A very good mate of mine is selling a Jap Import Impreza WRX STi actually: http://micra.org.uk/showthread.php?p=192553#post192553 It's a later version of the nicest shape Impreza though so it may be out of your price range, I don't know? What sort of price are you looking at. I have some...

I apologise for evading the swear filter...didn't mean to...fanimold has become 'the word' that my mate and I use as much as possible when messing about with engines...because it's a funny word to use when bored lol

A good friend of mine is selling his MINT condition STi, don't know if this is of interest to anyone on here but I know of at least one person on here who is looking for an Impreza so thought I'd post it up :) Subaru Impreza WRX STi Import (280bhp) 53,000 miles V reg Full UK service...

The gas axe is your friend if they don't want to budge (or blow torch). I spend a lot of time working on old engines (50-80 years old) so I know all about bolts that won't budge LOL If by chance the bolt DOES snap and your are left with the stud being stuck in the block then you have a number...

In my K10 I found loads of stuff including a brand new boxed set of K10 brake pads, a working disc steering lock, one used but good nick brake caliper, a Haynes manual, a new timing belt, a new air filter, a sponge and some kind of religous necklace, aswell as a couple of other non-K10 items...

High performance cars generally use cold plugs as those cars generate more heat. The difference is in the length of the ceramic sleeve you find on the plugs, cold ones have a very short sleeve hot ones have a longer sleeve. Hot plugs run hotter so they are often used in cars that are burning oil...

Yeah I've got some spray glue in the garage that I was planning to use for the top side, then for the underside I wasn't sure whether to use staples or screws. Think screws would be neater though, but obviously I'd have to screw them thru the wood batons rather than just the parcel shelf. The...

Cheers. I ordered the acoustic carpet yesterday afternoon, I have the wood and parcel shelf, gonna nip to town later to get the mesh. Head Unit SHOULD of arrived today but it didn't (grrrrrr) and unfortunately the speakers are unlikely to be in my posession until the weekend as the guy i bought...

Cheers arnold, appreciate your thoughts. Not had a proper look at it yet, but basically I was thinking about deepening the grooves that the normal parcel shelf has to sit on the pegs that hold it in place....hopefully that will lower it enough to make it flush. If I have to deepen them so much...

Cheers for the advice...might invest in a polishing kit if I can get results like that!

Thanks for the tips Arnold. Not sure if you missed the bit where I said I was going to use a sheet of mesh to put over the batons. The batons are purely there to support the mesh so that the mesh doesn't bow in the middle. The carpet will then go over the mesh so that there was no way it would...

Yeah I thought that poll was interesting, suprising how low mileage they all seem to have. I would just like to say I am not suspicious of the mileage in the 5 door at all, was just elaborating on what superls seemed to be suggesting. It seems like a nice car.

Wow. Shininess. How did you do that? if you don't mind me asking. I have a polishing wheel for my bench grinder, which with a bit of rubbing compound can bring stuff up to near chrome finish, but it can't get into the nooks and crannies unfortunately.

Dunno what the ####'s mean, but I think he is referring to the fact that the digits don't line up...a sign that it could have been clocked. Doesn't mean it definately has been clocked though. If I suspect a car has been clocked (I thought mine had been due to it's low mileage) I check the wear...

I love music, love it, and when I'm on my own in the car I enjoy listening to great music loudly whilst blasting down the lanes. However I do not want to everyone else to hear my 'pumping bass' and spending a lot of money on anything other than performance gains just upsets me! However the...

If you decide to go for your 3rd option, my best mate is selling his 400hp Efini RX-7 Type-R for £8,500 if you are interested. Wheels need to be resprayed (the guy my mate bought the wheels off did a rubbish job of spraying them), but other than that it's a great example.

I've gotta do mine next week, ordered a new Kenwood CD/MP3 HU and am ordering the speaker set up today or tomorrow. I'm not good with electrics at the best of times, but I know that one of the previous owners of my K10 made a right mess of all the wiring (I discovered this last weekend when I...

Well Datsun was discontinued in 1983 as far as I am aware...and Nissan was being used since 1982...so there was a change over period and during the change over, especially in europe, the cars were called things like "Nissan-Datsun Bluebird". Out of interest they were originally called DAT...

Some people seem to be more prone to static shocks than others. I read about it once, summat to do with their blood or something. This is gonna sound wierd but I drive lots of different cars regularly, without getting static shocks, but EVERY TIME I get out of a Toyota Yaris I get a really...

Couple of my mates have had Starlet Turbos, Kev Varley still has one, nippy lil things aren't they.
