CustomScoobyIOM Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 ROFL!! He quickly puts the brick on the accelerator hold hands on the horn and leans out the window flashing the lights!! ROFL!!
Boxer23 Posted March 4, 2004 Author Posted March 4, 2004 I've been told by my quiet, shy, subtle, unimposing, demenour I sometimes don't get noticed.
Cret Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 I sit in mine sometimes, gripping the steering wheel, making pretend engine noises & waving, but no-one drives past the garage door. Bah! Hopefully those days will be numbered....
dooahhdoo Posted March 5, 2004 Posted March 5, 2004 PMSL@Cret. I can just imagine it........ nerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ptschhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ptschhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh LOL
Cret Posted March 5, 2004 Posted March 5, 2004 Hopefully get the compression tests done this weekend if I can, then if the numbers look bad I shall commence engine removal procedures without further ado. Not sure exactly what stuff needs removing in order to remove it so I'll probably end up taking out far too much. Have a haynes book but it's as much use as a chocolate fireguard - these days they mostly say things like 'Engine removal - consult your local dealer' etc.
Dave K Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 << Hi all - names Jon... Second week with my MY04 WR Blue Mica STI TYPE UK 43MN >> Hi Jon, came out of Mount Murray last night and found yours parked right next to mine. Lovely car mate.
enCrypt Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 I also keep seeing a very nice looking new age STi (think an MY03) which is JMN 56 or similar. Usually parked around the financial area of town, and has a Graham Goode sticker on the back right hand side. Any ideas? Also noticed the guy down the road from me with the RB5 has a new exhaust too! Heard him rumbling past the window a few times last couple of nights!! Good Lad!
CustomScoobyIOM Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 That Graham Goode one has 400bhp i think.
Dave K Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 << Also noticed the guy down the road from me with the RB5 has a new exhaust too! Heard him rumbling past the window a few times last couple of nights!! Good Lad! >> He's just fitted a Blitz NUR with decat down pipe, thats why. Now the question is was it BUNG IN or OUT. LOL
Boxer23 Posted March 10, 2004 Author Posted March 10, 2004 Should have gone for the CustomScoobies TFL system instead!
CustomScoobyIOM Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 Or one more to the extreme! Hows about the CustomScoobies TFL Extreme System. Feckin hell thats painful.
enCrypt Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 "He's just fitted a Blitz NUR with decat down pipe, thats why. Now the question is was it BUNG IN or OUT. LOL " How dya know who Im taking about then Dave?! More importantly how do you know where I live???!!! (Had to be BUNG IN I think, wasnt much louder than mine)
Dave K Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 Hi Mark, hows it going? I dont know where you live, but must be only RB5 on island but if not he just posted on scooby net that he had just fitted it.
Jimmy Mc Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 Apologies for my long absence. I'm Jimmy, I drive a white '96 WRX and my reg no. is J 571 MAN Cheers Guys
CustomScoobyIOM Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 Tut tut tut. Whats happenned to you mate? DUDE! Oh wrong thread
enCrypt Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 Ahh right! Post the link and I'll see if its the same guy... Also theres at least two RB5s over here, ones got R85 in the reg, others got R86 or similar I think. Also this morning I saw a VERY nice looking white Type R, very tidy indeed, reg was MAN 1555. Looked like Steve Colleys old one but I think thats got 666 in the reg...
Kristan Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 Who's got the lovely one with a K199 plate parked on the prom most days? Sonic blue V5/6ish I think, looks very tidy indeed.
Boxer23 Posted March 12, 2004 Author Posted March 12, 2004 Yep, all these tasty motors have been spotted on Manx roads by Boxer23. Saw the white STI Type-R (MAN 1555) last weekend in Castletown. There's an RB5 at Ballasalla Police Station owned by resident copper Adrian Cannell, who says he's selling the thing as it's too scary compared to his usual runaround, a Honda Accord Type-R.
