  1. Love it ... but still good going out in the wagon :beer:

    20 quid it is then :D ....if you turn up :P

    I reckon that after being subjected to my rotten patter for an afternoon you'll be looking for £20 from me as compensation! :hyper:

    Glad you're enjoying the saloon... and shouldn't we be referring to it as the "Cathyalunya"? :)

  2. Thanks again for all the info guys - all very useful stuff :D

    John, I did indeed intend to write 'fuel pump'... just a dumb typo. Nevertheless, the last time I handled a fuel pump, they were purely mechanical, sat on the end of the camshaft, and cost about £12 from the main dealer! (and a fuel filter cost about £1.75) :)

  3. Thats it ... thats what they said!! I am renewing the subscription on the Catalunya
    Typical!

    Are you still enjoying the new ride, apart from this tracker kerfuffle?

    (not giving you a tenner too though lol)

    Gosh darnit - and that could've been a great reason to turn up for the next Borders meet!

    Should've made it twenty bucks... :D

  4. Cheers for all the replies guys :D

    OK, it sounds very much like a remap is in order after fitting a sportscat exhaust. I had hoped I might be able to carry out a 'stage 1' engine performance mod (exhaust, air filter, fuel filter and map) in separate installments, but given that the exhaust+map really make up the bulk of the expense, I'd be as well doing the lot in an Elsie Tanner. Better start saving then... (or at least clearing the current backlog of tick! :beer:).

    Just one question about the sportscat system itself... is it a full system from the manifold back? i.e. are both the factory cats replaced with one (or two) 'sports' cats? Or some other configuration?

    Thanks again :)

  5. Does anyone know of an off-the-shelf 'sportscat' system for a MY06 2.5 STI? I'd be interested to know the going rate.

    Also, is a remap absolutely necessary to avoid fecking anything?

    Thanks.

  6. Christmas 'adverts' on the tranny in October ffs keep christmas special & leave it till at least mid Nov :D
    Quite - three days' build-up before xmas day would suffice IMHO!
    kermit the frog
    Whit?! The wee green kint's a legend ! Not to mention Fozzy, the stand-up genuis... and Rowlf 'King of the Keys' :D
  7. Some of you keen eyed folkes out there will notice the front lower splitter is missing!

    Mine never had one - have I been did?

    Always thought it was just the RB320s that came with the lower splitter as standard...

  8. Its should be named the Mediocre lane for boring, annoying, people carrying, school running, flat capping, bus driving, woman chatting, ****heading prats!

    :iagree:

    I'd like to add those Halfords adverts that bookend the commercial breaks on Dave - honestly, could they be any more inert and unfunny!? :thumbup:
