  1. Are they inside the glass cabinet? if not then they may not be in the lot...? I'd go back and have another look, but my connection is waaaaaay too slow here...

    Dale the apexi power fc are in the glass cabinet, the samco hoses are in the corner of a picture of aerosols but not included in the lot.

  2. That sounds like a surprisingly frugal sum for a new engine, particularly of such high spec - great work.

    I have a bog-standard WRX 2.5. Wondering how I might go about 'unleashing the beast' once the warranty's expired. The Prodrive PPP seems a tad expensive to me, considering the net gains...

    A visit to Andy Forrest is what you need.

  3. Mate's first car was an A plate Astra in that flat sky blue they did. Nicknamed the Millenium Astra as it was the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy (Star Wars reference more applicable to the junk part of that sentence).

    He bumped no end of things and it just bounced off with it's metal bumpers. Proper cast iron car!

    5t.

    Mines had a four or a five inch exit exhaust on it that could and would set off car alarm at 50 yards. <_<

  4. A few of mines that i have pictures of...

    Astra mk1 gte ( well actually a 1.2 ) Me and another two of mates all had these at the same time but they were all different colours so it was like the Italian job around the streets of kincardine.

    Gave the Astra to my brother after he wrote of his first car and bought the Golf gti mk11 8v

    Sold the Golf and got a BMW 318is

  5. I dont think the one in the first link is an sti intercooler, its a wrx one with sti painted on by the looks of it. There is one for sale on scoobynet at the moment although its not the best looking .

    If you count across the number of rows on the one in your ebay link and then compare it to the one on scoobynet it looks like it is shorter. ( hope this makes sense )

    I would avoid the aftermarket one and hold out for an sti one.

  6. Just heard there is a bent RB320 at T & C Aberdeen - the_ex_leper?

    Hope everyone is OK and the damage is not to bad!

    Just hope they wanted everyone to know about it :icon_butt: . ( Hope nobody was hurt )

  7. At a guess i think they are about 1250kg, sure somebody will be along in a bit with more info!

    There is a thread going about somewhere that gives the weight of Grant and Imys cars. They arent the same models as yours but it gives you a rough idea. I will see if i can find it.

    Found it ...

    Both cars weighed in at 1250kg. Not sure how far off this will be from yours.

  8. good lad golf is the way ahead it's my way of keeping out of the pub and saving Optimax

    My old man was playing for Scotland this week in the seniors home internationals. Shame i am utter crap at it . :lol:

  9. Had a great day today up at the Mcrae stages ( Errochty ). We left early to get up and avoid the rush. A big thanks to Brian ( ralye 6 ) for the transport, tommy t-cut for the cooking skills and gus the bus for the banter ( mumble pants :D ).

    The troops.....
