  1. Best all round option is Version 5 or 6 STI RA struts. The driver pack option fitted to these cars had either Showa or Bilstien struts. Ebay or Scoobynet would be your best bet. Wilky had this set up on his Falcon and he bloody loved it both on road and track These along with polybushing the whole suspension and some whiteline arb and drop links would give a good package for road and track. Should be able to get the whole lot for abot the 500 mark
  2. .....and you kiss your mother with that mouth
  3. Book the test drive for the next Knockhill and rag it within an inch of its life, baldy tyres, clutch destroyed and brakes burnt out. Take it back to them and say the Scoob would have handled it a bit better
  4. down the access road between farmers autocare and the firestation shop on neilston rd. top bloke and good prices jim Cam sensor done the trick for me
  5. yea mate.good deal on the tyres their too jim . Guys from Kirky do tend to drive differently from you 'Paisley' boys, we never learned in stolen cars you see [] ---john--- John, you drive that red thing of yours like you stole it, are you sure you were not raised in Paisley? Jac, I touch goats
  6. How do you get booted from a position in which you are doing SFA?, were we supposed to sit around and wait for him to organise meets again?. we'd already waited around a year before jon decided to do something, and a great job he did too, from 2 cars to a dozen or so turning up. Grant, good luck[Y] Glasgow area now has a healthy 12 - 20 cars that turn up every month, every first Thursday of the month Best of luck in your new role Grant Grant, RO for Paisley Northwest.
  7. My favourite Tarmac driver and his stressed out Co Driver http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=uB0FrlQvRoI
  8. The Greek wi the Kirky Killer ......nice ring to it as opposed to the Kirky Killer Kebab....now thats another kettle of pakora all together Pete, I touch goats
  9. Oh the nutcracker suite, i could use that as a backing tune for a SV feature on your car In South Afrika, your behaviour would be classed as normal but here in Scotland you are regarded as a NUTTER 1.9bar in a Bugeye WRX..............................Nutter Already spoke to the droveshaft bloke for you
  10. DAVE !!! That is the single most dangerous bit of advice I have ever heard !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought he was joking but it seems not Ask Coulty what the handling is like on snow with the bias valve removed. Brilliant mod for rally driving but not so good on the roads
  11. Think this car needs a small Squirrel-vision production done on it...... PM me if u r up for a visit to some nice roads
  12. Nice work there boss Top result for a top bloke
  13. 2 biggest killers of MAF sensors are Vibration, due to incorrect fitting or Contamination, due to the filters inabilty to filter small enough I recommend you go down to Maplins Electronics and buy a Multimeter. Then every so often, possibly every day, check the voltage on your MAF sensor. Pretty much guarentee that the voltage at the MAF will die soon due to being contaminated with oil from the 57i kit. The oil used in a K+N filter is a very fine Duck Oil, they coat the filter with this oil to prevent water entering the engine. When the car pulls max boost, the airflow going into the engine is strong enough to draw the excess oil out of the filter and with the MAF sensor being so close to the filter it gets coated in the oil causing the sensor to burn out or give a false reading. The ECU in your car uses the MAF sensor when you go over certain perameters and if the signal from the MAF is reading low due to the oil from the filter then the resulting consequences will range from Check Engine Light to Limp Home mode and if it fails with your foot on the floor then a severe vibration through the pedal and loads of smoke out the back end. Apexi Power intake filters are the best for the balance between airflow and filtration of particulates but the only make them for the standardish horsepower cars. Once these filters become the limiting factor in potential horsepower then it is advisable to go for the larger Grp A style cone filter. Best filter for airflow is the Blitz SUS filter, downside is the filter does not deal well with the filtration part of the job Best filter for the job of filtration is the K+N cotton filters Playsatan forgot to mention he runs a item called a MAFSIM, this item does away with the MAF sensor and instead uses a box of Voodoo magic to give the ECU the correct MAF values for the given load situation.
  14. Prova ECU is a high end JDM ECU. These are usually mapped for 102 RON. Maybe a combination of the ambient heat on the day and the agressive map contained in the ECU spelled out a Misfire situation
  15. It all went down hill after i bought one all those many moons ago
  16. Its not, its Paul McKenna the hypnotist guy What specs the new engine Davie?
  17. Both but am i am a fussy bar steward Nothing between the 2 of them, better games for the 360 the now but the PS3 has more features and the potential to knock the spots off the 360
  18. After it is completed (still to get some footage from other people), i will be posting out a copy to the people that attended Back on topic NUTTER
  19. On a std ECU i prefer them connected but on a mapped ECU it can be disconnected
  20. Exhaust Gas Temp It tells the ECU that your Cat is on fire
