Does anyone have a colour code (if one exists) for the standard 16" five spoke gold STi rims off a Sonic Blue MY98 Type R ?

 

Uh Oh, not again

Saffron Yellow (Gold) from Halfords mate

 

Cheers but do you know a manufacturer code as we don't have a Halfords here (small island and all that) and I want to get it sorted asap.

 

Go to a DuPont colour mixing place or bodyshop...ask them to look in there colour book under Subaru and at the back is the reference for wheel colours...2 varients of the gold wheels in fact!!

okay m8

By the way do you know Martin Rowe??

Tim

 

Thanks for the post.

Don't know Martin personally but he did go to the same school, as did Mark Higgins (year ahead of me). Had any of their talent rubbed off I wouldn't be needing to spray up some grey STi wheels to replace the two which I marked up at the weekend in a back road incident !

Cheers

I know martin a bit...Know his Mum better to be honest. Often stayed across there in Onchan with her when the manx rally has been on.

Had some memorable nights down in douglas at the nightclub there and in the casino!!!

Couldnt beleive it when i came last you actually have a Mcdonalds now!!!!!!!

Great place the island mate....

Still have some touch in paint from my old Terzo, Sonic Blue so should be the same gold. When I get home I'll check for the code & let u know.

 

Living here has its up & downs. Great roads for the Scooby and no speed limits out of town are two of the ups ! Going to get worse though as they're thinking about bringing in a 60mph limit and gatsos. :-(

 

so i hear!!!

still be no speed limit over the moutain though i thought?

I had a thing through from DUKE about some trackdays they are running down at jurby (thinks thats the place) and also a special trip over during TT week and being able to smoke around the circuit!!

is this correct??


sounds good if it is

Tim

 

I haven't heard about any specific tours but Duke's have been running track days at Jurby. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they're doing a tour as well during TT week though. The owner, Peter Duke, likes his Subarus (he has a 22B)and he brought my car in from new for the previous owner together with a new V-Limited for himself.
We have Mad Sunday during TT week where they make the mountain section of the course 1 way for a day and its a free for all. Its a must if you come over but take at least one passenger to watch behind or you'll clobber some biker as he goes to pass.

The speed limit law was rejected 18 months ago by 1 vote and I believe they're going to bring it again this year. It will include the whole island including all of the TT course ! They're also bringing a bill to allow gatsos and have already hired the first mobile ones for the TT so I understand.
The beginning of the end......

 

Sorry m8 nothing on the can ;(

 

Subaru Saffron Yellow (Gold) - Subaru colour code 58

 

Thanks guys, hopefully my wheels will be ready for next weekend and the Scooby will be back on the road.

Cheers
