  1. no pics of your welding fee?
  2. White with white wheels like mine? My old shell with about 60bhp less used to torment sleepy UK turbo drivers on the 1/4mile Think this version might give fee a whoopin.... (if she cant improve on 13.5).... it may knock out a mid to low 13! No turbo either!!
  3. bahhh... My corsa would (if it was running right and well on the day) beat an Impreza (fairly mildly modded WRX or STi) on a straight from a rolling start - upto 145 maybe.... or however fast my revs will take me. Maybe give it a try with fee one day
  4. yup..... every mail i send you gets bounced back. So i dont know if gav has passed on the info, or if he indeed got the mail either? Did you get the mail about thr RR plot, what was checked on the car, and the Clutch/Flywheel setup? This is the error being returned...

  5. Russ - I gave the go-ahead because you said 'and weld on a new one' LOL I should be back in UK in a week or so, we can take it from there.
  6. 15. 195/50/15 off the top of my head
  7. Anyone used IF Motorsport at knockhill?
  8. funny that.... a flange was cut off my £500 ceramic coated manifold, to weld the manifold to the system. Nice and simple to remove now! Not. Russ/Gav - any chance of having flanges welded on here like i thought we talked about?
  9. I'm looking for some new suspension for my track car. Does anyone know anywhere in the edinburgh region that will be able to corner weigh the car then supply/fit/recommend suitable poundage springs etc.... then set up the car for track? And also fix my ass happy brake bias once and for all? Does such a place exist up here that will do all that? I've looked at LEDA kits - 1k for the set with springs to order Harry Hockley want 750 just for two front struts with springs. :/ I'd like to get a real idea of what spring rates are needed, although i have been recommended 350lb springs up front. This one is for Fee too.... I've just ordered 048's from WheelsAround, but what are folks opionions on Toyo R888's? They are £67 for 15" from Camskill. They may be handy on her pug And finally..... Any edinburgh region machine shops that will increase the centre bore of a set of alloys to 52mm ( i think they only need increased a few mm to clear)
  10. my boat in the background looks like its going to tip over. Please use it in this weather!
  11. http://www.ultralitewheels.co.uk/index.html [{][}]
  12. aprox £120 a corner for 18x7.5 and aprox £115 a corner for 18x7.5 MUCH BETTER
  13. these.... Big Andy.... quite nice.... and a hell of a lot cheaper
  14. I think you're crazy.... thats what i think. The gold ROTA wheels are too silmilar to what we have already.... so i dont see the point. Yes.... I understand your point about new tyres... but the tyres you get with the basic wheel/tyre package are'nt exactly great.... Just like your tyres just now... .that arent worn out, just not as grippy as some. On the otherhand i love the BBS LM's..... (think i'll pop some on the supra mehehe)... But they are going to be hitting nearly 3k by the time tyres are added etc Considered BK299's?? Anyone got any pics of classic's with them on?
  15. bloody hell.... havent heard of them for ages... I used them about 6years ago to get some slight alteration to a map on a 1.4 16v vauxhall. Basic stuff like raise the idle limit and lean it off a bit. They didnt do the mapping.... they were just the good old Superchip type folk..... all they did was plug there laptop in, flash the new map across, test.... job done. When i was there it was just basically a farm..... no real garage facilities etc. No complaints though.
  16. aye aye cognogs.... The downpipe may be a turd to get off. It was a right pain in the bottom on the supra... studs had to be heated with a torch etc etc. A re-map would be good.... but what re-maps (if any) can be done on an ECU from a STi IV? Not really wanting a sep/new ECU. Fee: If your wanting a boost controller it would be worthwhile finding out what the std fueling/map can safely fuel? If its marginal at std boost (what is std boost again?) an uprated fuel pump (walbro etc) and regulator would be an idea if you're wanting slightly more, ken.
  17. What plug gap do you recommend? Standard'ish (exhaust, 1 cat) STi IV TypeR
  18. swap you the corsa and pug
  19. It'll probably be 2007 before you see it anyway.... you're car's always broken...so you can never go anywhere
  20. she needs to sort them out too!!! I have bought her two buckets..... I NEEDS a new exhaust manifold (orig cast is cracked) and a new exhaust, or just backbox (i pulled the tail pipe off, whoops) Front half id nearly stripped.... just needs the rear doing and all the junk binning/ebayed
  21. doesnt sound very cute anymore fitted new GRP bonnet last night, Fee painted 1 side of the floor
  22. its not upto 230 yet needs more mapping once i get a decent exhaust manifold on.... power is just dying at 6500rpm
  23. I'll use it at hot hatch days (maybe)... SIDC days, any circuit track days hillclimbs and sprint track.... 1/4mile... anything really
  24. not very often....... LOL
  25. its back after 2 years of lying around.... Blew it up at knockhill 2 years ago. Bottom end coming into the hairpin, over reved. Anyway... spec: C20XE bored out to 88mm SBD 88mm forged pocketed pistons SBD Uprated valve caps/springs/seats SBD 278/284 cams Lightweight verniers ARP head studs ARP rod bolts QED throttle bodies QED fuel rail QED coil pack Tran-X plate diff Lightened balanced crank uprated injectors and pump Uprated clutch lightened flywheel 300mm front discs with 4 pots 5.5kg alloys coilovers etc etc some pics Fee's wee track car too
