  1. nice to have a specialist as back up, but right or wrong i'm after keeping a full main dealer history for now. cheers anyway though guys
  2. and if they do how much discount do they give? i've got a cam belt service coming up and the brakes need doing aswell, so could be a few quid. i know it's not really the right reason to join a club just for a discount, but if it's cost effective i'm thinking why not? not sure i'll have the car come the next service so will the discount on this one bill be enough to cover the subs? cheers, Paul
  3. when you flashed, that guy in front of you had a real WTF? look on his face as he was coming towards me lol, it's only taken 10 years of driving a scooby to be 'officially spotted'
  4. spotted leebo along Ash Road, Hartley about an hour ago? damn fine looking car that, not really seen that many RB's in the flesh have i finally been spotted?
  5. that's not a good thing to hear it is what my mate has been hearing though, i thought these things would be bullet proof. thanks 20, that was the guy i was trying to think of, does he have contact details or is it best to PM him on here? Kentperformance, good to hear you know about these just googled your site, might well pop down today. thanks again guys, much appreciated
  6. my mate has got a pretty serious sounding problem with a seat alhambra 1.9 tdi (yep, it's a rocket ) he's being told he's got a blown turbo, but he's after a really non biased diagnosis of the problem as we're both not sure if the garage is totally on the level. if you know next to nowt about cars (like me) you'll know how much an honest opinion is appreciated, so does anyone know of any local people or garages that might be able to help? just after someone who knows what they're looking at to see if there's another issue that might be causing the turbo problem. cheers, Paul
  7. you're not alone, i think she's lovely i quite like her voice aswell, very good live
  8. that might have been me what car do you drive mate? saw a couple on friday
  9. they're taking a hammering to be honest, i think you'll get it for a chunk less than that. put it this way, if someone came to my front door and waved 12k in front of me they'd be driving off in a white sti
  10. as much as i hate myself for saying it, that's a bit overpriced (if it's a private sale) does look great though. have you had a look around pistonheads for something a bit nearer? i'm not sure of numbers of black ones around but i didn't think it was a rare colour? just thinking about saving you a long trip i had to travel to chorley to get mine (250 miles each way damn long day that one) but there was only 5 in the country at that time so it had to be done as for common probs, trevor has pretty much covered it. knocking struts is about it only other bit of advice i would give if you do get it and it's got the REO70 bridgestones on is take is easy if it's a cold damp day, they're not as grippy as they should be in those conditions. not dangerous, but these tyres are so good in the dry that it can catch you out this time of year.
  11. i had an afterburner on my old classic with a full decat and it was a bit droney on motorway driving. feathering the throttle at about 70 was just about ok, any faster and it resonated around a bit. not the worst i had on that car for droning, step forward the awful Firestorm , i think you'll be ok if it's just a b/box but even with the better soundproofing if you start removing the cats it might get a bit too much. apart form being very biased towards it , i'd struggle not to recomend the Genome backbox if you can find one. easily the best b/box i've ever had (and there's been a few!) loud when you want it, quiet enough with other passengers/kids in and with no droning at all at any speed
  12. i'm sure it doesn't make the slightest bit of difference (and maybe you've done it on purpose) but shouldn't the callipers be the other way round? my nearside has the writing round the other way not trying to be an ar5e just surprised that you're not noticing a lot of difference over the subaru 2 pots, and wondered if it would make a difference being the other way round?? i noticed a big difference between the brembos and my old scooby 4 pots and that had ds2500's on. saying that, the braided lines on the sti really did make a difference though. maybe that's all it needs
  13. wow, what a great find! silly low mileage and a cracking spec i'd say your white one looked better, but i'm horribly biased
  14. rather pretty girl in a blue WRX turning into istead rise about 1/2 hour ago think it had a WRX300 spoiler, but didn't see if it was a 300 or not. got a wave
  15. White it's the new black. or should that be white? i confuse easily, please forgive me
