  1. BOUGHT A COUPLE OF PAIRS OF MONTEX M1144 PADS TODAY I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET WHIPLASH A COUPLE OF TIMES ON THE WAY BACK. A MUST HAVE FOR SUPERIOR BRAKING (IF A LITTLE NOISY)
  2. fOLKS I was in a place this afternoon where there was talk between a couple of people regarding a cannonball/gumball/bullrun style event forthcoming in the next few months!!!! Does anyone know anything about this event, and if so please start replying to build up the thread so some of us can do it!!!! From what ive heard, theres a 1200 mile run from the above mentioned locations. open to all top cars (not just Scoobys) and is destined to be another memorable experience. i should have taken more notice of the name of the event............................................... GUMBALL3000
  3. clark kent into superman?........................................ if i bought a new pair of iceskates i couldnt overtake torvil and dean!!!!!!! you know what im saying Swigg.............................................the falcon, and a COUPLE of ppp sti's complete with struts and droplinks are still the competition. WWWWWWOOOOOOOO hhhhhhaaa hhhhhaaaa hhhaaa GUMBALL3000
  4. i would hate to be wrong..............but that plate was on my STI before i bought it. perhaps the guy traded it in and bought the WR1? nice plate too as you say
  5. SORRY JAMIE, KIDDING im away for the week. hope you all have a good meet. see you next time
  6. jOHN Theres more red flags at knockhill on hat chav day than saturday afternoon at Anfield!!!!!
  7. good idea. central meet in lake district instead- 1.chris 2.sma01 3. everybody stay calm, pass your mobile phones to the man with the balaclava and make no sudden movements. THIS IS A HYJACK!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. paddy-theres your technical explanation i do believe? grant-Can subaru ie halleys change my oil for me? can anyone do it? wullie-on yurself anyone else-im still selling a fantastic HKS valve cheap. note to self- take it easier,watch the mods,live longer
  9. from last years coming and going there were a lot of days at KH, but if i remember correctly the hot hatch day was one we didnt attend. Its a bit of a watch yer bumper, theres a nova coming towards you................................
  10. Jamie I would be honoured to attend this run. To remain impartial i will do whatever the majority is doing. It sounds really good though
  11. can we not cancel it and reschedule it for when im back from the lakes? wwwoooooo haaahhahahahaha
  12. fantastic news i must agree. edinburghs equivelant to that mob deserve to be removed
  13. arnold clark werent anything but reasonable with me either but clearly arent scooby experts. halleys, nobles all the way for me
  14. surely the capped thingy thats on the intercooler as standard sends the built up pressure back into the turbo and i quicker to respond again? where as with the noise machine, the pressure gets thrown out into the atmosphere and when you open the throttle again you have to wait for it to come back? does that make sense. no idea about the running lean chinanigans though
  15. cheeky cheeky thomohawk its all relative. buy a cheaper older valve or a newer more expensive one. salesmanship as you say, alls fair, however im not giving it the full rhubarb crumble on the price without being asked.
  16. Andy I'll try and keep it short. I bought a black wrx from a garage in the east end of glasgow?? I bought it based on the fact that it MUST come with subaru uk warranty. or no deal. this was a dutch car. sure enough, 5 months in the big-end went! i tried to trade it in to arnold clark. the garage said, wheres the warranty book? you tell me. wheres the 1000 mile service? you tell me. I adopted a ruthless attitude with them until they managed to register it through subaru uk. Never heard anything else after that. they must have sorted out between them. But really- 1. get it registered uk (they can do it) 2. speak to a lawyer. cheaper potentially than a 3k 4k 5k bill for some engine rebuild.................... 3. track down arnold himself, hes always about and confront him Dont know what else to suggest, bt thats why now im mr warranty. only prodrive in my new sti! Good luck andy
  17. no actually im not. Bare bum boxing in old underground carparks, driving rapido and fighting bears in Moscow actually scare me less than that spinning ball. Call me mad as a box of grasshoppers, but i dont like it for some reason.
  18. Gayle I dont know why but that new disco ball youve got as you icon scares me!!!! really can you change it back or something?
  19. top banana. I knew you were sharp mr S. I could sense it as soon as i saw you at that roundabout last night
  20. if you had known the truth?.......................................................... "YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH" name that one
  21. thats me just back from the trip last night. I headed back after leaving you swiggi and just kept going past shettleston....................... Crazy Im sure last night somewhere between helensborogh and arracher i got G FORCE SICKNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to double back to faslane and ask the navy to put me in a decompression chamber for half an hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Truly superb route complemented with suberb driving by JK,Matt and Swigg Thats the most fun ive ever had since they took the tag off my ankle
  22. samual ive been trying to sell a HKS sqv i got last week for a few days now. I think blitz or HKS are the business but want keep my car prodrive stylie, so if you want this one thats only had a few days use then PM me asap. cheers chris
