Its definitely better, no question. However, I thought there might be a more noticeable improvement in power tbh.

Still all good though

And anyway, it might just be me - I haven't had much time to drive it yet anyway.

No sorry, chucked the receipt out yesterday. I gave the parts bloke my chassis number and everything, and he still said that it could be one of two. However, the other one was a fair bit smaller so I went with the bigger one and it was the right part.

Nothing planned this Saturday here Phil... I'll pm you my number later.
Bring it down and we will wrap it up

I've got some jubilee clips that are just the job as well so no need to buy any of those

Using SHG in Bridgend, they did my servicing on my last scoob and are very knowledgeable - apparently do a lot of Imprezas around here.

They are also going to fit my new clutch soon for £200.

Silver Scoob - you got one on yours? If so whats it like!!?
hello fella i had my clutch fitted in shg in bridgend ap racing organic clutch
they quoated me £200 quid, they had the car for five days they couldn'tget
third gear , they didn't bleed the clutch fluid,charged me for a c,v joint and they only changed the boot which still leaks greaseand the clutch has never been right since, i wouldn' take a push bike there,do yourself a favour and go to someone who knows what they are doing. chris.

Eek! Car was with them last week, and they did oil change and fitted my new downpipe - all ok.

Don't like the sound of that though! Quoted me 220 inc. changing the fluid? Hmm, ok thanks for the info. I have the clutch, need it fitted pronto - recommend anyone else?

Powerstation in Tewkesbury, takes about an hour and 20 minutes from Cardiff. Their hourly rate is a bit lower than a main dealer (~£50/hour) but they do a top job and are good people.

Glad to hear you took the time to rap it, it al helps towards cutting down the heat soak, is this the start of the up slope or dwn slope.. .. ..
