  1. Yes, but the ones for sale here have kerb damage etc and in need of a refurb. A refurb is going to cost around £200 straight off, so expecting to get the same for those mentioned above, is perhaps more in hope that expectation. Only my silly opinion mind you.
  2. More ££££s Pffff"!!!
  3. Na, no warranty. Had an attack of conscience. Wasn't honest of me to ask Subaru to repair damage that was done while the car had been tracked and modded. I thought about saying to them, but I can't be bothered waiting, and going backward and forward to the dealer. Just take it on the chin; it's a hefty dunt, but at least he car will be sorted for the sort of things I want to do. Remember, I was the guy who said, "I'll never mod my car, there is no need". Idiot.
  4. yeah I know, jsut being a lazy a55! Your wheels gone now?
  5. That's fightin' talk! Bring your chariot to the first KH of next yearand we'll see who's the quickest! Ha! Thankd for all the positive comments, hopefully it will be sorted soon.
  6. Don't really know what caused it to break, maybe the 2.5 is made of chocolate. Maybe running too much power, maybe the fact that I was low on oil on two seperate occaisions on track, or maybe it was faulty. With the new bits and my promise to look after it a bit more (yeah right) that should prevent a repeat!
  7. As most of you know, I have had running issues since the last track day which was 4 days after re-mapping to some nice figures. Well, Andy.F said a broken ring land, Duncan said broken piston; but you'd never guess what it was... yes, a broken piston! Congratutlations Andy, now you can now say, "well I have seen this twice before...". LOL! Block is being taken to some guy in Edinburgh to tidy up the bore which wasn't too badly damage and to get measured up for the new pistons. Then Duncan is going to drop in some shiny new forged-pistons, race shells and uprated oil pump. Likely to be these pistons here: http://www.forgedpistons.co.uk/products/product.asp?id=197 I think. At least it will be back better, stronger and faster than ever!
  8. I am by no means the man to talk to when it comes to troubleshooting car issues, however, the implications in your post seem to narrow it down to one of two things: the lambda sensor and the decat. If you disconnect the sensor you are effectively by-passing the systems ability to monitor exhaust gases, hence the reason the car runs ok without it. Therefore, it would then seem that there is an fuel mixture problem, so what could be causing that? Well, you decatted the thing didn't you, and that changes the exhaust gases and the problem started after you decatted. It seems to me that must be the decat! Or is that too simple. Put your cat back on, reconnect the lambda sensor and if it goes ok, you know 100% that its the decat.
  9. Excellent price!!
  10. I'm glad you said that, cause I ran my reggie and it never came up either. I'm with KM too.
  11. Yeah that's the one. Then another came out showing the Christian fish swallowing that one with the phrase, "Survival of the Fittest" haha!
  12. I was told initially that mine's was worth £11,500! It was then pushed up a little becasue of my mods to £14,500 a loss of £7,500 in just 18 months. Needless to say, I decided not to trade in and am keeping the car. All the best with it mate, be a shame to see you let your car go though. J
  13. Yawwwwn...
  14. Ach stick then!
  15. Haha! No. There is a Darwin bumber sticker that originated in the States that has the Christian fish symbol with legs! LOL!
  16. Hahaha! Funny! And yes he does have too much time. I noticed that the guy's reggie plate was Jon W. I just want to make it clear that I am NOT the maker of this video!
  17. Well well, this is all very nice... I really want a peice of the "coilover action". Much you selling those goldies for? Once I get my Brembos fitted, I'll be looking for a set of replacement track wheels to fit over them. Current ones wont do it. Great job!
  18. Yes, but doesn't the insurance companies frown more on that than points?
  19. Is it not the 24th? Aye, I might do that, take my camera with me and not use it like I do all the other times I take it.
  20. See you there, looks like my track days are over for this year, car is never going to be ready for the last one of the year. Bummer. Ah well, will be back next year faster that before! Ha!
  21. Yeah right! That's why I have shafted three sets of pads, two sets of discs and now my freaking piston! £1500 repair bill!
  22. Yeah well, I'd still be in a pi55er. Good luck with getting a new car. J
  23. Well, if it gets t to the stage that its going to cost points, then screw that. I'm sure the cops wouldn't be that harsh and would at least give you a chance with a HORT1. No? It;s going to get to the point that points will be given for farting.
  24. I thought the MOT laws where already prohibitive of this sort of thing. Oh well I have devised a set of special routines to help: <MOT Due> Get new plates Remove existing plates Attach new plates Pass MOT Remove new plates Re-attach old plates </MOT Due>
  25. I'll do that!
