I'm just bored with it I think, and I'm doing too many motorway miles for a loud exhaust. I've got nothing exciting in mind, maybe an A4? Maybe just a new engine in my Mk 1 golf and relive my boyhood.

I'm sorry chaps, but she has to go. Donkeys corner shop has got one last, blow out sale. Hope you are all well 24D Bye Bye

In my experience, it's best to just avoid Swindon totally

Have yourself a Baskin and Robbins for me. Can't say I liked KAF much (too many septics), but at least you won't get bored. I was speaking to some of the KBR boys at BSN, and they had it easy. They just dropped the jingleys off to do the work in the morning, and picked them up later. All for loads of money!! Keep safe and buy an Aston Martin when you get back with your tax free earnings.

Wotcha. Glad to hear you care!!! Don't tell Ed, he'll be jealous. I've been a busy bunny lately. I've just bought a house in Devon, moved to Reading with work, Started the final year of a Degree and bought this little beauty The Scoob is parked up until I get bored of 60 throbbing horse power. I'm still waiting for a turbo from Flat 4 to bang on it, but it's looking more and more like i'll have to start small claims procedures to get my money back. I'll see you around sometime no doubt, I pop into Swindon to see a chick every now and again.

I ordered some discs and brake shoes, and payed direct into his account. When they hadn't turned up within a fortnight I rang him direct to see what was happening. I had to forward the original e-mail with the order, for him to track it, and it turned out he had missed the order. I then got the discs about 3 days later. I had NO problems with unanswered e-mails and managed to speak to him on the phone every time I tried. I guess he's just a busy bloke, that could do with a secretary.

Cheers peeps. I'm past the big 3 0 now so it has taken me 2 days to work this new fangled computer-bob. Off for an ovaltine before bed

Alright bud, good to hear you are still in one piece. I bugged out before it started getting too hot! On the ECU side, it all depends what else you are going to do to it. "Normal" tuning can be done with the standard ECU, with maybe the addition of a boost controller (Apexi, HKS etc) but for more interesting stuff, a standalone ecu like a simtek or a hydra (tracktive solutions) can be programmed to do all sorts like antilag and launch control. £600 is a bit cheap though. Splash the cash, you are saving enough at the minute!

As above really. I can't think of the exact Subaru setup, but the neg from the battery will be attached to the chassis, and there will be a neg from the engine block to the chassis. If this is missing, the starter can't earth through the block. In an extreme situation, you may get arcing between the block and chassis. I've seen braided fuel lines get mega hot when cranking and spark up! You could always try running a spare bit of earth braid from a inlet manifold bolt, straight to the batt neg.

It's a secret. But needless to say, I will have some more bits to sell.

Very nice. You could have cleaned it first though

The best of the best. Sorry Dave, That IED was me. I can't have you beating me when you get back can I!!! There are plans ahead for the missile when I get back from the 'Stan. I just hope the pistons can take it!

I would have loved to have made it. The Taliban meets are no where near as good.

B Day greetings from the ar$e end of the world pal. (No......Not Tidworth

'Ello mate. Got any photos of it? I could be tempted, and mine has a green panel filter in Sorry to hear of your woes. Life has a habit of throwing a big s**** sandwich doesn't it.
