Default Newbie - Steve Tee

Picked up my first Subaru yesterday, wow is all I can say. Its my first turbo car and quite a step up in power from my old car, a Vauxhall VX220 (2.2 NA).

Some pics:






I've already experienced the Scooby owner nod while entering a petrol garage

As Si said, nice car and welcome. Have you got any plans for the car, or keeping it 'as is' for now?

Its had a lot done to it already, Milltek exhaust system, Prodrive 18" alloys (at least I think they're Prodrive), Induction kit, HKS turbo timer, HKS blow off valve, 3 gauges on the dash to measure oil and boost + more.

Got it booked in for a timing belt change at a local independent garage, any idea on cost?

I thought so, it has an air intake where the o/s fog light cover would be?

I think the previous owner now has a Focus RS, what modifications have been carried out before you had it?

It looks a nice example - I used to pass it around 3 times a week and it looked well looked after.

Yeah that's the guy, now has a Focus RS. The drivers side fog light has been converted to an air intake for the induction kit-



It's also got a PSI3 ECU monitor in the dash above the CD player, no idea what it does or how to use it though

I had a timing belt service @ Three Arches in Cardiff and it was about £350 I think a few months ago.
