cheers Paul... and yup, she likes the most expensive ones how do I find out what thread pattern I've got?

i'm revitalising this thread to ask where i would be able to get a nice set of locking wheel nuts for my 16" advans........ and avoid the problems that you guys have been having pic of the ones i've got just now

prob best to let the new owners decide if they want to tell folk well chuffed with the final bids that the last 6 Prints went for. and with folk paying such large amounts of money for them I'm optimistic that these sets will be loved and cherished instead of flogged on eBay

no worries babe it will be nice to have an organised run and also see you behind the wheel again send me a goat whenever you want

mine did that and traced the source to a leaky boot! water was getting in around the rear lights and ran along the bottom of the car and formed a puddle in the driver footwell (as well as inside my space saver and the wee cubby hole where the jack goes) i've got a classic tho

whats going on min? are there really only 2 classics among you lot? nice to see you guys are getting to meet up a bit

nice posts good effort, car looks like a turbo had me thinking you had bright green wheels for a sec lol tho the first 2 pics looks like the car is parked in the back garden

aw mark - i'm not planning to organise any runs this year, going to focus on other stuff this year. besides, i've had my share of doing them and think its time to let someone else take over (happy to help and give out pointers if folk want to organise a run) but i think ScoUK is planning a Highland run in the Spring and i'll help out with that good catching up with the regulars nice to meet the newbies as well, hope nobody felt too left out or isolated, it seemed that everyone was chatting away and having a good time. it was nice to see kids there too, even down to the 7 week old new arrival from the fivetide household (cue "awww how tiny is he..." from me and Irish Al's Lyndsey lol) and well done Cathy Midnight21 to go up to the restaurant at the bottom of the Wheel to see if they could accomodate us - the 3 tellers/kitchen staff didnt get the quiet Sunday afternoon they were hoping for when we all piled in there and tripled their takings lol it was a good venue and good afternoon out.

how sheltered is the car park? will i need to bring hat, scarf, gloves, thermals, waterproofs, stout shoes, brolly etc etc?

how strange. are they allowed to randomly search you and the car like that?

ah ok cool the penny has dropped lol

who is he? (simon at norris designs i mean) is he well known?

if you are going to The Big Meet and have ordered and paid for Gathering stuff (poster or souvenir stickers) from our shop, I can bring them along with me on Sunday to save the hassle of posting them. what I need is an email from you with the 4 digit order number you got from our shop and I will make up your order on Friday night. send it to "micra_wrc AT yahoo . co .uk " (without the spaces) and I'll sort it out for ye imy ps - best to include your forum name in the email, makes it easy for me to tie the order up with the screen name

1. If your sidelights won't switch off look for the parking light switch on top of the steering column . 2.Use the search function on the forum before asking the same old question . 3. The best first mod for an impreza is the exhaust (backbox at least) 4. Buy a classic 5. Make sure you get regular quality oil / filter changes every 3 - 4000 miles 6. Always run the car on good quality fuel - V Power/BP Ultimate/Tesco 99 and add octane booster for safety in an unremapped import 7. Avoid "chip"ing an impreza - get it remapped by an expert like AndyForrest (Apexi for classics, ECUtek for newage) 8. Sell the Newage and buy a Classic 9. Always wait till the engine is nice and warm before giving it full pelt and let it cool down befrore switching it off 10. Upgrade your brakes before modding the engine 11. A VTA dumpvalve isnt really a good idea unless your car is getting remapped to compensate for it. It will momentarily make your car run rich as the ecu gives fuel for air which has been dumped and not recirculated. All you are missing is the gay noise. 12. Solid rear droplinks and a decent suspension geometry set-up are probably one of the best sub-£100 modifications you can do to a standard car. 13. new ages will undertseer when at the limit 14. If you have a classic get Strutt Braces. The improvement is outstanding! If you have a new age...no luck! loL! 15. Clean out the boost solenoid once in a while and dont fill engine oil right up to max. 16. Go to the SIDC track days at knockhill, you get free tuition from an instructor if you want (plus ensure you wear Cat boots far better that way!!!!) 17. Love every minute of driving and owning it (it will make handing over the credit card much easier 18. Goto meets/Knockhill/Crail and tell us who you are?We don't bite sometimes 20. Join the SIDC and you'll get discounts on insurance and dealer supplied parts in addition to track days. 19. For some obscure reason there is a lot of mention of goats & homosexuals in here. Do NOT let this put you off our forums. 99% of our members are "normal" but we are all fans of The Hoff. 20. Always prefill the oil filter when doing an oil change 21. Dont believe everything you read on the forums. 22. Send off for a Shell card 23. What ever BHP you get, you will never be happy 24. BLUE is the best colour. 25. Is your car standard? - leave it that way. 26. Watch out for the Impreza's "lift-off" oversteer. It's wicked, particularly on a wet Knockhill! 27. wave to other scoob drivers 28. never buy a set of lexus rear lights[+o(] 29. sidc love some photography of your beloved 30. dont sell your scoob you will regret it and will end up with another 1 31. The best place to hang out on saturday nights is at OSIDC 32. Modding is for MEN 33. Going JDM is for winners..........leave the chocolate UK's to the Willy Wonka lovers! 34.^^Andy speaks the truth, JDM is the way forward!! 35. K.I.S.S. Keep it simple stupid and don't mod what doesn't need modding (dump valves etc) 36. NEVER let the other half known how much youve spent on the car.she will be jelious! 37. Dont go to Halfords for your servicing parts - they are more likely to give you filters for a lada or skoda. 38. the bright button really does just make the clock brighter 39. Never believe anything read on Ebay 40. Never buy a impreza when you get 10 spare ST2 (spaceman) 41. CLASSIC ARE The GREATEST IMPREZA BUILT. 42. Try not run your impreza top end as the boxes dont last long(went through 3 last time) 43. Believe the petrol gauge - yes it does use that much! 44. if you have mudflaps watch when reversing near kirbs or they get caught on wheels and bye bye back bumper 45. Your steering wheel lock isn't broken, you're supposed to have to turn it 180 degrees before it engages. 46. Boost solenoid 'chatter' isn't necessarily indicative of a fault (although the Scoob moguls say it can be eradicated the by above-mentioned cleaning). 47. Uneven tyre wear is common. 48. 10 miles use out of a set of newage shocks isn't unheard of - but if you're still under warranty, they're covered. 49. The rear proximity alarm (on newer Imprezas) tells blatant lies in the rain. 50. Door panels dent quite easily. 51. It's won't stop entertaining you on twisty roads! 52. Never use the standard horn in an aggressive manner in a road rage situation, you will just look silly!! 53. You will find that Classic owners are really insecure: they talk about how good their cars are over their Newage counterparts. They be fooling themsleves but they soon realise not to listen to what TheWelsho has to say 54. Welsho knows as much about cars as Fish know about Riding Bicycles ! 55. you will find most newage owners have a huge chip on there shoulders because A) they have lost 3/4 of the value of there cars through depreciation over two years B.) they weigh a bloody ton C) they are almost all are blue with gold wheels D) they are jelous of there classic brothers who continually spank them round knockhill 56. Try not to hold your foot to the floor and do 140mph + for mile after mile, they dont like this and tend to go POP, Take it up have a play and bring it down again. 57. If water/coolant pissed out of the front bumper at the passenger side, then you have more than likely over filled your coolant (overflow pipe) and not burst a pipe. 58. You will find that Classic owners who have bought Newage quickly revert to classic's as they find out VERY quickly just how good the classics are compared to floaty newage boats 59. If in absolute doubt, ask the question. someone will know! 60. If you intend to mod your scooby to anything over 400bhp, you'd better off starting with a newage STI.Atleast you'll never need to replace the gearbox unless you are pure brutal. 61. Don't post Ken Block's Gymkhana vid. 62. Forget all this "Classics are this, New Ages are that" rubbish. ALL Scoobs are feckin ace 63. you will always stop what you are doing when you hear a scooby burble approaching... firstly to check its not your car but then just to check it out and listen to it going by

heee the wee scooby is the right size for me i like it

Jon, it would be useful to edit your very first post on the first page, it saves us reading through 5 pages of stuff to find out the final arrangements. and not wanting to be too pedantic but there is a typo in the thread subject - you've missed a "t" in scottish ta
