Default Another Welsh Newcomer!

Been a watcher\thread stalker for long enough now so thought I'd better say "hi!" And all that
Bought my first Impreza after a 16 year wait back in october (I'll post some pics when I get a chance) Shes a 07 Hawkeye STi with full PPP type UK in grey.

I've read some great build stories on here and its inspired me to start my own little project.

I hope to get to a local meet soon and get to know the community and put faces to the names

Kev

i use cvc in cardiff for my oil changes as i do them every 4k just to get a subaru stamp in the book but unsure if they do cam belts. give them a ring and ask. there is a garage called 3 arches cardiff which have very good reviews from owners on here, i think theres a bloke there who used to work in the subaru dealer before it closed, but i dont know if they can stick a subaru stamp in the service book.

Welcome along to the Welsh section fella Three Arches have a very good name here and you won't go far wrong, I'm sure The Trooper will be along shortly to recommend them along with a few others.

CVC have been closed for a few years now. Both the main lads in Three Arches where ex-CVC Subaru time served and I trust them with my grand children. One of them as a Spec D Hawkeye with added goodness.

Welcome to the madness.

Thanks all! Looks like i'll be giving Dan at 3 arches a ring to book her in. Going to have a look into improving the handling a bit , so be prepared for a lot of questions!

I'll be popping to the meet this week as well. I'll stick my name down.

Anyone go to the Autosport show the weekend?

I had put it off long enough and toady was "big" service day. Gotta say (other than a bruised wallet) real happy with the service and advice from the boys at 3 arches. I'll be back for future mods and repairs. Thanks all .
