  1. If anyone has spoken to Harvey in the last few weeks could they let me know as I've been trying to email and hpone him but getting knowhere. Maybe he's on holiday or something but I'm getting a bit concerned as he's got £470 of my dosh for modding some exhaust parts. Anyone ???
  2. Your allowed 10% + 2mph according to a local traffic police man so you would be safeish at up to 80mph. Speed camera's are alos supposidly calibrated to take this into account.
  3. Not saying where but 156mph on the clock, ran out of bypass, erm, road [] Not bad for a standard car with a decat and a panel filter at that point.
  4. Big Time ! Used to have one and after about 3 months I was sick of the ECL coming on due to it leeking under boost and off it for that matter [:@]
  5. Take it back to wherever you got it from and demand a refund and then use that cash to buy a Forge one, shouldn't be much, if any, of a difference.
  6. Simon, we spoke earlier today about the PCD for the discs so thanks for that info. One more question has raised itself though, did you need to buy any additional parts to fit the rear calipers as I was told that there may be a bracket or something that is required to fit the brembos to a WRX. Something that fits to the rear struts as the STI's are different in some way. Any ideas ? James. Got the intercooler and dump valve on now by the way so she's looking impressive when I open the bonnet. Had to get a new small spring for the dump valve as the old one had split but Forge sent me it out for free !
  7. As above, anyone got Scott's mobile number ??? James.
  8. Is that a TD05 6020g turbo or slightly bigger ? []
  9. I am also going to buy the STi intercooler so I don't think I would need the rubber seal as it will be going on my WRX but you could tell me otherwise ?
  10. Didn't take long before that crept in......... it was in the back of my mind the whole time mind you ! [] Thanks for the info. Need to get on Ebay for one then.
  11. Is the bonnet scoop on an STi bigger than the scoop on a WRX (talking about the blobeye version). Whenever I see an STi I always think my scoop looks really small in comparison. Anyone ???
  12. Any ideas who's car it was that had the chirpy wastegate on the SIDC stand ???
  13. Have we not met at one of the Lothian meets ?
  14. Nice one, I'll be sure to pop along and say hello (and pick up some fliers for my windscreen!!)
  15. Anyone going along to this event from here ? My mate has got a stand so I've foolishly said I would put my car on it for him (amongst others). My car is not "minted" in any way but it will be clean and shiny for the show. It's to promote his new business that he's starting, tuning Cossies mostly but will entertain mostly anything. It's only a fiver to get in because I'm "in the show" so only 20 fags down I suppose. Good chance to see some camels toe action too [] He's already fitted a few things to my Scoob so isn't clueless. He's a timeserved mechanic. James.
  16. Don't worry about it Cal, after a few more years of married life you will become a real master of deception in regards to mods for your motor. I've been married for 5 years now and the wife still doesn't know half of the things I buy for the car. I did slip up the other day mind you. I bought a set of mud flaps off Scoobyworld for £150 a few months back and told the other half they cost £75 but then when speaking to a mate and not realising she had crept up behind me I told my mate the real price !! Got moaned at for an hour or so but just went in to Homer mode (Blah blah blah blah blah...........). If she can't see it she won't know !
  17. Tell him I sent you and ask for a cash price, you should get it for half of what Gus said. My name is James Fox by the way.
  18. am just here fur the banter, lovin it, keep it comin
  19. I've just had my tints done at Magma (the owner is an old mate of mine) and have had my previous 3 cars tinted there. Can't fault the guy at all and they get done in mega quick time. Unlike some other garages, you can use your windows straight away as they file off the edges of the tint at the window tops and tint below the inner rubber so that it doesn't roll up your window. Good prices too.
  20. Nice car mate. I was thinking about an M3 for my next motor as I'm sick of buying newish cars just to lose so much money on the resale. Was looking at a 4 door Evo version mind you (for the wee man's baby seat!!) Enjoy it and take care on the bends in the wet as I've heard they are pretty easy to spin yet a lot of fun.
  21. got a newage WRX and I get this at about 120 and its still there at 155 (on the clock at least). On my car its the drivers side window not fully meeting against the window rubber. Push the window outwards and it goes away, although its kinda tricky at those speeds !!!
  22. Hello and welcome
  23. I'll be there in more of a spectator persona. Pax laps appreciated though !!
  24. I wave all the time but have been getting fewer and fewer responses recently. Dont wave to sport owners either but mainly because I've never seen many that have been modified so don't think they are that "into" cars
