Dealer fitted the above for me but the front ones are already rubbing. Anybody know if there is different settings for the height as the dealer never gave me the fitting instructions and there seems to be a fair bit of work to get them off and check. Any help greatly appreciated.

 

sandycam, there are 2 height setting for the mudflaps.

Good! I'll go and take them off now and adjust them as it's really starting to get on my T*ts

 

If they are the rally type flaps then yes I believe there is an adjustment. I have seen posts on here from people saying that they have to be on the high setting on the fronts if scraping is to be avoided.

That said, the lowest setting will give the most protection.

If they are another type then I don't know.

 

Wow... you splashed out on the mud flaps! I nearly collapsed at the price of these things!!

 

Yeah the STI mudflaps have two settings. Mine are on the highest setting.

Ex-Pug, there was a very nice chap on here a while ago selling replica sets at less than half the "Official" price.

Mine are on the higher setting but still rub.

 

Didn't splash out, got them thrown in as the last bit of deal with type uk mats!

 

did you get the matts to go with the flaps and a few tank of fuel.

I pick my STi8 +PPP up on the 15th and my 1000 miles will be mostly done on the London-Thurso trip on the 17th....Which dealer did you get yours from..was thinking about using Dicksons to get the 1000 mile service done before the trip south

I did try and get mud flaps thrown in, but the sales chappy wouldn't have it. Did get TypeUK mats in the deal though, plus they're getting the gold wheels made up in P1 anthracite which I think will look super kewl on a black STI.

 

Got it from Dicksons and am really delighted with there customer service although i had been using Aird motors in Beauly before and had no problems whatsoever either. Remember to fill up with SUL in inverness or you'll need to get Octane booster! If you want contact details for Dicksons send me an email as you might get a little bit off from the bloke I usually deal with (obviously you might have to take me out a run in your PPP before I decide to sell the Gran and get one myself!)

Sandy,

I put the proper Subaru mud flaps on my 7 and tried all the different set ups; low/low low/high and high/high. I finally settled on the high front and the low back set up.
The fronts still rub with enthusiastic driving especially as I head over the Ord and on the roads we have Up North, but after a year of roads in Aberdeenshire the wear is insignificant so to speak.
The back ones don't touch, but be careful on reversing around high kerbs. I had them set high to avoid this, but they look better at the low setting.

If you go for the low front setting they touch damn near all the time, and god knows what they would be like by the time you go over the "Cassiemire" a few times. Even on the high front setting I'm guessing you would be bouncing down the road, scuffing as you go

I think you got some bits and pieces from my mate in Inverurie for the Sti 8... I'll be up the road some time in the next 4 weeks, at least as far as Berriedale, so might head up the road further and give you a shout nearer the time.

Is he bks 6 by any chance (wr exhaust?). Wouldn't mind you taking me out a run to see how big a difference PPP makes if it's not to much trouble.
I've settled on low back and high front but haven't tried them out yet as the cars getting the wax wizard treatment at the mo. Thanks for all the usefull info folks and yet again scoobynet stays at the top of the tree!

 

Sandycam enjoy the run with the ppp if you meet up with Jools
Cheers Brian

 

Sandy,
I'll give you a shout closer to the time. Be good to meet up.
Jools

 

After a few prob`s and some shouting got mud flaps for free (fitted)treat them like the dogs they are ha ha ha

 

Got to admit I wouldn't have put them on if I'd had to pay for them myself but now there on I'm getting used to them!

 

used to stay in thurso myself mate, whats it like up there now for cruising etc, some nice roads up there if i can remember right,


steven.

 

Not too bad, but now there's a lot of the max power boys on the go but the big woobly scoop usually puts them in their place!!!! The usual places are good for a blast but the local bobies (police) usually want there pound of flesh if your not carefull! Suppose it's just like every where else nowadays. Suppose that's a bit pot kettle black syndrome for a 23 year old!

 

sandy , was wondering if you knew a few folk i aint seen since i was 11 or 12, kevin sabiston and liam sinclair, cheers mate.
