Scooby Pete

Vredstein setanza's great grip levels and not much road noise. Check out http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk for unbiased user reviews rather than car mags.

Got some Padig rear break pads from eurocarparts for under £25. No point paying £60+ for EBC's on the back.

Scoobs are well know for clutch Judder when cold, nothing to worry about unless it gets really bad.

Go to a Subaru Specialist local to you. will get a much better quality of service than from a Kwick fit ATS place. It's about an hours trek for you but I would highly recommend Dan at Surrey Subaru Specialists in Camberly. http://www.surreysubaruspecialists.com/contact-us/ Dan Knows his stuff and is a top bloke and dos loads of work for the Surrey Scoobies Club. May even be able to get Simon From JGM down at the same time to do the remap.

JGM.. Simon @ Jolly Green Monster is your best bet. http://www.jollygreenmonster.com/ Tel 07912 872581

Just Give Simon (Jolly Green Monster) a call he will sort you out and he is one of the best around.

If this link doesn't help. http://www.tech-faq.com/how-to-reset-a-kenwood-security-code.html May have to go to a local authorised Kenwood service agent rather than a Subaru dealer. Look on here with the drop down menus and it list 2 places in Norfolk 1 in Great Yarmouth and one in Norwich. http://www.kenwood-electronics.co.uk/where_to_buy/ I had to do it with my pioneer and ended up at a car radio shop that looked like it was still in the 70's, it was an old fella and he plugged in an SD card and it was unlocked in seconds.

alternatively check with Subaru Breakers they'll have loads of bits

The 525ish is usually for a licence and remap. If the car has been mapped in the past then it's from £150 upwards depending on what you want, ie launch control, anti lag ect.

Great write up as ever Salsa.

Drove the '14 STI at our local meet. Shelley Motors brought down their demonstrator and I have to say I was impressed with the car. The chassis feels really positive and give a feeling of confidence. You can deff tell they have done development on it. Inside is really smart has keyless start as standard, half leather seats and all the toys. I would deff consider one in a year or so when the 2nd hand market has some good examples.

No photos unfortunately. One of the dealers brought their 2014 STI demo car down. So I got to drive the new '14 STI and have to say I was well impressed. You can deff feel the chassis is more positive and has had developlement on it. Inside the car is very good, look well built and futuristic. Only minus point for me was that it could do with a PPP option as it deff felt slower than my own 08.

It's every 2nd Sunday of the month.

I had the heat shield around the front manifold go. Gave it to a mate who welded it back together for me. If it's really bad you can get them from most breakers.

Looks like a Police armed response car with the blacked out windows :) welcome along.

I reckon you should paint the horn grills to match the body work :)

Wind defielctors will have 2 metal tabs holding them into the door frame and some dble sided tape at the edges. Just give them a pull from the middle and they should pop out.

piut the back seats down so I could get me new Bike in the back. Scoob will spend some time on the drive, need to get fit so cycling to work. Also will give me a chance t take the wing mirrors off and send them for Dipping.

The drain on the system in negligible when off. When it's switched on it draws the power from the engine. When the car is idling switch it on watch your revs, they will increase to compensate for the extra load the air on adds.

I had a classic that had P1 splitter, Sti spoiler, 22b bonnet vents and I de badged the whole car apart from the front grill. As gambit said it's your motor so go with what ever floats your boat. Personally I don't like cars that have the Sti/Gti/turbo/RS badges when they aren't.

Bought the DashCmd app as its compatible with my Pioneer head unit. So I can get it on the screen rather than looking at the phone, and all the functions work on the touch screen :) only downside is I cant connect with my new Iphone 5 as i have to by a new adapter :(

Nice one, I need to get a new iPhone connection kit for my head unit first. I've just got an iphone 5 and that's not compatible with my head unit typical of both Pioneer not to future proof stuff and apple to change connections. Can't just connect to it via the USB like you could with the 4.

I do park quite far away from the kerb these days, with the classic there was the odd occasion where parking spaces were tight and it took a fair bit of monauevering to get in a space 12 inches bigger than car. That's the problem living where I do parking is a real nightmare sometimes. Had a look at the website for yours and I may look at an ebay alternative as funds are a bit tight at the mo.

Do you find that you have to be careful parking? I haven't fitted any to the hatch as I kept ripping my rear bumper off the classic when the flaps got trapped between tyre and kerb.
