Trackday Wheels
If you've got a 2nd set of rims great. If your considering road and track use I do some research. I've always considered them impractical for every day use as wet performance is always the biggest loss on these types of tyre. And wear would be a factor as they need to bet upto temp and are quite a soft compound. This site is a great source of info on tyres. They have most of the popular makes listed. http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Toyo/R888.htm

WRX STI power foreign vs Type UK
Also the JDM cars run the 2ltr engine where as US/UK ect are the 2.5ltr engine. The Jap cars run more power from the smaller engine as thats what their market wants. if you are serious I would look at getting an JDM spec car from Litchfield or another JDM suppiler.

New Scooby Owner
Nice looking car. If it were me I'd give it a full service ie a 50,000 mile one where all the diff/gearbox oils are done, plugs, fluids, cam belt ect. May cost a bit but would give peace of mind. Essex Subaru owners club meet up in Chelsmford. http://www.pistonheads.com/gAssing/topic.asp?h=0&t=1268873&mid=0&nmt=Essex+Subaru+Owners+Club+-Welcomes+you!

Impreza WRX STI 2004 vs 06 buying advice please!
I'm no expert but best advice is give them a test drive and see what you like best. There are subtle differences between versions and I don't know enough anorak stuff to tell you what's what. What I will say is, You will hear a lot about ringland failure on the 2.5's. Whilst in my opinion it's a fair amount of scaremongering there is some truth to it. Whilst this was an issue with a small percentage of cars it was down to people putting too much power into the standard engine, poor maintainence, bad mapping or ragging the nuts out of the car. If the car your looking is well maintained, well set up and hasn't had it by now then as long as you maintain it properly there's no reason it shouldn't carry on. If the engine has been rebuilt then as long as it was done properly again no issues. Although it would be wary of a rebuilt engine and would want a proper inspection before buying. Don't get blinded by the rally look stickers on cars, do the proper checks and if poss get a local Subaru specialist to do an inspection it rather the RAC/AA Being from Surrey you are lucky in that there lots of scoob specialist in the area. Dan at Surrey Subaru specialists is very good There is also TFS, GRD, Jolly Green Monster (one of the best mappers in the country) Proven Subaru (Dealer) just off the top of my head. I would recommend you join up at http://www.surreyscoobies.co.uk/forums/index.php It's my local club aswell and they are a great bunch of guys who are all local to Surrey. We meet every 2nd Sunday of the month at the Fairmile pub in Cobham. Your more than welcome to pop along Sccob or not.
