Aye sometimes a good thrashing fixes lots of things [] Actually if it keeps coming back on the OpenECU software I've got will allow me to disable the warning if it blips up again. But yeah Pete told me about the resistor fix for his up-pipe.. That'd work too.

Ahhhhh! Just had a possible fix for the moment.. But havent tested yet. I've noticed previously that I do (and I assume everyone does) get an email when you initially receive a new PM from someone. That's a new PM not a reply to one that already exists. So there is some notification. Now, the PM system on this forum works the same way as the posts on the main forum.. Often the PM system is a seperate thing altogether (from a behind the scnenes techy kinda way). Anyway, I'll get to the point.. When you first view a new PM and you want to be notified on any replies to it, open the PM and select the button "Enable Email Subscription" near the top of the page just above the initial PM message (if you know what I mean) This "should" then notify you via email of any new replies to that PM. Alternatively try going onto your profile (Click your username at the top right hand side of the page) Select the email tab then say "Yes" to the question: Enable Email Notifications of forum/thread subscriptions and replies to my posts. ^^^^ Note: I wouldn't reccomend using this option as it means you will be bombarded with emails abotu every topic/pm you've ever posted in. IT can get annoying and it puts a little extra load on our poor SIDC forum. I would test this myself but I'm in desperate need of sleep so if anyone else want's to try and and give some feedback, maybe we can get this sorted. In theory it should work.. []

Only one possible response to that.. **DROOL**

Cheers! It's pretty good cond if you ignore the front end stone chips [] Keep seeing you in the Evo, does teh WR1 just come out for special occasions? Love the colour of those!

No warranty for me sadly.. Just back from INV and parcel force office picking up me cable.. Plugged in. Sure enough error: P0420 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Which seems a bit odd as it should normally kick up by removing the 3rd cat. Also it's had the cat removed for nearly 2 months now and only now has the light come on. So ECU Reset and the light disappeared and I'm happy to report all is well [] So if anyone in the area ever want a CEL diagnosed give me a shout.! Now, where'd I put that re-mapping software [6]

Aye, this is becoming a bit of a habit now []

Not exacly "Cool" but: 1. Volvo 440 1.8i Approx 89bhp!!! Owned for 2 years handled surprisingly well with relativley progressive understeer much like the scooby. Just came in a bit earlier that's all... 2. Bugeye 01 Impreza WRX 225.2bhp Owned for 7 months and still getting used to it in places it's got more grip than I have [] next > Dunno, possibly Hawkeye STi or RB320, or if I grow up a forester but that's a long way off...

I'm guessing the Red one was me.. There's a coupel red WRX's in the area but mines got a couple cosmetic changes from standard so easily spottable on the road [] Window tints (Privacy Glass for the Insurance and police quesions []) Small handful of vinyl letterings, front grills & mesh Fog covers cannae really miss it in this area.. Aye Noticed loads out in force today Got waves from 2 evo's. was that you going past as I was turning into the shell garage for me lunch?

CooL! Might be heading up to INV tomorrow so will give the tesco Rocket Fuel a go.. Especialyl for the price! P.s. bbigman2000, could be wrong but I think I followed you for 1/2 mile coming out of elgin tonight at aroudn 7:50pm or thereabouts. Was certainly a nice WR1 took off infront of me []

Looking forward to this.. But what I'd really like is a decent physics engine and not the console style arcade handling where just about anything goes. Earlier CMRally games were most playable, recent ones although nice, lack realistic handling IMHO.. But then how shoudl I know I don't go rallying [:'(] Recent cars have felt too light and dont feel that they turn at the front wheels if that makes sense.. Thei've clearly spent time on DIRT so got me fingers and toes crossed. If it's really good I may even buy one of those new Logitech G25 wheels []

... Typical evo... they cant win without cheating [] I believe it's from this film The Legend of speed http://www.lovehkfilm.com/reviews_2/legend_of_speed.htm Strong similarities to the recent Need For Speed games in that video footage..

Replied [] & for anyone else who wants it the POI locations for shell stations on satnav you can download it here: http://www.scouk.net/shell_poi.zip

If you've got sat nav I've got a list of shell stations on my TomTom Mobile I can send you the POI file if you like? But yeah, Inverness is about as far north as V-Power goes..

Hey swifty! Did think about glengurbie as another alternative.. Actually started running the car on the raod again today as my alternative form of transport runs out of MOT tomorrow. And just arrived home tonight to find that the tracking on my openport cable says it's arrived in the UK (a week after it left the US) and goind through customs so Woohoo! Shouldn't be long now.. Car seems to be running fine, no silly knocks, lack of power so at a guess if anything it's possibly runnign a bit rich but hopefulyl I'll soom find out. I tell you one thing I've noticed after running around in a Peugot 306 and a Rover 214 cabriolet [] the past week going back to the scooby, makes you realise how well built the impreza really is. Everything just feels no tight and solid cant wait to get rid of that damn light []

The fate of 001 is confirmed. It's going home with it's older brother RB5 001... where it should be... [A] http://rb320oc.ipbhost.com/index.php?showt...0&hl=

Cheers steve! If the cable doesn't arrive by the end of the week I may try that.. Just went out for a wee trip to forres and back to see if I can diagnose anything the old fashioned way (dodgy sounds, lack of boost, stuttering e.t.c.) and found nothing.. all appears well, apart from the CEL light still being on.. I'm going to try and get the wheel alignment booked at GT Tyres this weekend so may make an extended trip through to INV if their open.. In fact need to get some plastic plugs for the bumper /wheel arch so may take a trip along to Aird Motors too.. []

Hey guys/gals, Need a semi-urgent favour. As I reported last week I've got the dreded CEL light on my WRX dash. Ordered a Openport cable from tactrix.com early last week in the hope it would arrive in good time so I can diagnose the problem myself without having a garage charge me £££'s just to tell me that some random sensor needs cleaning. Unfortunately my cable seems to have gotten lost somewhere over the atlantic and I'm still left with a car which I dont really want to use until I find out what the problem is. to make matters worse I'm supposed to be driving down to my bruvs in 2 weeks time (600 odd miles away) and need the car in good working condition for then and it's not looking likely. [] So after that we bit of background if anyone in the area has a suitable cable that they can let me borrow for a few days just to check things over it woudl be really appreciated! Thanks in advance,

Good choice! I bought a Acer 3023 1 1/2 years ago and still going strong.. Faster gaming than my desktop! Totally reliable great display, quick, decent battery life.. Full of features (but no built in bluetooth on mine) Highly reccomended! Build quality IMHO is better than most larger brands, I'd say better than Dell, Sony and HP but not quite up to IBM / Lenovo standards, but then nothing is.. []

Cheers for the replies! Got a couple of spare cars in the drive I can use at the moment so I'll maybe run about in one of them for the next few days. Ordered one of those diagnostic Openport cables just now so hopefully wont take long to arrive I believe that in conunction with some fancy software on the laptop will report fault codes for me. [] Was tempted to buy this before, but now I've got a reason.. My amatureish guess would be dodgy sensor kicking up hell as it seems to run fine and not in any sort of "safe mode".. Did a search on SNet and found the restart fix of starting the car 5 times and the CEL sometimes disappears.. didn't work. maybe it's needs the 12.. Other thing is it was really wet on the roads, maybe some moisture has got somewhere it shouldn't.. Will check again in the morning once things dry off a bit. The Bugeye's "should" run fine with the center cat removed by not lighting up the CEL, changing down pipes and up-pipes seems to throw it though. Not somethign I've done.. yet [] Splitter - My dad's having a go at repairing it.. He's done the odd repair over the years on bits' of body work falling apart on vehicles, so I have faith. It's back in one piece, just needs some fillers for the holes and scratches, then a new coat of paint [] Not sure if it will be going back on again though.. Got Prodrive springs put on (along with replacement OEM rear dampers, expensive month!) and the car is running pretty low, with the splitter on it's obviously even lower at the front. Interestingly, did a comparison with my bro's RB320 and even with the splitter on mine with the springs it's still slightly higher at the front than the RB...

Hey guys, Need some advice.. Just about a mile from home tonight the CEL light on the dash came on (2001 Bugeye WRX). Not sure why.. Car seems fine was a nice lesurely drive home nothing racey. Sadly the light comes back on after stopping the car and restarting. Doesn';t flash just contantly on from the point of switchign on the ignition. Any suggestions as to what to do about it? I dont have a Diagnostic system myself so cant check out any fault codes (was thinking of buying one just the other day [*-)]). Is there any easy way to find out what the fault is? (I'm guessing no, not without the appropriate equipment Car had a center decat put in over a month ago along with a new WRSport backbox but everything has been running fine.. Just this damn light came on tonight all of a sudden. Dont really want to drive it until I get to the bottom of the problem.. Thanks in advance for any help, appreciated...

107.9p in Elgin.

Geez!! Just goes to show that no matter how stupid you feel.. There's always someone, somewhere willing to go that extra bit further []

Ouch!!! That depends... On how strict the rules are... I fitted a ebay splitter onto my bugeye just 20 mins before the recent elgin meet, then a hour or so later, It came off at circa 60mph and broke in three! yeah I know I'm stupid and should have made sure it was more secure, but you live and learn.. Fotunately only harm done was to the splitter..

Damn! that's what I call some really nice sharp bright photos! Well Done!! Still practicing with the camera myself (Canon powershot S2) From the looks of things I was standing about 20m down the hill from you [8-|] Loads more of mine here: www.scouk.net/motorsport/hill-climb/fintray/2007/ Need to sort out a better gallery and get higher res images on there.. [*-)]

Hey guys/gals, Just got a set of prodrive springs fitted to my bugeye WRX today and discovered that my passenger side rear damper is on the way out and needs a replacement LHS?. What would be the best thing to do, I see cam skill have a replacement pair for around £140 which is probably the safest option instead of replacing just the one side. Anywhere I can get some cheaper? Or maybe pick up a single damper in good condition. Also I havent got the geometry set-up yet but would it be best to wait until after the new damper(s) is fitted before getting this done or would it not have any affect replacing a rear damper as geometry "should" be the same..? One further thing, [] anyone got a copy of the Prodrive and/or GroupN fast road geometry settings that I can to get my WRX set-up nicely? Thanks,
