    What Was Your First Car

    in Scottish Scoobies

    Posted

    First car was an XR4x4i in White..............

    I passed my test in the Army at Leconsfield when i was 17 and it was my old mans car.

    Fair play to him he charged me top whack for it and made me pay every bloody penny.

    I remember my insurance was £2800 third party only and on a squaddies wage that was murder.

    I never went out much i just paid the car up, paid the insurance monthly and just about had enough dosh left for petrol and beer.

    I used to look forward to getting sent to s**** holes like Bosnia or Northern Ireland to get extra cash to pay it off...... :)

    Brake Upgrade

    in Scottish Scoobies

    Posted

    if you have the money to spend then i would go for the ap 6 pots, ive got the 355mm 1s on mine and they are superb, definitely 1 of the best mods ive bought....

    scott

    Totally agree Scott the AP's on my car were the best 2.5k+ i ever spent,

    Kenny if you keep a look out in the For Sale section at the weekend i will be putting a full set of 6 Pot AP's 355mm front and 330mm rears with Black Calipers which have only done 500 miles all road use.

    Taking photos when i get home tomorrow night and will pop the advert up ASAP.

    They will be priced very fairly for a quick sale!

    I cant fault the EXE-TC Scotty. Wet & dry conditions feel really positive.

    As you know they have 40 settings per corner and I run on the road with a 20/20/20/20 set up.

    I have just set them to 27 to stiffen them slightly and you can really feel the difference.

    Yep, the AP brakes on the car are really impressive.

    Good luck with yours ;)

    Thanks i am unsure what to put them up for sale for 2.5k+ only 500 miles ago??

    Yeah EXE-TC's seem the way to go.

    I have seen first hand loads of issues with failed AST's and am yet to hear a bad word about the EXE-TC's, some amount of settings to play with, gives loads of scope for finding the right balance.

    Hats off to you for clearly not settling for anything other than the best for your motor, you have obviously researched EVERY part before putting it on.........takes dedication and a deep pocket!!! Fair play.

    LMAO @ that. ;)

    They are bigger than your steering wheel mate!

    Just had a good read through your S Net thread, same brakes as mine but i have the black calipers!

    Great choice i am actually just about to flog mine cleaning them up as we speak and will be photographing them this weekend ready to post.

    Cracking set up on the car mate!

    How have you found Exe TC? I called them 6 seperate times when i was looking at a suspension upgrade for the RB and they never once called me back! There loss i suppose.

    Hi Paul,

    I called Young Dunc yesterday to let him know the RB320 would not be there so he is in the loop.

    Hopefully we will still have enough cars, i am getting a lift up and will be there to give a dig out being the tea biatch or whatever is needed.

    Anyone contacted Maxxed Ross, was he not interested at putting his RB320 on?

    Regards

    Hi Skull

    Sounds awesome, are you still running standard brakes?

    What about chassis tweaks to help get the power down better and improve handling and control?

    You may have done all of this and apologies if you have.

    With that sort of power a fully supportive package is a must, rather than just the power increase.

    By the sounds of it you have a beast and a half on your hands there mate, fair play, imagine it in the WET..... :thumbup:

    Just spoke to John McCallum - Duncan helped him out no end when he had problems with his Litchfield Type 25.

    He has agreed to bring along his new R35 GT-R for the event and put it on the dyno.

    Please add his name to the list lads.

    Only 1 thing may prevent the run so please be aware.

    The car has not been run in yet and he needs to keep below 3k RPM no use for the dyno, he is currently at 850 miles and will hopefully have it past the 1200 miles needed and the first service done by the 14th.

    Will keep you posted when he has it all done.

    If needed i can always put the RB320 on to make the numbers up as well, totally standard though and being ex Forces quite happy to do a run just for the sake of it and to give some dosh to Charity.

    Regards

    Scott totally agree with you mate!

    I saw your car the day it came from AVA and the big power hike was still a closely guarded secret, will be chuffed for you when it is back on the road mate.

    If it was not for Duncan both myself and my mate John's cars would have taken much longer to diagnose.

    As an example of how committed he is, i can't think of many garages that stay on until midnight on a Friday to get customers cars out of the doors fo a Saturday morning as promised.

    He also ran about like a mad man writing a failure report for my mate the very day he was due to go of on his holidays when he should have been winding down and relaxing (He doesn't know the meaning of the words!!!)

    That and Alex makes a braw cup of tea and the wee man knicks all of his banana milkshake every time we are up there and he doesn't bat an eyelid.....:D

    Hopefully he will also get a good turn out for the Horsepower for hero's event he is running all free with every penny going to the Jock regiments...........Hats off to the man!!!!

    I wouldn't care if i lived hundreds of miles away i would travel to let him work on my car!

    Anybody Know This Car

    I would happily travel 200 miles never mind 20 to let Duncan work on my car.

    Enough said, he is a busy man.

    Can often be found working until daft o'clock to get cars out the door for customers.

    You will struggle to find anyone better.

    Will bend over backwards to help and you can always nick all of his Banana milkshake out of the fridge.......... :hello:

    Small ding in it which would be easily sorted

    If it is any use to you let me know?

    Not after any cash just make a wee donation of a couple of quid to a charity or something mate.

    Speed Cameras For This Weekend

    Just 1 or 2 then................ :)

    Best couple of hundred quid i ever spent - Road Angel Proffesional Connected.

    When you pass a van location which are all stored you just press the "Live" button on the remote so that all other drivers/users on the same contract know that the location is live instantly. You get 2 warnings a standard van location warning and also a live unit warning. The unit updates itself every 30 seconds to ensure you have the most up to date info.

    It has not failed to pre-warn me of a van location yet!

    It even updates to delete cameras that are now removed all without having to plug it into the PC which to be honest is a pain in the ar5e and the main reason people get stung because they forget to update their units!

    Users on the contract can add in new locations for vans/cameras by using the remote and it updates to the database, they verify it then it goes live.

    You can also fit a "garage door opener" :o for laser units.

    I know the North East is trying really hard to reduce the amount of fatalities from both car and bikes looks like they are kicking their campaign off in anger this weekend?

    Regards
