Yip sure do always seem to notice people once i have passed should pay attention more and John I will never get any car up to the high show and shine standards of your wagon

Passed the above on waterside road today was passed before I relised so didnt ignore you was just on autopilot

Well I think we know 2 cars which will be back down

I have had a few thinngs powder coated by the lads at Chameleon and the work was first class. Geo you dont answer your phone or ur PM's mate.

I have had a wheel straightened by Chameleon in Renfrew made a good job of it .

Cheers will nip down and have a look :icon_salute: John you know fine well she is only partly house trained, so I am surprised you mentioned the idea. Off to drill some big holes and use MY new tap.

Thanks for the help guys will take a trip down to whiteinch and see if the shop is there and also give transcal a phone. Transcal is the one I was thinking about as I seem to remember someone on here who had their seat retrimmed there and they looked very good. May be too pricey for the cheap repair I am after

If you use a prodrive sports cat, it couples to the 3rd cat removal pipe. Many other sports cats as previously mentioned extend straight to centre exhaust section. I fitted the prodrive sports cat, 3rd cat removal pipe, straight through centre section, STI decat up-pipe and some other mods to my 05 WRX. With the mandatory ANDY F remap it transformed the car.

Any one know of any seat upholsterer's or repairers around the Glasgow area.

Agree inform your insurance company and the police. I had a similar situation a few years back. The wife reversed out of a friends drive and knocked over a motorbike which was parked across the street. Totally her fault but the guy comes out of the house effing and blinding etc. He then tries to pick the bike up and promptly drops it on the other side damaging the fairing handle bars etc on the side which was not damaged. He then tells his insurance company that all the damage was from the impact. Unfortunately for him I had 4 witnesses that seen the incident and in the end my insurance paid for the damage to one side and he had to pay for the other side. The best bit is I knew the guy and ripped the piss constantly as he was an a+++ anyway.

Not good. A sad sad day, heart goes out to the families if this is confirmed.

Ok don't know about the hawkeye but the bug and blob eye WRX have CATS and the STI's don't. Seems strange that they have removed the cat from the Hawkeye WRX as the trend these days is towards cars with lower emissions. Or perhaps that is why you Hawkeye guys are payin more for road tax

The new age WRX definately has a CAT in the up-pipe (mine doesn't now ) but the STI is CAT free. I fitted a good condition STI up pipe to my WRX and it works a treat. You can pick up the STI CAT free up pipes for next to nothing and it will work as well as expensive after market ones unless you are interested in porting the pipes to match each other and then match the turbo/head flanges. Once you get to that stage you are getting serious anyway. There are also issues with some after market uppipes having too large a diameter which can affect spool up times on some set ups as the volume of the gas increases reducing gas flow velocity, effectively acts as a divergent duct. Just the info I have picked up from some people with much more knowledge than me.

I would go further, right arm above the elbow and left leg above the knee try using crutches now

Why change the uppipe your car has a perfectly good cat free item fitted

I was also quoted just over £200 for a 20,000 mile service and that was at Ian Grieve's So will see what it costs when it goes in. Arch

Aye it is, lol, how did you know? It was a bit o a random choice like, normally take photos elsewhere! [] My parents had a caravan and we used to go up there in the summer holidays for some strange reason. Glasgow to Findochty was never a fun journey pulling a caravan. Had plenty of good summers up there, not bad memory since its over 25 years since i was up there [] First time I was ever called a loon, thought the lady in the shop was taking the pi** so walked out the shop ina huff.[:$] Well I was only 11 ish.

Pete are your seats the plain black weave effect trim. If so I would be interested in a repair also as i bought my car with a really poor repair carried out on an area about the size of a 50p. It bugs me everytime I look at it so if you get any joy could you PM me some details. Cheers

Where were your pics taken, if my memory serves me right is that Findochty caravan site?

Boris thanks appreciate the info [Y]

Boris how do they attach, is it U brackets and what was the sellers name. cheers Arch

Nice one you can't beat a bit of protectionism []

Try Privilege for your insurance quote they were the cheapest for me, but they do want a tracker.

I take it this is a classic which i dont know much about but on the new age you use a 2.2K resistor either plugged into the car side of the plug recepticle or cut the sensor off, solder the 2.2K resistor onto the wires and plug back in - sorted? I assume the cat on fire system on the classic will work exactly the same, resistor will cost about 10p from maplins.

new age or classic(import)? Blobeye []
