Dave... This is what I had in mind...its a 2001 car now with 55K on the clock...bushes arent costly are they??? Paul

Thanks for the replies guys..... Im not sure Brian if thats what causing it....I mentioned it to Fraz a while ago also..so when thinking about it, its probably being going on for longer than i thought. Just seems to feel like a lot of play in the wheel...... Desperately need to get the car into Duncan at Hypertech anyway for an oil change so will get it checked over....doesnt feel like its anything to do with the Tein set up...... Chris, Gus is correct in mentioning Progrip, but bear in mind Hypertech also now do digital alignment as well. Might get this looked at also.... Paul

Been very dissapointed recently with the "feel" of the car....I can only describe the steering as feeling loose....there is a reasonable bit of play in the wheel when driving along even a smooth straight road....suspension is fine as the Tein kit was fitted last year....any advice guys and girls..what should I get checked out....just doesnt feel as tight as it used to (no rude comments please)???? any ideas......??? Bushes??? of am I of on a wrong tangent... Paul

Hi all Just thought I would attempt to scan and paste onto the site the nice card I received to all of us today from Langlees Childrens Home...to say thank you for everything we done during the Santa Cruise in December..... Hope it works...and is readable...only got the new equipment so here goes..

Scott...thats a bit pimp my ride for you mate ..is it not....???

aye your right Jamie....must see if I can make one....out of a match and blu tack.... and Andy....bring it on.....your might be faster in a straight line...but I'll have ye on the twisties in the cossies....in fact my stock sti might even have you on the wet twisties...... mental note to hunt out something faster....and re post..... Paul

very nice mate.....tempted...I am....tempted...although I dont have a dremel...may just have to go down the blue-tac route for this one.....as for swaps...what about an escort cossies...or the ultimate lotus track car..eh......... check out the insurance first on the cossie though....reckon it could be yours for the spoiler and £23,462.27 Paypal ?????

aw thanks mate....might need some therapy after that one...... good to see you both again last night....remember .....flowers, spa days, jewellry......ah and probably cash would do the trick also.....will get some tips from Jo for you......

thanks Jodie........great in white arent they...was a real drag though as I had to get the screws out of the bottom holding it in the box before i could drive it...... just trying to get there before a certain scoobyseller shows up in a white sti10.....arghhhhhhh[:$]

sorry to hear that Alan...the daft cow wasnt on the phone at the time was she???? how bad is the scratch...has it gone down through to the primer coat or not??

Your right Del....I'm sure it must have been the 3rd kilo of dairy milk that tipped me over the edge..... Scott..... mmm think i may have to partake of a purchase of some of those...looked nice and bright..... of to halfrauds we go...... cheers mate.....

very sensible mods young sir......not sure about the decat though...suppose i could always stick in a carrier bag (tesco of course) and carry it to my local service emporium........ as for Gav and Yvonne.......dont worry Gav if your watching still got some old tricks left in the Irish Charm book to go yet...was just warming up last night...trust me Im an expert in the art of white sti persuasion...I've had plenty of practice.... Paul ps...lights looked good scott........much brighter than my candles....what bulbs did you put in ..are they uprated???

Your right mate...but i reckon i can wash it under 20secs with a facecloth so shouldnt be much problem..afraid to take it out in this weather though incase it blows away...

As I mentioned in my comments in th events section my good buddy FrazA has done a fantastic job in sourcing my dream car....so I have cancelled my bulk order with Dulux for white paint as discused at our meet last night..... I am now a satisfied man....so cmon guys are you pleased for me or what...check out my new beast......... what do you think...if i get the diet going long enough I might just squeeze in.... THANKS FRAZA.........lovin it... Paul

Being from Belfast and involved in the Irish tarmac rallying scene for many years I can imagine what that must have been like for you. I knew Kenny many years ago when he was championing one of the first legacy rally cars....a very nice man.... not bad for someone who fixed lawnmowers for a living not so long ago eh...

no problem craig...hope you get sorted if not drop me a line and I will see what I can do to help. Gus..my man...patience is a virtue...i know you're just wanting to get the dessert that I owe you after last time....so I will stick up a date over the next few days......and see how we go...need to give everyone a debrief on santa cruise etc......

replied Alan thanks

hi there... think you are looking for me.... as much as I would like to be a collector for SIDC membership unfortunately I cant.....just head to the SIDC homepage and you can pick up the detail there through the shop of how to join...... Look forward to meeting you at our next central meet.... thanks Paul

sure is mate.......had a problem with mine during the summer when the car sat for a few weeks while I was on hols...came back and the CEL was on..turned out to be dirty Idle control valve...but after a few hundred miles it seemed to cure itself and the light went out...

Dave........as you know mate my kowledge of the impreza engine is almost as extensive as my knowledge of my Cheryls bedroom....but I can tell you it was the CEL light...why its on is anybodys guess....best advice i can offer is to pop along to Duncan at Hypertech if he is open and get him to pop it on the old computer to tell you whats up?? nearly sure Gav can do this for you also..if you ask nicely!!.... sorry i cant be of any more assitance but I cant be gorgeous and brainy...

Scott Give either Brian Rallye6 (who you met on Saturday) or Gus the Bus a shout...they are the guys for graphics in this neck of the woods..... hope this helps.. cheers mate Paul

fantastic work.....sums it all up rather nicely....well done.... ps..will take that disc if you can arrange it mate will pm you my address or I can get it of you some night... cheers Paul

Jeez....I thought I was quick of the mark.... My sincerest thanks to everyone who was involved with the Central Santa Cruise, as Andy said above it was just heartwarming to watch all the kids get their gifts....so many people to thank, you all know who you are......but just a quick mention for the business that helped of offered services......... Tesco Falkirk John R Weir Subaru Perth Hypertech Bonnybridge Ian Grieve Falkirk RBS and the many dontations from all involved in the club...... Thank you all......

I guess there will be no more takers to show for this then.... Will let you all know how we get on... Paul

great alan...hope the lady of the manor gets better soon.....at least it will be quiet..eh.... and your right...cmon guys lets get another few cars on this...need to make an impression for the papers...!!!! MORE NOISE ...... although Santa Tams sleigh will more than make up for any lack of noise...
