its a special edition, fitted with prodrive's performance pack, recaros and some other extras - its what the STI should have been out of the box

 

push button start.... fancy sat nav, tracker with text messaging too.

oh and insurance is not too bad as its classed as afactory standard listed car, (as well as the normal STi that's listed on the model choice)

 

Had another play about with my new toy on the pressure washer lol

Snow foam lance, Ready mixed up with cherry snow foam



Time to start foaming her up
















Just about ready to wash off


Quick scrub of the wheels




Ummm Clean

 

Looks good Rob, hopefully it'll last a few days!

Tried changing front pads on mine today but the pins have siezed in the caliper.

Anyone know where I can get replacements without paying stealer prices?

 

hopefully it will last lol

You could try Ian godney at godspeed brakes

 

Cheers Rob, will give Ian a try, PITA though

 

HELP:


anyone with a 330s with 19" alloys?

who did you get insurance with.. as online quotes are adding £400 extra just cus it has the OPTIONAL EXTRA Alloys!!!

 

Try saying their value is the same as the standard wheels, as iirc they are actually cheaper than the Lustics, no increase for my speedlines on my policy.

 

Rob what wheel cleaner you use? I know you do alot of miles so there must get filthy but u get them back perfect

 

I use Autoglym Custom Wheel cleaner, the one with the light blue label on it & the Autogylm wheel brush

works very well to be honest. I do about 250 miles a week and be lucky this time of year if its washed once a fortnight

 

250miles week in a scoob!!!! the government loves you then lol

 

Yep my A*se is well sore after those robbing tw@ts have raped me

 

We'll I don't have the 19" alloys, but my 330S is with Greenlight.
Keither Michaels were alos quoting for the business.

 

that makes two of us rob ,iam doing 250miles ish a wk got 40k + on mine but they are there tobe used not looked at

 

lol glad I'm not the only one Mines just clicked over to 40k

 

got a quote.

£625 fc, £350 Xs (INCLUDING the 19" Plus any other future mod)




how does that sound?

 

just rang liverpool victoria....

they come in at £527.56 fc P-NCD incl Wheel Mod, £500xs (£200 + £300)... free £100k legal over 8k mile a year.
(they said if i want to add any other mods ring them)


sound a bit better?

 

Looks great + good price !

How many washes does 5 litres do ?

 

same stuff I've got, only put about 1" 1/2 in the bottle and topup with warm water so i would say about 50 or more washes

 

not a fan of pressure washs !

but may mite be worth haveing a look at snow foam would savea bit time

 

Snow foaming your car first is the best way to avoid those nasty swirl marks, i never had one swirl mark on mine.......plenty stone chips but no swirls

 

Cheers Rob - sounds like my kind of price per wash

I suppose the only way to do the underside is poke the p washer under and angle it up (widening the spray pattern to reduce pressure a bit).

 

what does the snow foam do? save you soaping the car with a sponge?

 

Pretty much foam it on, let it dwell for a while. It breaks down the dirt on the car enabling you just to rinse it off with ease, some folk just do that as a main wash if its not that dirty and some folk do a quick once over with a wash mitt afterwards

Time saver really and allot easier and like Strike said no nasty swirls on the car

 

hhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm need jet wash now.

 

Guys

I've still got few bits from the car for sale if you are interested?

this Snow Foam stuff, can you get it with a wax in it so you can spray on, let it do its thing, then jet wash off, giving a 'finish' to the car once you leather and dry off?
