  1. ps you might want to put castle nut back on hand tight before seperating hub and wishbone as hub takes a bit of leavering off. oh aye and having a second jack under lower arm makes fitting/removing droplink bolt a lot easier.
  2. aye but everythings easy when written down in nice text. wait and see what like the bolts are. you should be ok though. []
  3. you should manage it no bother but then after saying that you just know your going to hit trouble [] wheel off,remove castle nut and split pin from lower ball joint, remove bolt through hub,remove droplink, wedge bar between arm and hub and leaver hub off top of ball joint, then hamer ball joint oot. then reasemble with new bit. think ats right enough.
  4. iirc sti`s have different wiring loom from normal scoobs. if yours is 93 wrx import it probably has z4 which is regarded as having best factory map. If you want to improve things think it will be apexi route unless you want to cheat and use something crude like hks fcd.
  5. confused is just price comparison site. ie the deals dont really exist tried phoning up for my cheapest quote and was told they wanted 60 or something more notes. I am with elephant and are about the cheapest. could have been cheaper slightly somewhere else but bought the car mid policy and they would have charged for ending. Theres an insurance tread somewhere on here.
  6. got mine from graham goode - pricy but you get them quick

  8. did you heckill mcrae about taking a pay cut and getting back in a scooby? lol
  9. on further though just claim the insurance hike wont be too bad maybe or sell afterwards.
  10. is cam pully completly lying in bits? if so sounds like the valves on the head will have meshed. the other head as well due to slackness in belt. more cost unfortunatley. sorry to hear it.
  11. me neither but dads a plonker and doesnt even weld himself. it was local blacksmith that got him noo me but after seeing/hearing the state of him i wont be taking any chances. biggest expense will be new radiator i think.
  12. no not after seeing dad with welders flash. didnt help that i drilled out spot welds completly either but happened on christmas eve and had to work with drill bits i had. I am farmer so sometimes i can weld weld but sometimes only weld. bloody liners aaaaarghh.
  13. fixed my last scoob with similar damage. diy costs hardly nothing but found some of the plug welds with the mig tricky for access(where panel that supports radiator meets chassis legs). did some of them blind but got through a mot first time no bother. found it quite easy to get panel gaps equal but really tricky part is getting sidelights/headlight gap spot on. Though second hand front end i got did have some damage of its own. If the rest of your car is in tidy order though would go through insurance though as youll want color match to be spot on. i traded in not long after getting years mot.
  14. cool, hope theres a few others from up here could have a wee convoy maybe? Was wondering if it was worth splashing out on the fancy parking as well.
  15. same as above think its next sunday at knockhill
  16. fit about extending the depth o the bag wee a bit oh pipe then. just a farmers solution [] but swirl pot sounds the way to go
  17. Their a easy tae de min apart fae remap bitty. I ge ya a hand if yer needin. Deen it ahh afore apart fae fpr. get en o them rip off carbon rings ordered for the exhaust first though. unless of course you were being sercastic tae craig min, ficking hard kenning we oot spiken tae folk.
  18. ive got the whitline springs they do lower a bit are cheap and comfortable. But the wagon does roll a bit too much for my liking round the corners. although having lowered a previous car 40mm my back is very pleased.
  19. dont know if this is off topic slightly but i was wondering how much longer genuine parts are going to be avaliable for the older classics. There will always be aftermarket stuff and breakers but surley the scoobs a future classic eh? [:$]
