  1. Cheers mate, that looks very helpful!! , not sure how it would work with me already taking the car to bits but still might give it a go lol
  2. Thats the plan at the moment but all depends on what my mate comes up with, however he still lives with his parents and they are basically telling him to give me nothing because he's got a criminal record now. (Once this is all over i'll be telling them exactly what i think of their attitude....*****s!!) The car is nearly all stripped, another day on the job and it'll be done. Had to chop the front end off to get the engine out .
  3. only left the keys so they could move the car to get other cars in and out the drive way
  4. Insurance are being awkard because I left the keys in his house, so looks like I ain't getting a penny that way!
  5. very nice, always fancied trying some semi slicks
  6. gonna start breaking it 2moro, so parts will be for sale soon :,,,(
  7. Its unfixable, head on "40mph" into a wall. Fortunately no one was hurt but he's now got a criminal conviction to his name. He wasn't drunk, been out the night before left my car at his house then in the morning i wake up to him begging for help down the phone! I honestly thought he was taking the piss!! But unfortunately not, lost it on a bend (in a 30 zone) and ****ed it into a wall.....Honda driver not used to 400+ ft/lb torque lol. Told him I was a replacement white sti, insurance are likey only to give me sub 10k for the car which is useless....the engine was worth close to 15k, 5k on paint, the list goes on and on!!! Just feels like a really bad dream, wish i could wake up!!
  8. worst thing is, it was my mate who i have known for 20 years who stole it!!
  9. Well guys, gutted to say my car got stolen today and smashed 500 yards from my house Total write off, totally gutted!!! Still in shock!!
  10. I bought it second hand and it had "just been" refurb'd according to the seller but who knows, also I have anti-lag with the simtek which is probs the main cause of destruction lol. (White Blobeye which the simtek boost track cooked itself at Hypertech during mapping, p.s. i've still not send it back to get fixed )
  11. I'm on my second 20g lol, had an AFP one which lasted 3k milles, now on an AET 20g and its lasted 5k miles but think I might be down on torque with the AET. Really good turbos though, virtually no lag and sound awesome too
  12. I get mine from Motac in Stirling, its £44.99 there
  13. I'm in to too, my first magazine appearance!!
  14. I got mine from Roger Clark Motorsport, very fast delivery!
  15. I know how you feel mate, similar thing happened to mine and that how I ended up spraying it white
  16. Welcome to the site!!
  17. lol, class!!
  18. new STI pistons are not upgraded from the WRX so are tending to melt with extra power
  19. A quick buff and that will look like new....... Fibre glass just rips like paper.....ouch!
  20. I think its my N96 Camera and being indoors lol, did the same with a red MX5 with the indoor pics Not sure why it makes the car look 2 different colours, these pics were taken within minutes of each other Thanks for all the positive comments foks!
  21. Does it have an AUX input?? (I've never had the standard headunit)
  22. Arrived Saturday morning, slightly late due to our sat nav being rubbish, to find Cathy's impreza waiting for the detail...this is what we found (forgot my camera again so only phone pics ) This was to be expected due to the age of the car but this wasn't going to be easy, especially against the clock and us running late already. The car was degrease, detar'd and then washed and dried. Into the shed to start the detail, tried a light polish first but got nowhere, heaver polish was still not giving the desired results so had to go extreme and hit the paint hard. ^^ 1st hit with Menzera Power Gloss ^^ then 2 hits of Menzera Final Finish to remove the remaining swirls and refine the finish The car then received Z6, 50/50 wax and a final coat of Z8 Wheels and Door checks polished with Z5 Windows were cleaned with fast glass and plastics and rubbers were treated with Aerospace 303 Heres the results 7 hours later
  23. Car looks great mate!! Will look fantastic once lowered!!
  24. Cheers guys!!!
  25. Thing is a detail ain't a normal valet, its takes hours and hours, a lot of skill to do properly and some pretty expensive products. Costs usually depend on what you want done and what products are used
