Doing well thanks mate. Still haven't driven mine for over a month now and I'm missing it. Took the opportunity to do all the brakes and strip and clean each corner out. Just ordered quite a few bits again. Hopefully my caliper comes back from the bleed nipple repair today along with my PF pads and Motul fluid so I can get the new godspeed discs on all round and get it back on the floor. Have refurbished all 4 calipers and changed the colour too. Should really update my thread.
Howz Jack getting on with the Subaru?

You're getting as bad as me, mine came out nearly six weeks ago for about 3 days then went back in the garage!

Yep, done braided hoses, brake stopper and full clean and tidy under each arch ready for the bits to arrive this week. I had one bleed nipple that had been snapped by the previous owner and I tried drilling and stud extracting with no luck, blow torch and extractor and welding a nut to it also with no luck. So gave up and sent it to Alyn at AS Performance to get out for me. Finally getting it all back today. With quite a few other bits too
Has been really nice to get back under a car and get stuck in again. My 6 year old wanted to help me bless him.Is your place still open or are you Furloughed too?

We have been closed for the last month and furloughed but opened yesterday on skeleton staff so only me and one other tech in at the moment.
who knows when the rest will come back 🤷♂️

19 years old I was running round in a 1.0 eco boost 3 cylinder corsa with absolutely no help from my parents haha “welcome to the big wide world” was the advice I got off my dad, he must be absolutely buzzing to be 19 and own a Impreza also where did you get the wheels from ? Take it there 5x100 17” ? I’d love a set of these for mine but need 18”

certainly not overpriced in today’s market mate, I’ve not used mine in around 3 weeks and I think the exact same thing, pop it up for sale! I can’t be bothered if I’m being honest but I can see why your selling.

What was your car worth mate and what did you put it up for? 😂 I’m going to do the exact same thing. I don’t expect anyone on here to buy it for the price I will put it up for but I’m going to test the water myself as it’s become an ocd obsession. I don’t need the money so if I get a stupid price for it great, if not great....👍

Put my classic Impreza up for 4 or 5k, but this was a few years back, when prices were around 2-3k for a uk classic. Would have to be 10k for me to consider selling. As I'd just go spend it on another Impreza anyway lol
