Marky, just spotted this. the caliper work was done at the same time as brake pads and other stuff and I can't remember the price for the calipers alone. best if you call Duncan and ask him, Imy

ha! you're a funny guy Andy. love the end result but waaay too much effort for me

yay shiny shiny smooth smooth heartfelt thanks to Colin for offering this detail as a raffle prize. Easy dialogue, knowledgeable fella and I felt totally comfortable handing over the keys to someone I don't know the RA has never been clayed in my 4 years of ownership and 'now' I get why people spend so much time waxing and detailing their car. the pics don't show how great she looks in the flesh and I never thought that she would give off such a shine. she wasn't that shabby to begin with, paint was dull but not bad, but definately looks newer and perkier now. must say sorry to Grant for leaving him sitting by himself at Lanark Loch waiting for his dinner, I just had to go out and take pics of the shiny car in the last hours of daylight I was cringing when overtaking the gritter on the 74 on the way home, the sound of spraying grit against the bodywork was painful

Marky, I had my 4 pots refurbed via Godspeed. Car was in Hypertech for new brake pads and Duncan noticed the calipers had seized. He exchanged mine for a reconditioned set that Godspeed had. Price and timescale were fine, the only unknown was what colour of caliper you get back. My black ones were sent away and I got silver in return. I quite liked the look of them with my gold alloys

Little monkey indeed

winter evening, pics taken by dale

thinking out loud... its just before the weekend, fewer family commitments and there are usually no football matches on?! but its a valid question and I'm not sure myself

I'd go with this option Del btw, wouldnt the new exhaust make the car sound better?

Found the Brute fight website in my Bookmarks, had totally forgot about this. anyone wanna fight? if you've not got a fighter, Click here and register a brute its a bit random once the fights start, but amusing to watch none the less

John, her face is amazingly symmetrical. Its quite rare, as most people don't have mirror-image right and left sides

i had the same with the RA. Also found a lot of water in the bit where you store the jack (on the left hand side of the boot), think it was coming in through the rear lights or the spoiler. Not been able to find the source yet as the only option Grant suggested was for me to climb into the boot (RA rear seats don't fold down) and he hose the car from the outside so I see where the water is coming in

happy birthday Dale, hope you had a good day

with Gus now offering to be the new Edn and Lothians RO that means all Scottish regions have a scapegoat erm representation look out, there's a new crowd of 'purple' people about... STI Pretender for Glasgow/Strathclyde Rallye 6 and Tommytcut for Central Gus the Bus for Edinburgh/Lothians Irish Al for Fife BalliSTic for Tayside BadBaz for Lanark Cruz for Galashiels/Scottish Borders ScoUK for Moray and Elgin and FastOne for Aberdeenshire this summer's going to be fun

I was just thinking about you the other day (ooer nothing dodgy, the pics you posted up of how the car looked after paint stripper incident just came into my head) and wondered how the repairs are getting on. hope they do a good job.

am wondering if you'll actually turn up for any meets! well done for taking the initiative and volunteering to be the RO. will be nice to see you around this year, you've missed way too many events recently btw if you're free the 2nd weekend in May then you need to come down to Prodrive with us

glad you've got it sorted. The RA's getting you back for you leaving it to get the defi gauges and pod for the GB

I usually run the RA in V-Power (dont get Tesco 99 up here). Had to fill with Tesco last summer when we went to Elvington and found the same as what the OP said in his first post - the car felt less responsive and sounded rougher than normal. Gary, you'd better get a Shell V Power drivers club

gah acronym alert What is "ADSL" and "LLU" and why should I care?

a hawaiin shirts theme would be cool my god, will mean that both our clothes and our cars will be loud

perhaps Del can flex his Moderator muscles and tidy up the Accommodation thread...

Gav, what are you on? Its still a Type R. ie a JDM car.

eeh BalliSTic, when did you become the Tayside RO? well done for stepping up, I know that Jonboy and Debs have been having car/internet problems and havent been around recently.

um I dont know...
