blob eye Impreza WRX on Battersea Park Road (A3205), right by Battersea Power Station. It's exactly the same as mine. Is this a club member?
