  1. two of these arrived today.. just over £16 each.. sister's car and the wife's will have these fitted.

    32gb memory card Class10 arrived too.. £6

     

    I ordered the same camera but with a rear one as well.. £44 :(

     

     

    Can you only go into menu when it's plugged into the car's 12v power.. and now when the USB is plugged in on the lap top?

  2. I've imported the RED STi push button start from Japanparts.com (extra cost was the usual Import Duty + Post Office Handling Fee)

     

    It's a straight swap over to the Black Start Button that comes on the STi 330s Hatch and 2011- cars (Keyless entry)

     

    Dead easy to do....

    Pop out that area of trim, I used a plastic squeegee (that you use to apply vinyl stickers etc) down the side to pop it out.

    unplug the connector at the bottom to give you a bit of room to handle the trim.

    Ease out the Black push button out by releasing the side clips and the connector plug (also has a fixing clip that will need to be undone)

    take it all out

    Pop the new one in and push it all the way so it clips back in place

    Connect the plug up and the back to it and the bottom white plug that works the electric mirrors. the STi logo will now light up.

    Carefully push the trim back in place

    Put your foot on the clutch and see the the GREEN start light lite up :)

    You can now start your engine.

     

     

     

     

     

    So that's it. I've modded my car... with another bit of expensive plastic :lol: all show and no go for the Garage Racer. I do think it weighs less than the black on though.

  3. Thanks, it took a while to develop the nice burble but now it's run in it does sound nice and turns heads as you cruise along! You're right about the power upgrades, they all seem to be in the US - amazing as the fuel they use is 87-93 octane!

    Hopefully more options will come up in the UK this year as the car becomes more popular.

    It's definitely not short of power but with 40 extra BHP it will be a real super car beater in the wet and on twisty roads. I followed a C63 AMG on a wet twisty A24 the other day and he couldn't pull away even on the straights despite an extra 180 BHP.

    rubbish driver then :lol:

  4. the centre pipe one may be the resonator... what gives it the sound.

     

     

    is it an offical subaru dealer option then?

     

    a Perrin air filter won't be a dealer option (check warranty?)

     

     

    if you go decat/sports car.. it wouldn't have thought Subaru would allow that either, so interesting to know how the warranty is effected with that too..

     

    btw.. scoobyclinic link

  5. V-Power or Tesco Momentum is what you should use....... at an emergency use super unleaded if you can;t get the other stuff.

     

    btw.. welocme

  6. Foglight Wankers........good description!

    Normal fog light bulbs aren`t designed to be used all the time that`s why you see so many FLWs with a bulb out. Serves them right.

    It`s also supposed to be an offence to have them on all the time, I actually got stopped by the rozzers who told me this.

    I had them on by mistake! :D

    I got stopped midnight Christmas 15yrs ago as of next week. In my classic. No other car on the road other than me and the **** copper.

    Couldn't do me for speeding as he was too far behind to know my speed. When he did catch me I was doing 30 in a 30zone after coming off a national speed limit road that was 60.

    Couldn't do me for drinking as I'm t total.

    But did me for fog lights. No points but a fine!

    Now it seems everyone with a car pre 2011 uses their fog lights as DRLs.

    Only my11 cars have factory fitted DRLs
