  1. howdy long time how are you?

    How did you remedy it, did you heatwrap or just disguard it?

    Not bad, was going to come over and talk to you and Lesley at the Wheel meet but never got a chance.

    Ian Greive gave me the option of getting them replaced or removed, having it happen once I opted to get them removed, temp wise I was told it wouldn't make a massive difference to underbonnet temperatures so never wrapped the up-pipe. Might be worth it when going down the modding route but as my car is only PPP I didn't bother.

    They did a geometry setup to check steering was alright. Wasn't until I took the car to Kenny Brown's in Hillington a while later that I found out I have a very slight curve in the rack (had to force the steering to make the turn), doesn't affect the car at all just has to be factored in when the setup is done.

  2. Might have been me Rich.

    Happened to me on the newage couple of years ago, jammed the steering as I turned left. Wasn't going fast but still got the heart racing.

  3. Might be a silly question have you checked the wires into the connector for the ecu and sensor. If a bypass was run it would be tied in after coming out the connectors. If everything has been replaced and Andy and Steve can't see anything i might be something really simple.

    Just thinking back to a starting problem that Richie had in his Type R when he had an intermitant starting problem, tried everything to solve the problem (ecu swap, starter, etc) until he found a tiny break in a wire in the connector to the ecu.

    Hope you get it sorted.

  4. It isnt really, the times are often close but points wise its not close at all, I cant mathematically catch Jim for the Scottish Class so have already relinquished that, but cant see anyone catching me for 2nd. The lowlands isnt that close points wise either.

    Sorry meant times, with different cars, power, setup and tyres. Hopefully I'll get along as a spectator to a couple of events, never know I might get the bug and want to join in. :P

  5. Not sure about price Ally there is a mint UK turbo on Autotrader 41.5k on the clock for £2750. I think try around the £3k mark as yours is a good example with sensible mods and we know it hasn't been thrashed.

    Try the usual places pistonheads, Snet, Autotrader for selling.

    I know of someone looking to buy spending 2-3k (well his wife says the lower the better, I'm trying to convince him otherwise) so will let him know about yours.

  6. Funny used Halley for my Astra and they were shocking took my Subaru Sport there and they hadn't a clue. Where as Eaglesham have always been more than helpful and their parts department were spot on.

    Everyone will have different opinion and experience though. :brickwall:
