  1. Plenty room in the back man. Make me an offer if you want. Im getting to the stage where i just want rid
  2. I know mate. Id really rather not have to break but im really keen to start my new project. Thanks for your input.
  3. Guys, looking for a bit of advice here. Ive had my car up for sale for about a month now, ive had a few interested parties but not as much as i thought i would. Im aware that this is probably THE worst time to try sell a car but even considering that i didnt think i would have had a problem getting her shifted on. As ive already bought my next project im obviously quite keen to free up the money i have tied up in the car and get cracking, hopefully without loosing a ridiculous amount of money (ish). My current train of thought, and it seems to be more common these days, is to break the car. I think ill wait till the new year and do this. I currently only really have one chap interested in buying that car so obviously if he wanted to take it as a whole id be really happy. Most of the parts i can value up with no issues but the shell is something i have absolutely no idea about. Its a type R so its at least slightly desirable and there isnt a hint of rust on her, only been in the country 2 years and has about 70k on the clock. Heres a few pics for reference If anyone would like a stab at what the shell is worth (V% is present of course) then that would be much appreciated
  4. Cops are on the case - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lincolnshire/7960699.stm
  5. Nope, the bottom hose will only get warm once the thermostat has opened, letting water into the radiator. If the hose doesnt get warm is means the thermostat is goosed and water isnt getting to the radiator.
  6. Does sound like a fan issue to me mate, the fact that you said when you were moving again the temp came down makes the point. The standard fan switch makes the fans come on at about 90-91 degrees, as said let it idle for 10 / 15 mins and the fans should come on, basically when the temp gauge is around the middle. Be worth checking to make sure water is getting through the radiator, make sure the bottom hose is warm once shes been running for a while. Im mental paranoid about the cars cooling system so ive been through this a few times
  7. Nope AP 6 pots all the way man, best money ive spent on the car and that includes engine and turbo banter
  8. Porsche calipers and AP discs, i cant see why there would be any issue. Take the dive mate, best thing ive ever done, for a car to be quick it needs to stop well, this kit will see you right
  9. Its a massive worry really, i dont think ill finish fitting my engine, cant steal that
  10. You absolute legend mate, much appreciated
  11. Can anyone tell me how to remove the roof guttering on my MY98 sti? The big plastic strip that runs from the windscreen along the roof and down the rear windscreen. Any advice is super appreciated
  12. My version 4 type R How shes sitting as we speak (fronts a bit high, but its a bit light in that area at the moment )
  13. Sorry to jump on the band wagon but will these fit my v4 type r? I've been after 550's for a while now
  14. Could someone who has access to their scoob and a tape measure go and measure the roof of their classic impreza? Much appreciated Ross
  15. Its up at the top level of the kingswells park and ride, nice and out of the way so we dont bother anyone.
  16. Bit of fun in the snow, doing my tribute to Colin McRae (RIP) http://www.vimeo.com/9288820
  17. It sure is mate, was running a RB26 if i mind right. I never took many snaps of the JDM birds guys, i couldnt get near then cos if the jap pervert photographers but my mate got a few so once hes back ill sling them up
  18. (Yes, a beetle with a tray, mental) (First JDM bird we saw that actually sported a pair of paps!) So there you are, the salon itself was awesome but the trip to Japan was just epic, i urge if any of you out there are thinking of going get it done, its full of win Picked a few bits and bobs up while i was there too Sti trailing links, Rays wheel nuts, sti knob and some HKS stickers (just cos) While i was in super auto bacs i picked up some other wee things The more observant of you will notice the Colin McRae brochure, that there is a genuine Subaru dealer brochure in its original packaging, epic amounts of win
  19. Yeh so i just got back from Tokyo, we were at the auto salon last weekend. It was awesome, ill just let the pics do the talking (Thats just one hall, there was 3 of them!) (Carbon briefcase yo!!)
  20. Good shout, my mate got both rear quarters on his P1 done and the results were amazing
  21. If its the guy im thinking of (Dave Tennant) then your cars are in very safe hands, very safe hands
  22. IIf you get a good one then yes it will do all those things, i spent a while looking for a decent boss kit that will do all thoise things and cancel the indicators in the standard manner, the one you want is made my a company called HKB, i bought mine from RHDjapan.com, thing it was £110 to my door from japan, 10 days. Well worth it
