Few pictures i took at the weekend after removing the rear fog and a quick polish and wax, also have removed the wheels tonite to get them repainted and will be taking off the rear quarter stickers to replace them with more genuine looking ones if some one could point me in the direction off a set also wondering which is the correct sticker for the bootlid as i have seen a couple off different styles,


Thanks for looking Ryan

Nice R

As above, they look like genuine rear quarter stickers, post a close up of them if you can it's gonna cost a fair whack to register it over in Ireland

I did the opposite and brought my Type R over to the UK and just had to pay £170 for registering and 6 months tax

Cheers for the comments lads stickers prob are genuine was the the fact i never seen ones saying Type RA on them before threw me, she sailed through mot the day before i bought her all she needed was a bolt tightened on the wiper motor and that was it. Heres a closer picture off the quarter stickers aswell.

I had to put my bootlid decal back on! Bought from JapanParts at a rudiculous price but worth it!



You're right about the rear quarter stickers, couldn't tell what was on them from the original pic! RCM is the best place for the quarter ones and the bootlid one too as said not cheap tho!

Give your idle control valve a cleanout with petrol or carb cleaner (be careful with the gasket)..........

nothing really changed on the subaru front just wheels painted and stickers removed and a good polish and wax needa get a few good pictures took and put up when i get a chance, real reason i'm bumping this back up is i'm after a drivers window assembly as my own has started jumping and now the window drops slighty not the safest thing that could happen cant really leave the car sitting anywhere, plus im considering getting a front mount around christmas just wondering the pros and cons on fitting one and what kinda things to watch out for while doing so, any advice appreciated.

Cheers Ryan
