Couldn't of been me not painted my wheels dark yet, crappy weather is driving me insane.

Went along to a meet last night in Basingshite and parked up next to i think @bennno2005 182. Very nice RB made my 172 look filthy which it was lol

Add please :-)

Welcome to the club, count me in for a meet my folks live in basingshi*e so I know the area very well.

What is this ren tech everyone keeps going on about worth a visit from me?

All 3 of us being local to the south coast should get together and have a mini flamer meet lol :-) I did cruise past meet last night first TESCO then d-day car park which is mostly dug up then they moved elsewhere right shambles from the organisers.

Another flamer that if memory serves has a pop and bang map.

Goodridge hoses, 5.1 fluid and you stop on a penny out on track. Day to day town driving i found them a bit hit and miss sometimes they were great other times there was a bit of brake fade. Stripping my impreza down at the moment ready for yet another engine rebuild and its going to get put in a...

Funny how the anti lift kit adjusts the caster mines the same wheel sits closer to front bumper, I have used those pads before im sure of it good luck getting them to last more than 6 months lol

Davyy beat me to it but i do have a triangle shaped box under the tree so hoping its some deflectors :)

Shaft on the diff doesnt move so guess its the joint to the driveshaft. No noise from the gearbox doesnt whine or crunch or anything just leaking oil from the shaft seal. I had the car on the ramp late last night in the garage looking for where the oil is leaking from.

It's literally up and down only by a few mm but it's still moving enough to let oil past the inner seal.

Cheers for the helpful information, so all in all my oil seal has gone but I do have movement on the shaft so expected the bearing to be at fault. Seeing as it's going to be a rebuild to sort I may as well buy a recon 182 box and bolt that in.

Anyone know if the bearing behind this seal is easy enough to replace as looking at diologys its a tapered bearing so im thinking it should be an easy replacement.

This is great used the 172 everyday this week for work filled up with £39 of shells finest and done so far this week 209 miles and still have just under 3/4 of a tank left. This Clio lark for daily use I going to save me mega bucks compared to my Impreza.

That may be the case but it came on the car when i bought it so its staying. It would get my personal plate otherwise.

Been using the car for the last week and attended a little mini meet at a local pub with the scooby club and I'm happy to report a lovely traffic officer doesn't see the issue with my plates as it's clear to read. As he said to us in the car park there is a fine line with plate styles, fonts...

Seriously needing new tyres up front with all this rain, bad time to pull my Impreza off the road lol. Anyway was running Toyo's on the scooby and they have seen over 5k miles of daily abuse and still going strong. Do I go for them on the 172 or change to something like the uniroyals or yoko s...

Done well, almost looks identical to my Impreza when that let go. From the look of it I would speculate a combined effort of detonation and the valve letting go.

Bought my nipper Fallout4 for his birthday last week and it seems i spend more time when he is asleep playing it than he does lol

@Davyy Did you manage to refresh your shocks, im more than happy with the new OE shocks on mine handles great, just need new tyres for better grip.

New numberplate light and fitted my club sticker to rear screen.

For the technical ones that like to be PC refer to dvla INF104 page 9 which clearly states the below copied rules directly from VOSA. They may be 'Illegal' but as the software used to print the plates at work are formatted by Vosa which will not allow for silly plates to be made with incorrect...

Its down to Officers discretion i have read the number plate law rules inside out and its spaced as per Vosa rules and regulations (i work in the industry) if they want to be technical its upto them but i see worse spaced plates everyday day of the week.

Confirmation letter from DVLA she will be taxed and on the road from the 16th this month, then the Impreza comes off the road and the 172 upgrades and subtle mods begin. Plate came on the car when i bought it and will stay on the car until i either buy a Liquid yellow 172 or win the lottery to...

Had a pair of new plates made up courtesy of work with the spacing i required looks loads better

My WRX blobeye wagon is running decent enough power and is my daily drive only get low 20mpg. work commute is 23miles total each day and i average out about £60-£70 of Optimax a week. Doesnt make a bit of difference if you buy a standard model or a mildly tuned Impreza PLEASE budget in a Remap...

Rotated its the way forward :up::up:

Best thing to do with the 2.5 is get the block machined to make it closed deck. Most people with 2.5 forged and dont have too many issues but making the block stronger reduces the risk of the liners wobbling. Common problem cylinder 3 melts due to not having parallel fuel rails i learnt the hard...

Its flying the F-35 or warthog that has got me stuck at the moment maps seem to small to make use of them without crashing lol
