Have fun guys, and make sure the camera's are out to capture the "subar couple" in full uniform

Still wish we were going

But will be back and see y'all soon

 

Thank you for your kind thoughts Glenn. What are you and your curbed wheels doing on the 11th October? (Co-incidentally the date for the next East Sussex meet).

 

BTTT

 

bttt
and will be meeting you at the pub, rather than travel to eastbourne and then all the way back again. Also with me shuld be other half (no doubt she';ll wanna drive mine again) and DAve in his red my03, and another friend of mine who owns a renault 11 turbo and has never been to a scoobymeet

see you all there.

Paul

 

Curbed wheels....CURBED FECKING WHEELS....not mine sir

Hope the meet went well....and please NOT the 11th, I have a nice new car to show off, but am playing golf all day that day defending a title I won last year, so PLEASE...PLEASE....move the meet date ?

 

Thanks to Keith and Dave at Gatwick Subaru for tth drive in the STI8 and organising the day. Great to do something different

 

Yes a big thanks to Keith and Dave.

But not for the drive in the STi 8 which has caused domestic hell in the household

Hopefully those who had suspension work done are happy with their cars?

Nathan..

 

Enjoyed the meet today, good to see everyone again. Thanks to Kieth and Julia for arranging a different type of meet. Would be good if people can post up there thoughts on the products available, as I could,nt stay long..

Sorry for having to leave early, but if Paige had missed her party she`d of sulked for days...

Looking forward to the next meet, and the car WILL be clean.

 

Thanks for the kind words guys. We had fourteen cars turn up, and kits were fitted to four - and none came off again!!!!! Hopefully you guys will post up your thoughts - all I saw were smiles!

Our thanks to Subarman for popping in to help tighten up various nuts and bolts.

Our grateful thanks to Dave (Gatwick Subaru) for coming in to organise things, even though he was recovering from an accident.

To Mike and Gareth (Gatwick Subaru) for working non-stop to keep cars on and off the ramps and out testing. These guys (and Dave) are real enthusiasts and i think it showed today in their willingness to chat and offer advice, and their attention to detail with respect to individual requirements.

Thanks to Ben (Operations Director) for the use of the television/video and "changing area"!!!!!!

Yes, it was good to have "a meeting with a difference" and to see Subarman in all his glory (any pictures Jason?)

 

Big thanks to all for setting this one up...

And a Big thanks to Gatwick Subaru for setting my car up...

Had a very spirited drive back to home..
'CORNER' !!!! What Corner ???
'ROUNDABOUT' !!!!! Was there ????? I thought it was just a kink left/right/left

 

still gutted I missed this one..

what'd you have done/fitted then Scott / everyone???

Steve

 

Glenn

Two reasons for the 11th - the "wheel repair man" is coming that day in the morning, and the Gatwick Subaru guys want to come in the afternoon to "follow up" on yesterdays modifications - to discuss with the drivers and tweak anything that wants adjusting, and get feedback.

Having said that, there is no reason why we can't have an EastSussexScoobies "Weekend", and do something on the Sunday? Waddya say?

Hopefully there will also be an EastSussexScoobies website coming our way in the near future - watch this space (or a similar space somewhere else)!!!!!!!!

Better just point out that if there had been an award for the exhaust with the most BLING, then Jason would have won it. He would also have won the award in the "shiniest roofbars" category, I'm sure!

 

My thanks as well for such a great day.
The handling is fantastic. I just can't imgaine how much better it could get, seeing as i've still got original suspension and only 1 strut brace. Its made driving the car a whole new experience agai just like when i first got it



oops, i'm still smiling. It was good to see subarman too, i think ???

 

A big thanks to Keith & Dave for yesterday, what a good day.

I had a very big smile on my way home yesterday and still have it plastered across my face, indeed Scott, what corner

 

Keith, no worries m8...glad yesterday went so well.

Sounds like the 11th will be rocking too....as per your conversation with C today, happy with an evening meet...perhaps in the week of 6th - 10th ?

G

 

 

LMFAO N...nice one....any more ?!?

 

Very good Nathan!!!! Now where's Jason got to?

Some of you may not have realised that Dave and Mike are going to come over on the 11th to discuss the results of yesterday, and perform any tweaks, and just generally catch up. They had such a good time yesterday that they want to see us all again!!!!

 

as to the "any more pics?"

Thats not anyones Q to post the hangbag one up!

 

Steve,

Whiteline rear Anti-roll bar, rear drop links and a Carlos Fandango Laser Wheel alignment to dial out whatever understeer was left after the above was fitted.

P.S I've been 'blinging' my pipe too this arvo

 

Nathan, great pic. LOL

 

All

Wow. I 2nd, 3rd, 4th all the comments about the Gatwick Subaru guys. Hats off to Dave, Mike and Garrfy and thank you very much.

All classic owners (or new age) do the rear anti-roll bar/drop link mod! It transforms the car. My observations...

a) The Scoob turns in faster
b) The steering is much more postive
c) Understeer has vanished
d) Higher speed in, through, and out of a corner is a breeze

The best moment I've had so far was with Dave after the 'Geo' has been reset. Coming back to the workshop, full throtle in 3rd, going around the left had bend by the Chailey Hospice ... the front end just stuck to the road and the car kept accelerating. It felt fast, controlled and safe.

Pictures will be up later today. Including 'blingy-est' exhaust!

Scott, did you get hold of Keith ?

Keith (or any1 that was there at the weekend), who is the guy in the middle kneeling down....looks like someone I went to school with !!!! Dave P - can anyone confirm ?

Apologies if I've missed this bit, but what sort of money was the kit fully fitted ?

 

hI Jason

Tried to mail you but the message was returned.

Yes please - unzipped preferable.

Excellent snaps Mr Bling!

 

Excellent pics Jason

 

Glen

That's Mike Rice in the middle of the picture. Senior Mechanic (I think) at Subaru Gatwick.

Rear kit (anti-roll bar/drop links and a special bracket that I've got and nobody else has ) £185. That's parts +VAT -discount. Fitting was free, as that was part of the day. I'm sure somoeone has got the full price list .... anyone?

Keith ... strange that the e-mail bounced. I'll send them over a few at a time.
