Amazing effort by you all - very touching to see how happy the little lad was

Happy Birthday for yesterday

And we all must say a big thank you back to you Glyn. I've never been to anything which had so little planning and an (dis)organiser puking in the woods with 5mins to go. Talk about winging it! You got there in the end, god knows how, but a great day was had by all - and you got soaked at the end which serves you right for being a total jakey Yes, roll on 2012 and a venue where you are allowed to turn left

Thanks, but you can keep it - already got one

I guess Phil, Craig, Del and Drina - what do I win?

Blows in the exhaust affect the lambda rather than the CO Al

Think they make it so only their stuff fits to their stuff if you follow?

Johnny, sometimes 3 mins isn't long enough to get the cat 'lit' but he's probably right, the cat is maybe done I'd hold it at higher revs for a few minutes and then give it one more go. It really depends how well you know the tester and how much he'll try!

GT3??? WTF!! Del is already a veteran of ring action, GT5 and other Take some brave pills Dave, and perhaps a blindfold. And bandages. You'll be fine - I've seen Del in action on GT5 at the Nordschleife - he's not a whole lot better than you were on Dirt3!!

What was the CO result Johnny? Perhaps the cat just never got warm enough, has the car had a miss fire recently?

Sorry about the laughter, lucky Dave was on track....

No Auto on the 'cheap imports' The suspension is lighter, the interior is better (from memory lol) The car just benefited from loads of improvements and is far more 'focused' than the earlier blobs.

Hope all is well. I look forward to seeing the mods in action! Not missing too much, it's been a quietish year, everyone is feeling the squeeze I think. Except Glyn apparently Sorry to hijack the thread

Hello Colin! How are you doing?

Anyone who goes in mine always comments, without fail, on how flat it is in the corners - ARBs will solve that issue for you. You need to remember that the blob is at least 250kgs heavier than your classic - still keeping the interior lol? I've had the knock. Took the struts off and stripped them down, nothing found and knock gone - since then the knock had came and went - I've never looked into the reasons behind or cures of but I can tell you one thing for sure, the actual shock absorbtion is not affected by the knock, they function perfectly. Perhaps if my shocks were all gubbed I'd consider coilovers but not when they are perfectly good. Save your cash and fit PF front discs and pads - best mod to date for me I'd say

I wouldn't fit coilovers but that's a personal choice. I have Whiteline springs (which I don't think are any different to standard tbh), standard shocks, Whiteline bars and links, ALK, RCA kit, steering rack bushes and adjustable top mounts front only. With camber bolts fitted to the rear I have a fast road set up to avoid eating tyres on the inside edge and the car sticks to the road like glue. Mega turn in. The 2005 STi is stiff as **** as standard don't you think? Not sure what Dave has on his.....

Another angle.... White blobs are fair braw

White on gold is good - I have these wheels for mine - look good no?

Send a short email and he will respond - busy man

If you only use it in the 'summer' six months Gus, then there are only 3 months of that left and then it would be parked anyway! Keep a hold of it bud, unless you need the cash - it's a buyer's market though so that won't be an easy way out either!

In my experience H & S are far from perfect. The guarantee is just because they are made from stainless - no one is likely to have their car for 25 years Can't you get it welded back on at one of the exhaust fabricators?

I have Whiteline on mine John and they don't lower it

.....if you make it to the Ring - still a few Lanark runs to survive first Got the cash through BTW
