this really is a small problem but i keep getting static shocks getting in and out of the car and its annoying the fook out of me , only happening the last 2 weeks and never happened before , anything i can check or do ?
 
Isn't there an earthing cable you can put at the rear to stop static building up? Haven't seen one in ages, kind of sh*t lookin!! Black plastic with a red bolt of lightening on it! Just has a metal contact between the car and ground.
 
It could be new shoes you are wearing or cheap nylon Y-fronts. :icon_nana: Try putting your hand firmly on a metal part of the car before your foot touches the ground,should help. :thumbsup:
 
Could be something as simple as a nail or something stuck in a tyre Or a damaged tyre
The earth strip doesn't have to be hanging off the rear put it off the front X member no one will ever see it

jesus thats a bit drastic , was hoping to hang onto it for few more years at least ,
 
Touch the car with tip of your key when getting out-that way the key takes the shock and static is dispersed

the scooby is my bling Ken :subaru:
 
I always have a static strip on my Impreza's for that reason Tommy but I place it mid way up the car not at the rear where its obvious. The only down side is you can hear it a little bit if you have the radio off but it works. :thumbsup:
 
Cheers Eric , its only started happening recently , the red rx was a pri*k of a car for doing it all the time but its only happening the last 2 weeks on the sti .
 
Stick your tongue out and close one eye, then pat your head 3 times whilst rubbing your stomach anti clockwise and say supercalafragalisticexbealadotious!

Should work :icon_headbang:
