Think I would go body coloured with mine but carbon on white should look good.

 

Better view, IMHO will definitely look the part in carbon to match the high level spoiler and finishes the whole boot off.

 

Exige S 240 - though still awaiting delivery (one of the last to be made?)

 

Hi all

I'm selling my car if anyone is interested. This is due a growing family and the need for a bigger house. gutted really

Import, Euro spec STI in gray. 11k miles had the ECU reflash done at 1000 mile service.
mint condition, see 1st page of this thread or my garage for pictures. Looking for 19,500k

 

My Euro spec battery has given up less than 1 month out of its 2 year warranty. No goodwill gesture from Subaru (obviously) so any recommendations for good battery makes would be appreciated.

 

I put one of Halfords calcium batteries in my last 05 STI.
Came with 4 year warranty too.

 

Cheers - just looked on-line at Performace Batteries - seems their Alphaline is OK at £55 with 4 yr warranty
Giving battery 1 last chance to hold its charge over w/end before attacking car with tree branch (John Cleese fashion).

 

Just had my car lowered. Doesnt look like its made much difference but I can feel it being slightly stiffer and road handling has improved a bit though I need to give it a thrashing to see how well it handles corners, which I cant do until next week. Nevermind. Sigh.

Anywhoo, heres pics before and after in case anyone has been thinking of lowering springs (these are eibach's).



and after:

 

Had my first problem yesterday, keyless entry was not working on the car. Managed to get it unlocked, then tried starting the car, nothing flashing orange key not detected symbol, thought it might be the keyless remote so went into the house to get the other one, 30 secs later doors deadlocked and there I am stuck in the car. Took 40mins - several waves from outside the car from the wife - before I managed to get one of the keys recognised. Found loose battery connection but upon fixing the problem was still occurring so took the car to main dealer for quick check and all was fine. Stopped and started the car several times on the way home with no problem. Get home and unable to lock the car.

Think its an interference problem as have been out several times today and the problem only occurs at home. I know there were problems with the early Sigma alarms suffering this problem, any hatch owners had a similar problem?

 

not myself but i know a few other earlier models had problems with mobile/phone masts affecting

 

It's weird, the car has been locking/unlocking fine, definately seems to be inteference, have now worked out if I stand in a certain position the locks/unlocks ok.

 

I was on holiday in Scotland with my old Nissan Terrano.. anyway, stopped in Ullapool for a few days, afte the 1st night I came back to the car the central locking stopped working... eventually had to use the key... cursing the battery etc... anyway..left Ullapool... everything ok again... got back to Ullapool the next night..same problem...no central locking off the fob...

Must be some kind of radio interference in the area blanking out the fob signal mate... have you got a fire station or taxi firm nearby?

 

House backs on to a light industrial estate, taxi office about 1/4-1/2 mile away but been fine to date, nearest fire/police station is couple of miles away.

Seems that the car is only affected on the drive, 10ft away off the drive and the car locks/unlocks fine

 

this thread is tempting me to buy another Hatch, Im going to stick my classic up for sale

 

Yes I love the hatch and the wagon





Strange but the long suffering misses always likes to take the greenwagon over the blue one as she likes the noise and it doesn't lean on the corners and the shopping doesn't topple over in the boot she tells me

 

I just love the STi rear spoiler and grill
Thanks to stan palmers (rob)and Revolution ( Glen ) for their help with them .








Going to hang on with the rest of the plans until the warrrenty expires in 18 months time but really drawn to the new plasma blue colour on the new STi

 

^John, looks good as always mate

 

Hi all

Sold my car got 18K trade in

I've got a set of Rally Armor mud flaps for sale if anyone is interested

cheers

Lee

 

What did you trade it in against Lee?

 

Please don't laugh, a 5k Astra Sri

We've got our house up for sale, So I need to free up some cash.

I'll be buying another Subaru once were moved and I've saved up a bit.
It's just 2 kids and a small house just doesn't work

Well gutted really

 

not too bad then..if they gave you £18k on the condition you bought their £5k Astra!..

 

I'm loving all the narrow body hatches on this page!

 

More then just me loves the narrow body hatches

 

I stuck me some yellow fog light bulbs on the WRXD at the weekend.. I think it gives it a nice JDM look

 

That looks great

 

Ta dude.. we need a couple of splitters don't we? I feel a group buy coming on!

 

What do they look like in the daylight when off, do they make the fogs look yellow as I was going to tint the lenses yellow?

 

anyone interested in buying a H&S Centrepipe? Its only a month old, have changed it for a full de-cat, so I need to get rid.

Also got a standard Recirc Valve, 4 OEM Wheels with Yokohamas, a WRX roof spoiler and OEM WRX Air Filter kit box.

 

They still look clear/white as standard.. They are very bright too as you can see and make a big difference in fog!

 

saw a black sti hatch in canterbury car park today


anyone on here?
