Nice one Cal, I was after a camcorder too, thats a good one to look at for the price!! Was pondering getting a cannon though, but that might just be the ticket!

Like the others, I realy cant fault him, he's fantastic for giving advice, when its needed and fair knows his way around a subaru! So far he's Fitted mudflaps and a set of Defi Gauges to my carIve also been about when He's been doing work to other cars, and I just cannot fault the work, when time comes to prep the engine for more power, he's the man!!!

I was under the impression that they are ALL MOMO wheels...

I thought that last year, starting from Perth was OK, but splitting off from the lecht was about right for us... Oooh, and I'm going to make this too!!! Woo!

Excellent. I'll be right over

Ive just noticed a wee while ago, that this is their second post... the first being a year ago...? the last post title was exactly the same as this one... except the last post had content... You there? Edit to say: Andy your timing sucks!!!

(please excuse the big size of the pic...)

Mmmm puppies... Dont know if the Girls really knew what the had done by letting us in there that day!!! And the beard is back a little at the minute, but probably not for long...

Do it man, its WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY easier than you think.... like folks have said, they all wonder waht it is that they were worrying about the first time!!! All it takes is to meet just one or 2 people on your first meet, and grow from there...

I'm with Iain too, polished bliss are the Biziness!!!

Aaaaaaaahhhhhh, Gotcha.... makes perfect sense now....

Tidy! So when does the modding begin then....

I cant belive how grippy its owner is... (Just kiddin ) Out of interest John, what handling mods do you have on your car again mate?

Oh aye, whats going on there then???

Oh it was MORE than worth it...

Yeah went though about a quarter of a tank on Aberdeenshire's finest twisties to test her out... nice.

Nice!

But they are traffic light cameras, I dont think they can do you for speeding... think theres a few cameras like that in Glasgow... but dont think that they are Truvelo....? think they are a different system...

Yeah clocked our calender underneath the Airshire scoobies calender in the reception...

afaik, its the same set-up for both cars? but I'm certainly no expert on the matter...

Oh... never really been round that way, never knew they were there... always good to know...

I was going to just post this in Euan's thread, but I'll make my own her instead... bit of a write up about the fitment for those who don't know... I also bought stuff at AWD at the weekend, same time as Euan, I went for the Whiteline Solid Alloy Droplinks front and rear, and Whiteline REAR 22mm ARB. I was chatting to Grant (AWD) about 24mm ARB on the back and 22 on the front, but he told me that that's no use, that the 22mm only on the rear with the drop-links front and rear is the best set-up for the road. He told me that he's played about with different setups, when they first started stocking whiteline, and that's the best setup for road, Which is fine as that's saving me money! Also got to use the £50 voucher that i won at last years Aberdeen Scoobies Casino Night on top of the discounts that we got on the day, so I am absolutely over the moon with that!!! So after deciding that the weather was too crap for Crail (It was pissing down rain at 8am in Aberdeen - So I went back to bed!) I decided to fit my stuff instead. Thankfully the weather was looking up by the afternoon, and the ground had at least dried up, which was a bonus... Started with the Rear, as thats the big bit of the job, got the car up on ramps, getting my father to watch my mudflaps don't get caught, thankfully they just clear the ramps (These are quality home-made ramps, bit higher than the ramps that you buy from Halfrauds... so plenty room to work under the car) Started by spraying everything that I was disconnecting with WD40 (be carfull not to spray the brakes!) Then disconnecting the droplinks from the suspension arms, and then then problems began... one side came out a treat, no problem at all, otherside (Passenger) would NOT budge... Hmmm, tried all sorts, Solid hex sockets (I was using multistart untill that point) mole-grips, Filling flats on the nuts, but nothing was working... So plan B was initiated, and my friend the Hacksaw sorted it for me. After that, it was the 2 bolts holding the ARB to the car, they came out easy enough, but were very rusty, so needed a good clean once they were out... Just had to get the ARB out around the backbox then, which is not difficult, you just have to move it in the right direction to get it out you shouldn't need to move anything else to get it out... *make sure you know which way round the bar was fitted* To put the new stuff back in, I gave everything a good clean, All of the mounting points for the Droplinks and ARB and applied some of that grease that came with the droplinks, to all of the contact points, and all of the Nuts, Bolts and Washers. (not too much though) Fitted the new ARB same way as the old one came out, grease the poly bushes and hang the bar up bolts in a few threads, but didn't tighten it yet... I fitted the Droplinks to the Suspension arms and then connected them to the new ARB tightened them up, job done. Then I tightened up the ARB mounting bolts, I did this last so I could move the bar to line up with the droplinks better... All that remained then was to get the back down off the ramps and put the front up... Front Droplinks are even more straight forward, although, I was stuck with another bolt that just did not want to come out, so ended up having to hacksaw that one out too, which was a major PITA especially as there's no room to work in there, I only had a full size hacksaw too, so cutting the bolt (carefully) trying not to cut or bash the steering rod, or the brake line or anything else for that matter... but very little more to say about the fitment of the front droplinks, except that I'm glad you get new hi-tensile bolts with the kit (Which are better than the original bolts - which were knackered anyways!) Took the car for a test drive after that, in the dark... but I'm telling you, that's a nice difference there, car feels more stable, turn in feels quicker, and some corners that were a little uncomfortable before... nice... Also feel like I've a bit more cornering confidence now too. Ive not encounted any Lift-off oversteer yet, but then I was not not been pushing it a great deal, for a first run out... All in, I'm VERY happy!!!

Euan, did you not just put her up on ramps? may have been the safer option...? You can certainly move about underneath a LOT EASIER...

Perhaps it was the Old, leave it a couple of weeks to see if there's a tracker on it, then shift it...? Glad to hear that at the very least been found Fee! I hope that its still intact!!!

Forgot to say I think that its Illeagal for the camera to flash in your face? (or at least thats why the cant convict you?)
