johnnyr6 Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Good news tim, let us know how things are going now! My cars lying feeling sorry for itself with a cracked radiator at the moment, hopefully getting a new one tomorrow and hopefully get my zero sports grill fitted soon.
PEE ONE Posted November 26, 2003 Posted November 26, 2003 Tim, Nice to know that you got rid of your (old) Scooby. Whats the plans for a new one, tell all !!?? Have you heard me coming and going yet out of the car-park ? Had it de-catted recently with a Blitz Nur Spec R zorst fitted, and its LOUD!! Offshore at the moment. Kev
The Banker -) Posted November 26, 2003 Posted November 26, 2003 Yep - have heard it dude! Certainly sounds fine. Gis a shout soon as ur back, we'll go for that pint we keep tlaking about. No way I'm telling u whats coming (well I hope its coming, the cars down in Yorkshire and I have it on good authority that its coming up for sale early next year)- its a 2 door thats all I'm saying!! If it doesn't come off I'm going to go for a late model Sti type R
PEE ONE Posted November 27, 2003 Posted November 27, 2003 So its not a Type R then...mmmmm..is it a Skyline? I saw the way you looked at the skylines at knockhill Will get together for a Crimbo pint when I get home. Caz, i'm in the Forties Field mate
CAZ1562 Posted November 27, 2003 Posted November 27, 2003 So u with Apache ? I'm with BP down in grangemouth, looking after the offshore pipeline.
The Banker -) Posted November 27, 2003 Posted November 27, 2003 nissan!!!!! nope !!! scooby mate, only thing that might tempt me away from an Impreza would be an Evo, but I've never driven one. u ever had a go in one?
PEE ONE Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 No, never driven an Evo although I do like/respect them. Service intervals put me off one though. Caz, yep I'm an Apache man now. Great fun out here....not. Got quite a few ex-grangemouth lads here. Apparently we are getting some of your apprentices as well but 1 or 2 have went elsewhere. What trade are you? Not fancy offshore then?
CAZ1562 Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Hi Kev, I am in contact with the Unity crew quite a lot, Dave McDonald, Pete Cracknill, Phil Reed, Tommy McGarrity, Jason Towns to name a few. I've been with BP since I left school, 13 years now and served my time as a Mech fitter. Moved into Process in 95 since there were no jobs in my trade and have now progressed to Control Room Tech for the past 5 years. The ex-Gmouth lads I know are Dougie Clark & Stuart Wynd, don't know what Forties fields they were posted on but they only moved out in Summer 2003. I'd love a posting offshore but haven't seen any recent ones, got a knockback from Marathon in May 2003. Have also been tempted with Azerbajian & Middle East but not too serious. I already hold my OPITO Offshore certificate and have visited the Forties, Brae, ETAP & unity installations as well as Shearwater & Elgin when they were in construction.
dougster Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Another Dougie Clark!!!!!!! That makes three that I know of!!! One from Bishopbriggs(even has same middle name!!) and there is a guy in the caterham challenge races with same name!!
PEE ONE Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Caz, Know the unity crew you mentioned well. I have also spent quite a bit of time on the unity. They are recruiting here at the moment but would you leave your Bp job? (shares, shares and more shares). Apache still run similar share shemes though ie. 2 for 1. Let me know if you want any info mate.
CAZ1562 Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Mmmmm always interested Kev. Send info here please Dougster, Get used to it
CAZ1562 Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 Cheers Kev, will get mail on Sunday morning Off today to have the ECU re-mapped
PEE ONE Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 Where you getting the re-map CAZ. Let me know how you get on as I will be re-mapping early in the new year.
PEE ONE Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 P.S Nice new name Tim, The Banker. If you cough when you say it you could be mistaken for saying somthing else
CAZ1562 Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 Kev, A guy called Pat from London was up in Edinburgh for other business and I took advantage of this and got him to re-map my 1995 WRX. It cost me £250 and took a good 4-5 hours to make sufficient alterations in the correct direction. BTW - Thanks for the mail
jacqui_robb Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 To everyone in this thread..... Wishing you a belated merry xmas & wishing you a happy & healthy 2004 to you and ur scoobs!!! & a great night tonight - whatever ur doing
jacqui_robb Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 << Anyone heard from miss scoob sti lately? wonder if the list of goodies for her sti is getting bigger, c'mon jaq spill the beans what are we gonna have to do to catch that beast now? >> * "list of goodies".... * "...to catch that beast now".... who said i had a list of goodies?? u physic like I have a list of goodies that i want, but what i can afford is a different matter!!! New MAF sensor def needed, and the new clutch which was on the wish list, is now on the required list cos of all the err..playing..i was doing in the snow!! (although i choose empty car parks with no walls to play in!) Car back in2 my garage now! Although i'm going to be a true girl racer now cos i do have 1 new part already...my brother xmas presents = 1 gucci watch (requested) + 1 surprise present. Surprise present was...............................................................................................................pink neons for mr scooby! !!!!!!!!!
johnnyr6 Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 Pink neons a maf for your car should only be about £70 so at least that won't break the bank.
jacqui_robb Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 nope, it's things like adjustable coilovers that decrease the scooby funds!!
jacqui_robb Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 JohnnyR6 - where'd u get ur knocklink from? There's a group buy going on s.n. & was just wondering if it was a good buy or not? knoclkink g.b. Have dropped the coilovers from this years "list" and it's been replaced with GEMS (see...female = changes mind every day )
Kendo Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 Are you getting the anti lag mapped in too or just sticking with the launch control ? Don't know much about the GEMS but i take it the anti lag is an additional option ?
johnnyr6 Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 Jaq i got it from a guy on snet, he bought it for his 200sx but didn't fit it. I think they are about £130 to £150 new inc. the sensor.
jacqui_robb Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 JR6 - cheers. Kendo - have the guys phone number so gonna give him a call to find exactly what all extras i can have. going for gems ecu with re-map,etc + adj diff extra. gems details + group buy
