I'd powdercoat instead of painting and probably just as cheap. IMO painting most often tends to look like someones tried to paint them. Powdercoating makes them look original and you can get whatever colour you want.

There's very little involved in stripping the calipers down and rebuilding plus you've given the calipers a mini overhaul/check that all's well in this area before refitting and bleeding the brakes again.

Good point Alan, I guess if you wanted to put stickers back on you could stick them on before the lacquer is applied.

I'm so tempted to get my brembos done the same as Frayz did his.

Unfortunately some insurance companies (mine) now state that if you say your car is garaged then you must put your car in the garage if you are within a mile of you home.

So that prevents some members from offering up a space

If I think of anyone that has a empty place I'll let you know.

Nice looking but not a patch on your white hawkeye, I am biased though

Great news.

Had my Hawkeye for just over a year and my Scott Lowe Splitter is still in perfect nick, I've got Prodrive Springs fitted and run 18" OZ Ultraleggeras.

Sounds like you would be better to go without it if you are worried about damaging it. Better safe than sorry. I know where I can and can't go in my car locally, so if I need to use some of the not so splitter friendly car parks I just take her indoors car

Theres one in Aberdeen that sits in the central reservation... and when you go past it, it would appear to be facing you... (wrong direction)

Dont know if Ive ever seen that one going off... (it is a Gatso)

Havnen't seen any truvelo cameras in Scotland, not to say there arn't any, I've just not seen any.... and only seen a few in England...

Have seen a few Specs systems though (average speed), thankfullly the ones is Scotland have only been temporary... theres a few on the M6 and I forget the road, but not far from Barnsley, theres miles and miles of Specs...

Dale that camera definitely works, mate of mine got done because he is a donkey

Basically he drove to work and the camera was pointing one way so on the way home he nailed it past thinking the camera would still be pointing the same way as the morning, unlucky for him they must have changed it during the day, so he got a little present in the post a couple of days later.

He wont be making that mistake again

Hello Folk's

Can anyone tell me if you can get done when flashed by a fixed camera from the opposite side of the road. Seemed to have managed trigger the camera near me whilst driving over the speed limit ( nooooooooo never). No markings on my side?.

Cheers Kev

No danger, you can trigger them to go off but they cannot get you.

Past a WR Blue MY08 STi on my way home from Inverness on Monday, looked totally bland and the other half commented how boring it looked.

Then just to make things worse I watched 5th Gear, how crap does it look without fog lights Just a big boring black plastic front end, I'll be keeping my money and spending it on my Hawkeye.

Cheers everyone, had a great weekend up in Inverness. The hotel was fantastic as was the food, ended up filling the car at Keith on the way up but actually drove straight past the Shell garage on the way to the hotel

I was actually surprised at how good the roads were on the way up, we were originally going to take the Porsche but looked at the forecast and took the scoob instead. It wasn't until we drove back to Aberdeen on Monday that there was any snow on the roads and that was after Keith.

So all in all a good time up north

havent tried rocpool yet buut abstract is very nice indeed, be sure to check out the malts wall! for lunch in town try girvans just otside the thistle centre- amazing toffe meringues for afters!

Thanks Dave, I'll have to give it a try.

PS does anyone actuall know the name of the Shell Garage as I did a search on the Shell site and when I googled it the fecker doesn't even exist

whick is a shame as it was right round the corner from the hotel

blue 05 sti- cant miss it,its the one with gold wheels! numbers L** DRS, not too sure if il be about but give me a wave if you see me. you all sorted for accomadation/eateries?

Yeah, staying at the Rockpool and eating at Abstract and the hotel. Anywhere nice for lunch you can recommend?

PS Don't worry mine has gold wheels too

no probs Marc, not too many of them about so youl be easy to spot!

Dave what do you kick about in so I can keep an eye out.

Should have asked Sandy from aberdeenscoobies. He is from up there IIRC

Ah, didn't realise Sandy was from that neck of the woods.

someone called?

as Dale said, one in elgin, nairn and inverness- the one in inverness is at the raigmore interchange just past the hospital,not the easiest to find but as you head into inverness from the a96/a9 roundabout take the first exit at the next roundabout just after an esso and follow the road up. worth noting theres no 99 at tesco up with us either,swines!

Perfect Dave, thanks for that. Keep a look out for me, I'll be in a white MY07 STi.

Cheers

Marc

Cant you find there garage via the shell.co.uk or what ever and phone there garage number?

much is your vpower mam, : 50p a ltr. bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppppppppppppppp...........................

Did that already but there was no phone number.

There must be someone from Inverness on here

Heading up to Inverness for the weekend and just wondering if there is a supply of our favourite gogo juice up there?

Cheers

Marc

Wow, you wern't hanging about were you mate!

I take it that She'll be accompanying you out on Wednesday? Hang about, not picking up till Fritag? but she's on yer drive?

Dale that was photos when Cal was test driving it yesterday he took it up to his house to see how much baby stuff could fit in the back

John - I have felt the force of the 2.5L and jaysus it's torquey. 1st gear takes on from T-junctions can catch you off-guard if you nip out.

Cheers

Cal

I'd say that was an understatement

Slightly out of my budget Captain. I dont want any stinking car payments now that we no longer have Natalies teacher salary coming in.

Needs must.......life is a comprimise after all

I hear ya brother, see you Saturday

Cal you know my thoughts, get that GB270 wagon ordered

Natalie won't know the difference

Its a simple job of bending (very slightly) the bracket which holds the AC hose to the bulkhead on the Hawkeye.

Gus

Cheers Gus, I'm always worried about breaking things

Looking for info guys.

I know the Alloys fitted to the S204 Are made by BBS.Can anyone tell me what they are?,if they can be bought? or name a close look-a-like that would fit an My06 SpecD?.

Colin.

BBS RE are the ones you want, I think BBS went t1ts up so not sure how easy it will be to get them.

I've been looking for one for my 07 STi but the AC hose gets in the way. The Perrin one on the flat4 site looks nice but it's £200.

Can anyone recommend somewhere I can get my wheels refurbed in Aberdeen, no kerbing to be repaired, just the paint peeling in places.

Andy if you go and register on Aberdeen Scoobies we've got something organised for this
