The usual suspects up at the hill today, they have changed the set up which is supposed to allow more time on track but not sure if it worked. Knockhill have cut the spectator banking back on the infield at Seat (duffus) to allow more run off as a lot of cars were going into the tyre wall. Unfortunately its soft mud, a Vauxhall Tigra went into it at speed today and ended up rolling end over end! my crash magnet must have been faulty as I was at the hairpin at the time so missed it Dont want to worry you guys going on track next Saturday! A few from today- Full gallery up on my site later tonight. Col.

Mine has used about 1 Litre in 1000 miles of pretty leisurely driving. I think thats slightly excessive?!

What's the oil consumption like with everybody else's 2.5 scoob? Mine seems to be using a bit more than I think is normal!

Out of interest has anybody been on wwwwebuyanycar.com? I did a quick valuation last night of my Hawkeye STI......£8700!!!

Me! (in the middle!) Or how I usually look!- The Scoob- Colin.

Haha....i know exactly how you feel! although i think she's forgotten about me by now!

you should have called me I would have popped down and got a few pics for you! Ad in Jap Performance looks good, cheers for the plug!

All the best guys...although Swany will prob be quicker than Andy;)

The old goblin's still looking good,is it still running big power? Great pics by the wee man too!

I may be wrong but I think they wait about 10 weeks before paying out incase it turns up somewhere.

What age is your car? I am selling my old standard STI suspension on ebay and its amazing the amount of enquiries I have had from people with knocking shocks!

camq, What car do you drive at Knockhill? genuinely interested as I am also at every event up there and will have pics of it on track.

Tail lights are standard and the rear windows were tinted before I bought it, cant see a bloody thing at night though!

Surely the pads are Brembo items..no?

Cheers for the comments. Tried to remove the Type UK badge yesterday but it was solid! Will try again with a hairdrier...if I owned one! Yeah I just fired the plates on quickly, the screws are a bit scabby!

Went for a wee blast to St Andrews today and took a few snaps, hope you like:) Col.

One of us should be there, I may be offshore or if the weather's decent I might be at Crail for the Tarmac rally that's on the same day.

Buy a subaru somewhere else, not MVM.

I have hours and hours of video footage from Knockhill from years ago, some great stuff including a certain Andy Forrest beating everybody in his road going 3dr Cossie in the Sports and Saloons races! I really need to get it onto disc and stick some on youtube. I have thought about taking some videos again but I cant work a video camera and a photo camera at the same time and setting it up on a tripod and leaving it probably wouldnt be that great.

Quite a busy day up there today, the usual mixture of wrecks, track cars and the odd nutter in something expensive! Loads of really quick Evo's, a couple of nice Scoob's but most of them were pretty tired looking! Full gallery up on site- http://www.power-images.co.uk/gallerys/200.../cars/22-02-09/ Colin.

That's the first step on a slippery slope! This time next year you'll be running 450bhp, on your 3rd gearbox,4th turbo...etc... and all your credit cards will be maxxed out! Dont say I didnt warn you

girlfriend just got a bit of a fright when she saw herself on a billboard on my PC wearing...well...nowt

What do you need mate? I have just fitted coilovers on my STI so have a complete standard set-up sitting here. The rear dampers have only done about 1000 miles as they were replaced under warranty recently.

Great mind's think alike

I got my geometry set-up on my coilovers yesterday by John at Pro Grip, a very friendly and professional bloke.
