To prevent unwanted attention from the Plod a bung would have been a good idea Peter, but will just take my mp3 player & phones just in case it's that bad.

LOL But seriously, a potential long motorway drive with a close ratio box and a LOUD exhaust .

Very much a last minute request I know, but I'm off on my travels to look at a nice little Classic tomorrow and realised that I'll be deafened on my travels back North if I do end up buying it. Does anyone in the Glasgow/Central area have a 4" Exhaust Bung I'd be able to borrow off you today ahead of my journey tomorrow? Cheers, Phil.

Ah, right. I saw a set of front seats with McRae & Ringer signatures on them last week. They were in the same grey colour, so would they also have been from the JDM V-Ltd?

Cathy, here's the front seats from a different seller: Series McRae Front Seats Here's the matching rear seats, I think it might be from a JDM V-limited stira 555 though? Rear seats complete

I had 18" Innovite Tarmac that fitted over my Bug STi Brembos no problem, possibly same offset as yours. I'd say give them a go, but have some cheap spacers handy to bung on as a last resort, and go easy if you do use the spacers until you get replacement wheels or a set of hubcentric spacers .

Take some chocks or something to wedge your tyres with, because you should leave the brakes off whilst cooling down between track sessions. Nice build thread .

This would be your worst nightmare about your pride and joy! Thankfully I've got a Valet Map I can upload to the car in around 60 secs, and this basically limits the performance to buggery so there's no way the car can be revved or driven hard when in the garage . The hidden camera is def a good idea though .

I'd be up for this too if I'm off shift .

I had a similar thing happen with my Bug STi. Turned out that one of the mounting lugs for the expansion bottle had come off and the rad fan had struck the bottle half way up and perforated it slightly. It was only when the contents rose up to that level that I'd get a leak and a small amount of steam where it dripped onto hot parts. Worth a proper check of the expansion bottle just in case .

The King is dead! Long live the King! Nice one Kenny . Edit: King Kenny

Could you not just stick on a small section of clear vinyl as a sacraficial protection? I'd be loathed to start drilling holes for something that looks naff (only my opinion though).

The idea of the spacesavers is to fit the rear wheel and swap a good wheel onto the front if that's whats flat .

What about the Legacy diesel estate? Ticks all the boxes in my books. Quite fancy one of these myself when its time to wave goodbye to the A4 quattro sport V6 TDi. AWD, Boxer engine(remaps well so I'm told), Great mpg and has plenty of creature comforts if you get the top version (Heated leather, satnav, panoramic glass roof).

Accomodation is booked solid 12 months in advance, but you may be able to get a pitch in a campsite if you're lucky. Deffo worth going over for the middle weekend (Mad Sunday) and taking in all the sights and there'#s lots to see and do outwith the actual racing ;o)

Yeh, I agree Arch. I passed by a car pulled over by two WPCs just off the 1st roundabout before you get to the traffic lights heading out of Kirkie on Friday late afternoon. They also gave me the stare as I joined the bypass roundabout from the Loch Road side .

Well done for getting the bug rebuilt and back on the road, enjoy

Happy Birthday Kenny, hope your bug is reserected soon too :waving-santa: .

I'm sure they will fit as they're both 100pcd. AFAIK Kiera had a set on her classic wagon at one point?

With the iphone starting to lose popularity due to the emergence of the Android phones, I thought I'd start a thread for users to post up their favourite Android Apps. Here's just a couple to start the ball rolling: Rock Radio Player-internet connection to the best Classic Rock radio station around.(Free) Play Golf App-uses GPS to give you ranges etc for a very accurate round of golf.(Free) BBC iPlayer-for live and archived BBC television viewing.(Free) SKY Remote-record with your sky+ box from anywhere.(Free)

Looks a lot better than before Chris. Would be interesting to see how it would go around some of the arger tracks ala T/A??? Looks great so far .

I got myself an A4 TDi Quattro Sport and just love the car. Definitely wouldn't consider a rwd Beemer after seeing so many of them stranded on small inclines last winter .

Bloody hell Richie, are you still milking this "I've got a sair haun" thread?? I'd have thought you'd have sorted this out with lots of (Physio) by now

I put this very same Ninja II backbox on my Blobeye in place of the Prodrive one, but it was deemed to be a tad too loud for trying to sneak in/out the driveway quietly in the small hours of the morning due to my shiftwork. If its extra throaty noise you want I'm sure it'll suit you down to the ground .

Kiera, when I used to do off-road Enduro biking on my KTMs I had a full upper body armour jacket similar to this one: Body Armour It was very effective for my many offs, and very comfortable to wear all day on and off the bike. I got mine from the bay of E, as you'll get lots more choice than any one shop IMHO. I think Evans Cycles at Braehead has a decent range of 661 Downhill MTB armour which is as good as MX gear as well. Hope this helps .
