<< What an persuade me into buying another overpriced car off them ???? hold on ....................................................................................................... emm there that bad they nearly pushed me to the dark side so i thinks NOT Twssers >> You think their bad - should try a certain Misti dealer not a million miles away from you, total joke IMO John.

Just so happens that said " New Salesman " is a friend of Grants also John.

Thomo, aaaarrrrggghhhh close call mate. Any word on the PPP thingy yet? John.

<< IIRC it was after a Blaeberry meet and some muppet threads from the usual drunken bums. AND PRIVATE PMs, which I have not forgotten about. We will meet soon my friend SIDC team came up with the idea of this and everyone moved house. Job done. I you were talkin about another revolution, then sorry for my rant as I was just reviewing some old e-mails/ PMs ...John >> When when having another one of them You still never named and shamed the PM's John.

Nope then new salesman doesn't wear glasses, and yup he does have a Blitz'd up 03STi that is V loud. John.

Big changes ahead from what I hear, not just the new showroom, theres a new sales guy ( genuine enthuast John.

<< 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. >> Thomo, soz for the delay matey, there is an unofficial recall on any car with AVCS ( basically the STi's ) there are oil control valves on top off the cylinder heads there are bolts on these that need to be checked for torque settings, so far there are no reported problems on UK cars but there has been some JDM cars with leaks and rumour has it that several went on fire. It only takes about 1/2 hr and should be checked when they have the car in. From what I hear the dealers are not actually asking you to bring your car in to be checked thay are only doing it at the next service interval, personnally I found this a bit disconcerting due to the possibility of the outcome. Hope your mapping has been sorted. John.

Aaarrgghh, this sounds really good but I think I've used up all my boy's weekend tokens for next year already, Northwest 200/Ulster GP/Tour of Mull rally With Junior coming along soon don't think I could push a fourth John.

Great day out, nice to put some faces to the names. Big shout for Spooks and Rose for doing all the organising and a big thanks to the guys at Dastek for putting up with all of us. Highlights of the day - getting 270 out of a standard UK STi Ricey trying his hardest to deafen everybody in a ten mile radius Spooks shooting some nice flames on his run. Low points - the Mrs is adamant that I need a Blitz NUR Spec - thanks Ricey John.

WAKEY WAKEY time to go to Dastek John

<< Robertio, Possibly mate. I've something on that day so I'll need to see if I can bodyswerve it first. ...John >> That'll be one big bodyswerve but I'm sure you'll manage it John.

Only problem is, I've now got that horrible track day bug "again" I'll just have to behave myself and stick to my guns of not putting it on the track. Not surprised you've got bits missing the way you were throwing it about hope the new Geom settings are working. John.

<< SS-R is just an any-marque Scottish car club. The letters don't stand for anything anymore - their meaning was dropped a couple of years ago. >> Sounds like a re-hash of the Modified Car Club John.

you even took a piccy of mine http://www.urbanracing.co.uk/events/kh231004/082.jpg John.

Great day. big thanks to John (firestarter) for the Pax laps in the EVO and the his idea of fun... lets see if we can clip the marker cones The Ultima on fire at the hairpin was a bit worrying, especially when we were coming down the railway straight and all we could see were the flames leaping out the back of it. The Skyline nuff said Anybody know what happened to the Quattro???? sounded like it was having wastegate problems chirpping all the way up the straight.

ooopppsss scratch the previous post should be home John.

Might be a bit too early for me and Mrs, probably see you up there. John.

Aaarrgggghhhh, think I'll be offshore for this

Any update on a meeting place big guy? John
