Just got a call from a mate who went to the cinema at union square and then got followed and pulled on market street/guild street. 3pts for front tints (very very light smoke) advisory for tyre and may have to do a MOT or vehicle test as he running no cat! Seems like grampian po po's latest money maker! IF YOU ARE RUNNING ANY TINT ON FRONT WINDOWS REMOVE IT! Seems I was VERY lucky!

3 per window. Same cops I had, drivin a Disco TD6. A lad on JDMTAS got 6pts last week for his back wheels sticking out past his body. Seems they are crackin down hard on modded cars as they aint after speeders in this weather.

Seems the po po are cracking down on it as I just heard of two more folks last night getting pulled over. One guy got 6pts the other none. Both had to remove the tints there and then or face getting car towed. They checked my car quite thoughly and even looked for a cat and went to town checking tread. They measured my untinted front windscreen and it was 81% - legal is 80%. They stated that no aftermarket tint is legal on the fronts. Glad I got the nice cops rather than the 2 that busted my mate and gave him 6 points there and then!

Mine was 1450 last year with kwik fit(including single payment discount). 3 points, 7k miles, fully comp, no mods ;D, 4 years no claims, JDM V2 STi, parked in private car park during day, private garage at night, imobiliser, thatcham alarm. This year they wanted 1600 so told em to ram it, called them up to get a quote and was quoted 1275. Work that out! Then called Admiral and got fully comp multicar insurance for me and the missus on all 3 cars for 1600! (02 uk ppp sti, 1995 jdm sti, mahoosive izusu trouper 3.5l 7 seater monster) ??with free motorbike insurance?? still unsure about that bit. Customer loyalty! FTW

Nah no tickets, they were even happy to remove the tints for me. Genuinly two really nice cops, saw them and got a wave this morning on the way to work.

Well my time was up! Had em on for almost a year with nearly daily driving with no issues and then got pulled last night at 2am driving into town to pick the missus up from work. Cops were really nice about it and even removed the tint for me. Supposed to let 70% light through the window so lets just say with 8% it failed! They were nice and even checked my tyres for tread and car for any other defects it may have They found nothing else wrong and after a wee chat I was on my way. Ohh well, now I need to get used to people being able to see in.

Glad to hear you got it sorted.

pm me if you need to know a way to open bonnet. Not something I want to post publicly

CONGRATS! :occasion14: :occasion14:

gearbox speed sensor would be my guess or the cable between?

Patches are just as good as a new tyre if: a - done correctly b - correct size patch used c - plugged if hole is visably open d - on a flatish part of the tyre Sillets are good for this, I know of motor bike racers using patched tyres to race on.

Yeah its good reading alright - but there is quite a lot of it!

yes direct fit

Found garaging the car at night and having it in a secure car park during the day gave me a 40% discount.

First of all thanks to Dale for asking me to become RO for Aberdeen. Its something I never though I would be asked but a welcome shock. I am pleased to take on the role and am looking forward to help both bring the club forward and gather up more intrest in the local area. I have met a few Subaru owners recently who know nothing about the club so I will continue to attend various car/club meets and hopefully get some new members. Dunk I am sorry if you feel that I was given the position in an underhanded way but I was and still am unaware of the full roles/responsibilities/procedures (still reading through the mountains of threads to play catch up ) and simply took on the role as I was asked. I can assure you I gave it quite a bit of thought to make sure I can dedicate enough time to the role.

Surely Kaz should be upset and angry with the members who voted/did not vote? Dale and Glyn simply put themeselves forward for the positions as they felt they could improve the club for its members. Unfortunatly, wherever there is a winner someone has to lose and not get what they want. Sure its disapointing but is this the way to go about things? Put the thoughts/feelings of the clubs members first and let it move forward.

making the for sale and wanted sections members only may be a good idea. That coupled with slightly lower membership rates and renewal discounts might help with numbers.

I feel the membership price is fair, I made it back within a week as my local garage do 10% discount for members. The track days are also superb, well organised and very good value for money as a member. I do see the sense of lowering the amount however to get a larger number of subscribers and a more active membership once again. Maybe do a reduced rejoining fee? Get a free tshirt after 5 years? Umbrella or hoodie after 10?

-18 now dunk brrrrrrrrrrrr

Welcome to the SIDC! Most new members start with a scooby related question, where's yours lol.

I do not even know where to start! I think all this talk of "us and them" and "north of the border" is simply discusting! I am outraged.

If its a PPP it will be around the 315BHP mark I do believe.

Well done to BalliSTIc & thefastone on their new shared position as Secretary and membership secretary. Lets hope they- a: move the club forward b: dont dress for the part

LOTS going on - full engine build after it lost compression, just this second sat down after fitting a walbro pump. Interior fully removed except dash. Lots planned for the winter too!

I have a couple EEE PC's and they are really good - just watch out for the early models that stated they had 30GB hard drive. They infact had one 10GB and one 20GB drive. Windows filled up the 10GB C: drive in no time and then suffered horific memory allocation issues. Stay away from the baby Dells as I get quite a few a week in for repair.
