kevlorn Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 evening all.. stinger, hope the scoob gets repaired up to A1 standard,and the cameras you have look pretty good,at least you have access to them from any pc.. Link to comment
stinger Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 yer its looking pretty good, i really went over and had a look just to see how thorough they were being with removing various trim during the respray (the metal trim on the roof gutters was a particular concern) but they seem to be giving it a proper job. i was pretty glad i insisted on a spray, i know some peeps think im mad but i was thinking of... subaru paint jobs are crap, well know we get more stone chips than is normal a new car is sprayed by robot, a respray isnt!

Stinger. Glad to hear alls going well with the respray Something you might want to check is about compensation from your insurance company. My father had an RTA in his car and it got repaired costing about the same as yours. He brought up a question to his insurance company saying that "yes the car has been repaired but know its worth less than a car of similar age, Millage and Trim level etc etc etc.. his insurance company looked into this and paid him £2000 as they said that would be the difference... Something you might want to look into.. after all we pay stupid amounts for things we should at least try for extra from them Can't remember what its called but that should help you understand what I'm saying Hope to see you at the next meet Link to comment
scooby-22 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 morning everyone, i got the car started lastnight but it was steaming/smoking i think its just the heat wrap on the headers and up pipe drying out! I also spilt some coolant on the up pipe whilst fitting the turbo so i am hoping that it is this just burning off and not a coolant leak anyone had this before? Link to comment
jd Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 morning marc sounds like the heat wrap drying, stinks of candyfloss. Link to comment
scooby-22 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Morning JD, Yeah thats it, i will take it for a spin tommorrow after work and see what happens. All i have to do now is fit the fuel pump then get it remapped next fri Link to comment
jd Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 mine stank for ages, will smell abit when wet aswell. who is mapping it for you? Link to comment
scooby-22 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Noboby said about that when i bought them Im going to Powerstation up Glouster way, its only an hour away, I looked at Engine Tuner down ur neck of the woods but its just a little too far. Hows your motor? Link to comment
jd Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 if going to Powerstation, dont go upstairs to PowerSupply or your wallet will get very light. Mine is ok, still holding onto clutch. Will look into replacing in new year now as no rush. Link to comment
scooby-22 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I think that might be my nxt 'thing to do' along with anti roll bars, drop links! Where does the line end???? Link to comment
jd Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 and Powerstation are very good with suspension, have a chat to Curtis. The list never ends.......I am hoping for a new engine next year, fingers crossed. Link to comment
scooby-22 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 All the money in the world and we would still change things, upgrade parts or just change things because we could Link to comment

pezza_no1 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Yeah had the same with mine when I put headers on it and wrapped them. It steams like crazy when you first start up, and when it's just as bad when it's warming up. Must really get on and get a remap on mine soon as well but just seem that either I never get the time to book it in or I've spent the money on something else Need to win the lottery I think Link to comment
edmondo Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Need to win the lottery I think Me first lol Link to comment
