  1. Not swapping John Jason this may help http://www.scoobypedia.co.uk/index.php/Knowledge/BoostGauge
  2. Knew you would be along to help out Got any plans to pop along to any of the sprints this year, hoping to be up for Alford but will miss Boyndie next month as I am away working in Athens again.
  3. Ps will soon have to work back in GLA may need fed one night Looking forward to seeing the car running, so much time and effort gone into this it deserves some good results
  4. How much does it weigh
  5. PM John S he is a moderator on here and lives local to the garage in question. I have passed it a few times and seen some interesting cars in there but John could def advise

  7. wow 0 deg OAT thats freezing
  8. Looking good - sorry i couldnt help earlier. Its so hard out her in the 33 deg heat
  9. It is def possible from underneath if you have been spinning the plug you may well have damaged the wiring in the plug.
  10. The sensor does just screw into the box, its a little awkward to get to but may be easier from below, you should not have to remove anything to swap it. It could also be the clocks but if you already have a spare sensor it makes sense to swap them.
  11. Sorry to hear about this, bad enough in a normal car but a car that has had so much time and effort spent on it just doesnt bare thinking about. I had a similar incident on my RA just after finishing building it for the first year of competing but I got lucky and it didnt catch so can totally sympathise. It does sound like a hollow statement but at least no one was hurt, as much as we love our cars they can be replaced.
  12. Finally got a chance to sort out some pics of Ingliston. There are some more at the link below. Some excellent shots of the event all taken by Steve Wilkinson Photographic http://www.photoboxgallery.com/SRW-Sprintm...273400347.03803
  13. Cool will be good to see it in action, The sidc event at kames on th 28th May would be a good place to try it out with no pressure on you or the car although it would prob be to small a track to open it up with that turbo
  14. Think the last thing Neil needs is a good feed Sorry couldnt resist it
  15. How is the car coming on Peter
  16. Not sure what you have fitted at the minute but a good cheap road set up of newage wrx 4 pots at the front and 2 pot rears with DS2500 pads is a very good set up without the expense of going to Brembo's or AP's. I used this set up on the RA during my first season and it was very effective.
  17. If you can take them off and do without them for a week then my first choice would be Ian Godney http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/Recon_calipers/recon.htm
  18. Well quick update, managed to squeeze in the Inglistonn sprint last Sunday. Although not a Scottish round it was a round of the Lowlands championship as well as a British round and a non scoring round of the Highland Speed Championship. Having only made it home on Fri evening it was to tight for time to do the Saturday event so I only entered for the Sunday. I have to say how imprerssed I was with the way Dunfermline Car Club ran and organised this event - DCC are a successful rally club but have never ran a sprint before, you would never have known all in all a cracking event. Unfortunately I have not had time to sort out any pictures but will do that as soon as possible. The class on Sunday was well attended with around 8 cars total in the class. Martin Willox in his Evo really did throw the gauntlet down early on but unfortunately he had gearbox problems and had to retire before the timed runs which was a shame as I think he would have set a time that would really have pushed everyone on. In the end I was pipped into 2nd by Donald Ross in his Evo by 0.3 sec. Donald produced a crackng final run to take a well deserved class win. From my point of view it was a first outing at Ingliston as the cct has not been used for sprints since the 1980's and in hinde sight a saturday entry may have been a good idea. Most importantly I still managed decent points and the car performed really well, just need to get the driver to match the performance of the car and I may just be onto something With the extra power and torque this year the car is totally different and i have not got to grips with it as quickly as I had hoped but the next event for me is on familiar territory back at Kames on the 23rd May so another chance to try and improve on the times from last month.
  19. Thanks John, hope you are well. I used Stewart for my Ceramic Coating to my headers, uppipe, screamer pipe and external wastegate and the Downpipe and can say I have been impressed by the temps I have recorded during the first event in the car since it was all fitted. GIve Stewart a ring or drop him and email, I was pleasantly surprised with what I paid
  20. Thanks John sorry for not replying being lazing around in the sun kidding on i am working
  21. £94 for wheel alignment is robbery. Drive form Dundee to John at Progrip in Bonneybridge and get him to set your car up and you will still have change from your £94. John knows impreza's inside out and alignment is his business he sets up my road car and race car cant recommend him highly enough.
  22. A TY754VN4AA from a UK blobeye would be a good choice ran one for two seasons at 330 ish and 400 ish and was constantly launched and not treated with any sympathy at all, and was still perfect when removed. If you have a Typre R and R180 rear diff then you will have to pick up an R180 3.54 rear diff as well to match the UK blobeye WRX rear diff ratio as your shafts and hubs will not fit with the R160 diff fitted to the blobeye WRX.
  23. "Nice newish" prob had 50 miles on it
  24. Easy this modding malarky isnt it
  25. one of those message things sent coz i only like goats on pita bread with chilli sauce
