Big 'D'

Ah that dont sound too bad then but if you want me to have a look I am off work for the rest of the month with the new baby on the way so I am sure we can sort something out Cheers Iain

Hello stranger its been a while Cheers Iain

That is mint Funny as hell Cheers Iain

Hello stranger, would be good to see you too Cheers Iain

Oh Andy you are having no luck at all with this car mate, I will have to hear the knock to have any idea of what it could be sorry, if you rev the car lightly from the throttle body (where the throttle cable goes to) does the knock go away? also if you give the engine a rev then rev it again as the revs are dropping of (if that makes sence to you) does it knock at the point you catch it as the revs are dropping off? I am hopiing its just piston slap, fingers crossed. Cheers Iain

Great Andy it will be nice to see you both and questions are more than welcome Cheers Iain

I assumed you were running a VF35 by what was on your signature on the bottom of your posts sorry. Your standard turbo should be a VF23 a very punchy mid range turbo that I think would see you to the same sort of BHP as the 34 or 35 perhaps just a little bit slower on the spool up thats all, I find the VF23 quite a noisey turbo too, get a bit of a whine off them as they are idling : Cheers Iain

Its not all about big BHP If you want any help or advise on how to get the best from your VF35 (if thats what you have fitted) then please just ask, or speak to Marc (Scooby22) , if you ever want a run out in my Ver 3 Sti just let me know Cheers Iain

You are more than welcome anytime mate, we will save a seat for you regardless Oh the PM you sent the other day was a little premature, another week to go yet. Cheers Iain

I have to agree, I think the VF34/35 will be pretty much out of puff by 380bhp at best. Cheers Iain

Any more coming to this one? Cheers Iain

Unless you know of somewhere that would build your engine for you the replacement block would be a cheaper option, I went down the rebuild road with my Sti and it cost a fortune Cheers Iain

Hi mate, great to see that you are still about Good choice in second car by the way I bet she loves it, the Forester is a great car. Cheers Iain

I would recommend either the intake resinator box delete with a good panel filter ie Pipercross or an Apexi Power Intake system, as for the exhaust either the Afterburner Vortex or the Blitz Nur Spec would be my recommendations. Cheers Iain

Hi all Just to let you know the tech section has been expanded to try and make it a little easier to post and retrieve information, I hope you find it helpful. A huge thanks to Frenchy too for taking the time to sort this out for us Cheers Iain

Was there another Iain there on Friday? Cheers Iain

Yeah alot of it was at your expense though mate (Very Sorry ), met a crazy bugger in a grey/silver(bug/blob/hawk/ eye not sure could have been a GB270) wagon last night who wanted a go off the lights, I left him for dust then he contiued to drive on like a complete muppet LOL. Cheers Iain

I will be there tonight if thats ok , leaving my tools behind though..............just kidding I will be willing to help out as usual Cheers Iain

More than welcome mate, will be nice to see some new faces about Cheers Iain

This was all on Stu guys, a massive thank you and well done from me anyway Stu Top man, a great turn out and a fantastic evening Cheers Iain

What time are you guys passing Peartree, I need to get fuel and could meet you at the Shell garage. Cheers Iain

At the moment we are having this issue, but I am not certain they would just show up like your lot do Cheers Iain

Looks like this months Swindon meet is as quiet as our September meet mate, a very poor show all round me thinks Come on guys this is probably the best time of the year for our meets and sorting out things to do to make the best of what good weather we get the past few months have seen probably the quietest meets ever. Cheers Iain

Subaru got my vote Cheers Iain

If no more names are down by next Friday I will be cancelling the September meet Cheers Iain
