08/09 Hatches, Stand up and show yourselves!!!
Could be brake pads moving slightly back, then front etc. as you move?
Does it only happen when you change direction - forwards to backwards or otherway round, and not just going in same direction afermovingoff?

Yes there was a list I think a few pages back and it got to four
There will be a separate section in the arena for the hatches but if someone can start a list on here get say
Minimum 8 hatches we can get a plot for you all to park together
We have 5/6 in Cumbrian Scoobs but I would imagine they will all be wanting to park with their own club (like myself) so the main contacts would be on here or the gr forum
Salsa - king would you like to project manage this ?
Information is on the northern section of scoobynet on club stands ,we have ten at the moment and you could trawl through the master list and try to pick up an hatch or two there
The smallest club has 8 cars so should not be a problem getting them all together so if you can sort them out it would be great as the field is bigger enough for them but I would nit just like to see 3/4 hatches on it
Front, poss both sides but difficult to be sure, only when manouvering at really slow speeds (3 point turn, reverse off steep drive etc). Otherwise OK, no noises when going lock to lock when stationary & none when moving say 5mph plus! Bushes/track rod ends etc checked & all seem OK.
To test this out, from stationary go forward and apply brake, then reverse and apply brake then forward again and apply brake. If you get the clunk with every brake after direction change there's your issue. It's common/normal.
The first braking event in forward or reverse moves the pads in the calipers and you get the clunk. Usually you won't get any further clunking until you apply the brakes going in the opposite direction. If you're getting the clunk with every repeated forward or reverse braking then it's possibly something else.

I can save him the call, Prodrive don't have any left i'm afraid (that's what they told me anyway). Your dealer will have to try Subaru direct & they only had limited supply when i got mine about a month ago. Failing that maybe ring round other dealers on the off chance?
Dealer did try Subaru directly - they said that they are no longer available.

Just fitted my new blitz nur spec cat back, not as loud as I was expecting, but wow what a piece of engineering, pretty straight and definitely a genuine 3" system. Should get louder with the cats out

in day to day normal 'our' driving would we know any difference?
must say I'm pleased how my 330s goes rounds bends, the car seems to have no corner roll. To the point I'd say why would you want Spec C set up if this is how good it is as standard.

I would suggest it would benefit press on driving and maybe track days, but be OK for shopping trips and rough village roads.
I found the 330S had too much understeer and did roll a bit / too much for my taste, so I had the Prodrive springs fitted which helped both issues, and the a lot of PU bushing and some Whiteline geometry adjustment parts, which helped more.
But I do perhaps carry too much speed into a bend so bring out the worst of the chassis .....
