Hi guys, My wheels look terrible. Now I'm settled in with the car I'm looking to start rescuing it from year of mistreatment. Can these wheels be saved or am I better off ditching them and starting again. I've never seen this kind of damage before. Cheers.

Well I'm no longer just looking for a code reader, I need one lol. Eml came on tonight. Can anyone add further advice on these points? Ive tried looking for free SSM2 but every link I try is a dead end. Any suggestions where I can find a copy? Would ELM327 work? I've seen a few of these on eBay but don't want to pick up the wrong one. Again, thanks for the help guys.

A 96 328 coupe with 183k on it won't get me many scooby bits sadly lol. The handling is a little better with balanced tyre pressures now. I'll look at new wheels and tyres in a couple of months. Currently my time is spent lusting after Hayward and Scott cat back exhausts hehe. I need more burble!

Thanks guys, Checked my tyre pressures today, nsr 16psi osr 42.5psi. You'd imagine buying a car just serviced from a dealer would have at least checked the tyres lol. I think I'll finish off the tread on the ditchfinders (seriously who puts budget tyres on a wrx?) pick a new set of boots and get it aligned properly. I've only just fitted coilovers tyres and aligned my 328 I don't think I can afford to do that lot again for a few months lol

Hi guys, I was enjoying a spirited drive last night and at a certain, fairly high speed the steering gets incredibly light making the car shimmy as it goes over bumps etc to the point I backed off. I'm new to Subaru and still feeling my way into its handling. Is this a fairly normal thing for a standard WRX blob to feel so light? Would upgraded suspension help to just adjust the ride heights to put more weight over the front? Any help or experiences appreciated, thanks.

If I've not killed the car by then I fancy having a trip up to see what's what and get some ideas.

Spot on, thanks for the advice

Hi guys, I'm into my first week and loving my blobeye WRX so far. Just wondering which is the preferred code reader for these? I've got an old vagcom from my VW days but I've no idea what works best for Subaru. Also, I've seen a touchscreen to replace the stereo which took a feed from a Bluetooth plug on the obd so things like oil, boost, coolant etc could be shown. I'm not sure it was on an Impreza though. Have any of you guys heard of this and know where to look? Thanks.

Personally I love the de-badged look, it's neater in my opinion. I'm not usually too fussed what someone else thinks my car is or isn't. I once got told my 328I sport was just a 318 coupe. His Volvo headlights got a nice view of me driving away :)

36 and finally got mine this week after years of looking on and off.
