Clean? WTF does clean mean? Rally cars are normally dirty so I'm ok on that front!

It's when you drive through a puddle or it rains.

Have posted in event meet at 7.30 so leaving 7.35 prompt is spot on. I think we just managed to keep the cars clean on the run up last year not to many splatted bugs.

Very nice, could do with that on mine.

Neil you have to stop working as much and get out and enjoy the car again. As for the people there are plenty good people on here, you being one of them. Your always will to help or sort a problem.

Remember the club is more than a forum. Get your backside to the BBQ next month the open road and badly cooked sausages will put a smile on your face again.

Absolutely gutted for you, at least both of you were ok.

Must admit of all the cars in the clubs this was my favourite, got a really good look at it on the borders run when Andy had it and loved the look and the lines.

BTW, will we all get to skip the queue to make sure heat soak is not more of a problem for some than others?

You could always use Jimser's old trick and plumb a CO2 fire extinguisher in to keep the temps down.

No read as a flame should probably have explained a bit better.

Just thought if we take times for the day and see who get fastest in each class.

BHP it's hard to say what you figure is, your relying on figures from different sources Tuners, RR and garages. A good example is my newage I have a printout from Extreme showing 329 but I also have a printout from Hypertech saying 279 which was done over a year after the Extreme day. I don't know which is right (it goes fast that all that counts ).

The simplest way to judge every car is use the one data source which is the time you run on the track, were all at the same place, using the same timing gear (wait for the comments about which is the faster lane at Crail ) on the same day.

At the end of the day it's only a bit of fun. My biggest competition will be myself to see if I can improve my time from last.

Happy to go with the majority, Type R is running 330 by Andy's bum dyno and 288 on the RR.

We usually meet at Old Inns and head up. Tam or Brian will let us know when we need to be there for setting up the stand. Will sort out a meeting time after that.

Reading all the posts the time classes seem the fairest. Hard to make sure you sandbag and stay in one class.

Last time I run a 13.2, with less fuel, no spare wheel and better traction I reckon I could get close to 13 but could edge into the high 12s but to get close to 13 I'll need to go all out, there is no way I could control my run to ensure I win the 13 class.

Splitting the 13 to 13.5 would allow more competition and more interest.

Also if a 600bhp car has issues and isn't running right there is no chance of winning anything if based on bhp but if you can still run but only manage 12s then there is still of winning something with the time classes.

Another factor is RR produce different figure up 40 bhp difference so the driver may not know his accurate bhp. If we go with mods how do you know what's in an engine or if the car is mapped. 99% of people will be open but you will get the odd 1 or 2.

Keep it simple save arguements.

Just wondered if we are wanting to put a team in for the Go-Karting event at Modified Live. Details copied from the Events post.

Knockhill will hold a one-hour endurance Kart race at Modified live on the 16th of May for all attending car club members to compete against each other.

Team tactics are the name of the game with this group karting event. Choose 3 drivers to represent your club and we will kit them out with full race suits, helmets, gloves and neck braces. After a short Knockhill go-karting briefing covering general safety and important flag signals, climb into one of our fantastic SODI GT2 Karts for fast kart racing action.

With driver changes and fuel stops, tactics are top priority so pick your team wisely! Once the karting practice is complete, decide which team member sets the pace for the rest of the race. Get ready for some serious non-stop go-karting fun with some super slick driver changes and fuel stops.

First team over the finish line are on the podium for their karting trophy presentation and bubbly spraying.

It's at a special rate of only £35 per driver! This offer is open to all members of your club but spaces are limited so don't delay!

Contact Joe on 01383 723337 before Friday 7th May to book your space.

Nice looking car, welcome to the forum. Have a look at the events section for local meets and shows for this year.

Why not nearer the time do a poll for timed or power, then set out the rules based on result save the arguements.

I think the 4 classes is fine keep it simple. Will save agruements.

My Type R will be trailer purely because it isn't Taxed or Mot'd. Happy to go against a stripped out track car it is only a bit of fun.

Got my letter. Used them a couple of times, parts department were are excellent, went out their way to find the limited edition parts for my GX Sport.

Worked out at KH I get about 9mpg. The newage I normally get about 19mpg which is 220-230 a tank.

I'd be really tempted with that sort of cash to go and get this:

Joe's Spec-C Blobeye

Have to agree a great car, looks even better in the flesh. A Spec-C always bring a lot of admiration.

Might be worth contacting a couple of mappers to see if they have hear of or seen this before.

An email to AndyF would be my first port being a tuning Guru.

Might be worth posting it up on Aberdeen Scoobies, Scottish Scoobies.net, Ayrshire, etc. I know SS.net were up on the Scooby v Skyline day in March.

As Dunk says, good to set out the rules first save the petty arguements.

BTTT, please take a minute to participate in the survey, the more views and opinions we get the better we can make the club.

Warranty I wouldn't bother with unless you want your shocks covered. Save the £400 and put it towards new suspension.

If your keeping the car for a long time is there a lifetime membership option, I did it after the free year from subaru as always planned on keeping the car for a good number of years.

Are you with RBS? you get free breakdown for any car and takes you to the nearest garage. Used it at KH and paid the recovery company an extra £17 to take me to Hypertech. I think other banks also give you rewards for certain accounts.

Quick Smart in East Kilbride 01355 221551 or 07787 472806.

Has done few bits for me on the newage and now does all of Eaglesham Garages repairs.

Car was looking good at the last SIDC trackday, write-ups were great last year and now you have a bit more power can definitely see moving up the leader board.

Good luck

Robert

Is Chris' next mod your engine in his boot 6R4 style.

A lot of members are going for BC coilovers good price (group buys on Scoobynet) will make the car quite a bit lower than standard. About £490 (Apex) + fitting

You can get Tein Superstreet that are adjustable but can run the same high as the prodrive springs. There has been a thread on leaking from these and turnaround for repair is 6-7weeks. About £920 (Ebay) + fitting

Eibach or KW variant 1 more expensive. Eibach have 2 year warranty both adjustable but can run the same high as the prodrive springs. Both about £1050-1100 (MSW or Ebay)+ fitting, reuse of top mounts or £300 for adjustable camber plates (Ebay).

Might sound expensive but Subaru wanted £800 for the front 2 shocks last time I checked, so your looking at £1600 for a full set that could go anytime and you only get a years warranty.

Hope this helps

Robert
