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?

Hi RayVon, Welcome to the club! I just joined too. Am planning to join them on their Kent meet this Saturday - let me know if you go so I won't be the only newbie!

Thanks for the friendly welcome guys. I will try to come along to the meet on Saturday - I went to a few car meets when I was younger but never really knew how they worked, people always seemed to be in groups and I felt a bit of a wally on my own! Located near Shoreditch in East London, but I'm from Orpington in Kent so I know the 'Bluewater run' very well. I'm not a gorilla no! I've been told I'm a lovely chap, but I can't remember who it was that said so.

Hi all, I've had my 2005 Blob-eye Impreza WRX for about 5 years, and it's been the best car I've ever owned. The car has been in the family for a long time as I actually bought it from my Dad, so it's like a member of the family. However, I've not ventured into the forums or owners clubs in that time. After years of blissful motoring I'm finally starting to find a few niggles with the car, so thought now is the time to start seeking the advice of fellow Impreza owners and Subaru enthusiasts. I'm up for joining in with meets too - so will keep an eye out for anything happening in South-East London or in Kent. Cheers Sparrowhawk
