Aye, no a bad motor right enough.....

still prefer the number plate where it is compared to a sticker on the bonnet though

Thats the ones

I think i will be trying for the small plate rather than the sticker type. The car wont be used daily so i will take my chances

no stage 2 planned at the moment,no big turbos under my bed or front

mounts,if everything goes to plan i'll be sticking with the 2.0l for a long

time and be happy with my lot!

Quick, fast and reliable thats the way ahead!

What happens next from the last strike? Not been looking at news much recently.

We are waiting on word from the union but we have been told the strike is over and that we are back in talks reguarding the pension scheme, the company has dropped the two tier scheme.

Jimser its a blast mate! I cant even begin to imagine what some of the lastest cars are like with the 500 bhp. I have been following your thread with interest and it looks like you will have a weapon on your hands once its all set up.

Frank i am still unsure as what to do with wheels. I have a picture of Colins car with the taramac wheels on it and thats what i am aiming for.

Nice figures bro. Should make for an interesting family outing now

I've got some flexi tubing stashed away in my garage which'll be perfect for a cold air feed. There might be enough for your car too

Thanks for the replys folks!

Alan you are right , the car is running well as it is so not sure how much difference it will make boxing it in.

Baz it doesnt surprise me that you have duct in the garage as you have just about every thing else there. The evo may be in for a shock tho as this thing is rapid.

To say i am happy would be an understatement . Andy said the car is running about 330 bhp which for a thirteen year old is not bad. I will need to be careful on the bends in the wet now. Cant believe its the same car

Mark your turbo is back with dunc.

What did he do with his calipers?

I think he is refering to the link from scoobynet posted above.

I have a problem with my alarm system causing the left indicator light to stay on when I deactivate or activate the alarm system. The car drives okay and eventually if I set and unset the alarm it goes off. This though makes me look like some pratt who can't work a car alarm especially in tesco petrol station with all the sales reps and their vauxhall Numbknuts GL 10 door family favourites. LOL

Has anybody had this problem before, my garage doesn't have a clue. I also have a problem with the engine management light coming on and staying on most of the time, it seems to be worse in the warm weather (yes we do get the sun sometimes). The mechanics in the garage can reset this using their diagnostics laptop but it only lasts about a week or so.

Had the same problem with my bugeye wagon, i sold it before i ever found out what the problem was. Mines stuck on when we were on the Richard Burns memorial run. I am sure there is a picture of a few of us on the way down from Aviemore with all my indicators on. Sorry i cant help though.

Grant you should of tapped on window at Crail and had a word .

Totally disgusted at the way these people have acted Having lent parts to several people on here without any problems i find it hard to believe that somebody would have the cheek to do this. Anyway rant over !

Grant i would think that 99% of the folks on here are honest genuine sccoby lovers but the other 1 % are c@nts. Hopefully you get your cash.

looking good paul, saw you your car when front mount was in progress of being fitted.

the white wheels make it look

what figures are you hoping for?

Did dunc remember to give you a package to give to andy from me?

Ah so you are the turbo owner! Yes its in the boot of the car. If he had said your log on name i would have known who he ment.

As far as the power goes i honestly dont know, i think my injectors will be the limiting factor but i dont know what they can cope with power wise.

Seafar i havent came up with an answer to the number plate question yet but i dont want it blocking the intercooler so a bit thought is required. I may try my luck with a smaller than standard plate and take my chances.

Cheers for the comments!

Dipsy boxing in the induction kit is something i do plan on doing but had to wait till all the intercooler pipe work was in first, that will now allow me to make up a template of the shape i will need. I will be removing the intercooler water spray bottle as it will no longer be used so i should manage to get a cold air feed up to the filter. Also planning on lagging the intercooler pipe work at some stage as well.

Picked up the car today from Hypertech! Big thanks to Dunc and young Dunc for the work carried out. A very well fitted frountmount along with fuel pressure regulator and a set of four pots to replace the crappy two pots that were on it.

Oh and did i mention that i am off to Port Seaton tomorrow to have the apexi power fc fitted and mapped

Not much sleep tonight me thinks and just to finish off a good day its my birthday

LOL, I know the feeling mate. Feels like a brand new car huh? Happy days!

What car are you driving again?

If you are having a classic then you really need a 94-96 to have a "true" classic... otherwise it's just a mk11 classic

Well said that man !! Early classics rule ( although slightly biased view )

I'm still waitin' on the call from Dunc to get my rar ARB fitted - c'moooan Dunc!!!!

Welsho he is up to his ears just now. Mines is still there from the day you ran over my goods

Nope, a tax disc is valid from the moment it's issued, but you can only apply for it 14 days before the end of the month, this allows people plenty of time to do it so there can be no excuse for having an out of date disc.

My mate got a ticket outside ibrox for not displaying his, it was still in the post as he had ordered it online. He phoned the next day and had to send in the proof to show what date he had ordered it and the fine was dropped.

Thats nasty have you been done to AE to be checked over just to be on the safe side

Looks like you had a very lucky escape.

Nice one mate!

Good news, somebody is getting a belter.

Nice wagon...still miss mine

Col.

Was that at Duff town?

Pistonheads and here. Anywhere else that you can recommend?

Have you got it on scoobynet?

Stunning car mate.

The market is very slow at the moment, i had my newage up for sale for over a month and only had 1 guy interested in it. Sold it to him on monday night for less than i wanted for it too

Agree with all of the above, stunning car and not an unrealistic price. Its just a case of waiting till the right buyer comes along.

Cant help to much with the advice but give http://www.asperformance.com/ or http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/home.htm and i am sure they will point you in the right direction. Another thumbs up for the afterburner vortex. ( made by hayward and scott )

Mmmm not seen that before just looks like the 3" to 2.5" pipework but the pics nae that clear. Worth askin tho

Give westgate tyres a phone on 01524 840044 and ask for graham. I was talking to him the other day and he said they had a few on special offer of £125 plus delivery.

I cant remember what size he said they were but its worth a phone call to find out.

will go have a look Paul(mind i've still got your downpipe Mate)

No problem mate just drop it off if you are passing this way! ( no rush )

Jodie thats the picture i was looking for
