Hi all Finally got word i can pick up my sti3 next weekend....been on asking about this knocklink business, still not sure if i need one because the car is not decat and wont be thrashed to the redline..think ive only done this once in my uk... anyway...until i get this knocklink fitted can anyone advise me on the correct way to use octane booster...how much to add each time etc..am i better letting the tank nearly empty..and i suppose i need to know the size of the tank on a 96import sti... as always your experienced comments will be appreciated by me as im a complete mechanical twat.... cheers keep the octane up and all that.....

thanks phil so its knocklink, optimax and octane booster...oh the wife will be pleased....so its a definite no no....to motor on without one then.... oh dear i can feel another fight coming on......do i need to fit it straight away then?? or can i do this as my first scooby DIY task...

hi all picking up my sti3 import in 2 weeks time...still not sure about this knocklink business....do you only need to fit one if driving hard..are they really necessary for everyday to and from work driving....okay if i was going out for a blast (not that often) i'd top of the optimax with an octane booster..but what about everyday use....could think of other things to spend the £130 ish on...thanks help...!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Evening all been thinking about changing from my uk turbo to a wrx import. Been looking for a few weeks now, right the length of the country and have narrowed it down to a few cars....going to ring next week and get some insurance quotes.... so firstly......am i wise to go down the import route....???? secondly ...anyone with an import recommend a good insurance company... thanks for your help.....

Sorry to hear about the little incident Brian.... Fingers crossed not to much damage... Lucky your both okay though.... argghhhhh I hate wet roads.....................

No problem guys... It was great to meet you all... i really enjoyed the night At least I know a few faces at Knockhill now..... By the Dev......loved the tail out leaving the Pirnhall.....tut tut...you not know Stirling in a respectable area...... although I have to say listening to some of those stories last night....i might be a bit conservative to be a scooby owner........Im hoping to try and get out of 3rd gear this weekend.....ha ha..

cheers.... will come along then.... silver MY97 turbo...... look forward to meeting you all....

Hi Would like to go as Im pretty local....but I dont know any of you guys.....so will i be welcome.......?????

Can anybody advise me the paint colour of my MY97 silver turbo....and dont say silver (ha ha)..got some pretty bad boulder chips and need to touch them up...also do you get such a thing as a touch up brush for a scoobie?????

Andy tempted........ mmmmmmmmmmmmmm tell you what though.....bet you shes louder than the DV.... only joking..... I'll bring her to the next event and we can bargain ..how about that.......DV and bag of jelly babies and shes yours...... cheers

Andy Thanks mate but I think i would end up on the street if I bought anything else just now...car needed a bit of work, but wooohhhhh got a bill for £1013.00 so any spending for the next 45 years is off....unless you want to buy a wife of course?????
