Revolution sell apparently genuine STI ones for £150.

I couldn't decide if the Subaru ones were for a single side or both sides.

Has anyone fitted these or something similar. Maybe even with a wee picture to let me see them?

Normally when I see wind deflectors they're about 40 inches thick and are on the whoole horrible, but that looks almost stealthy.

I don't know if it's the pillarless design but I find that at motorway cruising speed putting the windows down at all results in more noise than any other car I've driven. With the current weather it means having to crank up the AC, and we all know that results in a fuel economy on a par with the space shuttle launches.

Thanks fellows. Will I tell C&C that Brian sent me then?

marc where's meercat based? I don't know anything about them, heard plenty about C&C though.

Dave, have you logged enough Virtual Laps on Project Gotham 2, Forza Motorsport or Gran Turismo 4 to consider yourself well versed in the meandering ways of the North Loop?

I'm thinking that after my new wing and splitter goes on that the next thing to do would be to get rid of the stock pea shooters and put something on that will let me hear that lovely burble.

I don't want to replace the whole system, just the back box. No decats, up-pipes, down-pipes or other parts that I have no real idea what they do. Not looking for any performance gains as such either (I wouldn't say no though). I also don't want something that will annoy the hell out of me on the motorway at cruising speed.

Should I just go and see the fellows down in Hillington? What sort of price would I be looking at too?

I'm considering a ring trip myself. Looking less likely to be this year and more like a well planned full week jaunt round europe next year with a few others in Convoy.

Where is it held?

I already had a collection of 22 of the 24 needed, only missing the VX220 and the Elise, like most people.

Went for my fillup on the way home from work, stopping in at the Shell after the Kincardine bridge. Hello to the fellow in the white classic behind me too.

So I asked for my cards as I was paying and she handed me a huge great bundle of packets and said the competiton was ending next week. So I get home with TWENTY FIVE packets of them. Do you think I found an Elise or even the not as rare VX220? DID I HELL!

One of the packets had THREE M3s in it.

What a swindle.

So if anyone needs a spare then I'm sure I can sort you out. For the right price

drb5, I used to get the train from Uphall station on the bathgate line, and there would occasionally be a massive train carrying cars went past there to a big dumping ground for cars just outside Bathgate.

It was always full of new Citroens and Pugs. I couldn't tell you for the life of me who ran it, but if you get off the M8 at 3A, find your way to the big roundabout on the bathgate side of the motorway and take the A7066 west bound as if you were heading for where motorola used to be. I think it's near there.

Looks like I could fit my head up it.

Yup, looking good oobster.

Got a few wee styling bits on the way myself, piccies next weekend hopefully.

swiggi, if I can be so bold/cheeky to ask, which Volk wheels are you getting, and from where, and how much?

I have an almost perverse attraction to the LE37T wheels.

I used them for 2 and a bit years with my Vectra, and then they were cheapest for my current car too.

Although I did add my parents on to the policy. My mum as a second driver dropped the price by a good few hundred. Not that I'll let her anywhere near my car.

<< At the last SIDC track day a Ferari pulled out of pit lane and was not going verry quick and i just about ran up the arse of if . Now that would have been a fab axperiance (NOT). >>

Sh!t can happen anywhere though. I'll never forget the day I came within 3 feet of driving clean over the top of a Lamborghini that was so low that it was completley below my eye line.

or two matchstick boxes perhaps. Couldn't have been much left.

Don't let it put you off Pete. It sounds to me like a freak event on a rainy track.

The SIDC event was fantastically well organised and manners on track were great all round. It was ideal conditions until right at the end when it rained a wee bit mind you.

I'm just 24 myself and my 54 plated WRX is insured with Elephant.

No mods mind you, unlike yourself my good man. Well, none as yet

I've done the one at KH in the Sierras. A present from my mates for my 21st birthday a few years back. It was a top days entertainment all round.

You got 7 runs in the sierra, 4 up and 3 down, then on the last run you swapped with the instructor who scared the living pish out of you. Imagine if you will reaching the braking point for the first corner going at the same speed you were doing, but instead of braking for it the instructor continues accelerating for another 50 yards. He then reaches for the handbrake and, in a moment you'll never forget for the rest of your life, but at the same time you'll never actually remember, manages to somehow get the car round the corner twice as quick as you did, and at angles that you really didn't think possible.

Great fun.

That's glorious.

Bring back Group B cars for Tarmac and hill climbs.

I got one fitted to mine from new. I have the tracker retrieve, which means I need to phone them to tell them it's stolen and it's not monitored for un-authorised activity.

Costs can be found here.

The guy who owned the car was a DJ on Kerrang Radio, and was flirting with some bird on the air. He said he'd leave his wife and kids for whoever it was he was talking to. Hence the sale. It wasn't his first offence either.

So lessons learned, never leave the wife at home with your car and a PC.

We'll let you test that Mark. Do let us know the results.

You could always pass the cameras sideways so they get a shot of you looking out the side window at where the hell you're going, rather than the number plates.

I've put a couple of Graham's pictures up on my Album. Top quality pictures all round. Ordered a couple as prints, should be waiting for me when I get home hopefully.

Ah ha. Chris. I went home that-a-way 2 weekends ago as a group of 6 or 8 german bikers were travelling the regular road at 40mph and I couldn't get by the ones that were initially in front of me, then the entire group because the ones that had got detached at the back decided I was keeping them from getting to wherever they wanted to go.

Another great road round that way is the one I take to get from work to one of our sites near Kelty. That takes you through Saline then keep going so you're south of the circuit but north of Dunfermline. Great Fun in a Focus Diesel company car with suspension that settles twice, and an engine that redlines at about 3000rpm.

Quick! Hide your wallet.
