Happy New Year everybody

Holy s**t, thats some roll

Hi and welcome m8

High m8 and welcome

Very nice Peter

I've just fitted 4 new t1-s 215/40/17 and at first they didnt seem any better than the bridgestones they replaced, but now they have been scrubbed in the car feels very sure footed in the wet or dry

1. Billyboy 2. Gumball 3. Wullie and the Mad burd 4. Ruby the scooby 5. Ally B 6. imy 7. Des (If am back from Hypertech !)

Ye i know what you mean m8 My cost for parts and labour in the last 2 months was: 4 pot calipers £250, mintex 1155 pads £100, front discs £150, fluid £30, pad retaing pins and anti rattle clips £70(@subaru), whiteline front & rear alloy links £125, whiteline a/r/b £100, 4 toyo proxis £308, magnex downpipe & up pipe & heat wrap £450, walbro 255 fuel pump £125, oil & filter change £70, total spend £1778. it mounts up And i'm still hoping to get front and rear strut braces, whiteline anti lift kit, and samco hoses before xmas

Its all in the timing

Total score 55

I take it you got the valve alright ? Glad i could help out Ian, its a baileys piston valve i'm using at the moment, mine leaks boost sometimes mid range but i'm gona change it for a blitz valve anyway as i couldnt go back to the re-circ type now (i like the granny scaring whoosh to much)

Happy Birthday

Glad to here your staying put Billy

<< << Derek, I'm having a magnex turbo up pipe and de-cat downpipe fitted on friday at hypertech, did you notice much of a difference after getting the downpipe ? >> Des, Yes, I've noticed quite a difference. The power delivery is smoother and the car picks up a bit quicker too. Oh, and the sound.............. Derek >> Cheers Derek thats what i wanted to here

Derek, I'm having a magnex turbo up pipe and de-cat downpipe fitted on friday at hypertech, did you notice much of a difference after getting the downpipe ?

<< Yep, did the biz today. Sounds soooooo good, almost like a REAL scooby now.....LOL Dunc & Alex are very nice people. Am even beginning to like the mental wee black dog >> Ye Dunc & Alex are and boost the dog is well mad.lol

Congratz Sharon I was out at Duncan's on thursday night getting my a/r/b's uprated and he said he was doing your exhaust on saturday

I just got 4 new toyo t1-s's fitted yesterday (cheers Peter)and they are miles better than the brigestones that came off the car

Hi and welcome m8 I'm from Glasgow so dont know about garages in Edinburgh.

My bargain of the year has to be a set of gold 17" alloys (like new condition) with bridgestone tyres taken from a 2003 wrx for £165

Cheers for all the advice peeps, i will hopefully get something sorted tomorrow

<< Try Auto image in Glasgow for Toyo and Yoko m8 They can get them next day if not in stock. I can geta aprice for you on Monday as i use them alot and know them well. Just tell me what you need and how many. Think they are about £80 fitted >> I need 4 x 215/40/17" if you could get me a price m8 that would be great Cheers

Ye am thinking that too as i called viking yesterday and they dont do them, but they did have g/year f1's at £84 +vat, i went into costco too and they can do me michelin pilot sport's but would need to order 215/40's as they only had 215/45 in stock. I seen those paradas on the net and thought hmm, they look the part.lol

Where can you get them in Glasgow (ti-r's)? I know i can get them from blackcircles on the net (and at a good price too), but i need them real quick as the current bridgestones are getting like slicks.lol

Cheers peeps I just cant make up my mind what to buy, i'm not really concerned about road noise, price or how long they last, grip is my main concern (especialy in the wet)
