If you want to upgrade to 4 pots i have a set of 4 pots here ( off v5 type r). They are a bit grubby just now. I was going to clean em up and sell them when i had the time. I was running camskill discs and mintex pads but i'd recommend changing to ferodo ds 2500 pads. Are you sure its solid discs at the rear? Most sti's i've seen have vented rear discs. Cheers, Johnny.

Hi Barry Right, the pug is a wee cheap car i bought last august to get me to work and back over the winter and then move on. It was very cheap and has done 145k. In saying this it hasn't missed a beat so i'm going to keep it into at least next year or maybe until i get the scoob back on the road. The co reading was Fast idle: 0.82%, 2nd fast idle 0.62% this was after putting cat cleaner in the fuel and taking it a run for about 20miles including motorways. At the mot station it want straight onto the tester. It is running fine, no hesitation or misses, starts 1st time evry time. It burns a little oil but thats all. The MOT tester rekons it needs a new cat. Everything else on the car is fine, brakes are not the best but passed. Craig, i did a wee bit of research and realised this m8. Cheers, Johnny.

Hi guys, my daily runabout (pug 306) failed its mot. One of the things was the co2. The car has been lying for about 3 months so i'm going to put a fuel cleaner in and give it a good run before the retest. One of the things i noticed on the test results was the mot tester has put 1400 for engine size but its actually a 1600. Will this make any difference? Cheers, Johnny.

I know how you feel m8, there are quite a few people leaving their cars in the garage for at least this year. I even cancelled the insurance on mine (if anyone can take it i'd be seriously impressed). I've asked myself the same question loads of times but if you can, hold onto it as good early cars are getting rare. Johnny

Mmmm... enhanced spooly'ness (just had a homer meets donut moment) Johnny

RS4 avant?? Or A4 avant tdi could work. My wife has a vectra sri td and it pretty big with good rear space. power is ok although not as good as the audi but the steering is crap. Its got that speed sensitive power steering which goes too light for me at low speeds. Johnny

Thats a tidy looking srad m8. Good luck with the sale of your car. Johnny

Thats crap m8, hope you get it fixed ok without too many other problems. Johnny.

About bloody time you two.... Congratulations Great news and all the best. Johnny.

Also worth checking the cam sensor. If either is disconnected or has a broken wire the car won't start. Cam sensor is on top of n/s head. Johnny

Glad you like em and i could help out m8. johnny

A goat on its way johnny

I'd say no as he says they fit early imprezas. are you wanting to stick to 16's? If so i may have a set up for grabs which fit over 4pots. Johnny.

:laughing4: We've all done daft things... Mine was buying a scoob.... Johnny

Very nice neil Johnny

I take it the wheels are off an early ra? What car did the calipers come off? I've got 4pots on mine (from sti5) and they went straight on. Your welcome to come round and have a quick look to see what the problem is but you'll need to be quick as they are coming off asap. you could buy em if your interested.. cheap. Johnny

I also have a set of 16's lying here if i'm closer (doubt it though). Johnny

Never used the Garage myself so don't know what they're like. I only used quick fix as it was just to push out the old bearing and push in the new one so easy job (if you got a press). They seemed to have done a better job than a certain subaru specialist who did my last one and charged me £380 for the privelage. Johnny

Boab if its only to push it in i used quick fix, took a few minutes and cost little. if not them what about the garage or baz? johnny

Couldn't have been repaired well if the paintwork is fading already. Johnny

Chris only jokin about costs, not got a clue about that. As for mine, all i know is its gonna take a long time + i'm using my sti2. had it for 8years now can't see me selling it (although you never know). Its going into the garage tomorrow now i've got my bike sorted. Johnny

lol, i meant 500 for 5G so 1000 for 10G possible I bet you have andy, does the eg33 fit onto a 6spd without mods? How is the space in front for a rad etc.? Johnny

10G will be plenty chris, i won't be going over 5G with my build Johnny

Who cares if the engines standard if the car looks that good. They are quick enough anyway and at least it will be reliable. Johnny

Nowt wrong with the weather today i'm sure you'll get there. There's no point in trying to rush things. you'll get it how you want in the end m8. Johnny.
