    sad to see you sell up and leave, but all the very best with everything. Thank you also for your's and Riks efforts for the club, doing the CADS vids and giving us your ideas etc.

    I'm sure you will always be made to feel very welcome at the meets/events. But not in the SAAB!!! Come in the Mustang instead. LOL !!!!

    Again, good luck with everything and keep in touch mate.

    Thanks Andy, I'll keep poping on to the site every now and then just to keep upto date.

    Cheers

    Hi CADS,

    Well I have done it, the car was sold yesterday. It's been a pleasure to meet you all and SIDC will always be a part of my life.

    I've just bought myself a SAAB 9-3 Convertible which is a different kind of 'Boys Toy' as Jenni would say.

    I have really enjoyed meeting you guys and attending the events you have set up. You have made the last 2 years of my life very interesting and fun and can only thank the hard work you have put in to the club to make it enjoyable.

    Keep up the good work with the club and no doubt I will see you all again in the future, the next Tatton maybe??

    Farewell

    Will My Clutch Survive?

    in North West England

    All sorted now!

    Jenni drove it well with a few hiccups i.e. rolling back when starting off nearly hitted the car behind, trying to change gear using the brake as a clutch! Luckly she didn't grind my gears and realised soon enough.

    Having drove the car myself today and inspected the body work for door dings, I am home and safe.

    In fact the clutch is smoother to use now, she got rid of the slightest hint of clutch judder that the car had developed over the years. Almost as if she wore away the mucky deposits on the clutch plate!

    I may let her drive it again mmm. I think not!

    Cheers

    I love the site, it has so much more to offer, Blog's, Gallery, Mods, Guest Book etc. Excellent!

    The only thing I miss is the way the old forum allowed you to hover over each post without clicking it and it gave you a brief overview of the post i.e. the first 2 sentences.

    Gained so much more so it doesn't matter!

    Well done guys.

    Will My Clutch Survive?

    My wife drives an Automatic A Class and to our shock we found out we had been driving it on the road with out a valid MOT cert!

    To get it MOT'd ASAP I have booked it in at Mercedes in Bolton tomorrow. The problem is I have to let Jenni drive my car to work allowing me to finish work early in her A Class and take it for it's MOT.

    Now, She drives an Automatic ! and hasn't driven a manual car since she passed her test 10 years ago! I told her to take me out in it tonight so I could assess the clutch control :D

    mmm I can see a trip to Prosport in a few weeks!

    Lucky she drives to work on the M/Way so lets hope it all goes to plan.

    Cheers

    Add your name to the list and when Lee has 10 confirmed we will arrange a date.

    When I have at least 10 names, I'll try to pick a date in October that suites us all.

    Thanks for the interest guys, anymore?

    Exhaust And Re Mapping

    in General Subaru Discussion

    Posted

    I am unsure about Classic Scoobies, the general view that I have adopted is that the engine wil need mapping, taking the CATS off will or may (unsure) cause your engine to run lean which is something you don't want with a turbo.When the engie runs lean it runs at a hotter temp which can melt things.

    The pipes should also be wrapped to prevent the heat escaping and causing your car to run hotter. I.e. Hot air rises, heats the air inlet causing your car to run hotter, thus making the intercooler less effective.

    More replies needed to confirm my thinking.

    Cheers
