Mum and Dad took me to the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Granite City rally in 1998 (or 99) and Subaru had a stand there,My dad asked the guy if I could sit in the rally car (think it was a replica rather than the real McRae) Managed to get into it and thats how it all started.[] Then it got even better the DADDY of all Scoobs [] and it was brand new !!!! [] [] <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> And so the story begins My Lovely 1.6 And the latest Pete

Cheers for all the comments guys. Jimser yup it has been sprayed as it was originally silver but only prob was that it was 2 different shades, Always wanted a black car though Dale Cars running so well noo (better not speak too soon though [:-*] ) Pete

Cheers Guys I took the pics with my new Nokia N95 Nae bad pics for a phone eh Pete

Neil There are 2 types of emmision tests that they do.Not sure what the differences are but Im sure some of the guys will let you know. Pete

After all the bl**dy rain lately (and of course getting her running properly) it was such a nice night I thought I would go for a drive around the Dyce backroads and take some pics Pete " mce_src=""> " mce_src=""> " mce_src=""> " mce_src="">

I have a 94 plate import and it has no cats.I was told that pre 94 imports do not need cats but they must pass the emmision test, It went through the MOT no probs Hope this helps Pete

Would def be interested (if I have the pennies saved) how mich would you be looking for it Cheers Pete

Guys thanks for all the great replies, I did forget to mention that I have a Z4 ecu fitted.[:$] Grant. Thanks for all your help,I have taken your advice on the injectors and have put on the standard ones,after I refitted them it was still running like it had a missfire so removed the plugs and gave them a clean,started her up and she was idleing perfect but then the CEL came on [:S],checked for fault codes and it came up 22 which is the Knock sensor,had a look about and the wiring to the sensor was bare from what looked like a previous badly done solder job (slowly going from bad to worse [:@]) I cut the wire,recrimped it then checked for faults again,Success all well now,started her up and now she,s idleing perfect and driving better than before. Dont suppose the dodgy wiring had any thing to do with initial problem would it?? (although CEL didnt come on before) Anyway I suppose I need to start saving for the new ECU to allow me to fit the new injectors,so now I need advice on what is the best one to get.APEXI etc,etc Thanks again guys for all your help Pete

Tried 2.2 as per his Furrieness and 3 bar but car is misfiring like running on 3 cylinders. Any clues chaps? Pete

I have just fitted my new 550 injectors, walbro pump and SARD regulator and was wondering what I should set the regulator at ??. Cheers Pete

Welcome mate,nice car love the grills and black is best Pete

Right this will sort em [] " mce_src=""> Only joking Cut down the new one to the exact legal requirements,I know it will restrict the air but after what i have just been through bo**ocks. I think Ill do what stephen suggested [] " align=left mce_src="">

No Quibbles either! Upshot from the plod is that as long as the lettering measures 46mm with 10mm reflective border round the outside then plate is legal . This means I can cut the larger one to size. Pete

Just been into Autosave and got a new number plate and £30 for the fine. Can't do much better than that eh?
