Typical classic import behaviour?

Fog lights blaring (in broad daylight), using the public roads recklessly

Great camera work......NOT!
Nine and a half minute video of which eight and a half were of the road surface.
Totally pointless and fancy doing it right on a junction.

like pulling up in the middle of the road with a car behind you? Nice after thought with the indicator.

Sure we've all done daft stuff mate........d8ck head is a bit harsh I agree. D8ick would have sufficed.

Only joking bud...................

I've done something similar but at night in a deserted location... I think it's the fact that it's broad daylight with plenty of other motorists around that is prompting the sort of responses your getting. Plus the video isn't going on the Internet.

roflmao... yeah....

it was put there as my mate wanted to hear what the car sounded like and it was a good place to upload a vid of such size for free!!!...

anyways i paid the price!!!

only thing i am worried about now is doing trackdays.....

was told that with the small scoops sustained high speed drivng when the air almost completely misses the small scoop means the engine temps soar and thus premiture engine failiure...

i WILL be fitting a FMIC but just worrying that subaru didnt fit a scoop that was sufficient or fit the FMIC as standard!
