She sure is a nice beast, had a few issues with the rear suspension but hope to get those all ironed out in the next week or so. Silver one was sold (sadly) she served me well but the mileage was creeping up so thought i'd best replace her... Anyone out and about soon, not seen much action on here tbh over the last few months.....?

Hi Everyone, It has been a while since the last meet, i can see another thread a few days ago,is there a meet happening in Witney now or have these been abandoned? New addition to the family After a fair bit of polishing Richard

Hi, would those have been replaced when the rocker cover gaskets were changed?

Hi All, I am after a little bit of advice, i had the rocker cover gaskets changed 600 miles ago by CS, the O/S was leaking slightly and I could smell and see smoke coming from that side of the engine when going over 2500 revs and also at times when idle. Here is the problem, i didn't drive it very far for the last week so she never realy warmed up as i was staying near my place of work, i dont rag it or anything like that when cold, but when i had to return to Oxford I could smell oil buring again, i presumed it was the car iin front of me (hoped), yesterday when cleaning and letting her warm up before going out for a spin when I pulled away there was a huge plume of blue smoke and then all was clear again, i pulled over and checked and once again on the O/S near the turbo smoke was coming out, it doesnt appear to be alot of oil but it is very hard to see if it is coming from around the turbo or further down...(you can only see smoke and not oil) Anyone think that the turbo is on its way out of (fingers crossed Not) the rocker cover gasket is leaking again, the thing that worries me is how did it find its way out throught the exhaust? if the turbo is on its way out, shall i go for a IHI VF34 or the stock, or just get it replaced and then see about replacing her? help : Rich

That sure was a nice easy fix, wish mine was the same after the service today Wasnt as bad as i thought,, shame about the other problems with her, anyone know or have two fog lights for a MY02 Scooby Richard

Hi Iain, It's been a while, sorry for not being able to make the last couple of meets. Sent you a PM to see if you can offer some advice. Thanks Rich

Hi Stu, I managed to do a quick wave back, was running late, on my way up to Cotswolds to get her serviced.. It's going well, shame the same can't be said for the car, service went ok but alas there is a problem, i'll give a quick rundown of how to best descibe the problem and what the solution could be. Problem I noticed that there was a problem with acceleration, the power appeared to come in waves but if you pushed it it seemed ok, i asked CS to check it out for me while having a service. Fault could be The wastegate controller isnt getting any message from the ECU to do anything, the turbo apears to dump the pressure out somewhere (didnt understand all of it) and drops off without warning then builds back up again, it must be a fast process i guess, the boost pressure went up to nearly 1.2 and drops to 7. something. ECU possible replacement required Oh dear, it seems to drive ok though as long as it isnt kept within a certain limit.. How's it going with you? Hope to be on the next meet if the car hold up Rich

Hi Andy, That took a while for me to answer didn't it, wonder if your still tracking this page... I had an Afterburner Vortex fitted with centre pipe, while there thought i'd also have the fast flow panel filter fitted. Sounds very nice now, still got some problems with acceleration, but it's being serviced at the end of hte month i'll see what they can figure out. How have you been? Rich

Hi Stu, Thanks for that, not been on here much over the last month or so, wish i had spotted the photo shoot in Radley, that looked like a good day. Hope to catch up wiv you alll soon Happy motoring. Rich

Hi All, Nice to have met you all today, Anyone know when the next one is on? Hopefully we can all go for a nice run as well as the nice pub food that we had today, be nice to buzz Burford with 8 or more cars I forgot my camera yet again, anyone got any more pictures from today? Take care all, as Iain said on another post there are some idiots out on the roads , especially on a Sunday for some reason.. Rich

Hi All, Looks like the weather is going to cool down ready for the meet on Sunday, thats a good thing I reckon Just wondered if anyone has ever purchased or used the products on this site: Waxamomo Might purchase some, any feedback? Rich

Ah,, oops never saw you, i'm normally good at waving my arms around, soz about that I got a centre section and back box (not straight version) both "afterburner", sounds very nice though. While I was there also had the filter changed for the max flow green thing, not sure what has made the difference but, well it seems alot more power at the bottom end and the turbo seems to make a bit more of a noise now, is that a good thing? Oh well you can hear her on the 7th I'll keep my eyes peeled Rich

Hi all, Count me in guys Av the new exhaust fitted for that one, getting it fitted tomorrow, you'll hear me coming! 1. Big 'D' 2. Stu and the tribe 3.gc8-r 4.Andyjudge (maybe the tribe) 5. S.i.m.o.n +1 6. Andy WhisperUK work depending 7. Richard Bakerzone +1 8. 9. 10 Rich.

Hi Ya, I need to check what fittings I have on my original as its an STi one, I never fitted it so may need to get it up in the air to make sure what i get will actually fit Out of them I think it would have to be the Vortex as I drive it to and from work everyday so need to keep it as normal (whats the word I need) as possible. Mines the silver one on the end Mine I'll up load some more pics soon Rich

Hi, Looks like it has to be one of these then Vortex Next month that is, not long to go now Rich

Hi Chris, Yes hope to meet you @ the next meet.. Would be nice to see lots on a drive by.. Rich

Hi Iain, It was a good meet, sorry you were a little tied up so to speak. I'm sure that I will be attending many more to come, weather, scooby and the list could continue If anyone doees come across a nice back box for my Scooby, drop me a message please...Was thinkin of one of these Ninja II What you think? Richard

Hi All, It's Richard, thought I had better join as i met upi with you guys this morning. It was nice meeting you all, wanna make that jump again now as well...
