Scooby Pete

Too many time stealing games at the mo :( Got destiny on day one managed about 2.5 hours of play, also got a clash of clans game based on Star Wars that's another time stealer, also have Horizon on pre order. Too many games that need shed loads of time devoted to them. Just aswell I have no social life at the mo Joined Team Fear, no idea what it is or what it's for :)

It's Monthly Meet time again! As ever, it's at The Fairmile in Cobham. Sunday 14th September Full address for the pub is: The Fairmile Portsmouth Road Cobham Surrey KT11 1BW Kicks off from 13:00pm onwards! Eveyone with a Scoob is Welcome. Your welcome even if you don't have a Scoob, you just can't park on the grass :) As with the last couple of months, before adding your name to the list, please ensure that you read the following:Meet rules: 1. No idiotic driving on the roads surrounding the Fairmile 2. No damaging the Fairmile grass 3. No leaving litter/cans/pint glasses on the Fairmile grass 4. Do not partake in any other idiotic behaviour that gives Scoobies a bad name In addition we ask that only Japanese cars park on the grass please. Members are more than welcome to come down in non-Jap cars (or bring friends) but please, Japanese only parked on the grass (there is a second car park to the rear of the Fairmile if you don't want to park in the main area).

These are quite rare now not many about best bet would be Jap performance parts £175.

Bit pee'd off, got to the car and notice FNS tyre was flat. There's a dirty screw sticking out the tyre, £101 lighter now :(

Here's the thread Ash is on about..... http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/1619-help-check-guide-buying-1st-subaru/

Shop around. Give Keith Micheals a call as they specialise in performance cars.

try the bolt grips first. Honestly they are the best thing I have used for this job.

I'm still using my paper licence as I refuse to swap a perfectly legal document for their photo licence at my own cost. They should at least replace your licence free the first time and then sting you every ten years.

It's not been mentioned but another cause of wheel wobble is warped discs. I scuppered a brand new set of traox discs after a track day. They were very slightly wrapped and induced steering wheel shake. Good luck with the search for a leggy :)

As long as it has the Club options and sharing paints and decals I'm Happy.

Easy peasy...... All 5 nuts on my downpipe were corroded, rounded off and generally a pain to remove. Bit of WD40 on them then get a ring or open ended spanner on the back and a Bolt grip on the front. Will come off easy as pie.

Gambit posted this up awhile ago, knew I'd read it before.... http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/4297-private-cars-cannot-be-sold-with-road-tax-from-october-2014/?hl=discs#entry22553

Can't see why not, it would mean getting a complete new bumper with the cut outs for the exhaust. Not many hatchbacks on the breakers market so getting a bumper would mean big expense. Might be better investing the money in an STI from the beginning.

Have you run the car in 1st?

Welcome along there is a buying guide on here that maybe worth looking at.

Not normally required, however my fly wheel had hair line cracks in it when he took the Clutch plate off so it needed replacing. Bit of a trip but I would highly recommend Len at http://www.subaru4you.co.uk/ he did the clutch on my classic.

BTW he's pronouncing it correctly as that's how the Japanese say it :p

And here we go with the Red Spec C's point of view.

I've been using I drive for the last year and after reading this switched to S 2 days ago and have got a 2mpg improvement. I thought I mode was supposed to be the most economic??

nice easy fix :)

He didn't unveil himself. He's been a test driver for top gear for years. He has been asked and wouldn't deny it outright. Loads of bits on the net speculating it's him.

How long have you owned the car? If it's not long take it back ASAP. Has it recently been serviced, if it has I'd say some has not done the oil filter/sump plug back up properly. If it was serviced recently take it back to who ever did it. Otherwise take it to a garage or Subaru specialist ASAP and get them to have a look at it.

I took most of the badges of my car, only kept the STI, removed the Suabru & Impreza badges. At the end of the day it's your car :)
