Richie Cross

and Gus was too quick for me!

Hello all, I will be travelling up and staying at my sisters in west lothian on friday night then travelling down to Lanark sataurday morning to join the convoy. Is they any plans of a convoy from this area? If so can i join in.

Hi mate,

If you have a look in the Events section of Scottish Scoobies, there are threads about meets/convoys etc

Cheers

Oops, just noticed the panel filter too,m that's another £50. I got mine from Andy on the day of the map.

With regards to the panel filter needed for the map...if my car has PPP on it, would the filter have been changed

at that point or will I just have the standard one?

My one is green and I think I remember Andyjdmsti looking at it when he was going to sell me one, but he said

it was ok???

I've already arranged a date, wanted to get it mapped as soon as possible as I've got all the parts organized.

Counting the days already

Nice. How long is the wait and what are you hoping for?

:P Richie you're a bad yet, somewhat insightful man

....and I see you haven't taken your name off the list!!

Folks...to keep this topic on the first page and to maybe get an idea of where we are, I've taken the liberty

of making up a list based on everyone's comments.

Please add/delete as required.

1) jim dbm

2) Richie

3) Iain01

4) craigdmcd - depending on price

5) Wilky0302 - depending on price/dates

6) Mikeyorr - depending on price/dates

Possibles

7) Jus

8) NKWKX - wants to be persuaded

9) gordyq - interested if map can be done far enough in the future?

10) Frank C - might be interested

11) Stubaroo - depends on funds

With regards to prices, as far as Andy's website goes, with a group buy it's £460+vat.

I don't know if this is the rock bottom he goes to depending on the number of people?

In between the questions etc, I thought we could start an official list for those that definitely

want to do it or those that can add - depends on etc etc their name

Hello and welcome!

Nice car.....c'mon the Blobeyes!!!

It has come down a bit though, in Glasgow we can get unleaded for 110 and Tesco 99 for 115. I was shocked at how "cheap" petrol had become! Amazing to think that 115 is cheap. Just that I haven't been using the Scooby much and haven't been to the petrol station in nearly a month, so I was pleasently surprised and long may it continue

Me too. Saw regular unleaded for 110 and thought 'wow..amazing'.....but it's not really!!!

Better than it was but how long will it last!!??

I would be tempted to put my name down subject to a price - the car is the wife's WRX already has a PPP kit, so do I need to buy an Ecutek license or does it already have one?

My MY05 wagon only has PPP, uprated fuel pump and sportscat. I e-mailed Andy who said with the up pipe and map, I'd see about 20bhp but considerable amount of mid range torque.

I couldn't afford the whole package at the moment so plan to do this then hopefully the turbo/injectors at

a later date.

Does the group buy make much difference to cost? I've just ordered walbro fuel pump, full 3" milltek decat system and VF34 turbo(ported to suit from AndyF) for my GB270, so ready to arrange remap very soon

From Andy's website: EcuTek custom mapping 99-07

A custom remap (also known as a Tek3) is £500+vat. Volume discounts are available on this price and a typical 'group buy' price is £460+v depending on the number of cars booked in. Phone or email for details of the latest offers available.

The above price is for the initial custom mapping which includes the licencing fee for the ECU. Subsequent mapping of a licenced ECU is £195+v if it my own base map or £350+v if starting with another tuners base map.

You are soooo right Richie. I can feel myself getting sucked in here

Go on, go on, go on.....you know you want to!!!

are you running a sport cat Richie the now with no remap? If so have you had any issues with doing that?

Hi mate,

Kept the Prodrive backbox but got a Meercat decatted downpipe with 100 cell sportscat then Meercat

did the straight through centre section.

If I remember, Willie said I was one of the first to get the sportscat so he went and got it checked, MOT style,

before I took the car away. The figures were all well within the MOT range.

No other problems. Willie said he could do me a nice up pipe for £90 but I believe I'd get overboost with that

and would need the map.

If this group buy goes ahead..that's what I'll do....maybe!!!

Can't afford the turbo/injector upgrade all at once at the moment.

Really I SHOULDN'T have any remap but this forum sends me the wrong messages!!!!

Last years group buy was a case of getting the numbers in and then the people involved arranging their

appointments with Andy at his place in Port Seton...IIRC.

On his site he says he can travel if there are a few people from the same area. Not sure if this would

apply to the group buy unless anyone can tell us different?

I ended up changing my mind when the group buy was on the go last year but now I've decided that

'that's what credit cards are for'!!! Will only get an up pipe and remap but at least it'll be cheaper for

the future remap when I'm doing a turbo upgrade!!

Richie - MY05 WRX wagon

I can't believe that when I was filling up recently and I noticed V-Power was something like 122p

I actually thought, 'Oh, that's cheap'!!! because it was a few pence cheaper than last time.

Can you remember when we broke the pound for the first time!?

Oh to go back to those days!!

One was the '4x4' type witht the AMG in totally different lettering

I like to see all the badges. Guess it's because I'm used to seeing Saxo's etc that have de-badged to

hide the fact that they're actually only in a 1.1 or something!

A bit off topic but I've recently seen a couple of Mercs with an AMG badge on the back when it was soooo

blatantly NOT an AMG!!

Why????!!!

here is the man who shouted about his car being standard all the time i new your car wasn,t standard because of the times you ran at crail well cheers to you m8 for the remap its a great road back from port seaton i can,t wait to see your pb broke

Yeah!! When I was your passenger at Crail for my first time you said 'Your car would be quicker'!!

Nice figures though. I dream of getting a re-map

Thing is, for high speed pursuits....against stolen Porsches/Evo's/Scoobies etc....the police need cars to match.

As for the helicopter...I work for Strathclyde...largest force in Scotland and we only have one helicopter.

I think I'm right in the fact it's the only police helicopter in Scotland....at a cost of about 4 or 5million!!!

It's all money. A few helicopters or 20 odd/30k on a car out of your force budget.

ANPR is a great bit of kit for catching uninsured drivers etc but not every traffic car has got it.

Money again.

What a tremendous angle to take. You should also tell her that new wheels and brakes will make the car a whole lot safer for the baby too - haha!

They would though wouldn't they!!!!

imagine forgetting my wagon

u need to get to a meet soon before the winter months, that & i'm the only wagon that shows up

c'mon the wagons

Made it to the first of the year but then work has got in the way of a good time.

Off for next months though!

Hurrah!

Cheers everybody.

I am liking the look of Keira and Paul's wagons.

JW - cheers for the photoshop although...damn you! I'm liking the look of the new rims and brakes!!!

Will speak to 'the wife'. It's obviously for the sake of the baby. Can't get sun in her eyes now!

Ah, Keira!! Forgot about your wagon!!!

Shows how long it's been since I made it to a meet!!!!
