What did you do to your car today?
- Thread starter sligo_dave
- Start date
Adam fire up that question in technical section it will get answered better but best to include forester mode year jdm or uk and what kinda use the car gets ie track days or daily driver ect..
So I bought my first impreza at the start of the year and i've been doing bits and pieces with it ever since. I always wanted a classic but unfortunately they are starting to get on a bit now. Firstly the brakes were awful so I decided to change the discs and pads. When I went to put the discs on i discovered one of the calipers on the front was seized so I got these refurbished and put on brembo discs allround. Next she was off to Dave at Sti tuning to get the rocker cover gaskets replaced as these were leaking and to solve a boost issue which turned out to be a cheap ass silicone boost pipe which was collapsing under pressure and restricting boost. Top job from Dave naturally. I also got a pair of 'blocks' from Dave to go on the rear bumper as the previous ones had fallen off and left a nasty mark on the bumper. So last week I put godspeed kevlar pads on allround. And yesterday I got around to polishing and waxing the wagon and putting on my isdc disc holders and sticker. Great site lads fair play

Thats a nice wagon there I love the original wheels very nice indeed
Added a 2nd baby seat to the wagon on for my 2nd son Evan born tuesday gone, he took his 1st drive in a subaru yesterday, also now that the panic was over I could sort out the rear pads as they where starting to sound a bit rough, picked up pads today and got some advice of baz as iv never done the rear pads so wasn't to sure if a wind in tool was needed, 10 minutes start to finish couldn't of being any easier but I was kind of shocked at the pads that came out, both pads on the inside of the callipers where down to the metal and the out side ones had prob half left on them, the callipers are not seized and pushed in nice and easy any idea why they would be like that?
but have to look into discs for the handbrake
