scooby doom

While there may have been a negligible difference when used in the old WRX can't say I've noticed anything in the STi.

Oakey doakey Dave, I've got it now

Don't know if it just me as I don't use Facebook but I can't find it. Found you Dave but not the Moray Scoobs bit, so you may have to send me a paint by numbers way of finding it.

Looking good But then for some reason I think all black scoobs should have it done... Saw you driving out of Elgin yesterday about midday but I was in the other car. Btw you gonna make it ot the meet this week?

Nipped out again this afternoon, picked up some 'Wynns Clean Burn', switched the map to low boost and had another go.... FAIL!!! I've had a rake in the depths of the garage and found the original down pipe and 2nd cat pipe, so just need to throw them back on to gain the elusive golden certificate. Having gone through this palaver I've now got a few ideas of how to change/tweak the pipe arrangement to make it easier for next year.

Had the car in for MOT this morning and it failed on the emissions! Car's generally fitted with full de-cat s/s system - headers, up-pipe, 3" downpipe, 3" centre and Prodrive backbox but I have a replacement centre pipe with 200 cel sports cat. This passed the test last year but not this time. CO max. 0.30% but it was running about 0.55% at first. After a run to heat the cat and a little 'discretion' with the rev range it managed to drop to between 0.40-0.50% and flickered under 0.40% a few times, with a momentary low of 0.35% that couldn't be beat. The ecu has a dual map so not sure whether high/low boost setting would have made a difference? So, looks like I'll need to buy a univeral cat and have it put alongside the sports cat to sort this out. Have read conflicting reviews of reducer addititves so not sure about that either.

Welcome aboard and hope to see ya at a Moray meet.

Ahhh twins, all makes sense now Hope ya had a good day guys.

Looking good Lewis

Happy Birthday Euan

Hi Sal and welcome to the area. I'd recommend you call or drop by to speak to Dave at Bitz Motorsport at Nairn. I had my car serviced there in May and I know some of the others round here have to. They also offer a discounted rate for SIDC members so be sure to mention that too. Clicky to Bitz I'll be posting another Moray meet/run in the events section later today so hope to see you there if you can make it. Pete

Looking good Al

Black always comes up a treat - If all goes well maybe put mine in for a detail for the start of next summer.

Great job guys, looking the mutts

The new RO finally emerges... Sorry for the delay in chirrping up but I’ve been away all week. I’m on a residential course at the moment and getting home Friday night, only to be away again Sunday afternoon. Havng just finished the second of the four weeks I’ve already had 2 exams and practical 2 assessments but still have 2 more exams and 1 more assessent to go - not quite sure of the glass is half empty or half full tbh. As I’ll be away til nearer the end of the month I’ll not be about much but should be ready and rearing to go once back. As for ideas and plans, giving nothing away Anyhoo, thanks for the messages of support and to Al for the smooth transition. ‘mon the RO’s

Welcome to the area and hope to see you at a local meet.

Mmmm.... but with so many SS forums these days they be referring to anyone

Been a while since I've had that hat on but suppose if it fits - bring on the rant You have a point Dale about all the idiots out there and speeding only being a factor and of course I agree with that. However, while some speeding may be only a factor it does tend to be the overriding one on most occasions hence it is prioritised. Additionally, all our work is targeted to some degree these days and if you're in the Tragic, sorry Traffic (can't get used to this 'Roads Policing' things yet) then obviously your entire work load will be motoring related. This leads to targeting which invariably will focus on casualty reduction as a priority, with fatalities naturally being the highest priority. So where do we find the highest proportion of likely candidates for speeding and causing or being involved in fatal or serious injury accidents. Well, it's not rocket science you look for folk in the Max Power and Barry Boys brigade, folk on faster than light speed bikes and yes, one or too on forums not dissimilar to this. Having selected your target audience you then make a big public song and dance about going to look for them, as in this case in a bid to deter as many as possible, you tell them basically where you're gonna be (as with fixed and most mobile cameras) and see what happens. Imho you then really have to be more of an idiot than the ones you first spoke of to be caught. That said there's a bit of a difference between a wee blast of what we call 'spirited' driving than dangerous, reckless or just those who drive considerably faster than me. So, while I accept most will moan about it all the time, I'd rather someone cut me up and scratched the paint, than hit me at stoopid speed and wiped me out. There'll always be the anti mob with anting like this but a wee bit common sense is often all that's needed. So never mind all this nonsense about collecting then pennies for minor offences as the driving force here, anyone that blatantly condones this sort of thing or believes that nothing should be done to stop it or make the roads safer for the rest of us, I'm sure we'd love to hear you thoughts behind that opinion. Similarly, I'm sure every force in the country will be open to suggestion on how to deal with these issues with out actually doing anything about it that may upset offenders, cos let's face it they're the only ones likely to be on the receiving end of such a campaign. Judging by the lack of posts it would appear that SIDC members managed to pretty much go unnoticed during the target weekend - funny that eh. Very seldom I chirp up on topics like this these days but hey-ho, anyhoo 'my wings are like a shield of steel' so bring on the flames -

This is just one part of much wider and existing campaign aimed mainly at motorcycles. It would apear that (in our area anyhoo) that while they make up 2% of the motoring population they accounted for 26% of fatalities here last year. Regardless of personal opinion of scamera vans and the like I would imagine most motorists would prefer to at least reach their desination and any attempt to reduce deaths can't be all bad. That said anyone not driving like a tw4t shouldn't even notice this 'crackdown'
