  1. Im glad your happy Grant, when I spoke to him and asked for his autograph for you, I explained who you were and he paused, looked at me and said "Has he been up the house?" I said that you had and who you worked for and he smiled and said "Aye, I know who he is! The Squirrel, no problem." So not only is he your hero, but he also remembers you, which is pretty cool concidering he is swamped by fans everywhere he goes. Goodwood was fabulous I met some of the most famous people in the motoring world, form David Richards to Sir Jackie Stewart, my favourite place was obviously the RB Foundation stand where I met Robert Reid again, Marco Martin, Mr Lapworth, and stood within 2 meters of Jenson Button as he was absolutley swamped by fans. I saw cars I have only dreamed about, like Mario Andretties JPS lotus F1, Nikki Laudas Maclaren Porsche F1, the Gulf porsche le Mans car from the film with Steve McQueen. It was a weekend from heaven. Callum W
  2. All fixed. Thanks Russ, Callum
  3. You have saved my hide!! Thanks Russ see you in an hour. This is why we have a club and this is the kind of thing that makes it all worth while. []
  4. I popped the radiator hose on my legacy last week and never bothered getting another, just patched it up like a tool. Its now burst completely, and I forgot to order a new one. I need to drive to Biggar tomorrow for work and I need a new top hose, its exactly the same as the one on a bug eye until present day, ie from the driverside to the center of the radiator. If you have a spare one or have replaced yours with a samco and still have it I will cross your palm with silver and come and get it tonight. Please please help if you can. Pm me Ill be on this sight all night hoping. Callum W
  5. As always Grant , your an asset to your profession and a credit to your nation. Well done.
  6. Great day, nice weather, nice girlies even though the Magazine is pure unadulterated tripe. Rosie thanks for feeding me, Grant thanks for your insite into the state of Tobago. Alan thanks for our blethers in technobable, and thanks to Paul for putting in an outstanding performance and giving the Squirrel something to focus on and support for the day. Callum
  7. CF bonnet is much heavier than an early RAs aluminium one. And a carbon boot is the same weight as a normal boot so may as well cut the gutsout of a standard one.
  8. FFS, okay the door bars are coming out tomorrow night and the gubbins inside the dash. Im also eyeing up the windows. Dont make me go perspex John...... Only if you tell me where I can get GF doors............. Callum, the lightweight.
  9. They are safe as you will ever need. Look at thier crash tests on the internet.
  10. Calm down ffs. A decat exhaust with a decent filteration system and an ecutek remap will see you in the region of 330bhp. then you can start going mad with the mods. Your standard spec with the above supporting mods will see this power gain. A change of up pipe will also be of benefit. Andy F is the man for the remap. Callum W
  11. trottle its what they use in Ireland instead of a throttle. U auld goat toucher, awa and scare the weins. Callum
  12. I met him in Santa Barbara in 1999. Hes still alive. Lee Majors, rawhide, 6 Million Dollar Man and the Fall Guy, fuelled the imagination of a generation of kids, when Playing outside at make believe was actually allowed and cool to do so.
  13. Well, I'm not the kind to kiss and tell But I've been seen with Farrah I've never been seen with anything than a nine So fine I've been on fire with Sally Field Gone fast with a girl named Bo But somehow they did not end up as mine It's a death defyin' life I lead I take my chances I die for a living in the movies and TV But hardest thing I ever do Is watch my leading ladies Kiss some other guy While I'm bandagin' my knee I might fall from a tall building I might roll a brand new car 'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman That makes Redford such a star I've never spent much time in school But I've taught ladies plenty It's true I hire my body out for pay (hey, hey) I've gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs Blown up for Raquel Welch But when I wind up in the hay, It's only hay (hey, hey) I might jump an open drawbridge Or Tarzan from a vine 'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman That makes Eastwood look so fine The Unknown stuntman, sung by Lee Majors. Who himself started out as an unknown Stuntman
  14. The fall guy, happy and content in his bath in the back garden..... Me want one.
  15. I want a bath in my back garden like the fall guy....
  16. Correctamundo dude, you won a watch!! Flat shifting- staying on the trottle.
  17. Nice, but they are a handful when the back end is out. I have fond memories of dissapearing through a hedge with my mate at the wheel doing about 80 in one of those listening to Pinball Wizard. Be careful. Callum
  18. Took the Millenium falcon out for a shakedown on my private road this evening after fitting new front pads. In the end I bought a grinder as I will use it again and the door bars are looking surplus to requirement. I have managed to take 40kg off the already lightweight vehicle. I never thought it would make a noticeable difference, but it does. I also tried flat shifting and it is harder than you would think!! Its hard to get out the habit of lifting as you change and I missed 5th at one point. However when you get it right it makes a hell of a difference. New tyres are on the shopping list well. I may go for R888 as my road set. See yous tomorrow at KH if you are going. Callum W
  19. Must be nice to have the time on your hands..........Only Joking Coulty dont give me the pouted lip, Wasnt that long ago I had so much time on my hand it drove me nuts. Looked like great fun, I take it you were the official photographer Dougy? Callum.
  20. O wad some Power the gift tae gie us To see oursels as ithers see us! lol
  21. Okay, In laymans terms venting the breathers for your two cam covers and crank will stop the nasty gases being returned into your induction tract (The pipework that sooks in the air from your filter to the turbo that has mad pipework going into it, the mad pipework is your breathers, the sooking of the air means that it will also sook the nasty gasses out of your breather, but it will go back into your engine, and that air is nae use because its been used already and is full of nasty gases) A catch can on a subaru ideally needs 3 pipes going in and one coming out, and gives a "can" to collect any oil that is present. the 3 pipes going are from the two cam covers and the crank. Its hard to find a catch can with 3 ideal inlets and one outlet. I had to modify the cusco one I got off gumball to do this and its still not ideal, so I will be venting to atmosphere. I will be doing this because my outlet on the catch can isnt big enough to allow all the gas to bugger off under full load despite all my fettling. Andy F pointed this out. Venting to Atmosphere is quite easy, and gets rid of alot of the naff subaru pipework. Look at the top of your rocker covers and you will see in the center of each a hose coming off, take the hose off and you will see the black stubs the pipes fit onto. Now look at the back of the engine, under the intercooler but on the turbo side and if you follow the pipework that all joins up and goes to the inlet from the cam covers eventually one will lead to the back of the engine at the tubo side and go into the block, pull that hose off and you will see what looks like a bit of plumbers copper pipe coming out of the block. That is your crank breather. take all the pipework and valves in the pipework off the car. You will have to block the holes left in your induction pipe I originally used araldite and plumbers bungs. Now look at the bore of the stubs on the cam covers and crank breather, go to pirtex and buy oil hosing, or if you want clear garden hosing so you can look for oil in it. You are going to need enough hosing to come from each stub individually , go to the bulkhead then down to the road wherever you decide to attach it. Attach the hosing with jubilee clips, and have it coming up, then down to the road, so that oil can run back in should it so desire, and to avoid kinks. Coulty has his pipes going onto his strut brake and down, attached with plastic ties, this is a good idea. But remember you want it running free with no kinks. Many people plastic tie it onto the suspension arms, I would personally keep it away from the exhaust side, if you do get oil coming out (Nothing to worry about!) it may hit the exhaust. When high power cars lauch they get oil out of the crank breather and onto bottom of the car almost all the time, thats life. Have alook at a car with it done and you will see what I am talking about. Hope this helped Callum
  22. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
  23. He smokes poles for tanners, but hes an fgc enjoy the 1.2 corsa
