That does look like a lovely bit of kit there.

Very nice! :+:

If anyone needs a place to stay we can accommodate one or a couple.

Okay I'm in, but have an alcoholic afternoon to survive at the Xmas markets in Manchester in the afternoon!

Still no remote on mine! That would be nice, but I think it's more to do with the physical size of the wheel and not having the room for buttons. However, they could have stuck a stalk on the steering column. May be that is a way forward?

It's not really the snow, it's the low temps. What I'm finding is that my winter tyres (on last Friday) seem to be horrible if the temps are over about 8C, but tend to generate grip where the Primacy's feel like their on ice in lower temperatures. This does seem to be the case in recent days when the temp has been as low as freezing. Conditions have been cold, damp and greasy and the winter tyres do seem to be more grippy and surefooted. Time will tell and I'll write up more about them in due course once I've managed to experience the more severe weather where I hope they'll offer a significant advantage.

£400? I'd be tempted, but didn't you buy custom spring rates?

Maybe a good time to switch to winter tyres? Mine went on last weekend. Need it to be cold though to get the most out of them. It will be soon.

Ooh happy birthday! :+:

OEM oil will do just fine.

Very cool. :+:

Absolutely. I guess whether you like Apple products or not, the iPod is the best integrated music player when it comes to car audio.

Looks like a good mod. :+:

Take another cold reading before you start to worry.

Cannot make my mind up about the wing. Think it is probably a bit too exuberant for me.

I'm not sure if it's any help, but I tended to find (this was in a MK1 MR2SC) that I could enter Eau Rouge at just shy of 115mph. However you have to run the left curb. Then I could carry about 100mph out at the top of Radillon. Had to keep my foot to the floor though. This was pretty much the same in the wet and dry. In the wet it was trickier at the top but the grip is huge under compression on the way up.

Hmm quite like the idea of this. I guess this means a cat will be needed in the secondary cat position?

Yes.

Yep, the last Impreza was pretty bad. None of them are exactly pretty, but this new one looks like it's partially melted.

If it really looks like this: I think they should get an award for designing the ugliest car in years. Is it just me that thinks it looks truly awful? It's the sort of thing I'd expect the Chinese to come up with!

Great stuff, glad you enjoyed it. Eau Rouge is something else isn't it? So, too, Pouhon, which is very aptly name. Look forward to the pics. :+:

Looks lovely, Jeff. Sorry I didn't get a chance to talk to you on Saturday, was a bit of a mad social and there were a lot of people to see! I really like the wheels and I like it that you've stuck to 17's. Also think the 25mm drop works really. Good stuff. :+:

That is making a fair old racket there. The noise inside is just bizarre. I guess take it back to your dealer and get them to sort it.

He probably thought we were talking about wine. :tongue:

Sounds like Blanchimont, a fast 100+mph left hander before the bus stop. I take it you know which one is Eau Rouge? :tongue:
