  1. I had a B&M short shift on my classic, that was just a rejigged gear stick with the points of attachment adjust to create a shorter throw. It wasn't the best option but it did make a difference. After a while it became sloppy and kept jumping out the gear lever receiver. On my 08 Hatch I went for the more comprehensive Kartboy shifter which included replacement bushes and give a much more positive action. Down side is that the urethane bushes have increased the amount of noise the gearbox transmits to the body. But then it sounds more like a straight cut rally box lol. I got my Kartboy from AS Performance http://asperformance.com. Give them a call as they are very good and always willing to give top notch advice. Here is a link to a thread I posted with a video of the short shift installed. http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/5625-kartboy-shortshift/?hl=%2Bkartboy+%2Bshort+%2Bshift
  2. Warped Discs. I had this on my Classic and after replacing the Discs everything was fine, they only have to be minutely warped for the brakes to judder.
  3. Nice write up, next I'd go for Morrettes and 'd get rid of the fog lights and swap for P1 fogs or get covers for them. But then I'm biased.
  4. So many guages to choose from. I've used Depo so would recommend those as a mid range brand. Don't cost the earth and do a wide range. This might solve all your problems. Depo Boost+ oil temp + oil pressure and volts. http://prolex-uk.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=469_530&products_id=1326
  5. The trader you linked to offers no quibble money back so I'd say go for it, if the fit is not good or you don't like the look after a trial fit then send it back.
  6. I would recommend http://www.bilthamber.com products great stuff good value.
  7. Thanks mate :) Depo gauges have multi light settings aswell, 8 diff colours, can change colour as you advance through the gauges range and they dim when you turn the lights on. Also a stepper system and they can be daisy chained if you go for multiple gauges.
  8. The Surrey meet is every 2nd Sunday of the month. The next one will be 11th of April. Not heard of any meets in the Herts area might be worth checking SIDC or Scabbynet :)
  9. Yeah had to loads of dremel work on it. It's not designed for the later model dashboards but it's still the best option for a single guague.Looking at yours it needs to come forward and sit tight up against the pillar. In my classic I filled the back half of the pod with expanding foam trimmed it down and then used bathroom silicone sealant to stick it in place. If you take it off the sealant can be cleaned off really easily. I've done this with this install as well but I didn't do a great job and it's come loose and is only being held in place by the wires. Doesn't rattle so haven't botherd the take the trim off to fix it.
  10. Depo Boost Gauge in pod. OBD reader displayed on Sat Nav via iphone.
  11. Wonder how many cops monitor the feed? Surrey scoobs has a cple of coppers who are members lol
  12. Well it will come I handy if there a dash to the hospital :D Welcome to the club and congrats on both new arrivals.
  13. As far as I'm aware washers only work when the lights are on.
  14. Gambit I posted yours today, look for an envelope from Sky
  15. they are amazing models 100's of times better than the old Burago models I had as a kid.
  16. Sorry Gambit, forgot about this. PM you addy and I'll post it out. You can get me a burger at Japfest and we'll call it square or Colin which ever you prefer.
  17. Looks good, btw this thread made me look for the Diecast scoob I just bought coz of Autoart in the title
  18. Nice! Very rare to find unmolested P1's these days. Nice that you kept the original parts, for me special editions should be kept stock, worth more £££'s in the long run.
  19. £70-200+ for the Autoart 22b on eBay. I've had mine for about 11 years, bought it at Brands Hatch for about £48 brand new :D
  20. Looks good as new :) Mastic them, just a bead around the edge and wipe any excess off that will do the job!
  21. I'm going to leave it as is. Still have my stock wheels in the garage so it will match when I swap the, back :) Ebay. Rare as rocking horse poo though 1st one I've seen in ages.You can still get the Nurberg Ring Test car version. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/J-COLLECTION-JC220-SUBARU-IMPREZA-WRX-STI-2008-NURBURGRIN-TEST-CAR-1-43-DIE-CAST-/311195483184?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4874b23c30 There are some rally version about aswell. Really wanted an Autoart 1:18 to go with my 22b and 2003 rally de Corse.
