That and a proper boot!

Me personally, I bought and fitted the straightest exhaust I could find from downpipe to tailpipe. Mix matching parts isn't the best for performance. Though if you're not fussed about performance, If you like the sound and look, knock yourself out!

Yeah, it's bloody awful. Just seen it on the box...

The condition of the M90 and A90 are ok but it's the most boring ba$tard drive in the country!

Godspeed has probably as many supporters as non supporters. His warranty claims are decided by him after youve paid for your already suspect discs to be posted which isnt cheap and even worse if he decides they are not to be replaced. That said, I've had GS rear discs and Kevlar pads on the RA for 2yrs now without issue. I've yet to find an unhappy ASP customer. Redstuff pads are kak. There are so many other better options including Pagid, Mintex, Ferodo and PF.

Ok, you need to speak to Alyn Stockton of AS Performance. He's very knowledgable on brakes - manufacturers, their products and how they compare both in performance and cost. He's a good bloke, his prices are very competitive and he'll sell you the right product.

As above PF pads are very good. IF you go performance friction - without rubbishing certain PF dealers, don't go for cheap bell options with PF rotors, get the genuine PF bells. I nearly did and am now saving for the real thing, I've heard not one good story about the non PF bells regardless of whose they are. I recently had a chat with a member who bought some brembo fitment discs on eBay and was delighted with them, they weren't dear too.

Cracking project Davie, keep the updates coming! Hopefully see you in June.

Welcome now you've taken the plunge!

Someone will correct if I'm wrong but Andy and Grant went different ways and now Andy has a very good name for himself as RA Motorsport in Perth.

Anyone want one? I've got one gathering dust..

My RA isn't going to be there either unless I get a serious funds and effort injection...

PPP is different for different years but I believe the information you're after should be on the prodrive website. That's where I saw it last.

I wouldn't call it a golf course... More of a selection of fields with holes in... Gairloch golf course on the other hand, is fantastic but only 9 holes.

Tek3 means its been remapped with EcuTek software I believe. The idle could be down to quite a few things. If you're mechanically minded, do a fault code check using the wires under the steering column. My initial thoughts would be of either MAF sensor (common failing of the v5/6) or a lambda sensor or the wiring for these items. It could also be a leak in the exhaust if near the lambda sensor, I've had that before. If you're not mechanically minded, hopefully there's a local member who is...

Jesus that's a clean P1 Chris!

Cracking job on the arches and bumper bar there Rich. Wanna do mine now? What engine spec are you running? Last I remember was speaking to flash (iain) gordon yonks ago and he reckoned about 350?

Since we are posting three pics... Launch at ingliston In motion at Ingliston and this one parked at Loch Maree side by Slioch...

Just keep going and as long as you don't ever stop to add up what you spend, it's all good fun! I would probably cry over what I've spent...

Of course it depends on te car you start with. On a newage STI there's nothing major mechanically required up to 400hp plus maybe a little more depending on sympathy. If its a classic then upwards of 400hp it's probably best to look into or be prepared for an engine rebuild and either PPG box or 6 speed. All of which will quickly swallow up your 10k budget.

For me, trackdays are all about fun. So I'd go down the power and brakes route first. Though for what I would like to fit, it would quickly swallow up £2K. Even if just a remap, your looking at £300 at the cheapest. If you're lucky, you're already running brembos so Performance Friction brakes will 'only' be about £1000 including decent pads fr front and rear. That takes care of go and stop. Handling I'd start with front and rear ARB's, ALK and a full geo setup. That'll leave you with spare cash to carry out to a service after the big day and some towards the imminent need for new tyres. Of course savings can be made on the above buy either buying alternatives or going down the second hand route.

Welcome back rich, look forward to seeing yourself and the car at a track day this year!

Fair enough. Possibly because its Easter weekend? If it wasn't, I would have been there. Maybe lots of people waiting for the summer after winter hibernation?

Wasn't a direct dig at you. Just a general observation of a lot of people willing to whinge about the current state of the club and events instead of contributing positively to build it back up again.

I'm a bit tired of people moaning about the lack of scoobs at and on track. If you don't like it go buy one and get out there!
