  1. I know a fellow who might like this. I'll show it to him on Monday. Good looking car too.
  2. Tino, good to know that. If I'm ever away on Holiday and it doesn't fire up I'll know the first thing to check.
  3. I spotted this on SN the other day. Very Impressive. Was anyone with a non stripped down car running faster than that? I never noticed if the skylines or the supra were missing some interior bits and bobs.
  4. And how much? Not that I can afford it and my existing car, but a man can dream.
  5. I'm not seeing the downside there chris Obviously using wider tyres means changing the profile to get as close to the same circumference as possible, but I just wanted to know. I learn something every day hanging around these forums.
  6. I have a standard WRX. The wheels are 17x7, but the tyres are 215mm wide, which is 8.5 (roughly) inches. Now am I mixing up my apples and oranges here, or are my tyres (and I guess everyone's tyres) wider than my wheels? If so, would wider tyres fit on my wheels?
  7. Only guy that seems to have them is this one - here. I always look at his stuff. Always well cheap electronics and good wheels. If anyone's ordering something then mine's the Work Emotion wheels or the Volk wheels. I'll pay you back. Hounest
  8. I've got a basic grasp of grammar. Unlike most of you uncultured ruffians . I'm sure I could write something. What sort of articles were you thinking of including?
  9. Ah Stiks. I'm glad it's not just me who needs to call for new underwear when reading the temps in traffic. I have my R-Vit set on elipse meter reading the boost, but have the second value on that display showing one of the temps, water I think. It's best to ignore it.
  10. My Blitz R-Vit reads out the Intake Manifold pressure in hKpa, which is hecto kilo pascals (100,000 Pascals). It usually peaks at 1.25 ish I think, which would be 125 kPa. There's 100 kilo pascals in a bar, so that means I'm hitting 1.25 Bar (easy conversion from hkpa to bar ). Is that about right for an 05 WRX with no intake modifications?
  11. I'm supposed to be at Croft that day as my cousin is racing his superkart, but if that's not on then I'll be in there like swimwear.
  12. One of my mates bought a WRX after seeing mine, but he's not really interested in the club, and he's sort of target audience for this kind of thing I guess. Each to their own I suppose. I can't really comment fully about being part of the club as the number of events I've taken part in is woefully small, but I'm hoping to rectify that with the next Glasgow meet, and of course the trackdays, and hopefully the september run too.
  13. My favourite of all the classics. Looking mighty shiny too.
  14. Scotland in general needs more places to race. Knockhill is a great place, but its not world class, nor could it ever be. We have great natural terrain for building spectacular race tracks. Natural Amphitheatres are all around in the many valleys, many not far from major road networks capable of handling large crowds. 50 or 60 thousand getting in and out of Parkhead or Govan on match day proves that. We've produced enough racing super-stars in every discipline to warrant better facilities. Sorry. Rant over.
  15. They're a crazy bunch of people the Japanese. But I like them. Couldn't eat a whole one though. If you look over on that side of the world - Japanese, Aussies, New Zealanders - all as mad as a brush.
  16. 230 horses at the front wheels in such a light car must be quite a laugh. Will it be making an appearance at KH in september?
  17. Drifting was great. Those boys are "racing" at Silverstone in October - Details. I'm seriously thinking about going.
  18. I wouldn't qualify pete as I'm not from the area, but I probably wouldn't use them either. I went to one on Wednesday near work where I could get a puncture repair done for free (the company gives them plenty of business), but they couldn't fix it, which was fair enough as the nail's gone in at a stupid angle. I enquired about prices for tyres for future reference and they were at least 15% more expensive than Black Circles. The transport manager at work had also said to me that if the tyre wasn't repairable then not to buy from them anyway as they weren't the cheapest. They also scratched a wheel on my last car and refused to take responsibility for it. Sorry mate.
  19. Ahhh. You'll not sleep tonight Dougster! 3rd Time I've seen it and it's starting to click now.
  20. I'm in Bothwell, drive up the A80 every morning too, so Bonnybridge is easy enough to get to. 20 minutes really. At extra-legal speeds.
  21. Want to get the prodrive Geometry done and check the new wheels are all pointing in the right directions. Working all next week but got a few days off the following week so want to get it booked in somewhere.
