aa ffs
All the recovery services are going to be pretty much the same, and they all use Local recovery collections if there own are not available. AA will always be the best however, since they are the largest with more Drivers, Trucks and local recovery services than anybody else, and therefore have a better record than anyone else. I've used the AA about half a dozen times in the past (never with either of the zed's) and have been pretty lucky, having been attended to in way under an hour in all cases.

Maximum Efficient Boost
If you fit the Injectors, then 16psi would be an efficient setup. I would'nt run 16psi on stock injectors. by 18psi the stock tubs are producing too much heat to be efficient, not to mention the shortened life span.

Sick to death of Welsh people......

what's it worth
Ignore ebay. Most the cars are dogs and most dont sell, rarely do they get to auction end without ending early or not meeting reserve. Very few people will buy a car directly of ebay, at the most they will go view it and buy privately, in which case you never know how much it went for.

Brakes
Mike @ MJP However, I believe you would be able to get a decent 2nd hand set of 30mm Calipers and Discs for much cheaper than new 26mm discs

what's it worth
Manual more desirable but 3k would be more the price of an low-average cond Auto TT, imo

Boost gauge reads .6
Factory guage is absolutely useless Im afraid. I've had 3 different sets of clocks in mine (for various reasons) and each has given different readings. Car should continue to accellerate pretty hard way past 130.....Standard top speed is around the 165-175mph region when derestricted (or 112mph jap and 155mph UK when restricted still).

thinkin about buying
Welcome :) no idea on the Impreza, but lighter with a smaller engine, producing less power, so I expect it would be better on fuel than the zed, although depends on engine efficiency and charateristics. I usually average 21-23 mpg mixed driving, but have had 32-33psi on long steady motorway runs. It will drop much lower when playing ofcourse.

Tyre pressure question ?
32 front , 35 rear Tyre size does'nt dictate tyre pressure. Its down to the weight of the vehicle. Stock recommendation is 33 front, 36 rear (I think)....its personal preference if you want to deviate from that a couple of psi either way.

Have I valued my Z OK?
Could always purchase yourself from MJP (about £100 each) and get any garage to fit, its not a big job (or fit yourself)

£3-£4k with Mot depending on condition.

laptop question
I doubt the Infra-red on laptop will have enough range. It differs to the IR found in remotes.

Tyres
Falken 451's Good price, and good performance Check http://www.mytyres.net Ofcourse if you can stretch the budget, then Goodyear F1's are outstanding (although its ofcourse preferable have the better tyres on the rear rather than the front)

Eibach Springs Query
The Fronts are progressive, the rears are'nt....so I presume they must differ. Mine came fitted to my new shocks so I did'nt really look.
