  1. Hi, Have you still got these? I'll take them if you have

    Decided!

    Agree with the above ^^^^ DBA 6 wiper grooved discs & DS2500 pads best combo for me. On both my previous Imprezza STi's they had the Std Brembo set up... not good ! on the first one I tried EBC Red stuff pads std discs they lasted no time, not much improvement but distroyed the dicscs quite sucessfully. Changed to the above vast improvement and will fit the same on the Zed shortly because if you have to haul it up in a hurry standard isn't that great by comparason as I found out when some idot decided to turn right on a dual carrageway.... from the inside lane
  3. Personally that is too much difference in my opinion. I used to run Impreza STi's and the standard 'acceptable' factory tollerance was similar to that stated above... just because its within tollerance doesn't mean its good, even though the dealer said 'yes its fine'... I used to get torque steer, lift off over steer 1 direction only & a skittish drive on B roads. Had the geometry completely set up so all wheels were at the correct settings and both on the same axle back & front were matched... transformed the car and handling, it felt totally planted, was like a different car all together. It may be ok for your average euro box to be set like that, but surely a 300bhp RWD sports car needs a little more accuracy? Only my humble opinion from experience of others. Having said that this is now the second zed & so far have had no tyre wear issues in the repect that you describe but did have some funny wearing on the rear of the original B'stones... put that down to wheel spin though!!
  4. Well zed nicely wrapped up in its blanket this morning....... Now I hear you ask why was it not put in the garage.. well cos thats where the 4x4 is some numpty put it away last night
  5. Need to shift some as its now taking up valuable zed space in the garage Have for sale 1. 6ftx3ft pine refectory table with 6 chairs, this was made for us some time ago from 'old' pine is antique waxed although we varnished the top for durability with the kids. This is solid legs are 6" square with turned sections, not the usual egg box pine 2. Low coffee table same style as above about 4ftx2ft 3. Original antique pine cupboard about 4ftx2ftx3ft high All would require collection. I'll sort some pictures soon.
  6. Heading from Warboys into Huntingdon 2 girlies onboard about 2.30ish didn't spot me.. too busy gas baggin I suspect
  7. Well I hadn't seen them before... maybe I need to get out more
  8. Oneliners Honestly some folk will take offence at anything, I met a bloke with no legs this morning while at the bus stop, all I asked was "How areyou getting on?" Paddy was in the delivery room when the midwife handed him a black baby. "Is this yours?" she asked "probably" said Paddy "she burns everything else" A gypsy girl sent an email to an agony Aunt "I am 12 years old and haven't had sex yet, do you think my brother is queer ?" My missus has just gone into hospital with 2 black eyes and a broken jaw! It seems we were on different wavelengths when she said she wanted decking on the patio Vicar booking into a hotel asks the receptionist "Is the Porn channel in my room disabled ?" "No" she replies "its just regular porn you sicko" A biker goes to the Doctor with hearing problems "Can you describe the Symptoms to me". "Yes.....Homer is a fat yellow lazy bastard and Marg is a skinny bird with big blue hair!!" And then there was my mate who'd just been fitted with a brand new hearing aid. "It's the best in the world", he said. "What type is it?", I asked and he said "ten past twelve". Drinking is Like Yoga, or is Yoga like drinking? Food for thought.

    OIL

    I use Silkolene Pro S 5-40 http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-1146-silkolene-pro-s-5w-40-ester-synthetic-oil-for-high-performance-engines.aspx
  10. Steve Wouldn't have spotted me, was in a Cayenne at the time.. half the reason you dissapeared so quick I'll keep the eyes peeled in the future I'm always using A505, M11 & A1 so if you get a flash or wave from a big silver truck.. or a night blue zed... it'll be me ..... yr cars looking good btw
  11. You feel safer in the golf.......... and you ride that bike !! contradiction in terms my friend Nice bike though I can't talk used to ride this...
  12. Dont see why not as long as they are the hubcentric type. why not the 20mm then? prob no real visable difference in 15 to 20 unless you line 2 cars together.....
  13. Not if you use the correct size socket & use the hexagonal type that grip on the flats Dont try to use the wheel brace either, it may be fine for the wheel nuts but not the spacer nuts as it will not fit in the nut recess.
  14. JDM blade about 5pm heading west on the A505 Nr Royston, you dissapeared swiftly
  15. Did mine up just like the wheel nuts used 110 N/m but also some nut lock compound on the threads, checked after 50 odd miles and still fine, also checked after 500 miles and still fine. Just make sure you clean the hub properly before fitting with a bit of emery paper and add a smear of copper ease for when you may want to take them off again if you sell the car.
  16. That'll be me this evening, heading to Boat show anyone spots me lets have a wave never seem to see anyone when I'm out & about in the zed
  17. Welcome mate.... Best not show those pics to my missus, she started with the Integra type R & now's on the zed.. dont think the bank balance can jump to the next step !!

    mpg??

    Ours is a 07 car with the 313bhp & Nismo exhaust. the missus gets av 27mpg to & from work evey time, mix of motorway there & country lane back. When I use it (if I can prise her out of it ) I generally get 22 on a blast, but on a run the other week to southampton so thats A1 / M25 / M3 / M27 at a mix of speeds using the power when I could & clearing off into the distance I got 30 mpg So in all I would guess with average driving mid 20's is real just depends on how big yr boots are Haing run Impreza's in the past, when asked what is MPG the answer was always... 'my petrols gone' the zed, my friend is a lot easier on the wallet Welcome to the site
