Topics I've Started

I hate choosing Tyres.... Choices, choices...

10 August 2013 - 11:05 PM

So its time for some new tyres for the scooby and I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to get.

 

I probably do 1200 to 1400km per month, of which 1/3 is around town, and 2/3 is on the open road.

No track work, but I do appreciate grip, wet and dry. 

 

Done the rounds of the local tyre places yesterday and as always got conflicting advice so hoping you guys can tell me if these tyres are good, great or crap.

(Prices are each, fitted and balanced, disposed - 205-55-16)

 

Bridgestone RE002 $200

Bridgestone MY02 $145

Pirelli P1 $150

Kuhmo KH18 $129

Yokohama Blue Earth $153

 

 


USB port stopped working

20 April 2013 - 11:49 AM

Morning all,
All of a sudden the USB port in my Impreza R MY11 stopped working.
Anything I plug in to it is not picked up by the stereo, and the iPod and iPhone don't pick up that they are connected to anything either.

Now I have done the obvious thing of testing with two devices and with another known good USB cable.

Where should I look from here?
Is there a fuse for that port?

Fuel choice - E10 or not?

23 October 2012 - 11:28 PM

I've steered clear of ethanol fuels in the past but prehaps its time to revist that decision.

Has anyone on here compared the performance and economy of various fuels (E10, 91, 95, 98) in an Impreza R ?
I do quite a few k's so I'm intrested to see if E10 may bring some benefits to the scooby.

Any thoughts or experiences anyone wants to share?
