i think you will find the PCD is wrong, I may be wrong but find out what yours are (usually on the back of the wheel fitted.)

RB5 is correct, S GT's run PCD 100, same as the wrx and wrxd, Sti's run 114's. Its a right pain the the arris, as I quite like the standard Sti rims.

A word Of Caution.

Got some interesting reading material here about the 2.5 engine failures 09my models have been changed on the production line, in what way has not been disclosed.

but subaru are clamping down big style on engine claims. everything from requesting fuel samples to pictures of the car inside and out even the driving position lol

Wow, thats just an insult!! Defo keep the hatch then and see what happens next year with the saloon, personally not sure I prefer it over the hatch.

Think I'm going to wait for the new FRS if it ever goes into production, 4wd with batteries powering the rear, now that will have some acceleration!!

How has he tested the alternator ??
They run a step type charging system, so dont allways charge when the cars running by itself..

should allways test them with the sidelights on or some draw on them

not replaced an alternator yet. Had the battery go on mine a month ago

Me too, after the same problem (dead battery) the dealer said the standard battery Subaru put in the car is rubbish and swapped it for a decent Varta one, no problems since

p.s. still have loads of lovely goodies for sale, prices now reduced for a quick sale

Some pics of the new saloon from NASIOC, not 100% sure myself yet though, perhaps I'll have to see one in the flesh as I did with the hatch, no good for me though as I'm not sure I could go back to a saloon, that is unless it was an RS4!!

Depends which way I look at it - like the last picture of the silver one but don't like the look of the grey one.

The Hatch looks better from the front but prefer the rear of the saloon.
