  1. FIT scooby driver!

  2. I want to come, i see Goblin is going and frenchie too so maybe i can join the convoy along the way. Just going to the website to book in. can i join in somewhere on the M1 danh sarf?
  3. oh god i have a stitch!
  4. WELL DONE!!!!
  5. Very nice, maybe the way to go. Might look at some 17s then so i can upgrade. Was looking for the 4 pots to go on but cant find any sensibly priced
  6. Did you have to go up a wheel size for the Prodrive kit? Im definently looking at doing my brakes as the next mod. Mine is running EBC redstuff pads, and srilled and grooved discs.
  7. AH! right! i understood the original brakes were 2 pots, maybe youre right there was a change over period. Lucky that you got the better brakes! The new brakes have stickers? must be another way of shaving money off production costs. I have seen some subarus come in with CUPRA brakes on them. and obviously ive seen some of the Grp.N models with Porche brake kits. Learned something new today! thanks guys!
  8. Sorry mate, i am south england. Surely theres some places up there that will look for you?
  9. BREAK A LEG MATE!!!!
  10. would deffo say something mechanical in the engine rather than boost pipes off. Someone else posted today about a mech fault!
  11. I get the feeling you either have bad luck with turbo'd cars or are ragging the **** out of them expecting them to perform way above their safe limit. The scoobs and celicas are made to run UNDER their max power limit for safetys sake by the manufacturer. We can get a bit more out of them and use that safety zone a bit. BUT unless you start to change internals, if you run them at high speed for prolonged periods, you stress the internals beyond their capabilities. The rally engines we built could take the extra power output, (most of you guys are running MORE than a rally car anyway!) but could do it for prolonged periods. Never-the-less, these engines were rebuilt after a few HOURS of work not MONTHS or Years!! Track days are hard on the engine, but noone does track days EVERY day either. Loads of factors play in whats happened here. Oil changes? Cool down periods? warm up times? what did the previous owner do? When i sold my EVO6 to someone, they said they had bought another one and it blew up within weeks. They found out that the previous owner had turned the boost up, ragged it and got the stratings of failure. so he put the boost down to lower than factory and sold the car! this poor guy bought it and ran it, turned the boost back up to factory and POP!! i echo what i said earlier, too many variables too many things that can go wrong.
  12. Where can i get some flaps like that?
  13. i am deciding between black or white. black looks cool! especially with diamond cut rims
  14. IS there any sauce in here? Or have i stumbled upon this page from the brown-ketchup-lovers forum?
  15. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
  16. Thats a total invite for everyone to attack!!!
  17. it was the offshoot on Beetles and their plus-points that dragged the thread along i believe!!! LMAO!!!!!
  18. Someone must have fitted the 4 pots as they are not STANDARD on a 98 uk spec. My 98 UK spec is the original 2 pot calipers. Check yours say SUBARU on them if theyre 4 pots. The 2 pots have the clamp side showing on the outer part rather than pistons.
  19. Did nobody mention that we are all closet stalkers???
  20. Some of you guys are absolutely brill with the cameras! From race pics, full action to these very very artistic and vivid pictures, they are all amazing! The second picture is absolutely brilliant! ID love to see more of them if you do it again.
  21. I wasnt really knocking them per se....... but have you ever driven a standard one? GOD!!
