They won't replace it if it's not faulty.

You can just walk into a Toyota dealership and buy some. Good oil costs money, I wouldn't skimp on it, especially so if you are still under warranty.

I think a lot have used TD simply because they have well proven package so it makes it a one stop shop and the results obviously speak for themselves with one of the best available manifolds on the market. It also helps for me that their workshop is around two miles away from where I work in Warrington, so very convenient too. The top three of the N1 TSS class all use TD manifolds and remap. All said and done Mark at Abbey has a huge amount of experience and is a lot closer. You'd just need to source a manifold for them to fit. I guess it's possible to get the TD manifold (highly recommended) and get Mark to fit and do the remap for you.

The ARB's were an issue. Not really blaming the springs, but I wasn't impressed by the ride. It seemed mismatched to the damping.

And don't forget there is a fair amount of gravel at Donington.

I've ridden in, driven a few cars with lowering springs, I've not been impressed by how it doesn't match the damping. I'm not sure what springs Litchfield use in their 'handling' kit, but they are not good. Litchfield really seem to know how to ruin handling but that's another story. I'd always go for coilovers. I've been really happy with TEIN Streetflex running custom spring rates of 5/6kg and EDFC Active Pro. Not cheap for the whole setup but they have been brilliantly reliable in the 80K miles I've had them on and the EDFC has been totally faultless. It depends what you want really. If you want looks then springs will suffice. If you want to move the handling up a level then decent coilovers are will achieve this over lowering springs with the fairly unimpressive stock dampers.

It's simply cosmetics over the stock car. But if you like the body kit then that's reason enough. The exhaust is very quiet and barely any louder than the stock one really, so you'd want to play with that really. The seats are an option. All were fitted at Portbury Docks in the UK.

I think it's just you. Mine has collected a few chips in 111K miles, but still doesn't need replacing.

I would say don't be put off by a wet day. It can and often happens. You'll learn more in the wet, use less brakes, less tyres and less fuel and you will develop your car control more. See it as a bonus! When you're ready, the best tracks are, Cadwell, Donington and Oulton. I will definitely be at Oulton or Donny in May as I have to take the MiL out for some rides. Will post up when I know.

It's up to you of course. If it was me I'd get them on the right way round.

Yep, just checked my pics!

You may have a point! Yes, obviously my off side. @Ade is right. Your's look to be on the wrong way round.

@Adi. Took about a week and a half to get mine. I don't know about clearance with the wheels you've chosen. My 17x8 ET38 TE37's have a huge amount of clearance past the calipers. Probably over an inch. This is why I thought they'd be fine with stock wheels, though I've not tried them.

@Ade. Mine are the same way round. It's right.

You won't notice any difference really in this respect.

Really? Looks like it has loads of clearance on my TE37's. Thought it would fit under a stock wheel? If not change your wheels. Stock are horrible anyway, or put some spacers on for now? @will300 thought this kit did fit under stock wheels?

Nice, you'll love the brakes. It only takes 20 minutes or so to bed them in. I did mine at night on a quiet dual carriageway. Once you can smell them, you're done.

Get it from here, much quicker and they do the cheaper option of their discs which are non floating and it comes in at £1500: http://www.reyland.co.uk/subaru-impreza/ This is where I and others got ours. I note the setup in the pic of your link has non floating discs so you may as well save £500.

Just remember this is England, we are not he 52nd state!

Rockingham is a pretty easy, though not an interesting circuit. I used to work for Bookatrack some 15 years ago, you're in good hands as far as track day organisers go there. You don't have to get anywhere near the wall there either unless you want to, so I would say that is a non-issue. You'd only come close to it on the exit of one corner anyway. It's fine even if it's wet there is loads of run off in most places. As a circuit I don't rate it, but it's fine as a first time out to get some experience.

Welcome aboard, I hope you find the club useful.

Good luck with that, looks like a lot of work. Are you sure the chassis legs aren't bent? Worth checking on a jig just in case. 'Wings' not 'Fenders'!

It's a wild guess at best. If it's under warranty get them to look at it I would say.

Input shaft issue? Sounds a bit loud for a release bearing!

In reality there isn't much in the way of 'upgrades' with the Zenki cars, so I'd say not. I'd go more on condition than anything else and of course if you are buying a car that is nearing the spark plug (60K) or fuel filter (80K) service that it has been done or you get a discount off the price for it. It's also a bonus to not have a TPMS on the pre-2014 cars.
