    How much did the tyres set you back? I'm a long way off needing mine, but by the looks of it I'll have to start the hunt well in advance!

    I think this was before your time.
    Himself and another lad (poster?) bought it from another lad that use to post here and AFAIK have been turning it into a touring car for the ITCC.

    I haven't seen much news of work on it in the last while but I'm sure we'll be find out more soon enough! :)

    Some people are just ass!

    I went early in the morning for hair cut and when I parked a car it was completely empty! You could park anywhere!
    I come back and I see one single car in car park and parked next to my car. Like wtf?!?!

    it looks way nicer with no spoiler. this picture does not do it justice though, i took it only to show some peoples lack of brain work. few pages ago there are more pictures of it.

    Parking right beside the pay meter was your mistake. Always going to get someone parking beside you once your that close to the meter ;)

    out of intrest, my car has a "3 way graphic equaliser" incorporated into a very post sony xplod stereo :P

    i get 3 settings ("lo", "mid", and "hi")... how do i set those to get good bass and trebble? tried lots of combinations but they all sound ****.

    generally i set the bass to full, or almost full and the trebble just slightly lesser than full too. cant find a good setting on this stereo though.

    i was looking to park that way so only one car could be on my side. ( in case it will get very busy in that 40min time... :rolleyes: ). next time i will try to avoid pay points too lol.
    still managed to park up next to me with lots of space around me... ffs...

    It'll be as much to do with your speaker setup as the stereo in that case.

    can you fade the bands between the front and rear speakers? (do you even have rear speakers?)

    If you want bass your best bet is to put a Sub in, remove the bass from the existing speakers nearly altogether and have them for mid/high range stuff, leave the bass to the Sub. Over saturating stock speakers with Bass is always going to end up with bad sound.

    i have faded out the front speakers completely because they were terribly weak, there is two nice kenwood speakers in the rear, not sure of the details of them.

    the sound always sounds very "tinny" or wear if you get me. i've had many cars and never had a problem being satisfied with the sound quality before just by turning up the bass ans trebble slightly.

    have no intention of spashing out on subs and ****e like that :pac:

    Subs arnt that dear, you can get a set... Like, sub, amp and wires from halfords. Or you could take the secound hand route, dd would have ads up of "chaps" wanting to get rid of the subs ect.

    I find it way more nicer with no spoiler, like I said before.
    In fact that what I planed to do if I would not get the classic blue/yellow impreza.
    It's just that spoiler got so in to peoples head, that imprezas look very weird without it! It's like 1.4 civic with no type r body kit on it! :D
    That picture really does not do it justice. That arse looks great with no coffe table on it! :D
