  1. It's a Japanese company and you need to import it. No change from over £2k or more if you want all the extras.
  2. Count me in too. Been driving sims since the days of GTR, but had to have a break. After talking to Grant he has got me hooked again. Especially Knockhill! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=FUIkkcSHHw0&mode=related&search= ://http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=FUIkk...ed&search= Anyone fancy halving in for some Frex kit and a room to set it up in?
  3. Signed in here too. Very noticable difference. Well done all involved!
  4. Thumbs up to infinity components here. Using Corsa speaker spacers to give clearance.
  5. About 240 going up to 280 per tank depending on roads and right foot. Worst so far for a tank of V-power is 230 miles. It's not a major difference but I expected worse consumption after modding from standard. It's about 20-40 miles more than I used to get per tank in standard form.
  6. Can't imagine there would be that many vans around, but the ones i see regularly (especially Barrhead) is stickered up. (On the side where you won't see it 'til you're at it). What was the back of the van like? Darkened windows? sliding window open? I am pretty sure it was a scamera van. White transit van facing oncoming traffic, no markings on front or on the side that was nearest the road. I didn't get a chance to see the back of it as it was up against trees.Probably about a 55 plate or newer, so it seemed very out of place at the side of the road at 7:00pm. There was some sort of equipment pointing towards oncoming traffic, either behind the drivers or passenger seat - or possibly in the passenger seat. Looked like a camera anyway. I was looking at info on scamera vans and the markings on them vary widely from clear to hardly any - http://www.speedcam.co.uk/van2.htm
  7. I've a 98 UK wagon and what a difference after it got an Apexi FC and map from Andy Forrest. Better fuel consumption and loads more power. Lots of features on the Apexi that you can monitor. One of the best mods I've done so far.
  8. Was travelling out on the back road out of Bishopbriggs past the leisure center on Balmuildy Rd tonight, towards Bearsden as this is usually quite a fun road to drive. Coming out of the 30 limit past the leisure center, it used to be a national speed limit and I would normally give it a bit of a squirt up the hill, when I noticed new 40 limit signs were up. I resisted and pootled up at 40 and on the brow of the hill noticed a white ford transit van in a weird place (no visable markings) parked up beside a fence facing on coming traffic. I'm sure it was a scamera van with no visible markings. Nearly caught me out. The van was gone later on when I went back with my tools [] . I presume this white transit van is going to be around the Glasgow area. Thought I'd give you a heads up on the van and the new speed limit incase any of you know this road.
  9. Had a fantastic family meal a few weeks ago at the KT. Thankyou Peter very much. Hope to come along again soon.
  10. Is this passenger someone in SIDC? SIDC is mentioned when they are talking if I'm not mistaken! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro-zHV-Y5gw...ated&search=
  11. Congrats. Many sleepless nights ahead mate. Your friendly Scooby forums are here night and day for you to trawl through in those wee hours when you aren't sleeping!
  12. What did you fall in love with? Was it the 6 point welded rollcage made of jelly? Or the Sparco 6 point harness with ***** protection? Or the front strut brace (it took me a while to think about this one)?
  13. I use the Meguiars #82 and Professional Paste Wax #16
  14. http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/207457.htm Made me laugh anyway.
  15. I got my problem sorted with many thanks to those who helped and got involved. The air leak was somewhere between the directional valve and the charcoal cannister (most likely the valve itself). The vacuum hose is disconnected from the one way valve and blocked for the moment. I'm getting around -475mmHg reading on idle - going higher on over-run. I'll get a replacement valve sometime soon if I can find a donor car. Just to put this finally to bed if anyone is searching and has the same problem.

  18. I'm hard at work now too.
  19. Hi mate. I did notice a blue scoob that suddenly appeared in my mirrors from no-where and squeezed through a set of lights... I think I did wave in the mirror (I wasn't sticking my fingers up). Didn't realize it was you I was too busy thinking about getting my dinner after a hard day at work.
  20. Gutted for ya. Really bad to see a fellow wagon owner in trouble. I'm local mate. Give me a shout - but I work a fair bit so depends on times.
