Very nice car m8,
i dont know why but impreza's have all ways put a smile on my face even just by looking at them.

I took it to a garage in Newbury called Subaru4U. Bit of a trek but they did a good job on the car. They were about £150 cheaper than a main dealer for the 60k mile service. They also gave the car a good going over to make sure the accident repair centre did a decent job and sorted a few problems out when I stacked it
Also they put better spark plugs in (NGK 7's or something) and an STI panel filter (which Subaru dont use as a standard part). You'll need the better spark plugs when getting the car remapped.
When I used them they seemed to have a decent reputation on Scoobynet. They were the closest specialist in the area. The closest main dealer is Subaru Twyford.
NGK PRF7Bs as a guess? Subaru use the PRF6Bs, which are adequate to 350, but getting a little overstretched at 400.

I use Fuchs Titan in my 200sx which you can get from opie, pretty much the same as silkolene but not as many additives but it is significantly cheaper.

Len (and Mark) did most of the work on my Scoobs over the years. Knowledgeable chap and very good customer service. Tell him Bartop says hello
I just ordered a full set of Eagle F1 Assymetrics off an ATS Euromaster near me.
From everything I've read they are great tyres, it was a choice between those and the Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas anyway. I don't think you can really go wrong with either.

What rating are the tyres on the car at the moment? Match them
91Y but it has crappy Re050 tyres anyway, ive just ordered the 91Y's @ £85 each
These were my thoughts, Tom from here reccomended the sessantas but ive allways had Goodyears so really wanted to try the Eagle F1 Assymetrics
Should arrive tomorrow
Im also thinking of swapping the wheels around so the goodyears are on the back, think i would prefer understeer than oversteer at the moment + its an excuse to wear the re050s down quicker

I wouldnt if I were you, best to have the best tyres upfront where the steering of the car is taking place. The tyre wear on scoobs is pretty even on all 4 tyres.
