Oh man i hope you can get that fixed ok, little ******* No sense of pride & joy or how much things cost


@renny, cheers m8

 

Guess it depends on the dealer. My old sport had 1" of service receipts and always listed on that was 5w30 Castrol GTX magnatec.

Guess I'll find out what they use of the diesels at the end of the month.

I got back to the car park to find that some ****** had lobbed a huge ice ball onto the roof....here's the damage


It would be both a dint and paint chip back to the metal wouldn't it. and just in the most inconvenient place on the roof edge panel

Anyone got any ideas of how to sort this? I'm no car expert so don't know where to start. Local dentman & paintshop? Dealer? Insurance claim? Any help would be much appreciated.

When an oak door fell against the wing on mine, it dented the crease on the front o/s wing in 2 places. Local ace body shop pushed it out and filled it (to get it perfect) then resprayed the entire wing. Perfect job (and I am fussy) £150 !!!! Couldn't believe it !
So I recommend going to a good body shop.

 

anywhere in the uk that do these?
08-10 Subaru Impreza & WRX & STI Lighting Protection Kits

 

I just ordered from the USA. Cheap and chips and quick delivery.

Looks like this -

Small world as they say Well you aint missing much buddy as it's still he same up here, cold, wet, snow, ice Not had the car out since before Dec, i kid you not & can't wait till all that grit has been washed away.

Nice car btw Subtle colours with the spotlights & red mesh grill lining it looks the berries

 

Confused on two points here mate:

1. Subaru say the first service is at 10K miles (all though I think your dealer doing a 1000 mile service is a great idea)

2. Castrol Magnatec might be ok for a normally aspirated Legacy, and semi-synthetic or mineral based oils are a good idea for running the engine in for the first few miles. But turbo charged cars like fully synthetic oils more mate. If you take your own fully synthetic (ester based) oil in next time and ask them to use that they will mate...I have used Millers, Silkolene and Motul, all good oils...if you have any doubts ring the oilman engine oil, motor oil, gear oil, car oil, motorbike oil, transmission fluid from oilman at Opie Oils

 

My dealer used 10-40 semi-synthetic on my Hawkeye.

 

God damn it, sorry to hear about this mate. Could they have put a dent in a more akward place...think a mobile dent repair man might have a job pulling that one out as they like to get in behind the dents usually. As has been said on here I body shop will sort it though. If it costs under or just over your excess I would pay cash to have it done & save your NCB for another rainy day...hope it ends up being an easy / cheap repair mate

p.s. can you tell I am snowed in and stuck infront of my computer yet...

 

I'm still looking for the STI front grill for my WRX... Does anyone know a good priced one?

Also,what model of GPS/NAvigation is used in the imprezas?

 

This is the one I have atm

 

sent you a PM gieleuh

 

The 1 litre oilpack that comes with the car has Shell Helix Fully Synthetic in it!

 

I Know!

I don't do many miles and it was recommended by a reputable company that I may as well stick with the dealer supplied stuff,at least until I have a few more miles on the clock- particularly as I also change it every 6 months.

 

Which bulbs and where from?? After last nights drive home, mine are goign to get changed. I couldnt see a damned thing last night.

Dips not enough, beams were just blinding.

Dear all,

My tyres are now on the way out after 18,000 miles or so, should just limp to the 20k service. However if I am about to shell out on new rubber, I also fancy sticking some bigger wheels on instead of the standard 17's. I really like the spec C 18's, and the 330s 18's as well as the STi 18's. As mine is dark grey and want to keep with silver wheels.
Suggestions would be great.
If any of you are about to offload any of the above let me know.
I would have liked to get the wheels through Subaru, but cannot justify £400 per corner plus tyres.

 

Thats the grille I want for mine!! I've got that horrible gawdy chrome thing at the moment.

 

did u get a disc with the kit to update the firmware?

carlos..

 

rally armor flaps with 330s stickers ready for fitting

 

They look nice m8, are you fitting them yourself?

So much better than our RB320

 

I've ordered a set of the smaller Japanese Prodrive ones for my car (from Revolution)...will let you all know what they are like.

Here are some poor iPhone pics of my new car (had it 6 days). When the new camera arrives, it's clean, and I see it in the daylight, I'll post new ones. They really don't do the red colour justice!












Brian.

 

??

 

Sorry maybe a bit vague

I was meaning the mud flaps.

The new Hatch subaru is better than our old cars, the rb320's

 

agreed

 

Hatchmania, nice car, loving the colour combo of the red and black.

Let the moddinf begin, there are some lovely red examples on nasioc.

 

which ones are best for the fogs?
