happy birthday loons!

anyone on here from round those parts? im going to be spending the day at Millport country and western society tomorrow so if anyone wants to come and say hi il be the very bored looking bloke next to the pickup and horsebox ....please save me!!!!

thats just awesome mate, i can just imagine the grin youve got... looks like il have to work extra hard to keep ahead on the fling next year!!!

hes got a blue one too?

yea Graeme's got his engine built in the us and shipped over, drop him a line im sure he'd be happy to help you part with some cash lol i know the guy that built his engine is very well respected both here and in the states

congrats to the big lad frae up north - another year behind the wheel survived, proof that lucks better than talent

very nice Phil,always loved gb's and that one looks minted!

anyone thinking about going up to the touring cars at knockhill on the 5th september have a look in events, club can have a stand there but we need numbers quickly!

cracking looking beastie keira!!! liking the wheels - and a saloon at last too

as its always been serviced by grieves id approach them, technically it should only apply if the additional bodywork services have been paid for. however id like to think that there would be an element of goodwill on a 5 year old car....

new runabout? got bored of the rallye already???

lovely, takes me back to my first one with the same wheels top choice mate

ahem apart from the mapping of course.....

ya bast!! so id better get saving had i?? knew you couldnt resist it - few weeks and youl be dying to get it fitted

your forgetting Cathy 3 scoobs!! but Imy's right, poor show Jon - have you actually blown this one up too and are too scared to tell us?

crikey Glyn you been reading my mind again?? > BalliSTIc > scooby222 > >

lovely Al, top marks - you have to have one of the nicest bugs around

good news mate! and thank god youve removed the temptation from me too

having had nothing but 4wd cars for over 10 years means i take the grip for granted - when my other half had her integra it was quite a shock having wheelspin accelerating out of wet corners or trying to go anywhere in the snow. same story with the 330d i had for a bit as a result even the daily runabout is 4wd now, an A3 2.0tdi quattro. when the old boys x5 was in for a service last feb they gave him an alpina d3 coupe, gorgeous car veru quick,handled beautifully and utterly useless on an inch of snow

http://www.exe-tc.co.uk/ have a look there, theyre about 2k though i think

try both the wrx and sti,only way to be sure but bear in mind whether your looking to keep it standard or tweak it a bit - theres plenty of cases on here of people who bought wrx's and started adding bits only to realise they should have one straight to the sti - i looked at that when i bought mine, 4k cheaper for a wrx but by the time i added a bigger spoiler, bigger brakes, ppp kit i was up to the same price -without the better diffs,stronger 6 speed box,nicer interior,better suspension etc and i was paying to insure a modded car too whatever you get youl enjoy though

id try and get a ride in a few cars with the setups your thinking about - i had an integra with teins,handled amazing but even on soft settings it was rock hard got bc's in my 05 sti now and run them just on the firm side of halfway (theyre 32 stage damping adjustable) so i think if you put them right back to soft theyd give a better ride than standard. certainly when i got mine they were half the price of the equivalent spec teins and and kw's,ast, exec tec or bilsteins were all a lot more - dont get me wrong you get what you pay for,at some point when i have the cash il upgrade to exectec probably but theres nothing wrong with the bc's as a budget option

nice one Al,looks great! hope you manage to sneak the keys away from Lyndsay every now and then

yea stick with what youve got - but feel free to drop me a line with a pruce and how hard fitting is for the wrc spoiler....
