When getting multiple people in the car , they are all standing pulling the handles to get in before i have a chance to get in and hit the central locking button on the inside. They assume (rightly IMO) that once they hear the unlock sound of my door that all the doors have opened. Surely there's a setting to open all doors with drivers handle button ? I think if i hit the keyfob twice it does but defeats purpose of keyless entry.
I should get a chance to play about tonight , been flat out since i got the car.
Don't ever remember any ding noises during my time with it.
The only noise I remember was when the car was running and you left the immediate vicinity.

Happy enough otherwise?

Get a clear rear fog light for it.

Yes, I'm well pleased. Not sure if it was your car ? PM me your name , it'll be in the service history.
I've a wee list of minor things to do , the fog is one of them.

Just to be safe I took it to my local main dealer. They confirmed my diagnosis and swapped the sensor.

Yeah I cycle to work so not putting many miles on at the moment. My missus drives it more than I do!

i got a full set of these from the states - and more than happy with them quality wise
http://www.squirrelly.com/products/s...e-12x1-25-pair

though all depends on what offset your wheels are and whether they have the pockets in the back of the wheels to allow studs to protrude into

for example, my STI BBS wheels are et55, so i went 15mm (i used impreza cosworth as a reference, they run et43)

But i need to trim my original studs as the pockets in back of BBS wheel arent big enough to accomodate stud protrusion.

The spacer studs would need to run with open end wheel nuts or else they also need trimmed about 8mm to run std subaru dome nuts

hope that makes sense!

pictures maybe explain it better!

This is 20mm spacers, again for reference

Had a full miltek system, an oil and filter change and new HKS panel filter fitted today ready for Bob Rawle to map it in the morning. What should I expect the gains to be?

Well my HT autos rear diffuser has decided it doesn't want to stay on the car much longer ,,plastic is splitting where it mounts to the roll bar mounting so not anything that can be done apart from either buy another or Order the liberal one I like from Japan parts but that ones very expensive so it might have to wait ,,, bloody cars lol

^^^^

The car look awesome mate

If you've done the turbo back system and decatted you easily be getting 350/350. It's more about how it feels and reacts than the p155ing contest of numbers.

Bob is one of the first and greatest and i'm sure he'll steer you in the right direction etc.

As for the rear diffuser. Mark is very approachable, if you speak to him directly i'm sure he'll look after you.

Darren; as Mark says, 350. Where did you get the Miltek ?
Mark, I think you need a day out in the New Forest as yours is on the road first; mine arrived at the port last Saturday. What plans for the spec c ?
Lucky bar stewards.

Got it from Chevron Stafford but he was told it was the last one in stock at Miltek! Hard to believe they've got no more left but Simon wouldn't make it up.

Hayward & Scott do one of the better quality / designs in sports cat d/p's.

I had a cheap one Cobra one which split / was rewelded, then blew itself apart after 30k+ miles.
