Doug, The original one with all the coverage would be a bit far for most of us IMHO. But if we can organise something a bit more local (at such short notice) hell yeah, I`m up 4 it. No plans for the 21st up2 now Pete

Nice 1 Derek, Just remember and run it in properly m8 That took the whole of 3 days to get the sore bit out the way when I blew red up I can still remember the pain in the wallet yet and how friendly everyone at the petrol stations were Take it easy bud, don`t be in 2 much of a hurry 2 get up into the 7K band. Let it all settle in. Lookin 4ward 2 seeing u on Sunday m8 Pete

Hey folks, Now got a running order of sorts, OWNER RUN TIME 1. Big Daz 09:00 2. Willie F 09:20 3. DRB5 09:40 4. EvoJKP 10:00 5. Bee 10:20 6. Coulster 10:40 7. SG72 11:00 8. Dougie 549 11:20 9. Callum 11:40 10. Dodge 12:00 11. WRXmania 12:20 12. Dave Allan 12:40 ALL RUNNERS PLEASE NOTE, THE ABOVE TIMES ARE A REFERENCE I.E. THE FIRST FEW CARS WILL BE AT LISTED TIMES IF IT TAKES LESS SETUP TIME THEN AFTER THE THIRD CAR IT HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR TIMES TO MOVE FORWARD BY QUITE A BIT, I.E. IF EACH RUN ONLY TAKES 15 MINS THEN BY THE THIRD CAR ALL TIMES ADVANCE BY 15 MINUTES Bearing that in mind please be there as early as possible, incase we get through the cars quicker than expected, or incase we have a last minute drop out (which has also happened in the past). As I`m STILL waiting details from the following peebs, they`ll just have to slot in once the others have run 1. R6 CDW - ? 2. Zander - ? 3. Gregg - UK turbo BTW on Sunday I may have some of my dash top gauge pods for the early scoob wiith me and I will have some of my brand new (just off the machine) anodised billet alloy oil filler caps for the scoob If anyones interested remember & collar me about them. Jus gotta go find the sticky labels for the names now See u all there peebs, bright eye`d n bushy tailed Pete

Derek, U really dont want 2 be standing around when glassfibre is being cut m8, it`s top drawer bad 5h1t. If u bring it with you when we`re finished we can nip over 2 mine & do it right For everyone running on Sunday cost is £35. I was thinkin bout the "not knowing peebs names" thang, an I`ll see if i can get some sticky labels & a marker, so when peebs turn up they can take a sticker bang their name on it n stick it 2 their coat or whatever et viola, everyone instantly knows everyone else What do u guys think ? I talked 2 Jim today & he`s gonna be there early, so if any of the Aberdeen / Dundee peebs wanna meet 4 the run through I`d suggest we meet at the usual Shell station (Caird park filling station) in Dundee (at the top of the Forfar Dual carraigeway) around 08:30. Then we can have a canny drive through to get there around 09:15. How`s that sound ? BTW still waiting details from a few runners, so I can do the run order 2night Pete

Coulster, Got it m8, BTW nice pL8 Pete

Derek, I made up a carbide tipped holesaw to suit A standard one may be able to cope but you wouldn`t get much life outta it i`d suspect. Pete

Sorry to see so many peebs dropping out. But hey, be positive peebs, better to wait till the motas running right, than putting in a 1/2 4ssed attempt My clutch plan had a setback on Sataurday so I`ve had to resort to the backup plan. Remachining my old pressure plate :eek: Unbelievable how many hard spots there were on it But nothin a ceramic cutter couldn`t take care of I`ll need 2 check all sizes now n c whats what Doug u auld spunker no worries m8, if BR is good 2 go I`ll b AVIN IT LARGE an u know it Anyway back 2 topic, The running list will be posted on Thursday night. Now in order to reduce the amount of peebs I end up chasing for pieces of paper can all runners please email me the following details. Please make the email subject "DYNO" : 1. Owner *** 2. Alias to be used, i.e. your forum username or suchlike 3. Vehicle / YM & model 4. Reg. No. *** 5.

Doug, May the force b with u m8 I haven`t got word on the rest of my clutch yet but hey I`ve got a backup plan (I think) Pete

Tatties n gravie, No probs m8 we`ll fit u in, jus come along fella Pete

Jon, YHM mate re dashtop pod << Bet his project didn`t break the bank though like mine >> LOL Maybe not m8 but I wouldn`t take bets on it I`m renowned for not doin things by 1/2. Hey the wife even 2 this day still moans about the £ I threw at the project Most awkward part of the project was getting the electronics to work, tying an STi4 engine into a link wrx road93 ecu was not something that any /many folk in the UK had done at the time Once i had the circuit diagrams though and with some help from the guys at Possum Bourne and Pat I got her up & running Power ??? Dunno bud, what i will say though is she feels A LOT quicker than she was running 304bhp @ 256lbft on the wrx engine. Maybe something to do with the other stuff I re / designed / machined and added when putting her back together. An i`m still not 100% happy or finished yet I jus call her work in progress. Gareth, Not ATM m8 sorry, was focusing on the bits that were not readily available first. I`ll see what I can do though BTW the gauges are : **On A-Pillar oil temp & oil pressure ** In dashtop pod Ammeter, water temp, vac** In dash panel EGT, AFR, Boost **Below panel Blitz DSTT **Below stereo Knocklink & lambda link. Didn`t need any more as the link tells me virtually everything else I know its unusual to have in effect 2 AFRs but I run 2 lambda probs, 1 monitors at the manifold and the other after the turbo. (It`s a double check) Derek, LOL yeah m8 been there, designed the t-shirt & wrote the book Were u at knockhill (think it was last October) when she "let go" ?? Was a belter, I knew there was a prob but insisted on running her (duh) First lap she let me know she wasn`t happy, after the warm up and maybe 5 laps into the session she "let go" But other than waste track time continued on to total about 110 - 120 laps (running on 3 cylinders and still overtaking a large percentage of motas) Still got that engine, for a "when i`ve got time" rebuild Also got a shell of something different which I plan to put it in BTW peebs I have done a prototype for the 97 - 2000 (oddment tray replacement type) Chris, Yeah, Mikes got some good stuff m8 I was gonna be doin bits for him as well, but for some reason it all went quiet L8r peebs Pete

Cheers Derek, Good 2 c some folk appreciate the custom stuff BTW u r rebuild looks like it could be gettin interesting real soon Robbie, IMHO the best setup is to go for all electrical gauges, that way there`s no hoses to worry about routing into the cabin. If you`ve had a look at my cabin shots u`ll know I`ve got experience of fitting gauges M&G, What`s the problem fella ? There sure is a shortage of this type of stuff so if someone finds it and is happy with the product, they`re helping out the scoob community by letting them know there`s no need to re-invent the wheel if they don`t want to or can`t. Yeah ? Dereks jus giving u guys the heads up before everyone knows Pete

Hey peebs, It`s gettin closer now so just a quick update for u. I spoke to the guys at Star on Sunday and the airstrip is not available AGAIN So that`s knocked that on the head, reasoning being they wanted daft money for the hire and we cannot afford what they were asking. So that`s put paid to that Never mind though, we may be able to run some more motas now so keep the requests commin. There`s potentially a few surprise entries as well (keeping them 2 myself till a lot nearer the time) And ATM it`s a bit 50/50 as to if "big red" is gonna be fit 2 run, as she`s slipping the clutch jnow with all the stuff I`ve been workin on recently finally starting to work together so I`m trying 2 put together a bit of a hybrid clutch 4 better bite. Hopefully all will be in & bedded so we can re-map her 2 full force in time for the event. Pete

Derek, U r pods ready m8 Pete

Hey peebs, Jus off the blower to Grant at AWD who has advised me that they will be moving into bigger & better premises within the next few months. So we decided this would be an ideal opportunity to have an SIDC open day. In all probability we are looking at the end of next month / the start of December, so make sure you`ve all got empty diaries around then. This is in the early stages as of yet but hey jus giving you all the heads up on it, so no one can say "but i didn`t know it was on" I`ll keep u all updated as we progress on this Pete

OK peebs dyno date fixed for 9th of November. We are still awaiting confirmation of the airfield availability but irrespective the dyno will be on the 9th. Hope to have word back on the airfield later 2day (all things being equal). For information we could`nt get consecutive dates for the dyno days (a couple of weekends on the trot) so running orders to be sorted out on the basis of the initial post. The dyno window may have to be opened a bit to enable us to run more cars then move onto the airstrip later than initially anticipated (subject to confirmed availability). I`ll keep you all posted Pete

Excellent peebs, As we thought didn`t take long to get the numbers. By no means is the list closed though. We`ll put a couple of consecutive dates 2gether if need be If u folks want it we`ll organise it (cheezy or wot ) These days are always well attended. They are an ideal opportunity for new members to meet up with the regulars and auld timers See what it`s all about, swap info and have a general good crack. Then off 2 the airstrip 2 show if you can drive it as well as you stand by it Keep em commin folks, should have a fixed date soon. BTW Callum, I really woulda liked 2 c u r mota there m8 Pete

Hey Derek, Cost`ll b around £30 for the dyno & £10 for the airfield BTW I mailed u back re the pod m8, if u didn`t get the mail lemme know an I`ll resend u it. Some of the stuff didn`t arrive so realistically lookin at the weekend for completion, sorry. Pete

Oh yeah I`d better start the list No. Owner Car 1. Teknopete "Big red" WRX Add yer names if u wanna space Pete

Hey peebs, Been a loooooooong time in coming but they`re back Haven`t had one for a whilst so, we`re going to put together a dyno day @ Star. Provisionally I`m looking for 12 - 14 scoobs max to fill the day. It`ll b the usual format (worth commin even if just 4 the crack) Date not fixed as yet but we`re initially looking at mid next month (November) as we`re trying to get the airstriip for a play afterwards Dyno places will be allocated on the following basis : 1/ SIDC members with scoobs (1st come first served) 2/ Scoobynet menbers with scoobs (1st come first served) 3/ General Scoob owners (1st come first served) 4/ Other marques (as suitable for running orders) If past events are anything to go by there won`t be any probs filling the spaces and we may endup having to layon another day as well, so best advice is get yer name down qwick before it`s opened up to everyone. BTW date will be confirmed before the end of the week (all going to plan) Pete

Lads, U r making it hard 4 yourselves jus checkout Petes boost gauge guide Hey thats wot I put it there for Pete

Our thoughts are with Dave & his family.

Looks like i wont make it this Sunday peebs If things change I`ll c u all there (jus look 4 big red) Pete

Dyno sessions are held at Star Performance in Glenrothes. There was some extensive work and experimentation with Jim over the last few years to ensure the dyno figures were true to life, as it was found 4wd dyno`ing had lots of additional factors to be considered. Now though IMHO we are on the nose and figures are available for dyno`ing Scoobs, evos etc accurately But for now who`s all goin 2 Crail on Sunday ? I`d anticipate that it`ll b chok a blok so in order 2 get a good pitch it`d be wise to get there early So anyone wanna do a meet in Dundee earlyish ?? Pete

Zeo, We occasionally do some one on one racing etc at the airfield. These events are normally held after dyno sessions So we can see if he who can pee furthest up the wall can use it Like is said "it aint how you stand by your car, its how you race it" Pete
