  4. cheers for the replies guys, probably gona go for the scooby world one, gona see if they have the piaa super silicone wipers as well does anyone have them? what they like? cheers jebus
  5. does anyone know where to get one of those exhaust bumper protector things, dont know a technical name for it you usually get them in carbon or metal? it would be for a hawkeye. does anybody already have one fitted? cheers jebus
  6. road car needs a front splitter!! other than that yum yum
  7. in what sense? in a car or on the
  8. simple answer....shop around! insurance companies will give us all different quotes, even if we all entered basically the same details! ive had quotes from companies and got another quote from them a week later thats dearer??
  9. ahhhhh VAG one of my favourite things!!
  10. yeah but you drive like a girl snudger!
  11. what about a skoda octavia estate? possibly a vrs?? should be able to get one for around 15k. never owned one but know a few people who own the all new skoda and not the laughing stock from when i was younger and they cant fault them. economy must be good on them as they seem to be the choice of the private taxi driver!
  12. when im up tesco cumbernauld or any car park for that matter i take 2 spaces, stops the clueless fuds from being able to park next to you!! OR alternatively get yourself a child and park in the parent and child spaces, loads of room in there!!
  13. yes merry christmas everyone and happy birthday jesus!!
  14. yeah but the bung normally fits inside, not bolted on the outside!
  15. may have to start a trend and fit mine that way!!
  16. make sure its a later 2004 model (54 reg), they made a few changes and was actually quicker than the same Ep3 model from before. other than that having owned one from new for 5 years from 2004 check the back of the engine (would need to be done from under the car) and make sure there is no oil running down, can be as simple as incorrectly fitted oil filter or more serious and costly some of the seals going. this is the only problem i know of. other than that they are generally bullet proof in 5 years i didnt have one single problem. service history, and be sure to cane it to they redline to make sure engine is sound, they are high revving and need to be driven high up the rev range to get the best out of the engine. still nothing compared to a scooby though
  17. found this on you tube, what a twat!! how can you put it on backwards, look at it FFS!!!
  18. is that the fast road discs and the kevlar pads?
  19. warped discs were my origional thought but as its only happend 2-3 times in the past 2 months and im not getting any feedback through the pedals or steering it has me stumped?? the disc look fine, although i know slight warping would be hard to spot. cheers jebus
  20. when braking from high speeds a couple of times in the past 3 months (but not all the time) there has been a strange noise present. its hard to describe but its kind of like duda duda duda duda??? (no laughing at my impressions!!!) i know my pads are getting low and will need changed so could it be anything to do with that?? it doesnt happen if i brake from like 70-30mph more when its 90-50mph (not on a public road of course) also as my pads are gona need done does anyone have any reccomendations over the standard subaru ones, as i have the normal wrx brakes on the gb270? not got enough money for a brake upgrade....YET!!!! cheers for any help jebus
  21. i was once told by a reliable source that the wee yellow blocks you get in toilets/urinals placed on the roof on a rainy nite will not only take the paint off but it ****s the metal underneath ans so any re-spray will bubble within weeks. dunno if its true but he was an ex mechanic body shop worker!!
  22. to me it does look deliberate, what about locking valve caps? only you can get them legitametly off?? failing that buy a baseball bat and sit at the window!!!!
  23. i will state just now that i am not mechanically gifted knowledge or practical but... could it not just be the fact that the clutch and flywheel are coming together slower than intended when u press it slowly and as they will be moving at different speeds they are slipping and this is causeing the squeeling. where as if you press it normally they are in good contact pretty quickly and so as a result no slipping squeeling? feel free to correct me anyone if im talking mince but its just a thought? cheers jebus
  24. scotty you know that im gona tell you to get the blitz nur spec r like mine!!! you know you want to!!!!!
  25. cheers for the comments guys, glad its going down well was thinking of green calipers, but wasnt really sure as i think the next thing am gona do is upgrade the brakes. done enough to the appearence, so now its the mechanical stuff cheers jebus
