  1. Ah, cool
  2. But the sensor is in the seat. So if there is a collision, how will the airbags know to delpoy? I replaced my seats and the light is still on. I thought it would have bothered me, but it doesn't.
  3. Wow! I didn't know that! Did he sort himself or was it done under warranty?
  4. How can you not see that! Well at least you have got to the bottom of your troubles and the end is in sight.
  5. Are you sure Hawkeye pistons are forged? The WRX ones certainly aren't, and Im pretty sure I read somewhere that the STi derivative uses the same pistons.
  6. Yup!
  7. Jeez Billy, that's pretty crap! You haven't had much luck with the new cars have you?
  8. Pretty sure Kenny Brown in Hillington does the geometry. 0141:882:6757
  9. Woulda been my guess, but like Kenny Bhoy, I'm not mechanically minded either
  10. Didn't go and didn't know!
  11. Oh! But they ARE chocolate! I have one with a big chunk out of the ring-land (as Gav says). I can't see how a damaged piston would prevent boost though. My car hit boost with the damaged piston, but when it got there, the ECU retarded the timing as it did at high revs in every gear. Actaully, the car was worse in low revs in low gears.
  12. Yeah I know, but I thought it was being suggested by the comments above, that the full decat gives 70bhp gain over the sports cat. The main reason people choose the decat over the sports cat, is not for the extra 10bhp, but for the reduced cost (cat free saves £££££).
  13. Hmmm, I thought the difference in BHP gains between the sports can and the full decat, was minimal, around 10 BHP.
  14. Yeah, I remember you saying that before. It's been fine for me but I think I might start going to Govanhill again. Trouble with Govanhill is that the forecourt is slanty, so I can't fill the tank to the max. So when I see that I'm getting 15 miles less to the tank, I start to get in a panic! LOL!
  15. Good news about Stonelaw. Save going to London Rd.
  16. I don't recal Al! Thought I think I remember seeing yon me flowerly bush as I strolled along there one sunny day Nice bikes! Thanks Mate I've been out and about playing golf (still totally suck at it), and generally out and about on my holidays (only this week to go and its back to the grind) and got out of the habit of checking the site. I am glad to say I have re-engaged!
  17. they are cashing in cause the main one, just off the A80 is closed for refurb. I put enough in to get me back home!
  18. Was meeting up at the main Shell station just of the A80 to drop soemthing off. I didn't realise that it was closed for repairs and by the time I got there, my fuel light was on. So, I phoned a friend and got a post code for a nearby station in Cumbernauld and made my way there with the aid of Sat Nav. Arrived to fill up my thirsty car to see that they were charging £1.14 per litre!!!!!! Needless to say it was as splash and dash! Rip-off rats! Filled up at London Road.
  19. Yeah, I think you are right about that. A compromise wouldn't look right at all
  20. I was up and down there a few times and the car was parked right outside the hotel. I was surprised at the lack of interest in it! Ha! You can let me know if anyone spotted it
  21. Kenny: Sure Is! Sparky: I was up staying in Kames Hotel for a short break with the wife. There were little to no high-speed thrills for me as the wife just screams in terror Took the route through Kames all the way along that single track costal route on the way home.
  22. Cheers! It's a place called Otter Ferry which is about 25 miles or so from Kames on the way back to Glasgow
  23. Just catching some rays and enjoy the calm...
