Cheers guys Will hopefully get a chance this weekend to fit it.

I bought a front strut brace a couple of weeks back but not had the time to fit it yet. I know its only a 5 min job. But just wondered should it be fitted while the car is on the ground as normal or with some of the weight taken of the front. Obviously not jacked up completely otherwise the struts will fall out. Cheers G

There is a P1 for sale at above named dealers. Does anybody know if its from here or know the car. Cheers G

I'm going back this Friday. It's my 3rd trip there. We are going for a week this time. I have always stayed at the Teirgarten hotel. It is within walking distance from the gates. It is the hotel that is part of the Pistenklaus resteraunt. Very very nice.

Sounds like a plan. Wot about East Fortune? Not sure about the runway length though. Wasn't big enough for Concorde to land on so not sure it could cope with a Scoob. They also have track facilities down there too.

The dealers did something similar earlier on in the year just before the new model was released. Nearly went for it myself, kinda wish I did. Had really good deals on finance. Intrest free over so many years etc. Must have been to shift the last of those models before the new ones came out.

Cheers. It soon mounts up when you have to start buying new brakets etc. I want new discs anyway but I want to try and upgrade the calipers 1st. Even if its just the subaru 4pots. I go to the ring at the end of the month so want to sort it out before then.

Was wondering if anybody would know if these would be suitable for my 1997 classic with the right fitting kit? I have 18" wheels on the car already that should be ok, or would they foul the calioers in anyway? Any advice is apprecaited. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Large-Brembo-brake-c...1QQcmdZViewItem

Was never really into the whole "Max Power" scene. Don't get me wrong, got nothing against modding. Totally into my motors as much as the next person. Done all the basics to the car already. Was just looking for any of the small improvemnts that can be done to help the overall.

Thanks again. So just really keeping on top of things along with the normal servicing. Graham

Last item I bought was A walbro fuel pump Next will be new tyres or new tyres and rims. Need new brakes to. Need to upgrade. Dnt even have the phase 2 4pots. Also need to get the car to Andy F for the full works. Oh headers would also be nice too. Its my birthday soon so heres wishing!

Jamie You said there about the benifits of cleaning it out. Obviously its not going to cut out, but should I notice much more difference? Is there anything else like that I can do like that, that would maybe give that bit more or make things run better/smoother. A while back I went round all the hoses and found a few that were slack. So tightend them up and noticed a slight difference there. Cheers again

I know this is major milage but I hardly boosted it on the way there or the way back, also sitting at a steady speed. I'm the same normally though. If i get 220mls to a tank thats an achievement.

Perfect. Know exactly where it is. Will give that a try. Thanks very much for the help. Graham

I can manage with most things. If I'm pointed in the right direction. Fairly well tooled up. As for the fuel consumption. I know, going for a world record. Never went over 60mph the whole wat to crail and back otherwise the flys stick to the front end.

Was out a crail on Sunday for the club day. When driving there and back was taking it easy trying to keep the car clean. Didnt go up the strip either. Now I have managed just under 200mls to half a tank of fuel (must be a new record). This is not the problem, very happy with that. This afternoon had the car out for a bit of a blast, everything was fine all the way through 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear now in 4th when the car was held on boost for a bit longer up to about 16-17psi on the boost gauge at just under 4000rpm the car seemed to drop all power. It was like hitting a brick wall. It still drives ok, doesn't have any loss of power anywhere else. It just stops accelerating. Now I have been running Shell V Power fuel in it for around 7-8 full tanks now. To be honest have noticed the car running slightly better. Watching the boost gauge more closley today it does seem to be slighlty higher than normal aswell. Was just looking for some pointers if anybody has any idea whot the problem could be. Cheers Graham.

Hi folks Had an absolute cracking day. Weather couldn't have been better. My face is still red raw from the sunburn.
