Hi guys, picked up my Scooby last night so just wanted to say 'hello' to everyone!

After weeks of travelling round the country looking at many Impreza's I finally settled on a Mica Blue Turbo 2000 4 door saloon, W Reg (2000) with 61,000 miles on the clock. Its standard apart from a full turbo back Mongoose S/S exhaust and Crystal headlights. After driving it home I can definately see what the fuss is about! What a car!

I'll get some pics up on here soon if I can find a way to do it?

 

Welcome to scoobynet mate.Your gunna get through some fuel over the next couple of weeks thrashing around in the new toy Rob.

 

ha ha yeah I think I should take out shares in BP! BP Ultimate in my area is 118.9

 

Noooooo stick V power in mate

Great, great cars.

Welcome to S-net btw.

 

Cheers mate, I look forward to drawing on people's knowledge in future.

Yeah I always use V-Power if possible, I had an FTO before and it always seemed to give a better performance, lasts longer and seems a bit cheaper than Ultimate too. Unfortunately my nearest Shell garage is 15 miles away from home though

 

failing that use Tesco 99 if you can

 

I've always been warned off supermarket petrol - is the tesco stuff any good then?

 

most people find Tesco 99 is better in their scoobs than BP Ultimate

 

Congratuations, seems like yesterday I got my std MY99, 3 years later, it's, er, well, no longer standard!

Tesco 99 generally regarded as next best thing to Vpower.

Get the car serviced at a recognised subaru specialist and drive sensibly and it will likely give you many years of trouble free motoring.

Enjoy!

I'll remember that, hate forking out for Ultimate when I know its not as good so cheers for the info

 

Yep

 

How often should I be looking to service it? I'll only be doing about 5000 miles a year

 

Once a year or just follow the service intervals, theres a biggy at 60k and 90k

 

Subaru say an interim i.e. oil change service must be done every 6 months or 7500 miles, whichever comes first, so you're going to need two a year even if you only do 5000 miles per annum mate. Big fuel/servicing/insurance bills are par for the course I'm afraid!

You can find the relevant service schedule on the website of Roger Clark Motorsports

Right ok, well after shelling out for the car itself i'd better get saving again for a service!

 

Might see you down at the local scooby meet at the bubble inn at Stenson nr Derby,normaly the first sunday of the month as your a local lad.

 

nice one, yeah I'll be there work permitting

 

Wallet at the ready,youll find your wallet empties as fast as your fuel tank when you hang about round here. Welcome to SN

 

yeah I think the trip to Paris with the Mrs may have to go on hold!

Cheers for the welcome

 

welcome no need to use v-power on engish spec i have had 3 and all ran well ordinary shell.
Enjoy

 

cheers for the info mate

you said earlier about servicing give these guys a ring Carnetix - The home of Saab and Subaru performance in the Midlands

They have looked after mine for the past three years with know problems at all
Have fun

 

Welcome to Scoobynet mate! Stick to V power, even if it is 15 miles away. Thats the exact distance I have to drive to get it as well, and it doesnt bother me.

To get pics up, simply go to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and open an account for free. Next upload whatever photos you want onto your account. When you've done that, they will all appear on the same page with 4 links underneath them as follows -
Email & IM
Direct Link
HTML Code
IMG Code

All you do is click on the bottom one "IMG Code"(which copies it ready to be pasted) Then right click and paste the link into your scoobynet comment box when your making a comment on a thread. You can paste as many photos as you like, one after the other, and when you submit your reply they will appear on the thread like so -


That should help

Welcome friend! Best cars on the road IMO. As stated, V-power all the way. I've now collected two sets of the crappy Mattel Ferraris Shell are giving away. Perhaps in a hundred years my as-yet-unborn son will be able to recoup some of the money I've spunked on petrol via the magic of Ebay.

It's an addiction.

 

LOL have you got to ask for those ferrari's from shell or are they supposed to give them to you? Spent sh#t loads on Vpower and not had a dickie??? Perhaps mine are on Ebay as we speak.

 

Cheers for the warm welcome and all the info. I'll get some pics of my baby up on here in the next couple of days (when I take a break from driving it!)
