I used Hypertech for my previous 2 Scoobies - wouldn't go anywhere else. If you ask nicely Dunc may give you a run up to Larbert or Falkirk High stations for the trip back to Glasgow....

Not yet you've not - they may bounce your bankers draft at the bank tomorrow Welcome to the club

Just my 2p worth - my '97 classic started running v. rough and turned out to be a knackered Lambda sensor. Was fine on boost but a nightmare round town/steady throttle. I checked it using a voltmeter - was sticking at about 0.2v whereas it should be bouncing between 0.4 - 0.8 when cruising I think (those more knowledgeable can correct me). Fitted an AFR gauge after that to keep an eye on it. £50 for a replacement and everything good. Neil

I wish - be there for the next 4 weeks. Back down to civilisation at the weekends though []

This morning spotted yours just along from where I was parked. Almost an ABZ ScottishScoobies mini-meet []

£490 inc. That included the free fitting and also the alignment on Duncans' own kit.

Got the front and rear alloy d/links, rear ARB and ALK fitted by Duncan (free) a few weeks ago. Can't comment on which bits made the difference but when discussing with Dunc he said that the ALK is a must and will give a huge benefit. All I can say is that the car is transformed - turn-in is crisp, zero body roll and when planting it out of the corner it just grips and goes. The confidence it gives lets me enjoy the car a lot more. I've got the Prodrive spings as well which will help a bit but can't fault the Whiteline stuff or Dunc for the service. Neil

I had a '97 STi 4 Wagon running in excess of 300bhp. Loved the car - was black and had that stealthy look. Tracked it once at KH and helds its' own well. Rattled like an old jalopy but didn't buy it for comfort. Only mods were a full decat and old Pipercross inducion kit. Compared to my '53 STi UK it was more fun and felt much quicker but prefer the comfort factor now.

Cracking vid Andy - good job []

Was a pleasure to be part of this yesterday. Credit to Paul and those involved in organising it. The convoy was hilarious - we managed to stop traffic on one of the roundabouts and set off at least 3 car alarms on the way up [] It was all about the kids at the end of the day and Tam did a sterling job as Santa. The staff and parents appreciated the donations and it was obvious the kids loved the whole thing. Look forward to next years !! Neil

I'm keeping my eye on the usual places for the Prodrive one. They claim that it has only a 2bhp overhead on a de-cat. Go for about 200 earth-pounds.

Well - on my 3rd now. Bought the RB5 in Autumn of 2003 from a certain salesman well known on here from T&C in Perth. Great car that held its' value until I sold it in Feb '05. Wagon Power after that - MY97 STi 4 - went like sh!te off a shovel with stealth looks - was great fun on track and a dark horse on the road. 307bhp at Dastek was a pleasant surprise [] Current whip. Took a bit of getting used to after the Wagon - less performance but better ride/comfort etc. Got plans for next year but right now love the car. Thanks go out to some sales bloke I bought an RB5 off that used to work in Cupar for finding me the car. Pattern developing.....must resist......... Neil

Easily my fave car clip. Been posted a few times on the forum but always worth a watch. Ari Vatenen Pikes Peak 1989 in a 405 T16 (if it's already in this thread you can ignore!!!) Different class.

For fitting the new head unit and components yesterday. Thoroughly professional and friendly blokes and a cracking price to boot. Sounds fantastic - stuggled to hear anything comprehensible over 70 on the motorway before but now it's superb. There was a black '56 plate with decals in getting some goodies fitted - was told they do a fair amount of scoobs and it's one of the best cars to get great acoustics in. Pics to follow...

Someone needs to start a Group Buy on these [] http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-ga...un-sentry-robot

Thanks for all the replies guys - much appreciated. Cusco - I'll drop you a PM re. prices. Neil

Just remembered that AST only do the coilovers and xmas would need to be cancelled for those []

Decided to give my MY03 STi a dose of handling mods over the next couple of months and looking for some comments from those that have done some Whiteline/AST/a.n.other mods to their car. Planning on a fair few track days next year so daily driving comfort not too much of a concern. Already has Prodrive springs on which have firmed up the ride a fair bit. Looking to find out if anyone has done their mods in stages - i.e. had the rear d'links done, then ARB's then ALK etc. Had a good price from Dunc at Hyptertech for the front/rear alloy d'links, 22m rear ARB and the ALK. Anyone gone for the front ARB as well? Anyone got 24mm ARB's??? Cheers in advance, Neil

Not as bling as your telly [] but mine goes in for an Alpine h/u and components tomorrow to Skidz in Falkirk. Speakers will be SPE-17CS. Was planning on Infinity 6510CS but after explaining what I wanted/budget advice was that the Infinity are excellent in the mid-high range but without a sub they can sound a bit "bright". The Alpines are designed to run off the h/u only as well so because I'm not putting a sub/amp in [yet] they seem like a good choice. As for the Dynamat I had also planned for this but I'm going to seehow it goes without it. Advice again was that it takes a fair bit of time and effort to fit properly (think it needs to be heated to get the best fit??? or purely sales pitch from the guy in the shop...) and if the bass isn't going to be huge it's not worth it. I'll post up tomorrow when it's done. Neil

Never mind this GTR nonsense - check out this LFS vid Get the demo installed - you know it makes sense [] http://www.liveforspeed.net/ I'll download the GTR one anyway but at least with LFS you get around 20 different cars - F1, GT, karts etc..... Neil

"SHESCOOBY" is the one that deals with the membership packs. Official line is 28 days. Drop her a pm to check (think she's been offline a bit recently) Neil

I have a Logitech DF II but don't use it that much (might sell it if anyone's interested - works with the PC and PS2). Anyway - Live for Speed is the one for me. Play that more than anything else. The car physics are just superb. Car skinning is popular - this is my current trusty stead [] (dons flame suit and waits ...) I'll get a hold of GTR 2 as well and see how that goes but would recommend LFS to everyone. Neil
