Nice sunny day, bored working from home so I thought i'd remove the Bailey Vent To Air dumpvalve that I fitted to my car about a year ago.

The reasons for removing it were:

1. Over-revving going from 2nd into 3rd and from 3rd into 4th - this started happening roughly round about the time I fitted the dump valve

2. Just got a bit bored with the sound.

After a couple of skint knuckles and the hassle of retrieving several tools and the odd bolt from the engine under-tray (D'oh!) I finally got the original one back on.

I now wished i'd done this ages ago - the over-revving between gears is gone and the car definitely seems to be boosting 'stronger'. Plus now there is no worry (myth or not) about bore-wash caused by over-fuelling!

Anyone want a free Bailey Vent-To-Air dump-valve for a newage? Needs a good clean-up. I think it's a DV 12

This is braw - a quick jump drop-down at the bottom of the screen, another drop-down on multi-page threads so you can jump to whatever page you want, the garage thing is excellent too!

Well done Andy, Phil, Stepehen and everyone else involved.

Edit: Scrub that - file needs to be hosted off-site in order to animate.

Done those two

Opened a support ticket cos I didn't get my password link emailed through but it was quickly sorted by Andy - cheers!

Andy, yes wikipedia or any form of online research counts as google. 

Boooooo!  

Define Google!

Spotted at least on of the answers in the SIDC FAQ.

Does Wikipedia count as a 'google'? [] 

Some pics from today's RR Day below. I've tried to resize them to fit the forum, and removed all the reg. plates (I think!)

Enjoyed the three hours I spent there this morning, before having to take the wife to the shops []  Well done to those that organised it and John's extreme set-up looks very professional.

BBC News Website now saying the 19-year-old front seat passenger has died in hospital []

Tried Collonite 915 on the Mrs new car last night - first time I've used it and it seemed ok. It was starting to get dark as I was finishing up though, so I couldn't tell how shiny the car was.

It wasn't that easy to come off though, but didn't leave any dust. Although that was probably the 1st time her car has seen any kind of product near it as it was a hire car before we bought it.  

Congratulations Gav & Yvonne [Y]

Post sum pics up when you get a spare second!

They have some excellent guides and godo products - I use the Blackfire All Finish Paint Protection from them and I think it's excellent.

Was this it?

You don't fancy swapping it for a nice red blobeye do you Gus []

Looks very nice - look forward to seeing the new car 'in the flesh' [Y] 

Looks superb Glen [Y]

Just had a look at the 5-day weather forecast on the BBC News website and it says weather for Anstruther on Sunday is heavy rain.

Jeez. Thats bad Alan, sorry to hear/see about your accident.

Have you considered buying it back from the insurance co. and repairing it yourself with parts picked up off of the for sale forums on here/SNet & eBay etc?

Although i'm no expert it could potentially work out considerably cheaper than £5.5K.

BTTT - anyone else with an opinion?

Well I don't want to post up what Glass says as if I do decide to sell it on here then folk might say "You said Glass valued it at XXX".

I found a guy over on SNet advertising his red blobeye WRX, standard apart from the PPP and it's a March 03 car as well, but with 60K on the clock and he's wanting £9.5K.

If I was selling then the car would be going 'as is' - i.e with all mods. Plus the spare set of 18's, and all the other standard bits i've got lying around. Only thing i'd be keeping would be the reg. plate.
