I think this could be true. Had it a couple of times on the M8 when I'm casually going past an Astra/Fiesta etc and they start speeding up again until I get annoyed enough to gun it down the road..........and have the wife shout at me

Good choice Ally. The king is dead...etc etc.... Congrats on the promotion Robert

Out with the old, in with the new Nice one.

Sorry to see you step down Ally but glad that you'll still be at the meets. In the couple of short years I've been with the club, everything has always been well organised. Top job, top man

Cheers Noel. Yeah, your thread was one of the ones I had read. Going by your thread, it seemd straightforward enough......are you reading this Stewart I'm sure I'd read some people saying you didn't need the sandwich plate or that it can be a bad idea?? Apart from buying from America, the only places I seem to have found were ebay or Scoobyparts or Xyberautos in Singapore. Apparently there are no issues with their delivery etc and they're cheaper than the UK. With regards to pods, I think there was a Zero Sports one that kept the clock, although pretty dear. The scoobyparts one had the hole for the alarm LED.

Hi folks, I believe from previous posts, some people have used Prosport gauges (can't afford Defis!) and they seem to be fine. Looking at getting boost/oil temp/oil pressure. Waiting to find out if I've missed out on a group buy over on scoobynet where they're getting them via Xyberautos. I think with 15% discount, the 3 gauges should come in about £97. What you have guys done with regards the centre pod? Looking on ebay there are ones going for about £50 but this one http://www.scoobyparts.co.uk/acatalog/copy..._-_NEW_AGE.html seems to be the only one I can find that keeps the alarm LED etc. I believe you can get one that keeps the clock....but that's not an issue. Also.......sandwich plate........yes/no? What does it do? Many thanks, Richie

Hello and welcome

Cheers Neil.....putting a smiley after saying you'll miss the meet!!!! Is that what you really think of us!!!! or can your diesel hawns not type or use a mouse!!!

You also have custom work by Meercat in Kilbirnie. Recommended by many as well.

My bumper had quite a few holes already there but Stewart drilled 2 or 3 new ones just to tighten up the fitting.

Managed to squeeze in the group buy on the last day. From my supervisory role, there didn't seem to be any problems . Stewart drilled a couple of holes to tighten the fitting up a bit. The grilles just popped in as well.

It's suggestions that get me (and my credit card) into bother!!!

Hi folks, Well, after a good few comments on the fact that my wagon needed a splitter, my arm was twisted into getting one. Got an HT Autos number via a Snet group buy. Also got the Zun Sport upper and lower mesh grille set in black. A big thanks to Stewartyboy for fitting them tonight as I'm pretty much incapable of doing anything like that myself!!! Cheers bud Personally, I think it looks good. Now looking forward to the end of the month when I'll be able to get my BC coilovers fitted and drop the ride height a wee bit further than the Eibachs currently do. Oh....and my Godspeed 335mm front brake kit PS: Stewart.....nothing fell off on the way home!!! Some pics for you Before After

Hi mate, Andy takes you out onto dual carriageway where you do a series of fairly hard accelerations upto 6k rpm from 2nd, 3rd or 4th gear etc. So, I imagine an 8year old would be big enough to cope with these accelerations....and probably enjoy it!!!! I know us big kids do!!!

Oh yes! Although a lot of my mates haven't been too keen and stuck with COD4. Looking forward to Modern Warfare 2. 360 all the way for me.

......that as well

Only 130-150????!!! Was that after we edited them down!!!! Some quality pics in there. Can you stick them in a folder of some sort (flickr etc) for people to look at. Happy (in a sad way) memories

Ah...ok. Hopefully someone will come along. Hope it gets sorted.

Hi, Not sure if there are any lawyers on here but you could put it out there (unless it's private) and someone might have had similar experiences etc?

Hi, I've got an 05 wagon. Got the Eibach springs (soon to be replaced with BC coilovers ) and Whiteline front and rear arbs (22 or 24mm I think), whiteline droplinks and anti lift kit. Send a PM to Cusco Kid aka Geo for all things whiteline I had both arb's put on at once but some people only go for the rear. I can't really remember anything being said with regards to the fact the car was a wagon.

Cheers. Might have to do some work to level the top of my drive! Had a look when the front wheels were over the lip and there doesn't seem to be a huge gap from the ground to the side skirts!

Haven't looked myself mate but I think I read the Hypertech were fitting plus geometry for £250. I've a couple of places near to me so I'll see when the time comes....which I wish was sooner!!!

Forgot to ask about this last night. You know when and how I drive so wondered if I would really notice? Or will I just be thinking 'well, it's only an extra £££'?

Ok, cheers for the replies. Is what I read about ball joints going due to the coilovers something that will happen eventually?
