Thanks Alastair

A good selection of prizes so for and a month to go. :waving-santa:

Only 6 places left so get your names down. Dale a few photos would be good for our article in True Grip.

I had an overboost problem that only happened at full boost, there was a crack in the induction hose to the turbo, you couldn't see it it only opened at full boost caused overboost and a massive knock spike. Duncan at Hypertech only found it using a smoke test under pressure. Might help to list what you have tried to score them of the list. Robert

Chris did you not tell Andy you break it you buy it. Hope everything is ok with the car. Matt's GTR was very impressive especially against the bike, other quick car was that Black MR2, kept him for half the strip and then it just went like stink. Kids had a ball as usual they prefer Crail to Kames because you go fast, speed junkies or what. Sorry I never got a chance to chat, was to busy having fun and trying to work out my best launch. Robert

Cold and sunny today so perfect conditions. I mananged to get into the 12's, Mandy says one of my terminals was 108 so can't wait to see my times. I think Chris had a problem with the car, I know AndyF did 2 runs in it but don't know times. I'm sure Chris will be along to update us.

For paypal my email address is robert@rmallan.fsnet.co.uk

I'll be up tomorrow, looking forward to seeing the WL at full power.

A really great prize donated by Steve Whitson of SW Motorsport.

Thanks for contacting them Peter.

I'll drop off a book tonight.

I'm hoping to make it along, see if I can get in the 12's

Find the best price for the kit and see if Duncan at Hypertech will match it, if not buy it and get him to fit them. They also can do a full geometry setup which will greatly improve the handling.

Had BC's on my 06 STI and found they couldn't be adjusted to the standard ride height (may have changed now) alternatives would be V-Maxx adjustable coilovers 25-70mm lower with adjustable damping £650 (Ebay), Eibach pro-street adjustable coilovers 25-70mm lower fixed damping £960 (revolution247), KW Variant 1 25-70mm lower £1,140 (Ebay) all these will give the same ride height as the prodrive springs. Had my rear shocks done at IG before warranty ran out, fronts went a month after and had no joy getting them replaced. Subaru use to change them with very little fuss but obviously things have changed. Robert

Hi folks, UPDATE Date now confirmed as 12th December 2010. Route has been notified to the police, Santa Run is on as usual in the morning but will be clear by the time we are heading through. Santa's have reported for duty. Donation forms have been handed in. Stickers being made by GBSTI. Meal at Peter was a great success and loads of Raffle prizes. Shopping trip done (1 Wii, 1 Xbox, 2 TV/DVDs, 4 Boomboxes, 2 Karaoke machines, 4 digital cameras, loads of toys, games, DVD's CD's). Storage of present sorted. Prize for best decorated sorted. Meeting point will be ASDA Robroyston just of the M80 J2 - G33 1AD. Time 10.30 - 11.00 which gives plenty time for a chat and to decorate the cars. Convoy leaves 12.15 sharp, route will be available on the day. Arrival at hospital 1.00pm. Cars with presents to the main entrance everyone else will be directed to the carpark. Everyone meets at the main entrance for the publicity photos. The hospital lets us use the canteen facilities while Santa visits one of the wards to hand out a few presents. After the last couple of years a lot of us have headed to the Harvester at Hillington for a bite to eat. Robert

Thanks to CraigMcD for fitting the brakes on Mandy's car, great service. Also a thanks to Chris at Eurocarparts for the deal on the discs and pads.

Hi & welcome to the forum, remember to check the events section for local meets, trackdays and shows.

Another good write-up Scott, shame the car let go. What about a project thread when you develop the car to go from Club to Pro.

What mods and has it been mapped? More info you give the easier it will be to narrrow the problem down.
