  1. Im putting the whitelines on my car. From the feedback I get from other whiteline owners they are a really good setup.

    There was a place in glenrothes restored teins, however I couldnt find them last year and I suspect they went to the wall.

  2. NGK PFR7B is the plug of choice. Its a grade cooler than the ones recommended and has been proven time and time again to remain sweeter longer than the fancy iridium ones that cost an arm and a leg.

    Set the gap around .65mm

    I set the gaps on mine around .68 but that suited my car and level of tuning at the time.

    I don't think there is a better value plug out there but its been a couple of years since I did this sort of thing and Im quite sure that if there is a better option someone will correct me.

  3. Neil,

    I can understand your concern. If I was a high profile character such as you, I would be seriously concerned about all my stalkers and interested members of the public planning the invasion of my privacy and stealing such a valuable car.

    Im quite sure you are correct to assume that they will also go to the lengths of using satellite imagery and trawl the internet for pictures of a car worthy of stealing only to select from a cast of thousands, your brief.

    May I suggest a few security measures you could take in the meantime to bridge the gap until Google remove the picture, obviously avoiding a very costly and public law suit.

    1. Don't park there anymore.

    2. Employ a Private Security Firm to provide 24hr round the clock protection of the afore mentioned Brief.

    3. Employ a Private Security Firm to provide you with Personal Bodyguards so your security is not compromised.

    4. Change your name.

    5. Wash your hands.

    6. Get a life.

    7. Smoke your own rod.

  4. Hi Callum. Hope all's going well state side. Coilovers are here, I just need to pick them up from Graeme and install. I'll have Graeme set the geo's on it before your home. Oh I'll order uprated mounts to try and stop the motor climbing out the engine bay :P

    Thanks Stevie,

    With the wide wheelbase and size of tyre its prone to severe understeer unless you get it just right. Im sure Graeme will sort it out. Did you ever get the special catch can made we spoke about?

  5. Yes it can be and has been done.

    CRD did it with their Impreza in 2002 when George Smith was their Mechanic. If anyone knows where he is he could give you the whole story.

    I think the main problems he had was alignment needs to be spot on when making brackets, if you are even a bawhair out it will effect break wear and performance.

    You will also encounter slightly greater pedal travel as well.

    Steve Whitson can make brackets for this conversion.

  6. Went out to take the pup for a walk late last night/this morning to find that some :huh: had poured paintstripper all over my car. I have done nothing to my knowledge that has upset anyone but obviously someone either does'nt like me or jelousy has got the better of them as mine was the only one targeted in the street, all i know is that if i find out who it was i will tear the :) apart with my bare hands.

    took it for a repair estimate today and was told it will be the best part of £3k and 3 weeks off the road

    Im absolutely gutted, will post pics later

    Thats hellish Karpsy,

    For all the years I've known you all I have ever encountered is kindness and good humor. I cannot imagine you doing anything to warrant that.

    My first thought is mistaken identity.

    Who else has a similar car in your area? Dealers, the boyfriend or husband of an upset woman?

    Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn!

  7. Their name's wouldent be to hard to learn, most of them tend to be either called Bubba or Hubba :D

    A lot of the guys have scottish second names, and are well aware of why so sometimes Ive just got to be careful when the subject comes up.

  8. Cheers Dunk, found a couple of threads on Scoobynet.

    Just need to get the soldering iron looked out now, or find a more confident volunteer.

    Dave, Colin (Gaysatan2) extended his led's somehow or lengthened the wiring, Ive seen it in his dash similar to the style shown in the above photo but I never got a look at how he did it, might be worth dropping him a message.
