Come along to the tayside meet tomorrow night and you'll get an answer about the colour, hard to tell on your photos.

details of meet in events section[] 

Speak to AWD - they are available on an exchange basis I am sure - less than £100 with your old caliper gets you a new one!  Refurb would be madness at that price, other than the cheap refurb of the seals.

Brian []

i priced them a while back, sure they said £85 each, and they used brake engineering, although i'm sure if thats not right some of the awd guys can set us straight. 

I've just had my 4 pots refurbed,i put them in to my local motor factors, (D&A in forfar), who sent them off to Brake Engineering, cost me £165.

i've pm'd you jon's number

i believe he is having pc problems just now, i'll text him and let him know your looking for him

Don't know the car but thats a '99 front end on it.

Kev which was available on a 98 R plate mate. My first Impreza Turbo (all those years ago[:$]) was a MY98 Rplate with the facelift front.[Y]

Cheers

Gus

 

 I stand corrected,

my 98 S has the bumper with the 3 slots at the indicators,

Don't know the car but thats a '99 front end on it.

Think i passed you today on the nethergate.

Your car was looking good.

Had the car in at Falkland today, they sorted it out no problem, and it only cost £63.

Car feels fantastic now

I'll give Falkland a call, used to deal with them when i had the cossie.

Not quite a wrc car Brian, although the bairn has his pals at school convinced it is[]

I finally got my suspension fitted and was going to book it into Fiskens to get the geometry set up

My car is a UK98 and i've now fitted struts from an sti6 type r v-limited.

I was going to get the prodrive settings put in.

The subaru dealer is saying I need the settings from the sti6 to get my geometry done and they can't/won't put the uk settings on the car as it no longer has a uk suspension and they can't/won't put prodrive settings on as each prodrive kit you buy comes with the settings in the box(apparently they're all different[8-)]).

This sounds to me like a load of bullsh*t, however he did say that if i get the settings they can do it and it will be spot on, i would f*cking well hope so as they want to charge between £150 and £200.

Considering the struts are a straight swap i cannot see what the differences would be apart from having  lowered the car.

Is it just the front wheels that can be adjusted during a set up?

Any ideas or am i wrong and does anyone have the settings for these struts?

thanks

kev

It would be worth getting the geometry checked somewhere else, as i didn't get many positive comments made about target when i asked for somewhere local to get a setup done.

jc used fiskens and said he had no probs, still not got my suspension fitted yet.

Last items bought -   Genuine Prodrive WRC Carbon spoiler and carbon side skirts.

Future purchase -  A wife to control the purse strings  []

a wife doesn't stop the money being spent, it just doesn't get spent on the things you want[]

Last purchase- sti 6 struts

next purchase- recon my 4 pots and get a geometry set up once suspension is on

thank you, it makes to me sense now, i've bought a set off a v-limited, 20mm lower than an sti apparently[]

 As long as they ain't rough as feck and V5 or 6. You could look at KYB shocks if your interested in STi suspension, as they aren't far off the stiffness TBH and they are adjustable dampening too.

Am i reading this right, are you saying not to buy v5 or v6 suspension, if so , why? or is it just my specs need cleaning[:$]

""Kev, Yep spot on -Has someone been spying on me

Just a lucky guess, yer partner in crime mentioned something about a vw/audi show on msn the other night before my internet gave up.

very nice btw

nice one Ian, since i must stay nearest to you it would surely make sense to drop it over to me to run in. i'll even drop you home in it[]

i'm guessing a big audi??

looks like target is out then, i saw mrs jc's car and wasn't keen on the new roof line shape.

cheers guys, forgot about falkland, used to deal with them when i had the cossie.

Got myself a set of v6 sti type r v-limited struts, so i'll need to get the geometery set up.

Anybody know of places in Dundee that can do this? i assume awd and the local dealers (fiskens and eden) can do it? also what price am i lookng at for it?

will get my 4 pots recon'd at the same time, any places that can do this as the local factors ain't much help?

thanks

Kev

"" thats been 24 hours , hope every things ok with WUZ and co""

took us 3 days with the first one.

hope all is well.

Well done Jon even though it was as much of a surprise to you as it was to anybody else[]

LOL whats this about you getting rid of the car ?? You can't do that if JC is to become new RO as you will be in demand.

toying with the idea of a lifestyle change(providing it'll fit in the garage)
