Picked up my new impreza wagon today, and it's completely standard!
Love it already so I'd thought it share it here. Has anyone had any experience with them?

Hello,
I have the ktec wilwood 4pot calliper setup on my clio running mintex1144 pads and the squeel especially when warm.
They don't do it when cool / cold and I'm wondering why this is as it's very loud :-S
Has anyone else had this? Or can recommend better pads if needed.
Cheers
Jonny
This might be a silly question, but when bleeding the wilwood 4 pot kit do you use the larger gold coloured nipple or the smaller black coloured one?
I was just a tad confused and hoped someone could help
Cheers
So last week I contacted snappy of here to see if he would be interested in refurbishing my steering wheel, as mine was in crappy condition.
A couple of pm's later and we were away. The work took him a couple of days and he text me picture updates along the way. I received the new wheel on...
:mad:! Woke up this morning to find some s**t has stolen my 2.0L bullets done by sprayshack.
Turns out you cant have anything, super frustrating.
Just wanted to get that off my chest really, cheers guys.
Ok, so I snapped my airbag wires when I went to refit my standard steering wheel after having an aftermarket one.
I then bought a new squib from Renparts with in tact airbag wires thinking this would turn my airbag and serv light off. (im assuming the squib works as other functions also work...
Ok, so the purists among you may not like this, but I got my 172 cup wheels refurbished in "gunmetal" today.
Now when I booked this, I had a dilemma. Do I go for high power silver or an anthracite sort of colour?!?!
I went with the gunmetal, and im happy with how its turned out. Anyway, less...
Ok, ive been putting this job off for a while, but seeing as it was nice weather I thought I'd give correcting my headlights a bash.
Firstly a trip to my local Halfrauds was needed in order to procure:
Autoglym Super resin polish
Meguiars Scratch X 2.0
Microfibre cloths
Wet n Dry
To begin I...
Ok, so I had a rather large accident when removing my steering wheel. I made a huge mistake by taking the bolt off, then pulling the wheel off.
As a result, I have snapped one of the airbag wires:dapprove:.
Now ive heard that you wont pass an MOT with the serv light on?
So my question is...
hello all,
am I right in thinking that to swop my cup seats over to 182 seats, that all I need to do is undo the 4 bolts underneath the car? Lift old seats out // drop new seats in?
Any advice would be great
Cheers

Hey guys,
After a couple weeks if thinking about it, ive decided that coilovers (for me) are to harsh for road use. At the moment I have the k-tec coilover kit fitted but I want to put the standard struts back in, but my springs are looking worse for ware. So, I was wondering what you guys...
received a present from the postman this morning:
Which translates into:
Im fitting this tomorrow and so far as i know knowone has posted any videos of a BTB decat so ill do a quick video :)
Cheers
Jonny
Righto, ive ordered a ktec decat pipe to go with my BTB exhaust currently on my 172cup. I was wondering how difficult are these to fit?
Could it be done on some axle stands on a drive?
If not, do garage's normally fit these?
Cheers guys
Jonny
Hey guys,
So ive got a yozza race stealth on order, but in the meantime the previous owners bodge job of sorting out exhaust hangars has failed.
So at the moment the exhaust is sitting on the middle hangar (also needs replacing) and is un - drivable as the backbox is hitting the crossbeam...
ok, ive got some brand new rear brakes disks for my 172cup, but im unsure of what people mean when they talk about 'bearings' in this context? Do you need new bearings in order to fit the new disks?
All this stems from this page: http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2126&appid=2...
heya,
been messing around with photoshop this afternoon with some pics I took of the cup.
I know its a pointless exercise, but what do you guys think?

hey guys,
My engine management warning light came on the other day. So whilst it was at the garage, my mate stuck his fault code reader in and his said it was something to do with the oxygen sensor - i.e. lambda sensor.
So I was wondering how much do you think it would cost to supply and...
ok, so im after an espace v6 airbox for my 172 cup, but im confused as to which ITG filter goes in it...
Ive found a page that has them http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m35b0s3469p0
but theres 4 differant ones for an espace, does anyone know which one is needed?
thanks
Jonny
hey guys
ok, so ive just been to my local garage to get the wheel alignment done (just fitted my coilies) and the mechanic ( a guy i know) said there was loadsa play in the wheel, he then showed me - and there was!
So new track rod ends and some other end, I cannea remember the name have...
I know this is a stupid question but ive just installed some K-tec coilies and the ride height is waaaaay to low i.e. scrubbing. To adjust them to i need to spin the rings up or down?
I also hope my jack fits underneath 8-S.
Cheers
Jonny
