    Knockhill Photos From Today

    in Scottish Scoobies

    Posted · Edited by WUZ

    Got to remember that the good old days seem to be gone now, not happy about it but us hardcore track day-ers still continue to go ( that was actually my 29th track day at Knockhill and my 74th track day in total) but I feel that a lot of the casual goers were not interested in this one due to the time of the year.... And the fact that there was still snow on and around the track on Thursday night.

    I know I had fun as did Ali, can't wait for the next one!

    Defi Fitting Question

    in Scottish Scoobies

    Posted

    Are you running a sandwich plate Graeme?

    I just don't want to try fitting in the block and end up damaging threads in block and need to strip out engine to fix.

    I've fitted over 15 sets of defi's to Scoobs and NEVER stripped the threads on the Block when removing the blanking plug or refiting the Brass adaptor plug.

    WORST CASE - you'll use a cheap Allen Key and round the hex hole on the blanking plug.................. then fit the sandwich plate.

    TRUST ME - YOU'LL NOT HAVE AN ISSUE.

    In fact - if you want to wait until I get home, bring the car to Ingleston on the 1st of July (we're having a sprint event there, your welcome to watch) and I'll loosen the blanking plug and fit the adaptor with the Oil sensor in there...... FOR NOTHING!!!!

    Would that help/inspire you?

    good good, doing what I really should be doing instead of adding horses!

    Having had another look, I also recognise that knob! Wondered how himself managed to procure an original one so quickly! :lol:

    I think your one came of a certain P1 ;)

    BHP developments WUZ on here he is based up Elgin direction

    there is also an Aberdeen scoobies website

    Ciaran............... I'm near Inverurie mate, how many times do I have to tell you......... LOL

    Walls, that is achievable.

    I have a spare WRX ECU with an EcuTek licence on it that can be fitted and mapped to your car and immobiliser for 450. Service would be about 260. MOT and tyres however, would be a local thing (depends upon whereabout you are in Aberdeenshire, where are you?)

    If you are near Inverurie (I'm a little nearer Pittodrie House hotel than Inverurie myself) then Jim King for MOT and Graeme @ Tawse Tyres can help.

    Get yourself over onto Aberdeen Scoobies Forum for the more local gen.

    That patch in the middle of your hose is where a stainless steel metal retaining "t-piece" is placed. It keeps the Jubilee clips in a certain rotation so you can reach it with the screwdriver to fasten/loosen it.

    It is meant to be there and be like that.

    SIDC trackday - 17th September

    in Scottish Scoobies

    Posted · Edited by WUZ

    Last I heard, JohnS sent out a bulk email to all of us currently signed up for the above event, informing us that if we didn't get any more entrants, they might have to cancel due to lack of numbers?

    Anybody heard anything else?

    It would be a shame to have this happen, where are all the track monkeys these days????

    Has the SIDC considered opening up the trackday to other forums (those "nasty" Evo boys, for example)? ;)

    Time Attack Round 2 - Scottish Imprezas

    in Scottish Scoobies

    Fair play. Agree on the testing yourself and your car, that's the reason we (as in track addicts) do what we do with our cars, etc.

    I don't remember mentioning anything about "Not entering because it may be a challange or hard" because I agree with you on that one. If you don't break your car trying, your not trying hard enough!!!!!! and your need that excuse to buy more "gucci" replacements :D

    Some might say you have pushed 100% in your car........... or did you plan to go off road at Knockhill in Febraury ;)

    As I said b4, good luck at the event and I hope you get what you want out of the day.

    Time Attack Round 2 - Scottish Imprezas

    The costs are 'as bad' if the car is up to spec already and you have all the safety gear.

    BUT yes - if it was a pure one-off and you needed racing boots, gloves, suit, MSA helmet, fire ext, rain light on top of the control tyres and entry fee's it can be a bit scary.

    I estimate my costs for this one off to be £800. I have a race suit, gloves, helmet, boots etc and the car is up to MSA Blue Book regs (can run in TA pro classes). If it wasnt this price would soar!!! Prob about £1700 :o

    Also - once you have done the OHW you have the control tyre to either use again or sell - making a potential second OHW MUCH cheaper than the initial one.

    My Impreza runs 17x9's so I can pass on my 1 event old tyres to Fee to use as another spare set.

    Pro entry for the season costs £2500'ish, for 7 rounds....

    Adam - what I mean is that, assuming you have all the safety gear in the first place (which I do), your still paying a fortune to do an event you might get through the first round of. Potentially spending a lot of money for what could be in essence a 1 - maybe 2 - hour trackday :(

    I'd understand doing it somewhere you haven't been before (you admit you know your down on power, etc so won't be as competitive as you'd like to be....... why do it as opposed to one of your ususal TrackScotland days?) but as Knockhill is your usual "hunting ground", why not save your money for somewhere else?

    Or is it just the fact that you can't handle the fact your missus is a MUCH BETTER DRIVER :lol:

    Best of luck anyways, hope you enjoy it and it gives you a thrilling day.
