Cheers for the comments. The McRae is number 127, it has a couple of door dings but other than that its in brilliant condition.
Got a call earlier Frank, engine mounts are done, just heading to pick the car up, just the front mount to go on and its about ready for mapping. The pictures are decieving, the car was pretty grubby from the run down, hopefully get some decent weather at the weekend to give it a good clean.
Cheers

Thanks for the comments

Definitely. I was at Knockhill on Saturday and was having a natter with Steve about your car. It is going to be a cracker. Enjoy Kames at the weekend, I can't make it unfortunately. Next event I can get to I'll drop you a PM to see if you are heading.
That could be a bad thing for your wallet haha, it will probably have set the cogs in motion. As long as the weather holds out we will take a run up in the afternoon. Only 12miles or so from us. Yes, defo give us a shout the next event your heading to, one of my mates is a keen amateur photographer so should get some brilliant pictures.
Cheers

Hi Wulsey, it was Sunday we were down, we were there for a few hours but mostly out of town, Michael had put the car indoors at his work. Yes it was the chippie at the town hall, needed refueled before heading up the road and on to Glasgow for a night out

Cheers Kosy, i thought that when you posted the pictures of your car up. Would be good to get some pictures of the two of them together, perhaps up at Knockhill sometime. The car is run in now, actually done 850 miles now, getting Hardrace engine mounts fitted tomorrow and have a hybrid front mount (hopefully soon) to fit before it goes for mapping.

Thanks for the comments guys, im really happy for Tommy with the car he got. I was really surprised with the interior, it is immaculate inside, the Recaros are spotless and just like new. I think we are heading up to Kames on Sunday afternoon if any of you are heading up.

It is a brilliant road, we had a good run back home, hardly met any other cars, was really good just the 2 classics burbling along. Im surprised you didnt spot us down there, we were kicking about for a while, parked outside a good chippie

Dam it, i meant for those to appear on the forum

Some of you may have noticed i had put a wanted ad about a Series McRae up on here. Well at the weekend my friend Tommy and I went down to Newton Stewart to view a car and he ended up buying it. On the road down we had spotted a place that we thought would be perfect for pictures, so on the road back we grabbed some (not many, light was fading and we needed home). will get better pics of the cars soon.

Here is a few pics of my old Terzo with those mirrors from flickr
-
The top ones are similar to the ones fitted on my car Frank. I got mine off ebay second hand but im sure those top ones are the same set i had on my Terzo. Slightly better fit and the mirrors are easy to see out of. The ones i have the mirrors dont give a clear view, nevermind tho, they look good

Group buy on scoobynet for them Frank, Japspeed are running it £129
-
Lovely car mate! Theres a hatch local to me thats on its fifth engine!
-
Yes i agree with you. I can honestly say im happy with the way ive went and where im at with the car. But I must stop looking at new steering wheels and Recaro Speed seats
-
Dont worry Frank, nothing drastic. Im just thinking on changing to a front mount. Keep changing my mind in my head. Would rather do it now before it gets mapped. I can get my money back on the newage top mount. I will probably change my mind again. Thats the only thing that i cant decide on. Im very happy with the car as it is, extremely happy actually! Only other things to be done is suspension parts like we spoke about and into the bodyshop to get a couple of bits that annoy me sorted out. After that i intend to enjoy it. Its exactly the way i want it
-
Hi mate. So far so good, really happy with it. Ive changed my mind on something already tho haha
The car feels perfect, very smooth, quiet and the engine really wants to go, done 540miles so far, so not long now until mapping.
Whats the hold up with your mapping?
-
I forgot i had this picture on my phone.
I will get a picture later on of it back on the car.

Welcome to the forum

I got my car back from SW on Sunday. Extremely happy with the car and already put 200miles on it. (80miles done by Frank, Thanks for that)
I was advised that my engine mounts were pretty shot so i got home and started searching for something. RCM and Lateral etc stock the group N mounts but i found these Hardrace ones getting good reviews on a few sites.

Also Bren at Apex Performance was doing a GB on scoobynet for them at £99! That includes the gearbox mount and pitch stop. Bargain!
I ordered them yesterday at half 3 and they are already at the house. Another trader to add to the list
Just thought i would let you all know incase anyone else is on the lookout for them soon.
Cheers
Dan

A Couple Of Pictures
in Scottish Scoobies

Thanks for the comments guys. A friend edited the pictures for me, im useless with photos. Ive wanted a black and white with car in colour for a while now, i think it was jcscoob that took one of his P1 like that and it looked brilliant. Im sure one of the photo people on here can tell you how its done.
