  1. stay on that road myself, just outside crieff almost always use it for going to perth. personal best in my old my00 was 12 mins to perth. and my other halfs from auchterarder so i used to use the kinkell bridge road twice a night every night, great road in the summer at 1 am!
  2. hello and welcome, nice to see someone else from perth on here! il keep an eye out for you when im out and about
  3. out for a bit of a run today and saw a few scoobs out and about, any of them on here? rb5 in the green welly shop car par,tyndrum wr1 between tyndrum and dalmally black 03 sti in oban dbm classic wagon and silver classic saloon about 2 minutes apart between crieff and comrie also came across a collection of jap cars out for a run in oban,an mx5, 300zx, skyline and 3 souped up supras- especially liking the white one with the castrol rally graphics!
  4. hmm,maybe not related but twice now ive filled up my 05 uk sti with optimax at the same services in edinburgh and 5 mins afterwards(when i hit the motorway) during advanced acceleration the car has cut out and thrown up th engine check light. had it checked out by the garage and they said the computer showed dirt in the wastegate. so on a 4000 mile car,wheres the dirt coming from? only ever happened in these circumstances
  5. ive had the same thing happen twice on my 05 sti, garage had a look at it and said it was dirt going through the waste gate. great things test tracks arent they[]
  6. blue 04 plate sti just outside crianlarich about 8 this morning,anyone on here?

  9. one thing to definitely invest in is an optimate battrey charger/maintainer, you leave it hooked up all the time and it monitors the battrey charge and tops it up as required. killed three battries on my bike before i got one of these,nothing worse than a no start on a sunny day!
  10. definitely the carbon fibre, im planning one of these myself unless i can come up with the money for the seibon one i saw with built in vortex generator!
  11. rb5 in the retail park in perth today? i see loads of scoobs in perth but very few seem to post on here? dont be shy!
  12. had nothing but an impreza for 6 years now,they kinda get under your skin w my00 from new followed by, an x my00! (following an unfortunate bit of acrobatics in the first) and now a 55 sti ppp
  13. Hi Jamie, the place in perth is where ive always gone for my stuff. they know their kenwood onions and will try their best to sort it or at least tell you what it needs. theyre still trying to get an obscure part for an old kenwood of mine after 3 years! ask for greg or nigel
  14. yup, handy things private roads im thinking perhaps a bad tank of fuel?
  15. heading home last night i was doing about 110 and accelerating in 6th gear when the engine cut for a second and the engine check sign on the dashboard lit up and is remaining lit. the cars a standard uk 05 sti ppp, 2000 miles and id just filled it up with optimax. it seems to be running ok, maybe a little bit more popping from the exhaust than normal anyone any ideas? is it ok to run?
  16. had a look and its a driver side one,crystal
  17. ive got one lying in the garage for a my00, cant remember if its left or right but il have a look later and let you know if you want?
  18. touch wood i havent had any for years, but the last time i did i got three in a row! dont know if the idea appeals to anyone but my other halfs dad has started a business selling tyre sealant,its a green gel that goes into the tyre and seals any holes as soon as the object is pulled out. it doesnt have a speed restriction and unlike punctures you can have more than three holes in a tyre without having to replace it. im sure i could get a group buy/discount if there was enough interest. and no i aint in commission!
  19. i tend to get about 180-210 with my sti, used to get a maximum of 190 with my old my00. the red light and beep from the dash does mean im at optimum revs for maximum fuel effeciency doesnt it?
  20. i did los angeles to san francisco via the pacific coast highway,12 hours and 700 miles in a day. in an automatic dodge neon that used 3 tanks of fuel,cost me 70 dollars that did god i hated that car, but what a journey!
  21. ive got a full decat mongoose system,turbo back off a my00 for sale
  22. i seem to have a problem with hondas,both a bright yellow civic covered in jordan bees and an s2000 with mugen badges have left me shaken before but on the plus side i once gave a mildly modded escort cossie such a beating that the guy sold it and bought an impreza,result!
  23. stiv6 type r in mica blue without a doubt although id make do with a p1 or a 22b at a push
  24. yea,that was the fix on my classic but it doesnt seem to work on the new one. and the whistles much louder,must be to warn other inferior drivers to move out of the way!
  25. blue new shape sti heading towards tyndrum from the south i was at the garage at lix toll and heard you coming..and getting to the straight 2 miles down the road
