  1. The No Fear ones looks really cool, but it would need a gold car for it to work I think.
  2. Don't ask me, I'm looking for a change too. No idea what to get though, would like something original, or maybea Red Bull livery - Gives you Wiiiiiiiiings!
  3. Yeah, got all that. I noticed in the HU manual that there is a setting that you can change to determine whether the unit searches for only the strongest (local) stations or those in a more remote location. So I will check that that is set to the lowest on my way to work. Failing that, I'll make sure the ariel is all the way in. Cheers! J
  4. Hi Colin. Can't mind what the brand was, but it was pure tat! I jsut stuff if with my wallet and phone and it doesn't look too bad. Yeah, ariel in the right place cause I am getting some channels and other come and go. It might not be in right, so I need to pull all that out again! ARGH!
  5. Looks mint! Bout time too. Be nice to see what you do with it, looking forward to it. Enjoy.
  6. I went against everyone's recommendations and bought from Halfrauds - sorry . Convenience more than anything else to be honest. Anyway, fitted the head unit myself along with a Halfrauds pocket. The pocket is cheap and nasty to say the least, but it does the job till I find a better solution. The things is, the speakers are actually OK with the new HU - Go figure! Still looking to upgrade these though. Can't really get much of a reception on the radio stations, any ideas? Thanks for the advice.
  7. Nice one Richard, was at Duncan's yesterday getting an oil change and he fitted a STi TMIC for me while I waited. Great friendly service. It's all down to AndyF on Wednesday to SHOW ME THE HORSES! LOL Enjoy it mate, its like driving a whole new car.
  8. Your Downpipe with a sports cat incorporating the 3rd cat delete will set you back about £400.
  9. Nice one Gus! Was at Hypertech today as well. Got an oil change and aSTi TMIC fitted, yeee haa! It wasn't going on but Duncan modded the bracket and hose and got it to work. Roll on next Wednesday for the remap!
  10. That was exactly the set-up I had, and its a really nice deep sounding burble that isn't too loud, but loud enough!
  11. Aye, I have a third-cat delete pipe for sale. It's a custom made one from Meercat, quality stuff. I didn't go for the full decat though, just the sports cat which incorporated the 3rd cat and downpipe. Actually, in Hawkeye cars, it really ought to be called the 2nd Cat delete as there is no third cat; the uppipe is straight-through, unlike blobbies and buggies!
  12. Pefectly... thanks. Iwas just using Halfrauds for quickness.
  13. DIN pockets, What?!?!?! I'm totally lost man! So what do I need? A pocket thing, which I assume is the bit that makes the hole smaller for the smaller HU, then I need some decent speakers and that's it? Al, do you have a HU and pocket thing for sale? Will this fit straight in? Clicky
  14. Well I went up to Halfords to buy a head unit and speakers and it turns out I need some kind of facia thing thing to make it fit. Of course, they didn't have that and it takes 5 days to come on special order! So I'm stuck with the crappy sound forever as I can't be a55ed waiting around in other bits, just don't have the patience.
  15. I thought that, was just trying to do it on the cheap! Cheers mate.
  16. I wouldn't think that they are trying to beat you, they jsut want to see a REAL car do its stuff.
  17. Hi Folks As we all know, the standard sound system with the Impreza is utter mince to say the least. I'm not into listening to music much, but I do need an improvement on the standard guff. So, do I need to upgrade the head unit, or will some new speakers do the job? Cheeeeers!
  18. So far it hasn't been much of a blessing! I got a week and one track day out of the more serious mods, so here's hoping it will last a bit logner this time. Dunno when my map date is, just waiting on Andy getting back to me. When I mentioned it to him a while back he said he'd be able to squeeze me in somehwere since the map has already been done and its just a matter of copying it over. How come you have nothing exciting to do lately? I'd have thought most of your time would have been taken up working in your resturant, no?
  19. Na, dunno. I know a man that does though; Duncan at Hypertech. I am due back there for an oil change in the next couple of weeks, so I'll ask him then. I do belive that there is less camber, therefore less inner-tread wear. Of course the trade-off is less grip.
  20. LOL!
  21. Who's Gus?
  22. Seen the Supra in the dark, looks a lovely machine! I dunno what turbo you saw. I now have the VF34 fitted and have the TD04 spare. One of my students was asking about it cause he wasnts to stick it in his R plate Civic
  23. Yeah, I know. So far I have spent about 8k on it in 18 months! What would it have been like if I said I can't wait to mod this!?
  24. LOL! thanks!
