    Wheel Bearing

    in Scottish Scoobies

    Is that warranty only valid if fitted by them?

    I have heard good things about SW Motorsport - but a bit of a trek considering I don't want to further damage it.

    I was going to do DIY, but lack of press is an issue.

    I "THINK" I have an iminant wheel bearing failure, slight "humm" when cornering moderatly to the left (no play when jacked up, just the slight humm/droan).

    Any recomendations as to where to go, and idea of cost too.

    Sooner the better as to not cause hub damage.

    Neutral Position Switch

    Hi,

    Seems the Neutral Position Switch has just about gave up, no AVCS now (it was coming/going during the recent Andy Forrest visit).

    I have ordered one from Ian Greive Subaru (£51.70!! :D ) - quick question, has any one changed on from a DIY point of view? Do you need to remove the gearbox mount or can you squeeze a hand in?

    Plan is to get it on the ramps at rear + axle stands at the front so I can get right under.

    02 STi btw.....

    Boy Racers

    That's a MAJOR pet hate of mine!! I do a serious amount of motorway driving (90-100k per year, obviously not in scoob) and as such I use cruise control a lot, and I can be driving along comfortably gaining on a car, pull out to overtake and suddenly find that I'm no longer pulling on the car, and in fact, the TW@T has all of a sudden decided to increase his speed, even though he hasn't for the last visible few miles..... Do these people not actually pay attention to what's happening around them? Or do they get some kick out of making someone pull back in?

    Does my head in too, especially in the lorry on cruise at 56mph - muppets sitting at 55.5mph but the feel offended when I attempt an overtake and then speed up (baw bags).

    Boy racers make me chuckle, especially the ones who get tick to by a VXR and think they can take on all!

    They should stick to the X-Box as 99% of the time their lack of driving skill shows them up.

    Bc Coilovers Fitted

    The BC's were fitted to mine when I bought it (been on for approx 6k) - great ride, amazing handling when coupled with the Whiteline Anti-Roll bars, Drop Links, Anti Lift kit, Poly bushes etc plus Prodrive Alignment.

    You won't look back! Night and day from standard STi/Prodrive shocks in my opinion.

    Afp Remap - Quick Question

    in Scottish Scoobies

    Posted

    Hello....

    My car is going in to Andy Forrest for a remap tweek this week after fitting a APS CAI plus mapped from 95ron to 99ron fuel.

    Anyway, question is - as it's the October week with the kids being off, would I be better getting a babysitter for my 8yo who I would be watching?

    Or is the remap kid friendly (she is more of a Scooby nut than me truth be told)?

    (sorry, remap virgin here)

    ;):lol:

    My 20g Ye Ha

    i will see how i get on with the 20g before i contemplate going bigger

    I give you 3 weeks on that scale ;)

    Glad you got one in the end!

    Just don't let me feel the difference between the VF35 in mine please, I have made a statement to her in doors that I will keep this one as is, not that it needs much apart from a little more power!

    (the remap next month should keep me content for a while, hopefully)

    :P
