The only thing wrong with the wagon mafia sticker is it's a Legacy

Default 555 Wagon Squadron news !!!!!

At least 4 senior evaluators from the military turned up yesterday to see the unveiling of the Squadron's latest Stealth Flight equipment - the NITRO PULSAR LUX INTUITIVE HELMET.


It is hoped that this top secret item will one day make it as standard issue for all Squadron pilots. In the meantime, enjoy Flight Lt Cynthia "Storm" Sharpley demonstrating the helmet to the evaluators, wearing "light combat" uniform.




In the meantime, Pilots, read the spec of this helmet, and weep! The spec will be released from the secret list shortly, and will follow in a de-coded separate post on this thread!!!!

Meanwhile, here is a pic of Senior Formation Manoeuvre Technician Ken Cobalt preparing to manoeuvre Wagons into alignment for another of "those" formation photos we all love to see.

Okay - I have clearance ref 070/43/Alpha 7 for the spec for the NITRO PULSAR LUX - "more than just a helmet" !!

Features:

Auto-vector co-ordination
Compu-trajectory Imaging
Latent Voice Technology
Pre-task Adjustment
Carbon-tipped "clear vision" visor with Blast Fragmentation technology
Special "nape thrusters" to control G-forces in a full-boost evasive manoeuvre scenario
Tactical Evaluation Module available on line
Bulit-in refreshment module includes hot chocolate and green tea

When coupled with the special Non-Imaging Pressurised Wondersuit worn by Fl Lt Sharpley, she is able to optimise radial velocity and maintain a pulse width of 0.7 during "over the horizon" manoeuvres. When connected to the Circular Polarisation Dome mounted on the dashboard of her Spec B Legacy, blind zone chaff is reduced by a factor of 19 - and the knowledgeable will know what that means for a Stealth Flight pilot !!!

they said it was a crank failure,however i think it was a bearing failure,but i have been told subaru parts in general are of a soft nature,if i ever need a rebuild again everyone has said cosworth or jun parts are bomb proof..
even the crank in the new sti 2.5 bottom end is supposed to be a crap design.
i dunno though i still feel a tad grieved after spending a small fortune getting what i thought was a good rebuild but it turned out a bad un
u live and learn though..
that is why i have done nothing with my wagon i,m too scared lol
