  4. i have had my wr1 off the clock past 160 and it still kept going to what i dont know but she was starting to run out of puff 170 ish probably, i dont own a private race track so i did it on the A9. did 153 over the new clackmannan bridge then got pulled by the lapd as they heard me coming. just a warning though as nothing could be proved. thats what scoobies are for ASBOs on wheels.

  7. the first 100yards getting pinned to the seat, turned to the wife.......were having it!! i have been in some quick car but the wr1 blew me away!!
  8. i think you can watch it on the channel five website. i would try to post a link but offshore the now and we are low on steam at the moment so the comuters are running even slower than normal
  9. i got done with the road angel on, bloody thing never went off. i asked the police to go around the front of the car and fire the laser at the dam thing........nothing. thought it was a fault so went mad at blackspot sent in and no fault found. was told later it might not work with a UV windscreen?? as the mum and dad in law have a autopayer thing on the tolls when driving through france and spain but would not work on there bmw as could not read signal through windscreen had to hold it out the window to get it to read!!! never trusted it again and it has been sitting in a drawer in the garage.
  10. alot of people just can afford to buy/run an impreza the now, i went to trade our wr1 against an M3 and was offered ****e to be honest, trade in 2k below book on my car on a car that was slightly over book price. i am just going to keep mine and enjoy it. i feel sorry for the people that have got a new sti they are free falling 1k a month i was told.
  11. there is a topic on wr1oc about them link http://wr1oc.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10291 i have them on the now my comments are on the bottom of this this thread
  12. buy a wr1 or a type 25 or a spec c wr1 320bhp 0-60 4 secs type-25 mk 1 350 bhp........ mark 2 400bhp spec c, lighter and more race focused and very fast for me a wrx was not as quick as i had hoped but they are nice cars so i was looking for a sti and found a wr1 and loved it bought after the first 100 yards in the test drive.
  13. 1stchoicespares.co.uk just put the bits you need in and then you get an e-mail from dealers thought the uk with there contact details and what they have. i got a set of alloys and a fog light from it pretty reasonable price i paid as well
  14. motorpoint were selling vectras cheap as hell 6k for a vectra life 57 plate and 7k for a 57 plate 1.8 sri......... i heard that they sold 25 cars in under half an hour it was in the papers a while ago. unfortunatly my brother had just bought a new sri for 8k and my dad had bought a life for 7k if only they had waited 2 months!!! they bought them in october
  15. good on ya!!! i would have broken his fecking arms as well. bloody scumbag!! tomorrow start it up, warm it up them bang it of the limiter a few times but angle the car so the exhaust is aimed at his bedroom window.
  16. i put a set from performance creations on my WR1 they have been on a year now and 10k miles and are still mint really good quality for the price.
  17. smoking and using the phone is something i do neither of but you do still see people using the phone constantly i was pushed onto the hard shoulder a few weeks back by a guy in a work van on the phone. gave him a little big of gesturing and finger movements. i just treat EVERYONE on the roads as incompetent retards that have no clue how to drive. so when they do something right its a surprise. i am no angel though i only stick to the speed limt around town everywhere else in my opinion is an autoban. I also give learner drivers all the time and room they need, only drivers i give grace to everyone else is fair game. i do think that old coffin dodgers should be banned though as they do my fecking head in!!
  18. as far as i was aware all cars met there reserve? as when i looked at the list on tuesday night all said reserve met. dont know what any of them went for though.
  19. did anyone buy anything?? , my wee boy was having a hernia operation today so was not keeping an eye on what was going on but my mate told me that some things went pretty high in the end. we never bought anything! dont have to clear out the garage so early now
  20. Lot 7 did not look too hot supposedly. a mate of mine went to have a look at them for me and him,looked like it had had a hard time on a track....? drivers seat was different with a harness and the only one he thought was any good was the celica although agreed with comment already said...not a subaru so no good . we are interested in the skyline though but still not clear what exactly we would get. guy up there did not seem too helpful and i was on the phone to hillington trying to get any info and got virtually nowhere, was told."some parts are there but no sure exactly you would get and condition" could be an interesting project over the winter. also told dont know if the cars run batteries are all flat so cant tell you. ..................cheers. will have to see how it goes tomorrow another mate of mine is after the car lifts as well for his shed.(60'x 30') not a garden one. easier than digging a pit. there is the 10% buyers fee and VAT on that so dont get stung! its fleabay without paypal
  21. what happened to all the other cars that i assume he had?
  22. Hopefully me looking for a possible trackday toy. never know might be one there!
