  1. So if if one shock was on way out it could make such a huge difference? The garage reconned it wouldn't cause much of an issue!
  2. Been having problems for the last few weeks regarding really harsh ride quality, basically I can feel ever bump in the road and ride feels extremely 'bouncy'. Had the car checked over by a local specialist who have checked all the shocks, springs, suspension components etc, and the've done four wheel laser aligment, tracking etc. and the only issue they found was a knocking noise coming from the N/S/R shock. Will need replacing at some point they said but not urgently. Surly this wouldn't causing the terrible ride quality to this extreme would it? Any other ideas please guys?
  3. Had the belts done at the service :/
  4. Just seen this post so I'm posting :D
  5. Getting a screeching noise when reversing. Had new discs and pads on the rear so its not them. Had the car serviced recently and said the front discs and pads were fine. Any ideas?
  6. Cool cheers. Damn just added water and put more than i realised. Its about an inch and a half above the the max mark! Will it be ok still?
  7. Had a new radiator fitted last week as mine had a crack in it. Had new coolant at the same time but must still have a leak somewhere (or the garage didnt put enough coolant back in) as im just setting off on a little journey but when checking fluid levels the coolant is below the min mark! Is it ok to just add a bit of water to it for the time being? Just havnt really got time to call anywhere to get some, plus i know your not meant to mix coolants. Quick response appreciated guys :)
  8. Got an original Impreza stereo for sale in very good condition and perfect working order. Not sure how much their worth so open to sensible offers.
  9. My WRX came with aftermarket 18" wheels fitted and was wondering what tyre pessures i should be using? Or what pressures any of you guys with 18s are using/would recommend?
  10. Gambit, got any pictures of it fitted and does it give a good induction sound? I can get a 57i Kit pretty cheap from my local parts specialist although they only really help for extra noise lol
  11. My WRX has standard intake atm, but a few people have told me to do away with the original airbox and opt for a cone filter/induction kit with heat shield. Anyone else running aftermarket filters and would you recommend them? My previous car was an astra VXR and you couldn't hear the turbo on that much, but when I fitted a pipercross open cone it sounded incredible! Could really hear the turbo spooling up and dumping!
  12. Thanks. A few touch ups need doing here and there which should get sorted out within the next few weeks. But compared to most I've seen of the same age/type it's in pretty good nic :)
  13. Mine already has a Baileys one fitted (exactly the same as the top middle of the pic originally posted), and tbf it sounds really good, not stupidly loud unless you obviously give it some beans ha ha. Although I might go on Youtube and have a listen to the HKS one everyone seems to be raving about :)
  14. Finally got round to getting some pics put up of my WRX...
  15. Need new discs and pads all round. What do people recommend. Go for standard parts or any recommended upgrades? Also best places (will cheapest) to get them from?
