sti pretender

The car use to be white ....... but a magic marker and many hours later, it's blue. Looks like a great day. Better wash mine for this Sunday

Roger Clark Motorsport best price I could find or Ebay.

Can you get these for a Classic and can you buy them online? Looking at discs and pads for the Type R.

Remember the budget prodrive have for their cars, plus a professional driver and a big test facility, so you'd expect them to win. Shows how good Andy and the car is when you consider all this.

Car is stunning Andy. Black one passed me last night and the noise was incredible.

That's a lot of car for the money, is this one going on a diet for Crail?

Might be worth a chat with your insurers if it doesn't affect your no claims then they will go after the hotel to recover the costs.

It is gear oil nice & clean and can tell by the smell. Really curious as to how this is happening.

Definitely oil as all over the wiring above the pedals and gearbox oil level is at half checked it before KH and was full. Only gauge in the car is the boost and no signs of any others ever being fitted. Hopefully get chance to look this weekend will post some pics of the findings as never hear of oil in the car.

Just wondered if this has happen to anyone else, got back from KH and found drips of nice clean oil on my trainers. Would appear to be the speedo cable, not had chance to get in behind yet but didn't know if this is common or known problem. Should say I have the converter fitted last year to change to MPH but never had a problem.

I'm the last white one in the video when you were behind the Bruces Taxi's Evo. Good vid, liked your dad's off roading.

I go the same today thought I'd grabbed 4th then realise I was under half a tank, topped the tank up and everything was ok again. Was only managing 5 lap stints as discs were warped. Great day and good to meet a few new faces. Think I'll concetrate on improving the handling as was catching the Lotuses on the straight but they were leaving me in the corners.

Has the P1 had a rebuilt as they have a habit of going bang around the 50k mark?

Thanks for the reply have passed them on. Have advise him best to get a members car as it will be looked after right and will have some history.

My cousin is looking at getting an Impreza as a weekend/track toy (wonder where he got that idea ) Anyway he's seen this at First Choice in Govan and wondered if anyone knew of this. Not been over to see it yet, seems a bit cheap but in the current market you never know. http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/c...icleRegLetter=K Thanks in advance for any response or thoughts.

STI also has a stronger gearbox if you go down the modding route (which you will). Suspension isn't to bad use mine as my everyday car and take the kids to school. Yes the cost a bit more to run and the drink more fuel but it's worth it.

Saw the car when it was at Hypertech looks good, like the colour coding under the bonnet.

Mandy's Merc is getting 4 new alloys due to bubbling, Warrant rep took photos yesterday phoned today to say the were ordering a full new set and nuts. Try the dealer first if no luck photos and a letter to UK warranty dept.

Andy thanks for tweeking the Type R at Hypertech car is running great again.

Thanks Rich will have a look.

Thanks to Hypertech and Mr F for sorting out the knock spike. Car had develop what I can only describe as a spike in the knock level ( highest was 85) over 6k revs on full load with occassional overboost. Duncan checked the simples things first fuel pump & replaced filter. Then ran injector cleaner in case the was a slight blockage. Still no luck so on the rollers, injector duty was fine but was running a wee bit lean top end. Tried a new Maf (best deal was Roger Clark) which brought the knock down to about 60. Duncan thought great were getting somewhere, smoke pressure tested the system and found a tiny leak in one of the vaccum pipes sealed the hole thinking this would sort it and level had gone back up to 80. Next injectors were taken out, 1 was slightly down but nothing to cause a problem, spray pattern wasn't great so a good clean and new seals. Car was put back together and left as AndyF was over a couple of days later to map a few cars. Andy checked the map and nothing had changed from when I had it mapped back in August. With the Apexi being eliminated Andy did a couple of runs in the car and tweeked the map and car was back to normal. Only explanation is it was a combination of things Fueling, Maf and a leak. Anyway all fixed so a happy chap. Until Duncan total me my coilovers are past their best. Going to have to break this one gentle to Mandy in the last month I've had Road Tax, Insurance, Mot, Hypertech bill, new Maf and new HKS exhaust.

What about "F478 ANA" FAT BANA. Always thought you'd get a V3 at some point but this is something else. Can't wait to see it in the flesh.

Ask Scott (SMA01) about AVA his car is now at Hypertech. Getting things done properly. Have used Duncan for most of my work on the Type R.
