looks good but think I actually preffered the black!

does the new nuts mean youl be a bit braver at Kames next time?

like you say if we didnt love them..... good job they put such a grin on your face when theyre going isnt it lol

having said that a days ok, its taken me 8 years to get my sti how i wanted it! well almost how I wanted it lol

PPG box Ciaran? 15th July! Is that Andys waiting list just now??

oh and you were right about the exhaust, noveltys worn off after getting black flagged at Kames lol

always the same problem for me regardless of forum - weeknights equals working away somewhere remote! is attending meets a good enough reason to change jobs?

on another note, nice to hear your making the P1 standard as possible - too many being modded to death these days, cough Ciaran, cough.....

how you doing Chris, long time no see! P1 still keeping you happy? genuine question Chris, are the .net meets weekend or weeknight and are they meets or runs? I dont post often on there, no problem with the guys but never really given a warm welcome alas

id be up for a wee something one weekend Kenny

another great day at Kames - shame about the nanny state naighbours but such is life lol

as always great banter, good turnout and sooo much fun - if you havent been yet what are you waiting for!

welcome along hows it compare to the vxr?

wow, looking like it might be an impreza record turnout for recent years - good to see!

now Il pay good money to watch Graeme pushing his car round the track

likewise - finally crunch time Rich

what sort of MY99 is it? if its at 380 might be worth buying for any tasty bits on it

ooft, good job that didnt happen on the fling Alun!! definitely time for your rebuild project I think - with lots of lctite

Lewis, a rover? really? just when I think you cant get any gayer.....

aye aye Rich, what sort of X5 you got? flash git lol

hiya mate, if your looking at 9" wide alloys then get proffessional advice on offset - I have 8.5" wide Rays and lowered about 45mm and 235 tyres catch on full lock

very nice! though care to place bets on how long it takes to be stone chipped again lol? but your right, driving them makes any amount worth while

you dont need help, you need congratulated

yea youl be fine with the wrap, give it a couple of decent runs and itl stop smoking - crapped myself when mine was first done lol

turbo blankets apparently work quite well, but get a decent one

Teins are very good kit but just too stiff for me

enjoy all the changes, glad you kept the beastie

Shame you had to sell Myles but someones got a cracking car - yours was an excellent reminder of just how capable a standard car is!

Been a pleasure to have you along on our jaunts and dont be a stranger, sure we can tempt you back one day

Lewis I take it Aluns will be side injectors rather than top like mine?

I think your looking at the right idea Alun, keep what youve got and rebuild for power and strength

Gearbox killer is the torque from 2.5's anything over 350lb ft on a 5 speed is a time bomb I believe - is it a wrx RA engine you have? if so then the 2000 sti sounds a good bet, will let you rev a bit higher

looking good Paul, makes me cry at working today would have joined you for that run - and even thrown in a free cuppa

just to check when you say 2000 sti is that a classic or a bug eye?

know its a bit of a trek for you Alun but think about coming down to kames at the end of the month, get a ride round there in all the different cars and get a feel for what your after plus theres usually a bit more time to chat about specs etc

and i mean serious brakes - yours wont cope with 400 trust me!

looking good Kim, mine looked like that for a whole 3 hours before the fling.....

roll on some dry weather so I can drive somewhere without it looking neglected!!

you dont want more power Alun, bigger brakes and some suspension tweeks will do much more for you - power to weight ratio we'l be roughly equal

I think what Davie's saying is he wants more scoob related helpful technical posts - like what to do if you have a 2.5 engine hats blows its head gasket.......

get to it Matty!

As ever was an absolute blast, thanks to Davie and Sharon for the maps, the Royal and Altnaharra hotels for hosting it and for all of you guys for coming! especially Don and Matty making the big trek up north - Don's sti is lovvverly!

Standard of driving was great, noise levels through the roof and even those that dropped out with car/engine failures still seemed to leave with a smile on their faces - hope you all get issues resolved/cars replaced

And look forward to seeing you all again next year - bring a friend....
