Craigdmcd I'll try and make it folks, I'll bring the wife's car and some rather Gucci stuff that might interest yourselves

Yep, got most of those boys, just not that VX220 yet. But apparently, the one to get is the Lotus Exige, then go and claim the prize money.

So, how many different cards do people have, I think I have 20 different ones already, I'll try and post which ones later. I don't know about other folk, But I'm willing to share a £60000 prize.

BTTT, disappointed that nobody wants possibly the ultimate Scooby accesory

I ain't buying any lucky white heather from you!!! Seriously, thats some crazy s--t. Hope you can find something to do on honeymoon that will keep your minds off this

Can you be more specific about the problem, when it appears worst, (ie under load, when the car is warm, certain part of the rev range). You can quite simply check for engine faults with CEL, but this will not indicate faults with fuel pumps, air mass sensors, spark plugs etc.

As the title implies, I have for sale a bundle of some very special Sparco X-Light 300 race suits for sale in 3 sizes. These are usable for competition (although not karting), but may be of interest to anyone with a Scooby. They are cheaper than what Demon Tweeks sells them for. Anyone that is seriously interested please PM me, or e-mail me on this link.

Sorry to contradict most opinions here, and I used to believe the same as most here, until I read a very long article by Oilman ( a specialist who sells on most performance forums), but one of the best to have is a something that starts with 5w or 10w as this is when the oil is cold, and relates the ability to get through the engine quicker (the 5w is better in cold weather when temps are lower), and at the other end of the scale 40w or 50w is desirable. Enough to keep the oil flowing under hot conditions, but 60w is actually to thick and causes friction in the engine, losing valuable power. I used to use Castrol RS 10w60, and swore by it (it never did me any harm), but now use 5w40 Fully synthetic, although may swap to 50 soon. Incidentally, never use 0w30 0r 0w40 as this is far too thin for start ups on scoobies. Just my tuppence worth Craig

I knew a boy who worked in a truck garage until one day he had a terrible accident, and lost his left arm. Anyway, I met him walking down the street the other day, and we got talking. After a little while, I asked him where he was going, to which he replied, " I'm going to change this lightbulb", and I queried "How'll you manage that?", "easy he said, I still have the receipt"

As the heading, my mate is looking for 7 x 17" rims, preferably from a bug or blobeye WRX, no tyres needed, has anybody got any lying around? Craig

Was in dropping the motor for it's 10,000 service (new guy in service reception, whole lot better attitude than his forerunners), mentioned the day to Harvey and Claire, and didn't seem to know much about it, but would be glad to have it. If I'm not in Jo'burg, then I'm up for it.

It's very simple, the karting in Scotland goes in rotation, First weekend of the month is Larkhall, second weekend is Banff, third weekend is Crail and the last weekend is Golspie way up North. The reason I say last and not fourth is that some months have 5 weekends, and then on the fourth there is nothing (although Larkhall sometimes puts on extra meetings then). Look upText for any info. Cheers Craig

What are you needing to know Dougster, as I can go on at length about karting, one of the main points to be made is that you have to own your own kart, as this is not a hiring circuit, but a competitive set-up can be had for under a grand (how much would you spend on a set of wheels, tyres and exhaust for your scoob?), and the racing is intense. I believe that Crail (just beyond the airfield) and Bondie (near Banff) kart circuits do twin engined Pro-kart races (endurance), where you can arrive and drive, but in all reality, the buzz of 2 stroke "sprint" races is far more exiting. If you need to know more, just ask specifics. Craig

Just to let you know, the kart racing is on at Larkhall tomorrow, if you want to wander by and spectate, everything from 8 years olds on honda cadets, through all the the usual screeming two stroke classes, right up to the maniac gearbox karts. First round of the Scottish championships, so big grids in all classes, racing starts at 10:00, £3 to get in, and if you take the southbound exit from the M74 junction 7, turn right at the top of the slip road, signposted approx 400 yards along the road (just after the end of the dual carriageway). I only know all this cause I'm racing. Craig

Where the feck were you? ( I was looking at houses) As for the brakes, any idea on the warranty issue, also I think that stoptech have more than proven themselves in the states in Imps. Talked to them, as Devlin will testify, at the Autosport Show, and were VERY knowlegable, but, yes, I agree that the 6 pots look supremely impressive.

I'm with Scotty on this question, obviously the AP 6 pot set up is the mutt's nuts, so it should be for £1500 + vat, but what about warranty, etc, is the Prodrive setup a good one?, do either have any problem's with warped discs or noises (chattering or squealing)? And what about the StopTech brakes, slightly overpriced here, but the wife is an airstewardess, and can bring them in from California for around £1000. How do we turn this in to a poll? Oh, and why bother on a 04 PPP WRX, well as my mate who fixes the late Alan Barr's Group A Impreza said, pound for pound, your cheaper to make your brakes better than to make your engine faster by the same amount on lap times. Craig

Obviously a far better salesman than any Reg Vardy site. Did he offer 5 years interest free credit?

Right. looks like me and Barry Devlin are going to compete on the Lanarkshire Car Club event, who else is up for a shot and I'll get the entry e-mailed to you? Craig

A bit too late to post for today, but you could all come to the karting (and no, it's not the same as Scotkart) at Larkhall on the first sunday of every month, third sunday at Crail, 2 stroke karts, 20-60mph in about 4 seconds, top speed about 70mph, only problem is that you've got to own your own. I'm hooked though. Top 7 today in my class today covered by 8 seconds, best lap times seperated by 0.4 sec for same top 7. Don't come and spectate if you have urges to buy motorised fun!!! Craig

Right troops, I am back on the case with this after being in Sunny(not) Hong Kong. I have hijacked these dates that seem to be for the East and North of Scotland from somebody else's post (sorry if it was your post) Date Event Organising Club Feb 12 Aquarius Glenrothes MSC Mar 5 Nuit Blanche Rally EUMSC Mar 12 Gropers Rally SDMC Apr tba Boontree Birl Rally 750MC Apr 16 Teviotdale Rally Hawick & Border CC Sep 3 Autumn Rally Highland CC Oct 22 Caledonia Rally Scottish Sporting CC Nov 19 Early Winter Rally Border Ecosse CC Nov 26 Williamson 100 Rally Aberdeen & DMC Also I know that Lanarkshire car club are holding their Clydesdale Navigational Rally on Sat 12th March, starting at Happendon Services on the M74, and strangely finishing at Hamilton services (don't expect a mad dash up the motorway). I've talked to the organisers, and for those that aren't sure whether this is going to be their cup of tea or not, a 12 car rally is taking place behind the MSA event so you can enter on a reduced fee by paying for just the entry (approx £40) and a 1 day club membership at £1. I have the the entry form on a PDF document that I can e-mail to anyone interested. It's all a little confusing, so if you need some guidance, call me on 07721 610095 and I can put you straight. Also the Glasgow University is holding their Navigational Rally the following weekend as far as I'm lead to believe which is held on the north side of Glasgow. I've probably missed a lot of info, but I'll fill in the blanks as I remember them. Craig

Just read this, SUPERB

Ok troops, I'm on the case now, been talking to the local car clubs etc, all good news, will post a lengthy note in the next day or two to let you know what happening . Craig

My Scorpion alarm reacts in a similar way, have you tried holding the transmitter at different areas of the car (I hold mine just above the driver's wiper blade). Not an ideal solution but it may be worth a try. Craig
