superb Kenny thats a great result

Mark they are just great, the ones i took are pants will try and get the rubbishy better ones up later.

top drawer pictures to match a top weekend, thanks to Tam, Brian and Gus for pulling it all together really was a great weekend with top weather and top company.

Nice one Cathy keep it safe

Nice one Cathy glad it came your way

aye liking that Neil looks really good and a wee bit different, there was a matt black scooby on the total impreza stand on Sunday, it looked different and I can see why ford and bmw are all going down that road as it does look like a stealth bomber

have used goodyear gsd3's for a while now and cant fault them for wet grip,dry grip and lifespan but then i do drive like miss daisy....

loved toyos on the classic but found them a bit too slidy in the wet on the blobeye,didnt feel like they heated up enough

John every type of yoko's i ve tried have been the same from a509s to prada 2's, dreadful in the wet ,ok in the dry but broke away very suddenly

out of curiosity what tyre pressures are people running on newage 18s?

and hope this means your keeping the wrx Neil

Hi Dave

Running 32 all round at the moment and seems to suit the car, the spec 2s are great to a point and your right you have to back off before they break away on you.

See you at knockhill at the weekend

3rd time lucky, and I'd just like to say a big thanks to Andy Forrest for his patience and great mapping work, and to Dunc at Hypertech for sorting out the few minor issues I had last week .

Managed to get around 336bhp/325ftlb and a very useable amount of power from the TD05 16g and supporting mods, with a little bit more still to come. The only downside of all this is that it took me two and a half hours to get home afterwards, when it only took me 1 hour on the way there .

Lovin the big grin now

P.S. Andy, the restrictor has really smoothed out the boost needle no end, cheers

Nice one Phil glad you are a happy man, great figures and an even better journey home, if Carlsberg did journeys home that was it

dont mean to hijack this thread and hope itt doesnt seem like i am or that im trying to , but while on the subject of tyres, may i ask what and if anyone has any opinion on nitrogen filled tyres instead of normal air filled,

i have a cosco membership card and was at the cosco up at next to ikea in edinburgh ,loanhead area, and in their tyre section they were advertisng filling your tyres with nitrogen instead of air, saying they last longer etc etc , but didnt see a price and never heard of anyone having their tyres filled with it before,

so as i said dont mean to hijack but anyoen had any experience with filling your tyres with the stuff?

Hi Big Felly here is Revolution 24/7 take on it

Research from Uniflate has shown that running on tyres that are underinflated by as little as 4psi can increase fuels bills by 5%. In the UK it is estimated that 19.5 million motorists drive on under-inflated tyres, getting Nitrogen inflatation could give them an annual saving of £62.50 each.

Under inflated tyres also run an increased risk of punctures as well as having a significant effect on your vehicles performance both in handling and daily running costs. Uniflate have produced a stable inflation mixture of 97% Nitrogen (not to be confused with Helium - which is flammable) it has improved pressure retention properties that will ensure tyres remain fully inflated for longer.

No wonder all F-1 Teams have been using Nitrogen inflation from Uniflate for the last 20yrs and its now compulsary in the airline industry too.

The main benefits are;

•Improved Handling

•25% More Tyre Life

•5% Reduction in Fuel Use

•Pressure Retention

•Shorter Stopping Distances

•Safer Driving

Neil I am on Yoko Parada spec 2 tyre great in the dry just dreadful in the rain.

cheers

John

Well done guys top day stand looked great, no surprises at all that Tams car won looked as good as ever.

Hi,

Been noticing a sort of metal on metal noise from the front of my scooby when turning right on full lock recently. Only seems to happen at slow speed and I had presumed it was my mudflap as they do drag along the ground after the tein coilovers were fitted. Spent an hour today removing all my mudflaps and the noise is.........still there!

Not sure what it could be as couldn't see anything loose / dangling when I took the wheels off. Just wondering if it could it be brake related, sticking caliper maybe?

Cheers,

Peter

Sometimes these cars suffer from diff lock that causes that noise like a crunching of metal when you turn in hard at slow speed, ask big D in the tech section he knows about these things.

totally shocked, that car was incredible, so sorry to hear that dreadful news, glad everyone was ok.

Im happy whatever choice, i just love a blast in the car!

What about a highland fling and a lowland toss later in the year?

Lol you heelanders are not coming doon here to toss yer cabers

"the caber toss is a traditional Scottish athletic event practised at the Scottish Highland Games involving the tossing of a large wooden pole called a -----" fill in the blanks

Anyhoo it sounds like a cracking idea

looks fabtastic Bobby

All the best for this year Scott, and looking forward to your superb write-ups again

All the best for the season and you will be getting a big shout from me and all the SIDC gang that watch from the sidelines at Knockhill.

Ah - sorry to hear Phil!! Enjoy that pint....

Aw hell Phil that is a scunner of a day, hope you get it all sorted soon, dont get too drunk over it

There is alwasys some one faster and with bigger balls with more power to be honest be happy with what you have reliability is what you want to be aiming for after the 600 mark thats seems to disapear lol

lol i can imagine Chris it must be great when it works and a nightmare when it does'nt, i have gone as far as i am going at the moment, i look forward to seeing your car one day soon it looks superb and i bet it goes even better,

im getting to drive it? il reserve judgement til then in that case

and john whatever you do dont look at any for sale threads that Gmac puts up or its bank busting time....

I wont I promise I bought the BC's today and that is bad enough, your review on the hatch is one I just canny wait to read, you will be sitting with Del giving you a running commentary of how well it goes.

Nice results there Cruz, Andy does know his onions he he enjoy the car wont be long untill your next visit to him lol

So all i need to find is another 300 bhp to sit beside you on the start line !!!! its just never gonna happen lol, one step at a time for me!!

yea he was done by the dealer,sold him a hatch when he wanted a proper scoob

lol just wait till he reads this!!!

Nice figures John bet it's rapid now

It just flees along its great, will be interesting to see what your hatch belts out when you go, should be impressive.

Is that all? Is that on an Sti? 2.5L?

I'm used to reading this turbo/these injectors etc etc

Ritchie it is 2 litre sti 2005 reg,

I saw the map today of a 2.5 litre on Andys computer and the torque readings are much better on the 2.5

ha that sounds familiar......

makes such a difference doesnt it John,downside is makes you thirst for more lol

lol yer spot on I am already thinking what next!!!

Good stuff. Feel like a new, quicker, car.

Just leave it on and stop playing with the button

Quality never thought of that one

Nice one John just watch your speed now with all these torqueeeee's

how hard is it though !!!! will be giving you a shout next week once the BC's arrive to pay a wee visit to Hypertech and then once thats done thats it.......for this year!!
