£200 , no thanks!!!

 

does any1 no how these trims are fixed?

i tried turning the screws and they just spin, i'm assuming that these are not fixings but just for show???

 

theres nuts on the backside of the black bumper under the car, Only 3 of the 4 screws are fixed 1 is just a dummy bolt

 

RB5

Yep totally agree, the black trims look way better - not as bolt on or plasticy

 

ah, thanks

i tried to put my hand round the back but burnt my hand on the exhausts lol


has anyone changed their roof aerial?

Peoples opinion needed please! I changed the wheels on my hatch to prodrive gt1's and now the car doesnt seem to be quite right. The car seems to pull out of line when i accelerate hard and also it seems to snake a bit when i brake, anyone else had this problem?. The only thing i can think of is the tyres cos i put some real cheap ones on there (Anyone heard of Falken?). I phoned subaru dealer and he seemed to think it was torque steer!!!! Anyone have any thoughts on this? Also the brakes make a lot of clunking noises at low speeds.

I am coming on sat but i havent got around to putting my name on list.

 

I'll also mention it to Iain

Cheers

There you go

 

not sure how much truth is in this but i have heard of people getting wheel alignment done after changing a set of wheels

 

Or if you buy an import from Iain, they come standard !

well i aint gonna buy another car just for the trims lol

p.s. that image link doesnt have the exhaust trims on

 

More weight saving !!

(Note to self - buy stronger glasses !)

 

The salesman called me back he said its not fitted with one he advised to write a complain letter to the company.
Its been four weeks I wrote a complain letter to the company I guess they dont want to know does matter. I have had a tracker fitted anyway.Its the last time I buy a car off motordepot.

 

what about this exhaust for the hatch. looks and sounds pretty hardcore imo

Sounds amazing, not sure about the looks though.

 

That looks truly awful.............

Yes i was tempted by the prices which are great but the red one was covered in swirls and he said thay all come like that ""

although 22.5 k was a great price for a sti similar spec to a 330s


the warrent issue was my bigest concern with it being in their showroom for 6 months so only 2 and a half year s remaing

glad i got a deisel in the end with the mileage im putting on at the moment

 

Still waiting for my service book and warrenty papers.
Called my local dealer about the ecu update wasnt to helpful about it. Didnt really want to khow.They said to call subaru uk after speaking to someone in subaru uk who was very helpfull about the warrenty and ecu update I called the local dealer and offered to pay straight away they knew what I was talking about and they booked my car in for the ecu update. They are charging me £48.00.

 

Hi Azir
I'm still waiting for my warranty and service book from Motor Depot. The problem is the company in Cyprus from which they were imported has stopped trading! So there is no one to register the warranties. Motor Depot S****horpe where I got mine from, said they will cover any warranty work until its resolved.

 

Iv just call the company up regarding the warranty and service book now he saying it can take up 8 weeks still not telling me about the problem in cyprus.
I am going to wait and see what happens.

 

I'm sure you'll find you'll be in the same boat as me

I was lucky enough to get my ECU update done under warranty at the Gratham dealer.

I tried contacting Subaru UK to register the warranty, but they said it needs to be done by the original dealer. Bit tricky when they have gone bust!

 

ong good thing about subarus is they are well put together

my other subaru my00 had a new alarm bracket and battery replaced under warrenty and that was it in 9 years

 

Anybody with circa 350+bhp, i wouldnt mind a passenger run around block.

 

Hey

So is everyone with their name on the hatch meet list still ok to go??

What time are you lot aiming to be there? 10am has been mentioned, so I guess I'll aim for 10 - 10:30............
The weather is looking like it should be on our side too

Right I'm off to give mine a bath

Ben

 

I've probably got about 340ish and your more than welcome for a blast in mine

Ben

 

Ben,
Very kind of you Sir!

I will be up a tad later than 10am, as some of us have to work for a living! Probably about 11ish.

See you all tomorrow.

 

I will be there, nearer 11 ish as i have to drop some cyl heads of in Bromsgrove on the way.

 

Sorry I cannot make it

Was always a long shot i could go anyway as too much going on at home ie major House Renovation and a 8 week old baby

Look forward to the Pics though

 

Look forward to seeing you tomorrow

Regards

Iain
