mystery machine

The whole point of the character is that no one knows who it is, it's half the fun... I know that it's been "known" for a long time, but It's never actually been confirmed... no matter how many rumours there was...

Great stuff - I felt dirty at first, but came away totally satisfied!

Welcome!

P.S. Welcome to the forum!

A Hawkeye WRX will run on reg 95 RON as per the manual - did so with mine for a while before switching to V-Power, which I stuck with because of the noticeable improvement in performance/smoothness.

Looking good

The missus' folded arms suggest that perhaps she isn't quite as enamoured of the new dials as you are?

Could also be the infamous 'knocking newage shock' syndrome... usually confirmed by checking for sideways play in the shock.

Many miles have your rear shocks done?

Thanks again Tom!

The stig is a character, he is an actor playing a character.

Well, if you put it that way, then my vote goes to Ben Kingsley

i already drilled 2 holes when i had the previous one but that was just for my own preference to make it more secure

apart from that it was a stright swap over,

its only held in with 6 large plastic locking screws that hold the underside of the bumper on and a few screws but all the holes are pre drilled on the splitter so its easy to line up and fit,its much easier if u take the front bumper of unless u have ramps

hope this helps,

cheers tom

Thanks Tom!

Forgot to ask, who makes the splitter and roughly how much does it weigh?

Thanks again, and looking forward to seeing the pics once the lower grille's on

not at all,they fit straight in where the old ones come out,

its very easy to do,couldnt believe how easy it was tbh

It was actually the fitting of the splitter I was most interested in - did you have to drill or make any other permanent mods to the bumper to secure it?

Cheers.

Your splitter looks great and the grilles are a subtle but tasteful mod

Did you have to drill or cut at all to fit the former?

"We have not been able to get out of our house. The road's been closed - I had to walk the kids to school."

That really puts into perspective the gravity of this tragedy.

nope no thick arb on rear and tread is fine , just a slightly squint rear wheel lol

Do you mean 'fine' as in 'the same or more tread at the back than the front'?

Squint wheel might not help either, I suppose

All the berry vest to you both!

And you don't have an especially thick ARB on the back or owt like that?

Not single track...unless your driving a bus

The top part (B7007) isn't single track, but if you're going to head all the way to Innerleithen, or head back across to the A7, you have to take the B709, which looks to be single track for all its length...

Were you suggesting a different route to the above?

Maybe stating the obvious, but how's the tread on your rear tyres vs. the front?

No ta lol ....but your welcome to use it anytime D

Are you sure? What if I threw in the M876 spur as well?

next time you go up the A7 head to Innerleithen from Middleton (Edinburgh side of A7) takes you up the Lammermuirs... the views are amazing ...the roads not too bad either

Looks like a picturesque route, Cathy! Single track though.. I'll maybe take the wee car down some time

Nice one mate. Takes me back

Enjoy

Cheers John!

What are you doing for kicks these days then? (if you don't mind us asking).

Looking good, and well done parking the car in the After pic to within an inch of exactly where the car is sitting in the Before pic

Sounds like you are pleased with the upgrade, that's the main thing.

Thanks Colin! Aye, the photaes are so similar I was feart I might be accused of 'suspension by photoshop'!

Car looks swell Border roads are excellent....use them all the time

Cheers Cathy!

Aye, you Lothian & Borders folks certainly have more than your fair share of good roads! How about a swap... your A7 for our M9?

Yeah, just trying to figure out either KW V3 or clubsport awaiting a phone call today on availability

Interesting that you're considering the Clubsport. Are you concerned that the V3s might be a bit soft for the track, Del?

How is the scoob into corners, well flat?

It's much flatter than before Derek. You particularly notice it when exiting bends - previously the car would become a bit uncomposed as the weight shifted back to centre, now it's much more together and you can get onto the throttle earlier.

You can be more aggressive with the steering inputs too, with less fear of it all turning to blancmange!

You still looking at treating the hatch to a set?

Performed beautifully during a run down the Borders at the weekend

Passed the speed bump test too!
