  1. Hypertech in Falkirk/Bonnybridge The Garage in Motherwell Falkland in Fife That's 3 of that I either know of myself or have always been well thought of in the community (jap car - not just Scooby)
  2. The whole thing sounds odd and the owner is saying the police are not interested. I very much doubt that. He is now saying the guys who have his car want £400 and are picking him up to go get the money then giving him his car!!! lol I reckon he must know them in some way as surely the Police would be involved if a car is nicked and then a meet is aaranged to give it back for cash! http://www.ftooc.org/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t...&highlight= Hope you can access the link and tell me what you guys think...
  3. Eh? Zymol is not expensive and I don't use more than a capful in a bucket of water! I def. don't have money to burn hehe... http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...ategoryId_33968 £5.99 for 500ml...
  4. I never use the lube - bit of a scam imho - I use water with Zymol or something and just dip the clay in and keep the bodywork wet with a cloth - never seems to do any damage and the paintwork feels like glass afterwards. My other way of doing it is to do it in the rain!! lol - I went out after getting my first claybar (from Germany) and thought I'd try it on one wing then it started raining and I ended up doing the whole car! heh
  5. Cheers m8 - I have an 03 WRX and I know the bushes etc are standard even though Al uprated a lot of other things and also had removed some stuff prior to selling to the dealer the car was going to before I nicked in and bought it. Cheers for the info too TheWelsho
  6. I was hoping to get to AWD and Crail but the wife was ill so I had the kids all weeend! Thw whiteline stuff was what I was gonna get too so it's going thru to Hypertech as they are (still) doing free fitting which you can't argue with! Whats best setup for the newages then? Don't wanna spend too much so most benefit for least outlay would be nice
  7. WTTC m8 - lovely car...my first ever shot of a Scooby was in a white RA fresh off the boat from Japan...felt so tight!
  8. yeah sounds like they are checking tax discs then the police are pulling them. (Good!) The police in West Lothian (I saw it on the A89) also have a 57 plate silver BMW or Merc estate now - I saw it as it had pulled someone over at Newbridge. (BMW and Merc just look the same now so can't actually remember which it was!)
  9. sounds like they may have some sort of throttling on connections from a specific IP to stop the traffic being too high? Just a guess. You may be affecting the performance of the whole site at peak times so they've blocked you No more than 2 concurrent connections for you! EDIT: - Just tried it and opened 7 windows to SIDC forum and different sections of the site with no problems...
  10. ebay them for a tank of petrol money - job done! Suddenly they will get loads of calls for pads and put the price back up thinking they have hit a rich vein! lol
  11. We use a booster seat for Grace and she is 3 going on 4 - so you don't need a full car seat for the 4yr old
  12. you can reg for free and search for the specific type of petrol too and you can increase the range...
  13. Congrats m8, we are on 2 just now (3yrs and 2yrs!) and I'm happy sticking at that! And he's not smiling - it's just wind!! lol Enjoy your time with the new nipper.
  14. A few guys on the FTOOC used Seafield Coachworks iirc they seemed to do a good job.
  15. Welcome m8 - I am also in Livi and also have a blue blobeye but with white alloys Will keep an eye out for you.
  16. There is one of those in Livingston and I passed one this very morning and got a wave...I doubt it was you tho as you would have spotted your old car from a distance and flashed no doubt Very cool and practical tho m8 Nice one. http://www.litchfieldimports.co.uk/subaru_06forester.asp Wee vid of VBH squealing her delight at the Forester
  17. The Banzai days are quite so chavvy so you normally get a good turnout of like-minded enthusiasts. Is this next Sunday or today - cos it's blowing a blizzard in Livingston!
  18. WTTC m8
  19. A London lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a Glasgow copper. He thinks that he is smarter than the cop because he is a lawyer from LONDON and is certain that he has a better education then any Jock cop. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the Glasgow cops expense!! Glasgow cop says, " License and registration, please" London Lawyer says, "What for?" Glasgow cop says, "Ye didnae come to a complete stop at the stop sign" London Lawyer says, "I slowed down, and no one was coming" Glasgow cop says "Ye still didnae come to a complete stop. License and registration, please" London Lawyer says, "What's the difference?" Glasgow cop says, "The difference is, ye huvte come to complete stop, that's the law, License and registration, please!" London Lawyer says, 'If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I'll give you my license and registration, and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don't give me the ticket.' Glasgow cop says "Sounds fair. Exit your vehicle, sir" The London Lawyer exits his vehicle. The Glasgow cop takes out his baton and starts beating the f*** out of the lawyer and says "Dae ye want me to stop, or just slow doon?"
  20. or - DO go without things you want - but only for things you REALLY want....
  21. I am getting the bonnet touched up - it's weird how the bonnet gets chipped more than the front of the car! Still trying to find time to sort out the spoiler....as the car is my daily driver and I have been staying late most nights to finish a magazine we are sending to the printers on Monday
  22. Passed with one advisory and nothing else! It went to Hypertech to be done and sadly they didn't have any of the whiteline parts in that I want or that would have been done too... The condition of the car is testament to Irish Al's care with it so thx to him for selling me a cracker
  23. btw - what time do they open? The wife is gonna take me thru 1st thing then dropping me into work but not sure if I can put the keys thru Hypertech's door or not? If they open at 10 or so I can just get a workmate to follow me thru to drop the car off.
  24. Got my car going in to there tomorrow for MOT - also considering getting some Whiteline parts fitted - what's the best first mod? I'm thinking ARB or anti-lift? I already have Tein springs. The car is handling very nicely now with the 17's. Not sure if it needs Geometry done again as Al had it done to Prodrive settings not too long ago. Any advice?
