New Member Old NESF subaru - highly recommended forum by member aaron kemp

hello guys and girls just a quick thread to introduce myself my names Stephen and im from Hartlepool i DO NOT take offence to the term 'monkey hanger' im a firm fan of the story although it does make us lot look fairly stupid.

Has to be said that im very impressed so far with the forum not what i was expecting there seems to be a lot of older subaru drivers and reading through the threads theres a lot of knowledge and experience here.

so here goes, I bought a wrx yesterday its a black blobeye wrx reg is CF03 XCJ with a big NESF sticker in the back window just wondering if anybody has any previous history on this particular car seems to be a nice solid car, currently in the early running in stage post rebuild.

that being said iv been doing a lot of research on the best way to run a new engine in opinions vary dramatically some say boot it and some say takes it easy just wondering what peoples thoughts are on this.

any advice, comments, background of the car and welcome messages would be gratefully received

thanks in advance

Welcome to NESF Ste, there are a lot of scooby owners from Hartlepool on here, as for raining in its best to keep it under 3k revs, no mare than half throttle and lots of short journeys will plenty of acceleration and deceleration, roads with plenty round-a-bouts in are ideal for run in.

I am sure on of the pool lads will be along to point out who's car it was, any photos would be helpful as I am no good with reg numbers lol

as requested

thanks for the warm welcome jonny

No probs Ste, that looks like a very nice example, what seats are in it?

Just standard WRX ones I think. I will double check that when I pick it up il get a load of pictures uploaded comments/suggestions would be very welcome

Welcome to NESF from a fellow monkey hanger!

Now Ste think I've seen you about are you over marina a lot

Welcome aboard Ste   

The Reg looks familiar, where did you pick it up from?

I'm sure you'll feel at home on the forum, there's quite a few members here who are also chimp chokers

Is that where you hang out with all the sailors Dave?   

Welcome to the forum Ste - I am sure you will find all the help you need on here and all we ask in return is a sense of humour - which I see you already have

Welcome to the forum mate I to am pretty sure I have seen that reg kicking about but can't be sure

Welcome mate. I'm sure that car was for sale on here a while ago, it had after market bits on and took bits off and put it back to standard ish to get more money. Could be wrong like.

Welcome ste mate glad you managed to got on the forum.

I'm sure a guy from station lane in Hartlepool had it I can't remember his name lol but their is no longer one out side his house he dint come to that many meets

thanks for all the welcome messages guys much appreciated there are some fantastic cars on here very much looking forward to turning up at the next meet.

i must say im loving the subaru appreciation nods/waves etc that you get from other owners never experienced anything like that before.

KGT if you could find the old advert that would great, thankyou !

as for the aftermarket parts there are a few bits such as boost controller 20G turbo lowered on 30mm springs uprated fuel pump air filter dump valve turbo timer and a 6 paddle racing clutch (takes a little getting used to)

thats pretty much all i know about the car so far
