  1. T5nwy mate you're a legend. Robbie09, remember you beating me everytime playing online pool I've still not attended a live football match as thats on my bucket list. I am sure we have discussed this? Great to hear you are all still around.
  2. Its been a few years but how is everyone? I do see there's still a few old timers around I did a PX on my Scooby I think around 2007 for a Yamaha R6 and kept that for a year until it finally hit home I was old so sold it. Drove around in an old Renault Megane for a bit, then bought a Focus ST with an extreme fuel drinking problem (which was also underpowered imho). I then part EX the focus for a BMW335i which was OK but more of a grand tourer car than something fast. Sold the BMW privately and bought a MK7 Golf with every extra ticked apart from heated wiper jets. Soon lost interest after test driving an Audi RS3 so bought one of those and still have it. I do miss the flat four though so want to tuck the RS3 away somewhere and get another Scooby.
  3. I remember the very moment of your first post and the picture you put up. I think another Lady quoted you are going to be popular on here How right they were
  4. Pav, Sage advice as above. Passed my bike test in May and bought an R6. Absolutely love it although its a big jump going from a 125 Here we have to display R plates for 1 year which means we are restricted to 50mph (no BHP restriction on the bike) so that helps to take it easy but when no cars are around some people have been known to exceed this I chose an R6 as thats what I had set my heart on. I am 6ft 1 and 16.5 stone and riding it for a couple of hours hurts like a b1tch. Still good fun though but have a good test ride of any bike you are thinking of and make sure you feel comfy on it. As smiley Kylie says above dont scrimp on helmet or leathers. Most of all enjoy Nick
  5. Hey Spally, I'm off too mate. Got something a bit smaller myself :- Clicky link Take care buddy
  6. Folks, after 7 years of ownership I have now left the fold. I have partx'd my scoob for something smaller and cheaper to run Will keep popping my head in from time to time so stay naughty.
  7. Pulled from xlr8.co.im Are there any plans for SIDC to be there? I'm going.
  8. I am gobsmacked. I did know Bob was ill but you dont think do you? R.I.P. mate.
  9. Dudes, I need a radiator header tank from any model up to the bugeye. Anyone got one lying around? Bidding on one on fleabay but just on the offchance there is a spare here? Ta.
  10. OK, see what you mean but generally that is down to the architecture of the motherboard and doesn't really apply to the processor as you could fit the exact same processor in a different board and it would still cause you problems (I would bet that your processor is fine BTW). XP is pretty good at picking up these changes but I would just go the extra and buy a hard drive brand new for £30 - £60 and do a fresh install and pop the old drive in as a slave. You will need to re-install your programs but the files that matter will be fine. Five years ago stuff was relatively expensive, I just built a dual core pc for my sister that goes like stink, will run any game or application for the next two years for £380 + VAT. Same as you used to do, board, processor, memory, power supply, graphics card case. Jobs done If you want the specs let me know. BTW, I am no expert and don't do machine building for a living. I may just be talking shiiite
  11. The Sempron processors were the later model Socket A processors based on the Athlon XP series so probably not that much different but what do you mean "without needing to be formatted?"
  12. You guys brake too much. Still on same set of disks and pads as I was 6 years (and 43,000 miles ago).
  13. All these old names are making me emotional. Anyone fancy a group hug?
  14. Cheers guys Yeah, 36 now so the years are just flying by so hoped it would sneak by without anyone noticing!
  15. Many happy returns Dave. Hope you had a good one!
  16. That will be James Osbornes then. Warby, if it used to have a JMN plate then it is his. If you need more info please let me know. Nick
  17. bumpety bump. Nobody knows where to buy blueprint coil packs for the early Imprezas?
  18. doooooooooood. Hows it going buddy? Hows the family? Email me, I lost your email address somehow. Mine is in profile. Nick
  19. It was two coil packs fooked. One completely dead and the other arcing out onto the head. Cheap antilag though running on two :icon_rendeer: Still not finished yet though so trouble free motoring still isnt on the cards just yet
  20. Hi all, As title. Have used the search function but cant find anything concrete. Also, does anyone have any info on replacing the coil packs with bosch coils and HT Leads? Thanks Nick
  21. I lost heart with my rebuild and almost gave up trying to get her back on the road. Ian from PACE told me to drop it down so he could have a look. A few hours later got a call and took the car out for a test drive. Big smiles again. Thanks guys
  22. I need to diagnose rough running on my scoob. Its not just on boost it seems to be all through the rev range (only revved to 3.5K due to running in). I found a coil pack that wasn't sparking so managed to get a replacement. It ran a little better but has started misfiring again so I want to change them all to see what it could be next (Lambda, boost solenoid, MAF etc). I feel hard of spending £200 notes as it may not even be the coil packs but they are chief suspect no1 at the moment. Ta Nick
  23. I have a fairly quiet Hayward and Scott which you can pull off my STi V2 for a bit to get it through its test if Johns wont fit. Edited to add as long as you put it back on again lol
