Great fun!

 

Sweet, braver man than me though in that tight space, that lampost looked way to close for my liking!!

 

Aaron : i thought that!!!

i have been hand-braking it 90 degrees from the main road to my drive, last night with the wife in the car i did it, only to slide sideways down the road!!!!

 

hehe, yep, I was at one point. They do get the back out nicely when the dccd is set to the back lowest setting

 

What is the best way to remove the chrome badges from the sides of the front arches without breaking them?

 

******* car - thought heater problems solved but oh no, back again!

Changed thermostat yesterday and lots of hot air but just pulled up now and hey ho no hot air. Felt bottom radiator hose and it's cold - any ideas what's going on?!

Car's going in as it's still under warranty so we'll have to see what they say - bloody frustrating though given how cold it is!

 

STi
Best watch this & follow the clips & really simple to do.

Hope it helps.

Subaru Front Fogs.. I've got a price.. £245+vat + fitting!

if i want fogs + reverse sensors..... fitted = £650.

 

You can fit the fogs yourself, ever so simple, 1/1.5 hours tops.

 

Bit cheaper here, oh and try to get before the VAT goes up.

Perfect mate, thanks for the link.

I went out today with my 08WRX to pull my girlfriends car out of the snow (C3 Picasso Boat), which worked pretty well and easy. While pulling out I wasn't focussed on my car but more on here and the behavior.

Now I was pulling a few seconds with my handbrake on , heard a squeeling noise and smelled bad for a sec.. Damn, I was pretty scared, I could beat myself into the ground that moment!! I went back home again without any traction problems on ice/snow etc so I guess my car is still working normal as his AWD system..

My Q is, could this little dumb action do any harm on my beloved car?? If its just the parkbrake shoes/discs, I guess it isnt really a problem. But I heart that it isn't good for a WRX (not the STi) drifting with a handbrake cause the differential is ... ?

Can anyone explain what could go wrong, or can be damaged?

Damn, I feel terrible now...

 

There wont be anything wrong inside, My handbrake squeels like a pig if you pull it on while the car is moving. the awd should be ok in the car to be fair they are harder than you could imagine. maybe at worst you'll need to re-adjust the handbrake

 

slightly off Pix thread topic... but as this threads covering the Hatches...

just done my wifes car insurance on her Focus (54plate.. value £4k) £308 Fc- 9yrs+ NCP... I'm named driver too on it.


So why the quote was there edited the car details with same cover albeit lower milage use.

prices came in the same for a 2009 330s & STi TypeUK = £465 (Fc with NCP)


made my day.... it's only £130 more than I pay on the roadster with 100bhp and car value £6k lol
and only £160 more than she pays for the focus.


Not sure if putting me as main driver makes any difference to a quote, but still don't think price looks bad as it is!!

 

ye insurance is quite good on the hatch but the tax makes up for the saving on the insurance!!!!

 

stop it!! i didn't think of that

 

bought a new Karcher, a 1600W trolley one from Tesco, was £200 down to £90

*** me its good


my STI was black and the grime was solid on the bodywork, the old karcher didnt budge anything, the new one blasted off the top layer which impressed me

then i hook up the snow lance and **** me, the extra power covers the car with foam and it doesnt run at all

the wifes car was almost clean after i blasted off the foam, the 19" RS rims didnt even need a brush!!! great news as I hate the hundreds of spokes lol


the STI needed a wash with shampoo and towel but its now gleaming!!!

people must think i'm mad, washing both cars in a t shirt with it raining and light almost gone lol
