Sorry guy's, I'm gonna have to pull out. I've been working on the car all afternoon after collecting my new exhaust to try and sort out a misfire issue.

I thought I found the problem ie. coil pack but replaced this with a spare I had and its still missing now and again.

Checked all the plugs and replaced afew of the sensors with spares I had and still not working fully right, with this in mind, taking it on a run wont be the best.

Have a good day guy's and lots of photo's wouldnt go a miss.

Cheers Lee, i didnt check the gap size.

I took the induction box apart and everything upto the int cooler to check for cracks and leaks but nothing, i'll go through them again in the morn to clean them up.

Gonna try replacing water sensor under the manifold tomorrow too if the clean and gapping dont work.

Apologies for pulling out of the run as soon as we got underway. My PTSD that I tend to experience since I drove my last Impreza off a bridge got the better of me.
I don't mind giving the latest scoob a healthy blast but when the run got underway I couldn't make myself keep up.

I need therapy.

Time heals all wounds so hopefully I will be ready for the next run.

I only noticed Evil Soup was with us as we left McDonald's car park. Gutted i missed you Ian. I would have come and said hello had I seen you sooner.

Dan I think you prob made a wise choice not easy to do but being wise is always best but u need to get back to it slowly with short blasts that will sort you out mate. I'll be alone soon in something may be Scooby may be something else haven't made my mind up but won't be long

Good drive, good fun!

Wasn't fussed about the weather 'cos with a Scoob: "Rain starts play!".

I was bang up for it Daz right up to when we set off and that's when I realised I needed to take things a little slower. Ill get there. One thing is certain and that I ill always put my faith in a scooby. When I crashed the Blob Eye STI it was my fault and not the car's.

No worries at all, we will defo catch up soon Ian. I didnt realise you were there mind so I am just as guilty. I keep living in hope that I will one day make it to the Toby Carvery for the monthly meets but I never do.

Hopefully I will be up for the next run out and will catch you then.

I don't swing by the toby myself these days mate, save my fuel for the runs. To be honest the car doesnt go far at all these days but it does make it more special when i do get a chance to give it a blast.
There is the show season starting again soon too so its not a bad way to go for a run with a few others without raising the blood pressure too much if you know what i mean.

Thats a good point Ian. After craching the Blobeye I didn't go to any shows last year so the plan is to make up for this year.

Defo catch you then.

When we were all leaving the car park at the Merthyr McDonald's for the run out I purposely waited to leave last so I could go my own pace and I saw your car leaving ahead of me but the penny didnt drop that it was you.

I should have realised because of the colour of your car is one of my favourite colours on an Impreza it caught my eye. At first I thought it was somebody in a WR1 but I could see it was a Hawkeye but still didnt twig that it was you.

I am off my head.

Car was looking lovely though fella.

Thanks mate, it was bogging though! Didnt think it was worth washing before a run in that weather. Sure we will catch up at some point over the next 12 months though
