Classics are definatley different. Steve

I have a 95 sti and actually drove it today for the first time in ages.

How fantastic 2 have a motor that snaps driveshafts, now thats proper power

I'm running 550's on mine also uprated maf and of course the ebligitory Andy F remap. N reg STi, standard internals and box and no probs so far but sure it's stronger than a uk but if u don't hash the tits off it don't see why it wont last a month or 2 at least !

Excellent idea, gives us mere mortals a target to aim for ! Could we get this thread made a sticky so its easier to find ? Steve

Saw a nice clean tidy complete wagon needing head gasket for £600 a couple of weeks back !

Sport bonnet is the way forward. I have one as well as a despoilered boot and it looks the mutts nuts IMHO Although some may not agree but its good 2 be different.

Got it thursday for my 360 and absolutely luv it ! How'd you get the 6R4 and MK 2 though ? as i'm not that great at games in general but seem to win plenty and unlock loads but have never seen mention of them. Steve

Don't know off the top of my head but if your passing stow tomorrow you could have a look at mine as i work @ milburn garage. Steve

I've read plenty threads saying to avoid the ebay japanese ones and i run an andy f one which i have on a classic and its pretty good

Alyn at APS got me ferrodo ds2500's for my wilwood 6 pots but did involve me faxing a drawing of the pad and he had to order them in so took a few days.

Now THAT sounds like a fun day out

I'm thinking i should really have one and wondering are the cheap nasty looking ones on fleabay exactley that so is it worth shelling out for a decent one ? Any recomendations ? Steve

MK1 Fiesta 1.1 resprayed black, XR3 seats, spotlights and 12" wheels. There's been about another 30+ different motors between then and now and i wish i'd kept loads o them from mantas to M3 evo's

Well i'm still quite undecided as there's so many options, was even thinking matt black bonnet roof and boot but reckon it'd be a night mare 2 keep so maybe all white would be best but then there's more 2 polish Who knows but ones things for sure, it's gonna be different

Agreed after having the classic on track for the first time its definatley much more raw and a "drivers" car compared to the newage but it was nice to be able to go places in comfort and tbh i'm as happy driving about in my diesel focus estate everyday. If your buying a toy get a classic somebodys already spent a load on and drive it til the wheels come off

A great afternoon and both gf and daughter loved going out in the car but i think all those fast cars may have created a little girl racer in the making. Would be great if SIDC could do days for £50 including a burger but think we just have 2 be thankful we made the most of a good oppertunity Cheers to all @ autoecosse.

Anyone know what was in the saxo that was on in the afternoon as the grey M3 csl couldnae get past !!! Looked a bit ropey and had old school RS 4 spokes on it but went like feck

Just home from the afternoon session which was excellent, good selection of cars and managed to have my fun before the heavens opened. Roll on all the pics.

Funny that i went to a newage sti then an M3 evolution but back to a classic as the beemer just wasn't all that although a great car. Fmic helps but i think its the andy forrest 20g that gives it the extra big kick along with a map from himself of course, wasn't going mad on the twistys as i'd just fitted new pads and want to bed em in a bit before the morn @ knockhill. If you no planning major mods i wudnae worry about the box mines is still standard STi with 380 bhp running through it !

I like em plain and simple, hows about taking the spoiler off and painting the bonnet matt black Luv to see how it compares to mine ?

Strange seem to have seen a few good looking ugly bugs lately and i normally don't like silver cars either but thats v nice.

Haha indeed i was mate, i'll let u off for no chasing me seeing as ur box is knackered. If you get a box from thompsons they sould take it back if it doesn't fit. I thought they were all 4 bolts but the guys in there r pretty good and someone should know for sure. Motor looks good btw, my first scoob was a blue W reg wagon and thats what got me started

I'm heading up for the afternoon session with autoecosse as i'm working in the morning, got an hour slot booked for a measely £20 want to see how different my classic is compared to my old blobeye sti.

Thought u were rebuilding yours ? Have u tried S & I Thompsons ? Don't see what will be different if its from around the same age and spec and ratios are the same ? Steve
