Very sorry to hear that mate. Unbelievable bad luck. Hope you get sorted soon

Owner's 82 years old...........wtf lol That's one quick banana!!!!!!!!

Agree with above, optimax and booster if it's not been mapped, optimax if it has. Yes all sti's of that age are imports, whether that's what they were imported as is another matter. From what I've seen and heard the paperwork isn't always correct!!!!!! You could ring a dealer and give them the chassis no. If they sh!t a brick and tell you where to go then it's probably an import lol[] Otherwise red top engine would be a start.

Looked like the sti was hardly moving when they cut to it!!!!lol. Love the hairpin[][]. Nice vid

Yep, just thinking Andy F's the man. If you don't know www.andyforrestperfomance.co.uk

Here you go http://forums.sidc.co.uk/forums/585381/ShowPost.aspx Electron proportional in-car adjustment.........wtf!![]lol

Quite a beastie, does it sound/work ok? Back with some info on engine cleaning bits shortly...

pmsl. When's part three coming out?

Fame at last!!!![] Remember the truck too, they seemed to be enjoying the show, put their orange lights on iirc[Y]. Nice one Ian

Remember having someone being not too pleased with me for overtaking them once (they were doing 40 in a 60). This then led to me driving bang on the speed limit, apart from roundabouts, i took those especially slowly cos I dont like them (not!!![]). At this pont I'd like to add that the 40ton 18wheeler that mr f**kwit had also cut up was now frimly glued to his rear bumper. Then we joined the motorway. Bye.................................(and by the looks of it the truck had better acceleration then he did[])

Was going the MDF route, but had just been paid so was lazy and went for the corsa spacers instead. Managed to get Alpine SPR 17LS in there. Possibly the biggest/heaviest 6.5 inch speaker I've seen[]

Only thing with the CD2 is to do it in the open!!!! Potent stuff. I went for a drive first so the engine was warm then just hosed off the grime avoiding obvious electrical bits like fuse box and alternator etc, didn't powerwash, hose was sufficient. Jury's out on the spray on laquer, to me looks just as good without. Tyre blackener spray is good on the hoses as well[Y]

Yep, got mine back now[][] Seat is about the easiest one I have ever taken out!!!! Two bolts at the front, then there's a metal loop on the bottom of the seat that goes under a hook at the back, out and in in 5 minutes. Once the seats out all becomes clear. My wires run just inside a black metal bracket. If you stick your hand up the back of the seat you'll feel like a rubber strip, then you're in the boot[]. To get through the bulk head stick your cable to a metal coat hanger with plenty of tape and there's a big grommet in the engine bay next to the passenger suspension turret. It'll come out just under your glovebox. Then you'll need a fuse near the battery, size dependant on the amps you're going to run[Y]

Will have a look for you. From memory it looked like they go under the plastic cover that covers the bottom of the seat and sill and I'm guessing it covers a metal frame, possibly with a few holes in? (Just tape any cable up when it passes through metal)Then they just feed under the vertical part of the back seat. Just realised I haven't got my bl**dy car so can't check for you!!!!

Scoop looks about the same size as the bonnet!!!!!!! Only car I've seen where the headlights are longer than the bonnet!!!!!!!!!!!![]Thanks for the offer lol. I used to run the speaker cable down either side of the car and the power and rca leads either side of the tunnel in the middle. But i did used to strip the car first. Didn't fancy doing that to the scoob now we are in the world of airbags and sensors everywhere. Mine have all been run down the passenger sill. No ill effects so far

Very nice mate, reflections definitely sharper after the autoglym. Looking at the roof tiles and chimney in the bonnet

Looking good mate. Wait til you see what you've got in the front doors[], look more like biscuits than speakers (well mine did). Two things I found, test each speaker as you put it in. Got my passenger side working, all back together, put in driver's side, all back together, turn on and .............nothing than realised windows weren't working either, started to panic a bit. Turns out the drivers side was touching the metal of the door!!!!!!!!!!! took it out and turned it round 60 deg and all works[Y] Now for the treally embarrassing bit ................ I'd managed to push the window kill switch while putting the door back togehter hence no windows[:$][:$] On a slightly different note (no pun intended) am starting to realise how much you must have missed your scoob when it was having work done, and how lucky you were to get a C4. Mine went in today. C1, service guy did apologise, and stressed several times that you can move the seats right back!!!!!! Unusual selling point. Nevertheless, I can touch the passenger window from the drivers seat (without leaning over), could probably get the rear window if I really tried and the bonnet I can easily tuck under one arm. Comedy.[] Hopefully they'll only have it for one day Meant to say I left my rear speakers in, just turned them off with the fader[Y]

A lot of the "polishes" you get in the shops contain a bit of wax for protection instead of being a pure polish (the idea is just to get the paint clean, remove swirls etc). A lot of the "waxes" you get in the shops also polish the paint and leave a thin layer of wax on top (the idea of a wax is just to leave a protective coat on your already clean paint). A sealant seems to be harder wearing than a pure wax so it would make sense to put a sealant on the polished paint then a coat of pure wax on last. If you put the wax on first then when it comes off it will take the sealant with it. Whether the meguiars stuff is a pure wax (no polishing properties) and can merely be laid on top of the extra gloss sealant and not polish through it is another question. All in all the only thing you may waste is a bit of time, worth a try in my book, see what happens

To be more precise http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/guides_protect.html If you can't be bothered to read all of it, most relevant bit starts under the pictures of the leon and integra. I believe the autoglym is classed as a synthetic sealant. Could be wrong tho'

Could try here mate, www.polishedbliss.co.uk have a look in the tips/guides section. Goes into what makes up different polishes, sealants, glazes, waxes etc and how they react with each other. A lot of reading, but quite informative

Very nice mate

Someone else had some vibration issues on here. Turned out that although the correct weight had been put on the wheel (say 30g) instead of using one 30g weight the garage had used 6x5g weights, causing some of the weight to be stuck in the wrong place, causing vibration.

Let my g/f take mine into work a couple of times. On one occasion she was baited by an MR2 speeding up, slowing down, speeding up going down a hill. She let it go. Only because she'd knocked her phone when she got in it which had rung her mate (a copper), who told her there was a speed trap at the bottom of the hill that morning. Fate/comedy call it what you will[] I just smile and let them go

Very nice mate, looks good particularly on a silver car.[Y]
