Thats not a 'bog-standard' backbox ... you rogue [] Al

As well as keeping heat out of other areas , as Gumball said. Keeping heat in exhaust is a good thing as hot gasses are more 'fluid' at high temps and flow better/faster = power. Wrapping headers , uppipe and downpipe is recommended - but a pig of a job if they are still on the car , better to remove them to wrap them. HTH Al.

Great night , well done Peter ! Good to meet some familiar faces including the Greersport team and Wullie from Meercat .. . and a few new faces I could put to names at last , MC-Squirrel did a grand job with the raffle (although he didn't win the prize he was after,he did win a good prize ) I even won something Thanks must go to all who donated prizes . I'm sure Peter will be posting the prizewinners and total raised soon . Al.

There are some real motoring-mingers here : http://www.topgear.com/content/timetoburn/...age/pages/0463/ Al

Great result G - well done [Y] Al.

That'll be a 'bravo-bravo-quebec' then ... I'm getting right into this [] Al

C U soon 'Golf-Bravo' lol Al.

Found out that the '2-3 day delivery' for the Samco is ..... after they make it to order - approx 28 days [:@] and my STI5 intercooler has still not arrived [] Looks like I'll be visiting Andy on Monday to get map tweaked for my APS CAK, and again when I get my cooler and pipes [:|] Al.

Don't worry G Bob Geldof will organise a concert in the park across the road if you start looking too thin [] Al.

Aye , Big Hampster Power that is . . . Don't let Gumball see this [] Al.

'True-grip' feature car ? perhaps ? Al.

I saw your car when I was in yesterday mate [Y] I was just recommending Greersport ,on my thread about my bladeless turbo !, when I saw this thread [] Al.

By design , the intercooler acts like a seive so all the tiny bits ended up trapped there. The light coating of oil from the breathers helps the bits stick . 'Cooler and pipework are now binned - but as a wise Chinaman (Fai 17) once said 'if its broke - upgrade it' . . . . . . . So I'm awaiting a STI5 cooler and some pretty Samco hose and y-piece arriving .[] - not happy though 'cos they should have arrived yesterday , I was hoping to have it all fitted for Andy tweaking my map on Monday [:@] Big Thank-you to Greersport http://www.greersport.com/ for lending me an intercooler 'till mine arrives [Y] Al.

Another 04 ... ahem [] And a couple of other things [6] Al.

http://www.scoobymag.com/ is a good read . Not many stockists up here though . Best to get a subscription. Edit - just noticed you are in Perth , AWD are on the list of stockists [] Al.

On a similar vein here's some funny insurance claims I've found :- "I was driving along when I saw two kangaroos copulating in the middle of the road causing me to ejaculate throught the sun roof." "The accident happened because I had one eye on the lorry in front, one eye on the pedestrian and the other on the car behind." "I started to slow down but the traffic was more stationary than I thought." "I pulled into a lay-by with smoke coming from under the hood. I realised the car was on fire so took my dog and smothered it with a blanket." Q: Could either driver have done anything to avoid the accident? A: Travelled by bus? The claimant had collided with a cow. The questions and answers on the claim form were - Q: What warning was given by you? A: Horn. Q: What warning was given by the other party? A: Moo. "I started to turn and it was at this point I noticed a camel and an elephant tethered at the verge. This distraction caused me to lose concentration and hit a bollard." "On approach to the traffic lights the car in front suddenly broke." "I was going at about 70 or 80 mph when my girlfriend on the pillion reached over and grabbed my testicles so I lost control." "I didn't think the speed limit applied after midnight" "I knew the dog was possessive about the car but I would not have asked her to drive it if I had thought there was any risk." Q: Do you engage in motorcycling, hunting or any other pastimes of a hazardous nature? A: "I Watch the Lottery Show and listen to Terry Wogan." "First car stopped suddenly, second car hit first car and a haggis ran into the rear of second car." "Windscreen broken. Cause unknown. Probably Voodoo." "The car in front hit the pedestrian but he got up so I hit him again" "I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law and headed over the embankment." "The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intention." "I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way" "A truck backed through my windshield into my wife's face" "A pedestrian hit me and went under my car" "In an attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole." "I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way home. As I reached an intersection a hedge sprang up obscuring my vision and I did not see the other car." "I was on my way to the doctor with rear end trouble when my universal joint gave way causing me to have an accident." "An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car and vanished." "I was thrown from the car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows." "Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have." "I thought my window was down, but I found it was up when I put my head through it." "The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him." "I had been driving for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident." "As I approached an intersection a sign suddenly appeared in a place where no stop sign had ever appeared before." "To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front I struck a pedestrian." "My car was legally parked as it backed into another vehicle." "I told the police that I was not injured, but on removing my hat found that I had a fractured skull." "I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him." "The pedestrian had no idea which way to run as I ran over him." "I saw a slow moving, sad faced old gentleman as he bounced off the roof of my car." "The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth." "The telephone pole was approaching. I was attempting to swerve out of the way when I struck the front end." "The gentleman behind me struck me on the backside. He then went to rest in a bush with just his rear end showing. " "I had been learning to drive with power steering. I turned the wheel to what I thought was enough and found myself in a different direction going the opposite way." "I was backing my car out of the driveway in the usual manner, when it was struck by the other car in the same place it had been struck several times before." "When I saw I could not avoid a collision I stepped on the gas and crashed into the other car." "The accident happened when the right front door of a car came round the corner without giving a signal." "No one was to blame for the accident but it would never have happened if the other driver had been alert." "I was unable to stop in time and my car crashed into the other vehicle. The driver and passengers then left immediately for a vacation with injuries." "The pedestrian ran for the pavement, but I got him." "I saw her look at me twice. She appeared to be making slow progress when we met on impact." "The accident occurred when I was attempting to bring my car out of a skid by steering it into the other vehicle." "My car got hit by a submarine." (The Navy informed the wife of a submariner that the craft was due in port. She drove to the base to meet her husband and parked at the end of the slip where the sub was to berth. An inexperienced ensign was conning the sub and it rammed the end of the slip, breaking a section away, causing her car to fall into the water. The Navy paid the compensation claim. Al.
