  1. Chemical guys stuff is the dogs danglys, wouldnt use anything else now. Would def be interested in doing a meet at there unit.
  2. Eaglesham garage is now the nearest dealer for glasgow, very nice family run buisness and the have cs400 in the showroom.
  3. Im trying to keep the cost down lol, will see what like they are when i get them next week, i want to paint them red so they blend in with the back calipers.
  4. Awesome idea, will give this a go, did you key the surface prior to painting?
  5. As title suggests im lookong for a powder coaters to strip and re-do a set of brembos, is there any in the glasgow, lanarkshire area. Also where would i be able to get a full service kit for the same.
  6. Looks like hypertec are gonna be busy in march, def gettin this done.
  7. Hmmm very intresting and also to good an offer to pass up
  8. A lot of councils hire contractors to do these jobs, these companies charge the council a premium for doing the work but they only use a fraction of that to actually fix the holes, thus making sure they get maximum profit, all to our expense cause its up to us to fix the expensive damage to our cars. The best one i have seen so far is GCC, Renfield st/ Union st in the city centre is one big bloody bus lane, road is all chewed up all down the left hand side due the buses and bus stops, fri 4:30pm peak time and there is a GCC tarmac blower blowing stones and a tiny amount of tar into the holes whilst the buses are draggin it straight back out, amazing, totaly amazing, who the hell in the council thinks that this is gonna work, i ended up tipping a ton pallet of wine out side a restaraunt cause of the massive hole i had to park the truck in.
  9. I think alternate meeting places is ideal, it gives more of an opertunity to get out, by the time i finish work gettin to the other side of the city( i stay in bellshill) is a major hassle.
  10. I reckon a bit of Glasgow justice is what he'll get.
  11. They dont work at night for def, they are infra red and headlights cause them to flair, confuses the system and shuts it down.
  12. I have a friend in edinburgh who this very thing happend to, it turned out the previous owner had secured a loan from some dodgy loan shark and had used the car as security. The loan sharks had managed to get my friends address via dvla, they then turned up at his door demanding the car. Lets just say it didnt end well for the loan shark an his heavies, who after a small scuffle ended up gettin nicked for aggravated theft of a vehicle, my friend is a copper and just happened to have a few of his copper friends there at the time lol.
  13. Happy new year folks.
  14. Im happy to support yorkhill as my little girl ended up in there 8 weeks after she was born with an adult cold, in adults its just a cold in babies it can be fatal, but i also agree that they get the lions share when it comes to kids fundraising and there are other worth while kiddies charities out there that need support and funds to the same level if not more than yorkhill. I will quite happily attend whatever the charity. Baz
  15. Ta for all the advice guys, i have my scoob going to A+E in bellshill, quoted £250 for the work which i think is reasonable, will post a review and photos of there work. Next thing is getting the geometry set up, and then work on all the little niggles.
  16. Hey mate, i stay in bellshill, could you send me the details of the place. Much appreciated.
  17. Thing is i need the car for work etc due to my ungodly start time of 4:30am, so i am thinking of just trying to source a replacement wing, drop it to the paint shop and have them fit it once ready, i recon this will be cheaper than trying to pull the crease out the exsisting wing, i had a go at trying to remove the headlight today but the wing has been pushed into it trapping the headlight behind it, just hope the inner wing is ok.
  18. Had a bit of an off this morn going onto the M74 slip road at larkhall, fuel spill, full 180 that ended up with me on the verge and into the crash barrier, result is a broken headlight, a slightly pushed in wing with broken paint and some large scuffs on the bumper. Ive sourced a headlight through ebay, but can anybody recommend a reasonable bodyshop/painter/panels beater. I reckon the wing is gonna need painted along with the bumper. All help appreciated.
  19. Cheers mate, will chuck him a pm. Ive tried emailing andy forest a couple of times but had no replies as of yet.
  20. Hi guys, Im Baz. I have just bought a 2004 blobeye wrx, i stay in the lanarkshire area. I was wondering if anybody could recommend a localish tuner/garage to take my car to for a service and general once over. It has a full magnex system with a milltek decat, k&n typhoon induction,forge dump valve, other than that i cant see much else in the way of engine tuning. At a rough guess what type of power should it be making, i was told by the previous owner that it was 300 but i suspect this to be way off the mark. Also, my speedo reads 10mph ish above the actual speed and there is a fair bit of vibration over 80mph, any ideas. All help appreciated. Baz.
