You may be able to fit a bolt on rear wiper hole plug thing from a poverty spec 106...

I've liberated 2 from Persley but they're currently in use.

I'll keep and eye out for another.

You should maybe buy a new front reg plate also... that one just gives the police an excuse to pull you over (if one was ever needed).

Legally you need a 11mm gap between the first/last digit and the edge of the plate.

I'm a bit wary of it...just with it being so much bigger than what I'm used to....
but it does seem a lot more planted and a lot less twitchy than the impreza....and I've had that out on track with no probs

after a few track days it should be fine....just hope it's not raining on the first one

got one booked for next Sunday...and then I'm taking it to a SIDC track day the following saturday....so I'll get lots of practice! hehe

not sure why but I always percieve the 32's to be really hard to drive, suppose with loads more power it would be a bit more tricky

Good luck on the track days

will take it easy the first few times..... ish

changed the oil for 10w60 Castrol fully snth today.... it was fucking manky

Topped up the brake and transfer box fluid.

Cleaned the brakes.... couldnt get the calipers off but gave the a spray with penertrant so i'll try again when its getting new pads. Had the pads out and gave them a clean.... car stops a bit better now. Will need to drain fluid and fill/bleed with 5.1 when new pads are here.
