Cool m8! Yeah, reasonably happy now, it certainly feels alot better...... reckon I'll be happier IF I get the right results at Dastek tho'!! Only thing is I've not got the BOV on anymore and can't decide whether to put it on or not.... don't want to affect the work that's just been done on the car. Cheers for now.

<< Cant see their being a problem....it's me thats taking the hit, not Dastek. No problem in my views. >> Fair point m8. Regarding you taking the hit, I'll refund you or buy you beers!! << If Gerry wants a call to confirm i'm happy with you doing it, i'll call him matey. >> Don't worry Johnny, I'll speak to him and if there's a problem then I could let you know. Cheers again. Thomo.

Cheers, for the number Spooks m8, wasn't sure if there was a certain number I should use or not. Holiday was sweet, was in Samui for 8 days..... making use of B's free flights!! Lesson learnt...... if at all possible AVOID Bangkok Airport... absolute chaos!! << Thomo...see if you can use my run....as i never ran mine at the re-run, or get a refund. >> Hey Johnny, how you doin m8? Quality idea with the re-run....... would anyone have a problem with that, and d'you think dastek would be OK with it?? Out for now. Thomo.

Alright folks!! Just a quick update to say that I got my mota back from Nobles this morning and it feels like a new car!!! Apparantly they had some boy up from down south to reprogramme the ECU, and he's played about with the boost or something (sorry, was toatlly jet lagged so wasn't really listening), anyway all feels a lot smoother and more eager.... just need another run at dastek to see if there's any difference! BTW, it was all done under waranty too. Mentioned the oily thing too John, and they said all is well! Anyone got a number for Gerry at Dastek??? Cheers for now guys. Thomo.

Alright John, Not had the car seen to yet, but was on the blower getting it booked in this morning - it goes in next Thursday and they're keeping it while I'm away on hols....... and yes I'll be making note of the mileage!! Will hopefully be running sweet for when I get back! Thomo.

<< Think when u reach 55 you should have to go and take an assessment drive with an instructor. i have had some close calls too and they all seem to be with elder drivers with no road awareness >> I am inclined to agree with you there m8 !! Funny Story: Was driving through Edinburgh a while back and ended up behind a ford Ka.... which had a set of car keys hanging out the boot lock. Yep, it was an elderly woman driving.. you know the ones that insist on shoe-horning themsleves between the uprght seat and the wheel!! Anyway, couldn't help but imagine the situation at home when she must have been looking for her car keys and then decided just to take the spare!!!!

Morning all! Well, had my first close call in the Scoob this morning heading into work. Not sure how many of you know the stretch of road, but heading down from the last slip on the A90 before the tolls towards the Tesco roundabout in South Queensferry..... next to the Shell Station.... ... well tootling down the hill at around 30mph (car was still cold ) in the outside lane when I get along side a suzuki jeep thing (just at the entrance to the Shell Garage) when he decides to change lane!! Thankfully there is a break in the central reserve at this point to allow access to the garage - I managed to swerve into the right-turn lane for the garage and avoid my first bump. Just aswell none of you guys were heading for your daily (or is that just me) top up of Optimax or it could have been nasty!! Funny thing was the guy totally $h@t himself once he realised what he'd done, stopped in the middle of the road (holding everyone else up) to appologise to me..... bl**dy maniac looked about 90 yrs old!!! Anyway, just a reminder that no matter how good a driver we all think we are, you just can't trust some of the other mentalists on the road!! Cheers, Thomo.

Hey Mako, Cheers for the response.... was what I thought. Thomo.

Alright guys, Anyone know if PPP'ing an MY03 STi removes the centre cat?? Cheers. Thomo.

Cheers for that John. I'll make sure I mention that to them when I take the car in next week. Laters, Thomo.

Ragin!! ... cannae make either of these dates!!! Oh well, will just have to hear about it when I get back from sunning myself in Thailand!! Thomo.

Alright Brian, Glad to hear you've got you car back matey, bet it's been a long 3 weeks!! Had my eyes (and ears) peeled at Nobles yesterday for your car, but couldn't see it (or hear it). Thomo.

Alright all, Just thought I'd post up regarding my poor resluts at Dastek last weekend.... Well, made a phonecall to Nobles on Monday morning and explained the situation. Long story short, they told me to take it in and they would check everything over. Took it in first thing this AM and one of guys plugged some kinda computer into it and then ragged the @r5e off it for 15mins (using a quarter tank in the process ). Just had a phoncall from Colin at Nobles to say that they need the car for 2 days to 're-programme' a few things - apparantly some of the work needs to be done while the car is 'cold' (??). Unfortunately he never went into too much detail, but hopefully this should sort things out! While I'm on, John (Mr NTS) you mentioned something about a problem with oil in the engine bay or something - sorry but given that it was the back of 8 on a Saturday morning I didn't catch exactly what the issue was.... any chance you could do me a refresher course so I can get them to deal with that when the car goes back in, thanks m8. Won't be putting the car in until the middle of the month but I'll let you know what happens. Cheers for noo, Thomo.

Alright all, Cheers for the banter on Saturday - was a good day out! Really wish I'd been able to hang around for the Yaris run!! Anyway, I'm off to speak to Nobles and hopefully get this car into them for a once over.... could be looking to go back to Dastek onec that's done! Laters guys! Thomo.

Will be at McD's for 8. Thomo.

<< I think a lot of folk are going to dalgety bay for the rolling road. >> ...... on Saturday.

Quality running order Spooks!!! Just hope I'm not the first to get 'bad' results!!! What time we meeting for brecky then?? Thomo.

Alright Spooks, Just to confirm I'll be there. Also up for meeting at Miccy Dees depending on runnig order. Cheers m8. Thomo.

Sorry for the ignorance, but what's on at K/Hill tomorrow...??? And can anyone just turn up to spectate?? D'Oh!! Found the original thread!!

Alright guys, Sorry I missed you today, was at MacDonalds from 1102 till 1125 then headed off. Grumbler, were you running the 1/4 mile, I thought I saw your car in the line up....?? Anyways, either of you going to Datek at the end of the month - if so I'll catch up with you then. Cheers, Thomo.

Quality guys, I'll be up for meeting at Miccy D's for 11! Hopefully see you there. Thomo. P.S. couldnae agree more about the cupar to crail section.... P.P.S Heard the works on the bridge have been suspended this weekend, so no queues either.

Just thinking about heading up for the drive and to see whats going on, will probably depend on the weather also. I'm in Edinburgh BTW. Thomo.

Anyone thinking about going along??

Alright! Looking at the photos I have to agree with all the other comments... nice Noble, nasty Evo. However, I've seen that evo blasting around Edi a few times now and actually thought it looked OK. Perhaps I need to be having that appointment with the optician sooner rather than later...... Thomo. P.S. Where were the pics of the evo taken... South Gyle?? And anyone know if Pentland sold the other Noble that was sat there for weeks and weeks?
