Hi All,
I have posted an official welcome in the main intro section of the forum. But just to cap it up - I have bought a 2001 S-Turbo few weeks ago and have been enjoying the car for the last week. It is in a pretty good condition but being a 9 years old has its little gremlins...
I am based in SW London Colliers Wood and have been enjoying a Foz spotting since owning my own car
Quite a few cars around but doubt all of them are here.
As much as I would like to mod the car and free its detuned engine I can't afford it at the moment. I bought the car for its practicality, off-roadish capabilities, AWD and the looks (and being a bit of a car nut for the pace). I will be using the car to transport wife and a soon-to-be-born kid between the UK and Poland where I am originally from.
Having had a proper look at the car only after buying it

I noticed few problems.
The muffler section of the exhaust is quite coroded and will probably need replacing soon. I looked around here to see what poeple do but it seems everyone is installing an aftermarket performance parts. Any idea how much a factory rear box is? And a lontg shot - anyone has one laying around :biggrin: ?
I noticed the clock is not working and a radio doesn't work on an aftermarket unit (CD works fine but no radio - could be the unit's fault).
My car is missing the passenger side headlamp washer so will have a look around for that.
I hope to meet some of you on the roads and possibly at a meet or something. I am a member of another car club and they meet quite regularly. In fact, from the other club's perspective, buying a Subaru was like crossing to the dark side of the force for me :starwars:
Sorry for a long post,
Tomasz
