Atkinson now up to 3rd

quote from SWRT This morning was good, but then it is so, so disappointing for me and the team to have this problem and to have retired on the first day” said Petter Solberg. “Into stage six I hit a small rock on the inside round a left hand corner, and after that the front suspension dampers just broke. Oil came on the screen, and a bit caught fire under the bonnet. We were lucky to put it out before any real damage, yet again the car let petter down after setting some of the fastist times for the 3rd successive rally the guy needs some lck before the season runs away to much

Yet another set back for petter, retired on the 1st day atkinson in 5th though

Im back out their later this year although im on a ship we have totaly different kind of dangers been out their numerouse times since 98/99 (when weapons inspectors were kicked out) and it doesnt seem to get any better the threats just get wider ranging

PMSL i find myself (force of habit) waving when im in my other car (Pug 206) now that gives the scoob driver a confused look lol most peeps are too busy looking for speed camera's nower days

if you had a end product to show wich as peep's have said was user friendly with pics then im sure i would be interested however having a scoob and over compensating (obviously lol) i would probably like to see a bigger frame/screen available as well lol

this is 22B andys method of how to change clutch but it tells you how to get the engine out as well to replace clutch, take the engine out..... remove battery first, intercooler (and mounts), radiator, header tank, carbon canister (plastic canister on the drivers side front) remove the mount too, air box and starter motor. fuel pipes and thin boost controll pipes. once the intercooler is out of the way, get some WD40 and spray it along the joint between the engine and gearbox (sometimes it can be tightly stuck together) so doing this now will give it time to soak in. also spray the exhaust downpipe nut and bolts liberaly and then undo them. remove alternator belt and then the alternator. there are 3 bolts behind the PAS pump pulley... undo those then follow the pipes over the manifold and you'll see 2 10mm bolts securing them to the manifold, undo those. lift the PAS pump out of the way and tuck it over to where the air box used to be. now undo the 3 bolts that fix the PAS pump mount to the block and remove it. look to where the battery was and you'll se 2 plugs with loads of wires, split the plugs and then undo the 10mm bolt that fixes the plug mount to the body. if your car has air con, there are 4 14mm bolts securing the pump mount to the block, undo those and move the pump over to where the battery used to be. you will need to rotate the pump as you move it so it rests upside down otherwise it wont go. remove the spring thats ontop of the gearbox. As you look at the side of the gearbox where the starter was, you'll see a large allen keyed plug (10mm) remove that plug. find a bolt that is about 3 inches long, or more, but has the same size thread as one of the cambelt cover bolts (u can use a cambelt cover bolt but try not to bend it)... behind the bung is a shaft that the clutch fork pivots on.... in the end of the shaft is a threaded hole... screw the thin bolt into it and pull the clutch shaft out (may be a tad tight). once you have it out, get hold of the clutch fork and lift it upwards to disengage it from the release bearing. now you are set to remove the engine mount bolts and bell housing bolts. there are 2 14mm nuts on the bottom of the bell housing and 3or 4 14mm bolts up the sides and top. I fix a chain to one of the bolt holes where the PAS pump mount was and the other end of the chain to block near to where the starter was. you may need to remove the throttle body or the idle controll valve to prevent damage when the chain tightens. as you lift the engine, use a jack and a block of wood under the gearbox and lift it up with the engine (about 2-3 inches). once the engine is out the gearbox will rest on the cross member once the jack is removed. remeber to lift the gearbox up again before you refit the engine. (makes life easier)

i was under the impression that we drove on the left and used lanes to the right for overtaking then at the earlyest oputunity you were suposed to get back into the left hand lane oph by the way its only illegal to overtake on the left if you deliberatly change lane with the aim of "undertaking" if your already in the lane to start off with its not illegal

starting to suspect sabotage cant see this many things going wrong over this amount of time would realy like to see the hawkeye win a world rally

http://www.wrc.com/jsp/index.jsp?lnk=101&a...ops%20on%20SS19 Petter has stoped on ss19 dont think his luck will be in for a in in this shaped car

as above 3 scoobs one blue with devon scoobies in the window UFN i was in my oil burner (red pug 206) with the missus and Bairn thaught it was probably a smally get together hope you had a good day guys i know i did

Hi guys having problem with a Media player i baught it not realising it didnt play MP4's which i have quite a few files on it however it does playt the AVI files on it iv tried win avi to convert the files from MP4 to AVI but oi lose all the sound can anyone help me iv heard i may be able to do somthing to the media player but not sure what if anyone has any ideas what software will convert il be happy to take your sugestions

well it had to happen petter had a transmission failure and had to retire and go to super rally rules for points (14th pos) Chris is second over a minute behind and a minute in front of 3rd so i think he wont press just sit in second probably under orders but who knows id like to see him push though be nice to see a win dont think they ever will ever win a wrc round in this car

thats the cookie

LOL their is a micra near me (mansfield notts) that did almost the same lol it was way quicker than my classic but i didnt feel so bad when i heard that its realy well known around these parts and that he has spent over 40K on it thats twice the cost of mine when it was new lol

Dave channel did say subaru were going to make the decision in April as to when to when the WRC car will make its first debute but (cant remember the drivers name) last years winner in the new shaped scoob was going to be passing info back to prodrive after the rally and two weeks ago in Motorsport news the new scoob had already won a rally forgot and did notice thought that with the next rally (Mexico) has some very high altitude stages of which only the impreza engine is suited for some reason it doesnt lose as much powere with the thin air as the others

am looking at peugeot 206 2.0L HDI diesel range i want a turbo can anyone shed light if all the 2.0L HDI's are all turbo's as a friend said they were but couldnt be a hundred persent i cant seem to find anything on this subject anywhere?

thanks i will take a look for them if you have any links it would be most apreciated im of snowboarding on the 19th january at the moment for a week (moor like a p**s up lol) so im trying to get my rig sorted out i usualy just go to the indoor slope at leeds its my 1st time on a real slope with the board but iv been boarding for the last 5yrs and i ski'd befor that i too suffer from a numb front foot but i thaught that was a combination of a tight binding (mine are burton's) and my weight over the front foot i have quite a healthydegree of angle on my front foot back foot isnt that much of a angle i loose alot of my control when i adjust the back foot i have size 12 feet and even with a wide board i do end up with a slight overhang and it does somtimes catch and throw/make me wobble at high speed any positive remarks would be apretiated guys

i believe you have individual coilpacks one on the back of each spark plugg You need to go down the side of the engine take the air box out the way (drivers side) and you will see two wires going down the side of engine over the cam cover onto a black piece of plastic with a 10mm bolt head (off the top of my head may be 12mm) that is your coilpacks hope this helps

PMSL i used to ski but now iv gone over to the Dark side LOL

just wanted to ask a few questions to any snowboarder's amongst us iv been snowboarding a while and a friend was telling me of somthing he called a "powerflex bush" that goes between binding and board it gives alot moor power in your foot when carving but most of all (which would help me) it gives moor clearence off the board i already have a "wide board" with the size of my feet but my toes still hang over the edge does any one know what these spacers might be called iv searched for everything and come up blank ?

sorry guys have to remember for next time

as title but Atkinson and xavie are both out http://www.swrt.com/
