put your name down mate, am sure it will go on, my mates P1 sits really low and goes on no problems.....

spoke to alan on thursday, they were just waiting for a couple of water pipes which should be there by today at latest, once they have them there wasnt too much left for him to do, so hopefully all the new goodies will be on their way up here tomorrow, then its just the fitting before the fun starts

we sure have had our fair shar of hiccups along the way mate.....i was very close to breaking mine but just couldnt bring myself to do it in the end, and have done the same as you by throwing loads more £££ at it hopefully not too long til they are both finished and back on the road, really keen to see how your new setup goes, looks v impressive... scott

seems to be pretty good stuff mate, im sure dunc at hypertech is a dealer for this stuff too, worth giving him a shout..... oh, and wheres the pics of the new car??

the simtek gets a good name too mate, dont think you will have any problems with it at all..... the price for solaris does seem expensive, saying that, i paid that for the gems when i got it.... i like your style - save money on ecu and buy more mods, saving money not an option when it comes to subarus.lol

hope you manage to get the numbers up Paul, im like Peter in the fact that my car not going to be ready in time, even if it will be at hypertech for the event it would be a real shame to see the day cancelled, like i said in my post on the events section, the most important thing about the day is the charity, so even if the cars are all standard, it makes no difference, its the taking part that counts scott

the brakes on my car are definitely 1 of the best mods ive made, after a session at KH a few years back the brembos were just not up to the job IMHO, just ask dunc @ hypertech(he was part to blame as well ).. got a set of AP's for the front and the improvement was like night and day...when the back discs and pads were ready to be done i decided to change the calipers too, roger clark were in process of getting APs for the back too so i ordered them and after what seemed like a massive wait they came through, the braking on the car is superb(from what i remember since its been so long scott

sticking with the gems ecu for now mate....should be on the road in the next few weeks, am expecting everything to arrive end of this week...rotated kit has arrived. car is a newage v8 sti.... scott

i should be up for the whole day if you need a hand mate....

sorry to hear that mate....what engine you going to go for now??

????

thanks scotty, shouldnt b too long now.....

thanks Jimser,appreciate that.... am pretty confident there wont be any hassles with this engine, alans service has been top class and ive heard nothing but good reports....

how true your comments are bobby, bet there are plenty folk who can relate to that.....hypertech a sweary word and just means more £££ lol..... if you have a mrs who doesnt mind you modding you are 1 lucky bloke.....

thanks Peter, feel like a fud for overreacting i'm in a similar boat to you as you well know, have made some costly mistakes with the car, but have learned from them...

good show mate, you wont be disappointed.....my bet is it will be the first of many visits, once the mods start it will spiral scott

i hope so mate. sure it will be, dont know what duncs more excited about, seeing it finished or me giving him peace when i get it back.lol

nope, they are no better. my car went there on the advice of a friend who had his sapph done by them, to be fair, his car went really well, but not without a number of issues..i got caught up in the heat of the moment chasing power and ended up wasting thousands of pounds on custom fabrication stuff, twin plenums, twin throttles, custom manifold and exhaust plus a load of other things....car was making good power before, 487bhp on a dyno dynamics rolling road, i wanted more so let alan try all his ideas. after over a year of them having the car, the stuff is finally all fitted and mapping starts, number 2 bore picks up, engine needs rebuilt. i let alan spec the new1 exactly as he wanted, big mistake...... i get the car back to run in, which i did, albeit with it burning more oil than fuel, excuses made for why its doing that, but i leave it with them to sort before mapping it again.... a few weeks pass and i go through to see how its getting on, the car is sitting on the dyno and i start hoping....alan asks me to come through to the office where he tells me that my car ran a big end while he was mapping it the night before.....i later find out that he does not wear det cans while mapping, he thinks he can hear det without them apparently.... the oil issue was still not addressed before he started either....and like you craig, no responsibility accepted... i got car lifted and brought home where i had it stripped down, unearthing a load of faults and issues with the way my car had been built by them. i got my engine sent away for a report, more horrors, bore clearance double what it should be....the results of how bad a mess they made of my car are still showing and being sorted..... anyway, the nightmare should soon be over thanks to the top service/help and advice ive had from dunc and alan jeffrey......im fully confident that now the car is back being looked after by hypertech there will be no more issues...

as long as they keep place in the queue behind mine lol

just give him a phone on 01324 812212 or drop him an email to enquiries@hypertechscotland.co.uk and he will sort you out....

they are classed as "japanese specialists", but they are able to do any cars mate.....

fair point mate, over reaction on my part, with you quoting me then making the comment i took it as meant at me, although clean handed tuner is probs about the right description my apologies for the overreaction......

too long a story to go into im afraid, lets just say it was a very expensive mistake and not 1 i would like to see anyone else making, hence the reason i would advise anyone against getting them to work on their car.... dunc would be happy to spend time talking mods and advising you on parts/mods needed to get to your desired goal, he doesnt do mapping yet but does have andy f up quite a bit doing mapping either on the road or on the dyno.....well worth popping in for a chat with him, top bloke and top service.... scott

as you say, the mistake was on the advert, and as rallyfever had asked about the car, comments were made ref the injectors as he has been asking for advice on the cars he is looking at. dont see the harm in trying to offer someone some friendly advice, had the advert been correct then he could have been looking at a car which was not as described...crystal ball wasnt working too well at the time.. dont see anything wrong with not doing the work on the car myself, some people prefer to do the work themselves, some people prefer to have it done for them, i fall under the second category. does that mean that people who do the work themselves are the only 1s who are allowed to pass comments on cars or offer advice??im not claiming to be a wealth of knowledge when it comes to subarus, but ive been an owner for a fair while now and had plenty of tuning done over the years to know a wee bit, so to be called a "keyboard tuner" by someone who doesnt even know me is a bit sh*te...
