  1. Nice looking with a set of alloys not to my liking at Alyth golf club today? Also looked like it was a bit lower than standard with a nice angled exhaust.
  2. Sorry to hear that Andy hope you get it all sorted. pity im going to miss knockhill Car looked sweet with the massive WRC wing when i was in picking up the BC's
  3. 1. Warm your tyres before any realy agressive driving 2. Don't crash 3. Make sure you have at least 1/2 a tank at all times or you will get fuel surge.
  4. I would say you must have Looking good as always mate. EDIT BECAUSE I love to repeat myself I do I do I do
  5. Looks sweet Cal. Prefer the Seibon Carbon badboy myself although I may be somewhat bias in that Dept.
  6. Good luck Andy sure you will show em what it's all about!! Grant are you having an open day this year? Oh and thanks for the crank seal Pete picked up last week your life savers
  7. Looks sweet mate a worthy replacement Loving that colour. U must have your camera on some funny setting though as it looks awful dark for 86F
  8. I fitted a pair of these to the RB5 sound superb good for scaring grannies mine are currently jammed behind the headlight will need to make a bracket when i return home
  9. I would say just wrap the downpipe. Ebay has a wide variety of wraps available. Get metal tie wraps to hold it on as jubilee clips become loose . Before doing it chuck the whole role in a bucket of warm water for half an hour this means when it dry it will shrink and fit better. Also get some high temp paint and paint the wrap once dry which will make it better insulated and make it last longer. hope that helps
  10. U changed it after it slipped once? I made 100% sure it was knackered before i did it. It is alot of money to spend to find out the old one was ok?
  11. I just fitted a new clutch yesterday. Clutch was about 200 Crank oil seal 15 Labour 50 Thanks god for a mate who used to work at AWD I assisted although he did most of it. In total it took about 3 hours including drinking 15 beers (no i didn't drive home) Only problem we found was the bits of swarf stuck to my magnetic gearbox drain plug
  12. Looking good mate I nearly got lifted one night for being up there in the car. Used by people paying for a bit of love i believe.
  13. Its not me anyway. Could be greig although i think there is another grey classic about think it is an sti. Only just seen it in the passing. Better not be an rb5 as iv yet to see another since getting mine.
  14. BC coilovers are realy good. About 600-700 all in. I fitted a set a while ago and they are superbly engineered and on the softest setting they are softer than normal suspension.
  15. Glad to hear you got all sorted out mate. Told you the fault would be something daft Not good to hear that he could not do your diagnostics as i was wanting mine checked before mapping with Andy F
  16. Did you get the car serviced/fixed then mate? Peace of piss to fit alot easier on a ramp to be honest
  17. Im offshore just now not due home till 2moro. Hope everybody involved is ok not good to hear. Bond again!! There has to be questions now surely 2 in 6 weeks
  18. The last time i did it i just pulled all the leads off the coilpack as i was unsure as to which sensor to unplug.
  19. Looks like I missed a good day hopefully make a track day later in the year depending on how my mapping goes in May
  20. I have had both a 2.5" and 3" on my car. To be honest i think the 3" actually lost me torque but i de-catted at the same time so could have been that. People recon a lowered powered car 350bhp and less drive better with a 2.5 rather than a 3 inch
  21. I don't think you need a 3" exhaust unless your aiming for 400bhp You would be fine with just an Ecutek ecu remap although Simtek's sound nice as they do away with the troublesome MAF plus you can have a launch control and anti lag added. Im pretty much standard now MY99 RB5 and have booked mapping for May and am fitting A VF23, FMIC, FPR (already have full 3" de-cat), 3 port boost solenoid. I should hopefully make about 330BHP I think your standard turbo is ok for this sort of power Alcon 4 pots are fine I have fitted BC coilovers, whiteline anti roll bars, anti lift kit and uprated drop links and it has helped the handling no end Hope that helps Ciaran
  22. For the cost of new disks and pads you could nearly buy a normal GTR lol Bet they still all sell ok though. It was the same with the Maclaren SLR when it came out and owners were asking for normal disks instead of carbon to avoid the cost
  23. Same here only rain up here in the Shetland basin
  24. To be honest the liners did there job on my car. The rust had started due to the underseal all coming off. The arch liners have been attched back on using a bit of tiger seal so should hopefully stay water tight.
