That pic is almost like an optical illusion or a spot the difference

Detango will make a difference

Hi Iain,

I hope you have a good time up north in the highlands. There sure are some cracking roads to drive on up there.

Unfortunately I am not up north at the moment or I would have been up for a meet. Its always good to put faces to usernames etc. I'm sure some of the other northern boys will try their best to meet up to say hello and make you feel welcome

Rich

I run that all the time.

Its better suited to older (classics) with non standard bhp.

Keeping track temperatures at 85 degrees is good going. Where is your oil cooler mounted?

Rich

I've used www.potn.com in the past for inovite alloys, I think they were about the cheapest at the time.

Only moved up 2 places today, really struggling for grip & theres loads of improvement to made in my launches.

Rich

1 reply thanx guys

that is a sure fire way to get more replies.

Reason I didnt reply was because my stereo system in the car is poo, and I have been thinking about removing it completely. Save weight

I really do hate hearing about this kind of thing. Sounds like you got lucky there.

Makes me think they were maybe scared off somehow.

I take it this was in broad daylight? ......Now that is worrying

Its still a hatch, and I'd still rather have the new Focus RS

Welcome to the nut house, nice car you got there mate

Hey Geo, thanks for the detailed explaination of all the possible items to help suspension & handling.

I'm going to find out whats missing from my machine and populate a shopping list

I may be in touch quite soon

Rich

I assume these type r are hard work to keep good?

All depends how you treat it really. Can be the same as a uk turbo, check all your fluids regularly, service it when it needs a service or if you've been tracking it you should always change the oil afterwards etc.

When you get into the realms of big turbo's and lots of boost, expect to break it now and then

Subaru's are very reliable cars if looked after correctly

Rich

I know the prices of cars have hit rock bottom, but with what i've spent on my 1998 type R over the last couple of months, I would never even sell it at £7500 even if I was offered that!

There are some good ones going about that are cheap, just make sure and do your research, look at a few of them and make your mind up on which one you eventually buy.

Rich

340 was 2 years ago mate

Too true

Andy is usually a very busy man. Don't know if he is away or not. Your best bet is to send a quick e-mail that is straight to the point, then you'll get a reply within a few days.

Rich

Presumably you've got the standard subaru 4 pots, you just need the turbo category brake pads.

AWD stock brake pads for all subaru calipers.

Rich

Thats quite a collection geo, thanks for sharing

Rich

Thanks folks,

yes the wheels turn and yes I did make a scooby burble noise upon completion

I'm looking forward to seeing yours grant, and its got to be a replica of the fat banana

Rich

Cos the impact on the wheels when up through the brace and twisted the whole car. My mechanic came out to see car in yard and confirmed that it was twisted and that it was due to it going through the brace.

Simple physics mate

The strut brace did not help in your case but its not the brace's fault that the car left the road

Rich

Possibly, kept me out the pub for a while

Had a bit too much time on my hands last week so found something to do...

The paint job is crap but I'm not bothered. Tried to replicate my own car as best as I could

Hope you all like it. Lets see your model cars

Rich
