<< Cannot Wait M8 Be Good To see You Guy's Again Please Can You be at the Circuit by 1pm For the Draw of the Drivers / Teams Please!! Tiny.. >> Better leave at 12.55 then...lol see you sunday ps might bring the rally car..

The ecu has got a piggy back board installed to run a second map, but it was a JAP map. So with the excellent advise from POWER ENGINEERING we purchased a new chipset which converted the ecu from a U8 to a Z4plus ( the plus being a bit more fuelling in the mid and upper rev range). It is now running comfortably at about 1 bar.. (261 bhp 246lbft torq) The car feels much better , pulls harder, feels smoother, an allround improvement. POWER ENGINEERING also have done us a cracking deal on a full decat exhaust , which will be going on very soon, (heat wrapped down pipe). Chris has advised us to try and find an STI 5 intercooler, so if anyone hears/knows anyone with one for sale , please let me know...(or contact PELE). Once the exhaust is on, another remap will be required which will take us to 1.2bar and approx 280ish bhp Next on the list to do is clean up all of the interior floor area and boot so we can install the rollcage and prepare the interior for painting. I will be taking some photos of all the stuff for sale and posting it at the weekend...so keep an eye out if you want any interior bits etc. Once again a VERY BIG thank you to the boys at POWER ENGINEERING for a cracking service and a great deal. We will be advertising their services on the car when we are finally all prepared. J-K and Arron

Tiny...dont forget your neck brace for sunday....in the kitty litter for you matey...lol

Rear STI 4 spoiler now fitted..looks miles better. 4 Pots on and Pagid pads installed..(thanks pele/lee for the pads) New Aluminium header tank fitted (from a 22b)....old one was leaking before you ask. Rear seat, parcel shelf , rear seat belts and all carpets removed. Stereo, cd changer, and Digital sound processor also removed. Wanted to fit the coilovers but ran out of time today.. All of that as well as a visit to Colchester to pick up some bits (Thanks 22B Andy good to meet you) Will get some more piccys sorted soon.. j-k and Arron.

Good luck for tomorrow richard....

<< G'day M8, Please let me know what you want for the wind deflecters.They may fit Rocket (white STI Wagon)b.t.w. he's feeling a lot better now seems to have shaken off his cold and is breathing a lot better now,amazing what a spray of carb cleaner in the air mass meter can do. Cheers, Pete & Rocket. SOME DAYS ITS JUST NOT WORTH CHEWING THROUGH THE RESTRAINTS!!!!!!! >> Sorry matey...wind deflectors have already been accounted for...

<< did i see that car in the scooby net for sale section a little while back? Good luck j-k and arron and welcome j-k and welcome back arron to the bottomless money pit of motorsport! (Make an accurate budget then double it!). Seriously i hope it all goes well for you. I know the cars are very different and Arron knows his stuff but if you need another car to look at for an example of installation of cage, cut-out, fx etc let me know and i can bring the beemer along if it's useful. Also Eta Motorsport that put the cage in for my bm only charged £150 for fitting the cage (WRX could well be more) and is in Gravesend - can give you details if you're not doing this yourselves? They're BMW race specialists, not Impreza rally but could be useful to you? cheers, Richard PS would you be interested in talking about tow cars and trailers? >> Richard...hi mate, No the car wasnt for sale on scoobynet as far as i know... Thanks for the info on the cage...might be of some use as we have just ordered it.. As far as tow cars etc go, my van is well equiped to tow a trailer, but we will probably only be hiring one to begin with(about £45 for the weekend??) Probably see you at the RR day at PE??? jon

Yep, 4 pots are on , just got back from Arrons.... Thanks for the offer Mark..much appreciated, and may take you up on that in the future... cheers jon

yep

<< yours was a bespoke custom ian one off LOL >> Oooooooh really.....lol My car is on the drive all day if u are in a rush??? If not i may be home early enough tuesday or wednesday late afternoon 5ish Any good??

Wot was wrong with the one you cut out when you did my car then??????????????????? Throw it away by mistake?? lol jk

Other stuff coming off the car.. Interior..ie seats , carpets, roof lining , seat belts and steering wheel. Exterior.. Wheels (poss for sale) , and wind deflectors. Parts required.. 4 pots and discs, Mid level rear spoiler(preferably red), quick shift. We will obviously have to purchase a Roll Cage, competition seats and harnesses unless we can get a sponsor to help us out in some way.. Any help gratefully received.. jon and Arron

<< Is that Orangutan from 'Every which way but loose' still available? >> Yes mate....LEE did say he would help out where possible....lol Thanks once again for the fuel pump Hol... jon

<< U could always donate it to the KentScoobies rally car... >> you most certainly could...we need one of these (i think). Bring it with you on friday (if you are coming) and we will bargain hard...lol If Arron does the bargaining, you will end up giving us money to take it away...lol
