I think if its a repair the excess doesn't apply, If you get a new windscreen its a £50 excess usually, Anyone had a chip repaired before, if so does it leave the mark although it feels smooth or should it be completely invisible after the repair? Thanks Chris.

50/50 on this.... I'll update the list if it turns out i can make it.

No worries, just curious as a guy i know (who has a garage) is gonna do the belt for me but he took my chassis number to get prices for the actual belt and i wasn't sure what to expect... I'm in the glasgow area anyway and i'm pretty sure it'll be under £150 all in, if not i'll drop you a PM, Thanks or getting back to me, Chris.

Cheers Claire, Don't suppose you know the split by parts vs labour?

Hi All, Can someone advise how much i would expect the parts needed for doing a cambelt change to be.... Also, how many hours labour is this for a mechanic... Cheers Chris.

At the risk of sounding like a woman they look kinda cute!

I warned ya all.... I got as far as the big circle bit then got fried about 5 times trying to get out it.. arrgghh!!!

Alrighty Folks, i've just wasted about 30 mins on this and i'm just about to DRAG myself away (maybe!) Only click on this if you are prepared to waste time on it! Clicky

Short list compared to most (only been driving 5 years) Pug 106 Quiksilver (1.4, loadsa mods, great first car!) Astra 1.8 SRi (nice car altho nothing special) Mazda RX8 231ps (lovely car, bit thirsty tho!) And now a Bugeye WRX, standard altho not for long!

Good ol work for me too.... spent the weekend clearing sh*t from my bro's back garden and taking it to the dump so i'm totally shattered and its the start of the week.... on the plus side it is dry and warm in here...

Anthracite Grey... I was in a similar position as my Mrs hated the gold wheels (tbh i wasn't keen either) so i got them powder coated anthracite and i'm well impressed. Its on a dark blue metallic bugeye. I'll post up some pics at some point in the near future!

His reaction is one of thee funniest things i have seen!! Excellent link, makes up for my sh * t week too (all work related!) Cheers Chris.

Yep, pretty sure its the same place... Beaver car audio is just up from here now and its pretty decent, not sure about installation wise but they seem to know their stuff anyway!

If there is a decent amount of tread i may be interested in these too.....

Alright Mate -- Auto-Image at the top of Gt Western Road is pretty good, decent prices as well, i just got my gold wheels powder coated anthracite grey and it was only £160 (17's) and they gave me loan wheels, pretty decent guys. There is also a couple in the south side - Motorsound which is in Cathcart - 01416499951 - Just got my car valeted in this place and was impressed by the range of wheels they have plus they seem to got anything at the drop of a hat. If you want directions to any of the above give me a shout.... And Enigma on pollockshaws road.. no experience of this one though.

Alright Mate- Roughly how much are you talking for a 2nd hand set? Cheers Chris

Nankang NS2's, 215/40/17, £46.70 including P&P... are these tyres any good, they look alright... I'm looking for a "decent" all round tyre, nothing too expensive but also don't want something that is rubbish!

Alright Folks, I'm sure most of you seen the RWD video of the Wagon on the main road where the guy ends up hitting a tree.... well, his stupidity not only took out his car but now.... Clicky Cheers, Chris

Alrighty Folks, Been looking about and the handbook says 5-30 semi synth, i've read elsewhere it should be 5-40..... Now i'm confused and looking for some clarity!! Thanks, Chris.

ImprezaPete - I touch goats

What oil for a standard WRX Bug-Eye??

Ye, thats the main reason i'll be doing the up-pipe cat as well, don't wanna take the chance of it crumbling throo me turbo.... altho it would be an excuse to upgrade, lol.... Cheers for the info...

Cal has an up-pipe cat.....

Yeh, i know that the down-pipe cat is the most restrictive but if it means no worries for MOT's i'll keep it and get rid of the other two.... Cheers for the reply.

What about a MY01 WRX with only the down-pipe cat, panel filter and a remap?? any estimates?
