Opinions and recommendations on tinting rear windows.
I just love the way it looks just the rear windows tinted (JDM bro) 😉 If you can try before you buy that's great I really hate doing jobs twice because I'm unhappy how it's looks

Opinions and recommendations on tinting rear windows.
Mine came with limo tint in the rear three windows it's handy because none can see in the boot I can still see out well also. But I would say go for what you think looks best 😊 Im used to driving pick ups and you just learn where the back is I mean why do they call the bumpers. 😂

Brakes
Yeah but on the other hand I don't mind because the price is good I just get another set throw the old ones in the bin. I used to have blueprint ones they just try and catch fire (smoke bellowing out the arches). I like to change brake pads often so nothing gets a chance to rust up and keeps them wearing level and discs don't get damaged as much. brake pads go hard once they've seen too many heat cycles then they eat your discs

Think I paid 70 but there's loads of options if you want pads aswell (mtec discs and can come with mintex pads)

Best cleaning products
1200 then 2000 grit wet and dry use wet until completely smooth clean them then spray clear coat and finally polish with cutting compound then wax or alternatively just use G3 and a electric buffer. 1st one is for showroom condition 2nd is quick and easy.

Brakes
I opted for the cheep option after I cracked a set of old ebc discs (got too thin) and bought myself some mtec drilled and grooved ones from eBay. Had them six months and I have to say they are great I drive very fast often braking from well over 100mph. I do chew a lot of pads up quickly though 😅. Also I used racing fluids

Roger Clark Motorsport 860hp Subaru Impreza at FOS
Your right it sounds great I was standing just after the flint wall and ask the marshal if I could get closer he said no but we had a good chat about the car after it flu bye . I always embarrass my girlfriend by asking random people things I shouldn't but some times it pays off 😊

Mirror problems
So on my car (94 turbo wagon) I have folding electric wing mirrors with ied indicators. The problem is on is smashed. It's been like that since I bought the car and I can't find a replacement. Any ideas? Anyone seen these before?

pulling right on acceleration
And it's more likely a problem with the rear as that's where the power goes.

pulling right on acceleration
Wheel bearings all good?

Judder / Vibration
Could also be a the gearbox bearings themselves if you're particularly unlucky.

pulling right on acceleration
Have the rear wheels taken a knock? That would mess the thurst angle up. Could be a few things I.e. Collapsed bushes or suspension, brakes, anything drive line related really.

Chip, remap Legacy 2.0i - possible?
Louder is faster ;) on a serious not that whole back pressure on n/a is good for torque thing is only true in the lower revs like below 2k. I think engine masters on YouTube did an in depth dyno test on it. And generally removing a cat frees up about 10-15 Bhp on a 1.6 well at least it did on my old type r engine rover (highly modified straight piped)

You could Take the cat out that's good for a few ponies other then that it starts to get expensive (turbo/supercharger) . Or paint the brake calipers red? 😉

I find silver cars hard to choose colours for I went with a light gold but really like the bronze that comes on some rays wheels

oil pressure light
Oil preasure switches are only £10 chuck one in. My friends civic type r did the same thing just flickers. So I put a new one in and a new pcv (coming Honda problem) and all was sorted 😊 Hope it's the switch
