With regard to Spince having his car stolen, i have got advice for all owners from my brother who is a copper in Falkirk, its sensible advice but it may save your scooby one day Further to my last e mail you can advise your members that Subaru Impreza are highly favoured by a car thief gang who cover central and west coast of scotland. Their MO(Modus Operandi)(way they steal the car) is to steal car keys using a coat hanger feeding it through the letter box of the house owner and hooking the car keys. Once they have obtained the keys they then steal the car. The householder then wakes up to find the car gone but no forced entry. I believe this was identical to the one used in the case outlined by your member. Advise all your members not to leave their car keys hanging in the door lock of their houses. This should help as the Impreza is quite a hard car to steal unless they have the keys. Hope this helps

Don , Thank you again for your comments, somehow i feel reassured, i have loads of pics of my car lying about, i must change the avatar, what did shock me today when i picked the system up is just how large that tailpipe is.......its bloody massive!!!!!!!!!!! more like a bus exhaust lol

Fpmsl Chris

Callum, just to let you know buddy, i got in touch with Andy F, thanks for your input, he is a top guy who clearly knows his stuff, btw , loved the johnny knoxville vid lol

i Bought this exhaust system as new from a friend of Jamie's who had a classic, this is why we are having problems, the my 02 is a different fit altogether, the guys in the garage ( and there was 6 of them all agreed on it) clearly the classic system is different , i just assumed the vortex was a standard fit for all impreza turbo's. Thank you for info on Panel Filter Don, although £40 for a bit of green paper sounds a bit extreme when you can get it at Easter road for free, and yes Don your right once again the bore is different, what is going in my favour is that the ninja and vortex fit perfectly although i never got a gasket to fit the kit, the guys are using paste for a temporary fix, does this have any implications? The big question that nobody has answered is.............. will taking 6 inches off the connecting pipe between ninja and vortex ( from the vortex end) have any detremental effects? 11 hours ago i was really excited, now i am getting severly pi**ed off and rather concerned to be honest

pmsl @ Grant, so very true mate, as a wise old man once said..........The best thing to come out of Newton Stewart is the bus back to Dumfries

Ps forgot to mention nearly all the pubs close at 11pm and their aint a nightclub in newton stewart, Quality eh, safe place to send your burd on vacation lol

<< My brother is moving from Glasgow to Newton Stewart to start a new job as some sort of estate management dude for the Forrestry Commision...........so :- 1) Any local advice on housing market ? Budget is circa £150k or so 2) He's now single again so needs to know where the burds hang out 3) Any nightlife action ? ( if any !) Speeddating an option ? 4) Any other tips ? 1) you will get a mansion in Newtown Stewart for 150k 2) burds in Newton Stewart? you serious Cal 3) There is a fiddle and tea dance that attracts the local talent, if they remember their bus passes 4) My advice is search elsewhere mate, Stranraer aint too far away and much more happening there than in Newton Stewart, did you realise you were only 2 miles from there on the mmr when we went onto the a75 after lunch, its a really depressing little place with no action, i live about 50 miles from there (just far enough) but used to work there for months on end when i was with scottish power and i totally hated the place, as for the local accents, bring an interpretator. Gordon Cal >>

Why is everything organised for Sundays, i know i will be in the minority but i work every damn Sunday

Wait a minute, i haven't got a scoob, its still in the garage waiting on the exhaust getting fitted

Welcome to the mad hoose Bonnie, you have found the best place for meets and advice on the net.....When the buggers get back from work lol. I hope you feel at ease to post and participate with the rest of the crew in here and i hope you enjoy your scooby experience just as much as the rest of us. Gordon

They are definitely going to have to trim 6 inches off the flange end of the backbox and reweld it to make the two pieces fit together, not sure of the potential consequences this may cause, there must be some petrol heads on here who can advise or warn me of potential outcomes. Don , what is the purpose of the green panel filter please?

Geez, not even going to get the car back today

Bad news from the garage, the ninja middle pipe needed a bit of modding regarding the hanging bracket, that has been done and is fitted, however when the vortex is connected to it , the overall length is 6 inches too long, looks like they may need to trim 6 inches of the backbox to get it fitted, has anyone with a my02 wrx had this happen to them and how did they resolve it? thanks Gordon

Cheers mate, did your old wrx have the cats in place? Any more info on this would be really appreciated

Congrats Swiggs, many happy returns

I've just picked it up along with a ninja mid section pipe ( many thanks to Jamie for organising) , the car is at the garage just now getting it fitted so i am with a car for the next 3 hours, the anticipation of what it will sound like is killing me. Does anyone have this system on their car just now and if so can they tell me how they feel it performs. Also as my car still has all 3 cats obviously this wont release the full potential of the exhaust so can i expect a noticeable difference from the stantard sti tailpipe i had on the car, i hear the vortex has a real deep rumble on start up rising to a howl under high revs, is this still the case with all cats still intact? I will be going down the full decat road in the next few months but i was just wondering if anyone can give me any indicators before i pick the car up. Regards, Gordon

<< if i was hoofing it i would need 2 tanks to do that distance!!! >> Yeah possibly, and 5 sets of eyes for the polis

I would love to join you all but its 200 miles away, i could not make that on a full tank

oops , sorry contact me at .......gordonwkerr@hotmail.com
