  1. THE best example of a classic in Scotland. (IMHO) Well done Colin and nice to see you today as ever. (again apologies for camera phone pic)
  2. Sorry for the poor camera phone shot but these must be about 30" spinners!!!!!!!!!!
  3. I never knew that......................
  4. I was in the McDs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (In a Ford Transit Connect)
  5. Plenty of tickets were still on sale at the Underground!!
  6. Threads can only be pinned for certain timescales. I have re "stuck" it. [] Peter do you take PayPal?
  7. Don't get your hopes up if thinking of Crail or Knockhill!!!!!!!!![:'(] Anyone fancy some snowboarding?
  8. Female in a green new age with prodrive spoiler and SIDC tax disc holder in OK posting a letter. P1 with nasty (IMHO) light clusters in Cleland and a Blue sti with magnex just outside the village. Silver Sti 2 with pink sticker on rear window on Merry St, Motherwell. Anyone on here?
  9. One never left the building. []
  10. I forgot to mention I fitted deadening throughout and the Sony X plod mini disc head unit.......[:$]
  11. I hope he gets plenty of cutlery then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! []
  12. Talizman aka John Reilly done a rear wiper conversion on his classic. I also believe a more moden looking Clio or Corsa wiper arm should fit the motor. As for speakers (again a classic) I fitted Infinity 605 components in the front with 505s in the rear doors with a small Pioneer sub/amp tube in the boot. As for the spacers I don't think that would be the best idea IMHO.
  13. Spluff I think he's been lucky. Have you priced an engine rebuild?
  14. Greersport web page is under development (it has been for as long as I can remember as they are always too busy in the garage playing with cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![])
  15. I spotted a white scooby near the roundabout between Bothwell and Hamilton. Big chunk out of the body kit front bumper to accomodate a FMIC??
  16. Sorry for not waving and I wasn't checking if you had locking wheel nuts but just craning my neck to see if it was a WRX 300. I was in an Astra Van at about 5pm. I also seen on my travels today a nice white WRX with speedline rally wheels (like an Integrale) on the south side and what I think was a flash of a new age black scooby with dark wheels and roof scoop heading onto Kingston Bridge.
  17. Ricey check my post on this thread. http://forums.sidc.co.uk/forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=622741
  18. Cal, the guy in Glasgow (Thornwood) will do any size. He done my old plates and is the guy that used to be in the Mini Centre near Hyndland Honda.
  19. Please keep posts factual. Any further unsubstantiated or hearsay comments will be removed.
  20. Personally I wouldn't bother. Your car only needs about 1 to 2 minutes normal driving to let everything cool down, again let it idle for a bit if you feel the need or have had a recent blast on your 'private racetrack' []
  21. Bump steer is the tendency for a tyre hitting a bump to momentarily change its toe-in setting, which causes the car to feel like someone turned the steering wheel a bit. This happens due to the tyres’ suspension going up and down over the bump. The steering arm is attached to the body of the car at one end, and the suspension at the other end. So it travels in an arc. When a rod with one anchored end travels in an arc, the effective length of the rod changes. This is what pulls on the wheel and makes it feel as though someone besides the driver is steering the thing. The 'Bumpsteer' modification effectively stops this from happening by adding shims to the steering rack, lessening the effect on the geometry. Falkland Performance in Glenrothes did mine.
  22. What about bumpsteer modification?
  23. The Scooby Shootout (run by TOTB and SNet) and TOTB 5 (Ten of the Best) are BOTH held at Elvington near York. The shootout is 21st May with TOTB 5 held on 30th June. No links posted earlier on this thread were to do with TOTB 5. This one is........... Ten of the Best 5[] Andy I didn't see your name on the list of confirmed runners for Scooby Shootout. You just holding back the cheque till nearer the time and keeping them sweating!!! []
