  1. My dear fellow! You were luck it could have been alot worse. If you need a hand with anything give me a shout, I will see you tomorrow night I have the pipe and restrictor for you. I had a fright on friday at the M74 where you can head up to the A8. Robin H2OMRV will no doubt take the micky out of me if he reads this. How I never crashed I dont know. My pants were needing changed by the time we got back to Edinburgh. Callum
  2. Dougster, Im mobile ATM but checking my e mails now and again. If you have the bits for your car I have all my tools in my boot so Ill put it together on monday for you in the morning if you want. Failing that Ill pick you up and take you to the meet. Callum
  3. Hello matey, for some reason I cannot PM you or your not responding. Yes I want the manual, PM me your address and Ill send the cash special delivery. Callum
  4. My! Havent these dropped in price! Okay £60 to the shop floor.
  5. Its only a pitstop until you find something more suiting, who knows you may even like it! Ide rather eat my own liver though
  6. Sold his soul, for english gold.. What a parcel of rouges in a nation. (And its Burns night!)
  7. As the title says. this has saved my bacon on more than a few times. No frills peace of mind. Covers the whole spectrum. Has a city mode so that automatic doors dont set it off all the time etc. It will realistically catch a gatsco about 400m before you see it and sense radar or lazer before you are in the poo. Cannot be detected if you are worried about stealth. £80 to the shop floor. Callum
  8. And Im sure well see the rest on the day! Callum
  9. I have a snooper for sale, got other means now, its saved me at least 8 times although I only use it on my private road......

  12. Grovit, if you fancy brakes far better than four pots, but cannot afford brembos, APs, Alcons etc, drop me a pm and Ill tell you what I can do for you.....
  13. Would be happy to take you for spin one day, Its a bit of a beastie! But Im sure there are others who are far more modified than mine. Its How you drive it that counts. I gave Dougster a shot of her when I had finished my upgrades and had to stop him halfway because he was scareing me!! And thats the truth!! Callum
  14. Wonder wheels is good, but you cant beat a bucket, sponge, car shampoo and plenty elbowgrease!!
  15. Safe is good, these people who have huge power have the facilities to rebuild and the knowhow etc, people like us need to watch what we are doing because its an expensive mistake to run too much boost if your internals arent uprated and your fuel etc isnt mapped for it. Grovit, no my car is a 95 STI RA and the bottom end is a new sti 7 one with a semi closed deck block and slightly different rods and pistons than the classic sti ones. The man who built it told me not to run anymore than 1.4 bar boost, although stronger its still a standard set up. I would be a fool to disregard his advice. If you are going to uprate your car, you must keep it within the bounderies dictated by the internals of your car or its life will be short lived. There are people on here and other sights whose knowledge is far greater than mine, my advice to you would be to do some digging, find out the safe working limits of modification your car would take and work within them, if your not happy, dont do it until you have all the facts. The net is full of hard luck stories brought about not by stupidity but by people uprating cars and not knowing the whole story, which leads to an early retirement of thier engine, yes do it, but do it safely and always look at how old the engine is and how many miles you have. Good luck! Callum
  16. Well, I was out today and I got the controller set up reasonably well. And I can definately say that the car is much quicker with the same level of boost, it is spooling the way a modified car should and the horrible lag that I thought was the price I paid for a FMIC is much less. Dont know if this is because the waste gate is staying closed longer and opening quicker, or because the pipes are a better quality, shorter and not restricted. On the down side she needs a remap badly because the knocklink is sparkling like liz Hurleys engagement ring under hard acceleration, and if you listen you can hear what sounds like ballbearing being bounced rapidly off the block, which is the dreaded det, not bad, but in fighter pilot mode its definatly there, so Ive set the low boost setting at 0.8 bar and no megga spool up, and am going to use that until I get mapped. I even resisted the temptation to chase a motorbike!! I am chuffed Callum (ps The controller memory logged yesterdays peak boost fright! its 1.76 bar!!!!!)
  17. You wont be dissapointed Its served me well.
  18. Whats wrong with leather all in ones?
  19. Nice..... dont do bikes anymore, got the scars to show why, and dont drive behind me, all my breathers are vented to road!! Callum
