  8. ow do carl, yep you are quite right i am in aberdeen i went to awd because of the search i did on here about brakes and stuff there was quite a few things about awd and they had the stuff in stock was'nt anything to do with not wanting to deal with anybody in abz and perth aint all that far away is it ?
  9. you bet ya. thing is it's a bit of a bugg%# on the old fuel bill, but hey ho it's all fun at the end of the day but i think i'll have to go and see my chiropractor soon cause me heed is almost hitting the steering wheel now cant wait for the next installment of back pads and braded lines cheers paddy so are you sure you aint on commission mate
  10. fitted new mintex pads and disks to the front of me MY98 type r and all i can say is OH MY GOD and a big thanks to awd motorsport in perth for the advice and everything cheers. if the beers get in the way tonight i may just have to wait till sunday and test them babys out good and proper
  11. i spoke to calder in december about the yellow one and they told me that if i wanted to come down and take a test drive that i would have to wait a bit as they were working on the bottom end of the engine as it had a bit of a "knocking noise " comming from it, i enquired a bit more about this and they said that it was nothing major and after all the work there would be no change in price and as this has been sitting for a while it's price has dropped anyway you could, if interested, try and barter them down a bit more
  12. i's a means to an end i suppose, but this is when it's pants, you see the nice warm weather and think Bu@@er i should be out playing i'm heading offshore the morrow going off to bp clair on the maersk inspieror (not sure if thats how you spell it) where did you get your braded lines from and how much? i take it they are easy enough to fit?
  13. think they are just standard scooby calipers as for the pads and discs i dont know as the car was purchased at the end of jan
  14. shame that oobster hope the weather keeps up for the weekend, just enjoy it whilst i have a check in to go offshore on friday i did happen to see a few other scoobs out today, they were doing the same as i if the weather holds i think the white one will be given a good seeing to again even with the shuddering steering wheel
  15. anybody else go out for a very long blast in todays nice warm weather? decided to go out for some light bulbs from Q & B at bridge of dee in aberdeen and ended up on the road to ballater, aboyne was nice and by chance i found one or two very nice roads to play on the only bu@@er is that i had a big bit of brake fade and almost went "off road" whilst not meaning to not only that but have developed brake judder, quite a bit at times under hard fast braking any suggestions ie upgrade or do i just change disks if so what to go for ? any of you chaps went for braded lines ? MY 98 sti type r
  16. sorry to see that some jerk took your motor out dont suppose you took any photos of the crash site ie how the car situated after being hit, where all the parked cars were at the time even car reg no's that were parked there hindsight is always 20/20 but with camera phones the way they are today it is poss. to get pretty good shots even at night, not the first thing you think of just after some di**head has just blasted into your motor the reason i ask is because this has helped out in a suitation before
  17. well i could be after both as me mate has just got himself a scooby aswell and is after a few bits too get a few more bhp out of it if you could send me some piccies that would be a plus stevesmithm3@yahoo.co.uk cheers steve
  18. must admit that i do like the noise that my new magnex full system makes on my MY98 sti type r but am very interested in the down pipes as well, how much bhp do you think these make? and how easy are they to fit on me car ? cheers steve
  19. thats the best part of the job mate best thing is when you hear the chopper its a case of have passport will travel, i'll go and work any place i get sent to, life of a service hand
  20. as long as folk dont bite i'll come to this one, was going to come to the last one but had a busy day at the office, traffic was a bugger, could'nt find anything to put on, lost me keys..................... hope you guys wont be to hard on me for not washing the motor, dont think there's much point at the mo, steve
  21. ahh well we cant help that can we hope you aint freinds with those folk who say they are in the motor trade ie doomhill motors....... before i got my MY98 the other month i went up with my m3 evo to look at the silver sti they had, that had been on the lot for a few months the cheeky bstardo offered me just 7k i almost said something very unflattering to him before i walked away think they should be taken up before trades people, more like thieves then bloomin car sales............. i also am involved in the black gold industry for me sins, cant help it coming from this part of the country i suppose, but the good thing is that with the time off and the extra beer vouchers we can get the type of toys that gives a big grin steve
  22. thanks to the folk that have sent me e-mails and i am glad to say that i have managed to get myself a set cheers folks how do carl, i´m round about the king street area, wot about yersail ?
