No problem Dave. I'm away for the weekend from tomorrow anyway. And may we say a big 'THANKS!' to whoever has generously hosted us for so long. Do we need to make some kind of donation for the new server space?

Anyone from this list? Very clean looking with big rear pipe. Going out towards the A453 at about midday today (28/10/03). Let us know if you're on here.

Also saw white J-reg turbo estate without roof rails heading south on the M1 at about 11.30am. Are you on here?

I second that guess! The early indication that a wheel bearing is on the way out is when you start to get the 'moaning' sound whilst putting pressure on that side of the car when turning. So if the sound comes when you're turning right, it's a left side bearing that's going. (someone please correct ...

After I drive the car for a little while I go under the hood and I can smell burning oil.. Firstly, welcome to the forum and also to Subaru ownership! I too get the same smell sometimes and need to check the gaskets. I've been trying to work out if it's the clutch burning or brake fluid leaking or ...

Mine's pretty notchy too, especially going into 4th from 3rd, but I put that down to the huge mileage.

It's still not as notchy as my wife's Fiat though

I agree that any exhaust can do harm as well as good. A recent review of race exhausts for Yamaha bikes showed performance losses from some pipes and gains on others. It just shows that you can't guarantee gains just because you have a 'performance' pipe...

And me! I've had my Legacy for just about exactly one year.

Well done all for being part of one of the friendliest boards on the net!

Pretty much everything that's been stated and the fact that at any speed above around 65 mph the wiper on the drivers side tends to float over the spot right in my field of view while my passengers get an unobstructed perfect view of the road :evil: This is easy - just buy one of those blades with ...

I'm with Subafreak. I love the total sleeper element of the BF/BC Legacies. However, I have to say that I'd want a wee bit more equipment - standard climate control and cruise control for those long journeys but that's it. Well, maybe a bit more power wouldn't go amiss! :D I guess that sounds like t...

My exhaust has similar sized outlets but they are further forward on the car (ie they don't stick out the back like that). I like it because no-one really notices the twin outlets. Sleeper!!

My conclusion was that while the turbo is faster, the difference between it and my NA would not be noticable once you threw in some turns. I guess 300 pounds and a slushbox really hurt. Absolutely true. You can only enter a given corner so fast so a turbo will have no advantage. The only difference...

Don't want to rain on the parade but (a) you'll NEVER get a hotel room in London for $30 a night (more like $65 for a Travelodge which is BASIC!! :shock: ) and (b) you'll be lucky to find any sort of worthwhile Subaru parts. Anyway, we want them all. :D I think a trip to the land of the Rising Sun i...

So far haven't been killed by anything. As they say, you have to choose the battles you want to win!

I've seen an indicated 125mph whilst still in fourth gear on my turbo estate... Not saying where or when though.

Nice. I couldn't believe how cheap some of these imports are! £7k for a 43k mile twin turbo!! Wish I had £7k...

Definitely km/h. See http://vehiclesales.jicconline.co.uk/47103/SL8553i.jpg for a close-up of the speedo on an import twin turbo.

Yes, I know I'm completely sad...

I reckon it could look really awesome, but probably the best thing to do would be to play with images on something like Photoshop before spending money/time on bodywork! I was looking at some photos of 1970's saloon car racing where they had group 4 arches, wheels that were wider than their diameter...

Has England grown since i was there in May? It wasnt big then. I stayed in Worcester and everything seemed like it was just over two hours away. And sorta was. Deaks I live within two hours of Worcester. My parents live in Elgin. That's not two hours from Worcester. I guess it's still not as big as...

In any case, Bilsteins are often rock-hard in comparison to OE equipment. You need to decide exactly where you want your ride/handling compromise to sit and then go and seek out a suspension specialist who can help. Personally my Turbo is a great balance between comfort and handling. Anytime I think...

VERY nice looking car. for me the only thing that jars is the front grille - would look way better with a turbo grille but that's a minor niggle.

Beautiful job man - respec'!!

Don't forget to leave the parking brake off!! It's always a pain trying to free it off the first time you drive the car again...

I bought an old Supra :D Me too - an old turbo one and gradually tuned it until I could afford an Impreza rally car. First time driving the Impreza was like WOW :shock: Great game - I've had all the versions of Gran Turismo so far and it's great to finally have a road car that's in the game! Lookin...

Nice and tidy - like it! For me a tail spoiler would 'balance out' the lines a bit but it's a nice looking car. Kudos!

Check the state of the reflectors. I think you'll probably find that larger wattage bulbs are illegal, but you can try some anyway. There's not much else you can do...

Saw a show about him on TV the other night - amazing workmanship but those bikes cost $$$$$$$$
