  1. Been a couple of times now. It is incredibly fun and incredibly scary all at the same time. I was constantly worrying about crashing or blowing the engine up because it is a long way to walk home!!
  2. Go for orange! I love my orange wheels. :D
  3. This still has the factory standard HID's in too.
  4. Thats very clean. I think the wagon shape looks odd without any rear spoilers.
  5. Welcome to the Forum. Get some pictures up. ;)
  6. Welcome to the forum, sorry i've not had any experience with a Subaru diesel yet.
  7. If you heat wrap it I would recommend some titanium heat wrap. It is more expensive, but the cheaper stuff goes brittle and flakes off after a while.
  8. Yay!!! Nurburgring!!! :D oh yeah and well done getting it through the MOT.
  9. Mechanically all it does is counter the affect of the flexing bulkhead. So when pressing the brake pedal, the point at which the pedal stops and you are fully on the brakes is higher up. (if that makes sense). It gives a better feel but doesn't reduce the stopping distance.
  10. I've Just found a picture of mine after painting and fitting. It is the Tegiwa item but the bright blue would have looked a bit out of place in my engine bay so I painted it matt black before fitting. It's also a bit of pain to fit in the twin turbo's due to the solenoid box you can see on the left. I had to cut away some of the case and file it to the profile of the brake stopper to give a neat finish.
  11. This was one of the first mods I did to improve the brakes on my Legacy. It made a noticeable difference to the feel on the brake pedal, however, it didn't make any difference to the braking ability. The braided lines again made a small difference to the feel of the brakes. But the biggest difference was when I changed the brake servo and master cylinder. I bought these from a Hawkeye Impreza STI. This almost completely removed the spongy feel on the pedal and really increases confidence in the braking ability.
  12. Welcome, Get some pics up. You won't be disappointed with a Legacy, absolutely fantastic car! But then I am slightly biased!
