Should i clean my car or leave it??
Its due its monthly wash this weekend, but the rain this week seems to have done a good job. What do ya think
I was told to get my tracking sorted after killing a wheel on a pothole, but could not be bothered, so after approx 3000 miles in just over a month, 2 knackered front tyres
(they are worse futher round the tyre
)

Nice looking car m8! love the wheels sitting snug in the arch.
No, wont bother cause it'll just get back to the same first time back on the road. Just give it a jet wash now and again.

18" technomagnesio detroit f1 in Silver, with Toyo Proxes 215/35x18 tyres. Handles very well in my opinion, but that it has an AVO coilovre kit on it

Paul, it was a private plate, the one i wrote off was an X Reg, this is a 51 plate, its the 3rd scoob its been on, 1st was a 99T
David, you know its clean, especially after the rally
Will be getting a full valet this week when it goes for the new tyres and geom setup.

Does anyone know if I can get these mudflaps for the 02 wrx saloon? I can't find them online and in the subaru accessories page the saloon ones are different / nasty?
Edited to say any problems with these bottoming out over ramps etc. especially as they have no 'give' like urethane flaps

they do have some give, bottom out a bit, due to car being lowered alot from standard. the paint and laquer has cracked a bit but thats about it.
not sure they fit 02's, will have alook for you and find you a link.

Narrr that is fine.. mine is two tone brown and green at the moment
probably as I just got back from doing 300miles in the wet cold, icy weather.... doh...
and I managed to chip a headlight!!! f*ck it!!
A van in front of me ran over a plastic package that split open throwing these strange plastic things about 4inch round each all over the outside lane of the A38... could do nothing about it as inside lane packed with slower moving traffic.. one hit headlight and chipped it (pin hole on outside and shrapnel removed from inside) and ran over lots of them... slowed down expecting a tyre deflation.. nothing... stopped and checked and all tyres seemed fine.. drove the 300miles with no other problems.. bu99er bu99er it though... will a chipped headlight fail an MOT anyone? I shall cover the hole with tape and fill it with glue at the weekend.. poxy poxy... will have to inspect the front for damage tomorrow lunchtime..... doh!

That because the tyres are shagged
and the spring rates too soft IMO.
New tyres are here, new springs are coming tomorrow, tracking done on saturday

JGM,it will fail if it alters the light pattern mate 
Best thing to do is to park facing a wall about 8ft away,put lights on and see if the pattern is the same from both lamps. If it is then you've had a lucky escape mate 
. Best cover the hole A.S.A.P though,so it cant get moisture in there and damage the chrome,as that IS an M.O.T failure Fingers crossed for you
