  1. Hi Guys My car has just failed the MOT on emissons. Turns out the CAT supplied from the importers doesn't look to be the correct one, the garage has told me the CAT is around 1" too small and won't meet up with the rest of the system. If I can find a center section CAT tomorrow or Saturady AM then the garage will redo the MOT Saturday morning. The exhaust system is an HKS backbox, HKS decat center (I think it HKS), H&S de-cat down pipe. Even comparing my center CAT with another known Subaru CAT would help. I've also emailed the import company so I'll see what they say... Cheers

  13. Can't decide if I want to keep my 98 v4 Type-R or change to a different car... Main reasons behind changing is I get bored of my current car after a year or so, plus I fancy something not so common on the roads. Thinking of swapping in for a Supra which will also be a grand less a year to insure, which is nice The choice is contiune modding the Scooby, got the funds to take the car up to the following spec: HKS Hyperflow exhuast (fitted) H&S Downpipe (fitted) HKS pannel filter (fitted) GT Spec Headers (purchased) Hybrid FMIC (to be bought) Apexi PFC mapped by Andy F (to be bought) Apexi AVCR (to be bought) Uprated fuel pump (to be bought) GT Spec lower brace (purchased) Cusco rear brace (purchased) GT Spec Anti-Lift kit (purchased) GT Spec Alloy drop links (purchased) brakes also might be a good idea might have missed a few bits out but you get the jist of what I'll be taking engine up to Now I'm thinking this spec once fitted will probably max out the injectors and turbo, meaning another expensive buy of new turbo and injectors. This in turn will mean the gearbox will now be the weakest link and would have to be uprated. And if I did go ahead and fit all this would I now be in danger of blowing the engine.... Expensive money pit I'm thinking Now to my other idea, change in for a Supra Always liked the Supra, bullet proof engine, lots of tunning potential plus I really like the look of them, more 'exclusive' on the road. So what do you guys think, I'm I looking at expensive maintainence/repair bills if I build the Scooby to this spec. Try not to be too biased and shoot the Supra idea down
  14. Think I spotted a new Spec C on Union Street two nights ago, reg ** ER Anyone here?
