What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Finally fitted replacement pitch stop The rubber was knackered in the old one and sti one is about 3mm shorter so a tiny bit of pressure on the intake moved the bolt into alignment.

Winter tyres
The nokian d3 came 2nd in the auto express winter test I'd be inclined to go with the nokian ons you've selected there mate. I was gonna get them but the misses has put the stops on getting another set and work is getting in the way of picking up the other rims so it looks like I'm going to have to scrap tge winter tyre idea and get some all season ones

2003 forester xt exhaust
What kind of budget have you got ? Can buy haywood and scott systems off the shelf or contact your local powerflow franchise the can make you a bespoke system, theres also cobra sport in sheffield that do the same, not sure if tge 2003 xt is the same as the older version but sometimes they share parts with impreza's of the same year so you could look at gettting one and making it fit, the back box will need some modifications as the hangers are different

Least it's a relatively cheap fix and not something horrendous. [emoji2] My y pipe isn't gonna be here for another week at least so rebating weather to change my pitch stop anyway cos I'll be bored over the weekend

Hello, long time admirer of Scoobs,
I had a cobra one made with twin resonators in the centre. Static db is about 96. Sounds nice and above 2.5k it really gets going not to droney on motorways either Theres always powerflow and somone else who will make them up for you. Heywood & scott also but pricy

Steering wheel rubber help
The bigger the better ! I use them all over, spare tyre well under the front seats just to get rid of any moisture thats crept in. The cars garaged in work and at home but some manages to find it way in through the window rubbers and what not

Steering wheel rubber help
Yes think places like b&q do or storage and removal companies sell them. Or maybe get a big bag off amzon [emoji2]

Maybe get some pckets of silica gell in car. Is it kept outside ?

Steering wheel rubber help
Don't clean it. Mines showing slight wear on it and used a dash wipe now some bits are going funny. Maybe treat it with something to feed the leather.

Hello, and looking to buy my first Subaru :)
Says low mileage on the ad but showing 105k is that in kms or milles ? The seat at the steering wheel look well worn and maybe not keeping with what the odometer says. Or it's been sat with the window up for a while and the atmosphere has started to eat at it If I remember the z4 ecu is from a later model so may not be correct. With classics you need a stand alone ecu apexi or mines etc. Or a daughter board grafted onto yours form a company called esl which is around 550-600 inclusive of mapping. The rear bumper has been changed for a uk spec one at some stage as the number plate finisher is larger. Only thing you can do is take someone who knows imprezas along with you to view it. But I think for 2.5k you could find a nicer example.

It's only a coloured bulb I have a spare green one have the part number lying around somewhere if you want to change it. Or it may just be a Little condom over the bulb you can remove to give you a white ring. Hehe

Is it worth welding
Waxoil it to death while you've cleaned and prepped it all and have easy access. Every little helps as they say

Alloys from other Subarus on the forester
Just be careful of offset on rears as some rub on the struts. What size are you thinking of going up to ?

Radar detectors - Does anybody still use them?
I had co pilot on a windows phone a while back, think its one of the best app/navs available. Much more accurate than tom tom [emoji51]

timing belt or chain ?
Around 350-400 quid from a specialist or double that from a dealer [emoji33] I'd say the 35 mile trip is well worth it to visit martin & dave down in sheff. It's just round the corner from the arena and medowhall, easy to get to. If you don't want to travel that for theres richard Henry in bradford but no idea of the prices and I went once and they didn't seem that interested

Radar detectors - Does anybody still use them?
Had the snooper radar/ laser unit. Used to tell you locations of static traps even if they'd been removed as it seemed however many times you updated it it was never that up to date. Never alerted me to and vans which it was supposed to. So was a bit crap in the end. Cost around 200 quid. In its defence it was 10 years ago. If Your after a stand alone road angel used to be the best

Rip jgm
[emoji20] sad news indeed I had heard he was scaling back operations due to ill health but didn't know the full extent, never had the chance to meet him but speking on the phone and answering all my daft questions came across as a thoroughly nice bloke.
