Aaah I can see them now! But the only differences I can see are the roof vent and the wheels!

Must confess I don't know that much about the JDM models - what's the difference between a type-r and a type-r v-limited???

Coming out to play tonight????

Steve

 

Bryn - what wheels are on your current car? Are they 17's? If they are and you decide to trade it in against the new one do you fancy doing a deal on the wheels? Swap yours for mine plus some cash???

 

Now then ScoobyNew, the wheels on my car are 17" OZ Super T replicas, they were sold to me as OZ but I later found out only one of them is original, you can't tell unless you scrutinise though and they all have new OZ badges on.

A Type R is a 2 door variant of the STI, with a central driver controlled variable diff-lock, STI blueprinted redtop engine, short shift close ratio gearbox, stiffer supsension and tinted rear windows...phew!

The V-LTD is the same but an anniversary model with added roof vent, there are only 1000 made in any year.

And no, I'm afraid I'm gigging in Walsall tonight...bummer!

 

I see!! Does it have lightened panels and less interior goodies? Probably a bit of a muppety question here but what is the purpose of the roof vent???

So do you fancy a "wheel deal"???

Steve

 

Pum: Can't make Saturday night as I'm at work (just don't phone for an Ambulance - cos you know who'll turn up )

 

Morning all steve sorry did not check my phone til 11:30pm did you have fun and how you sorted for sat night ?
Housequake covers are looking good will ring you saturday morning.
Ads how are you and the misses?

 

Wouldn't you know it...just got me loan sorted and then skids on ice coming to work...turns corner and car slowly carries on into kerb.

Can't see any damage and not sure yet if there is any, trying to get it into a MOT place to check the underneath.

Steve, if my car's OK and I do end up trading it on Sunday, the guy has aleady seen the car and knows what's on it.

PUM, glad to hear they're looking good, I'll post back when I know something.

****!

 

Mornin all!!!

Bryn - ooooops, hope everything is OK mate. If not Pum will sort it out for you with his toolkit

Pumster - are you getting a taxi sat nite and picking Ads up? If you are do you fancy swinging by my place on the way into town and picking me up too???

The car parks weren't as good last night

 

Karl - where did you see those cheap STi5 spoilers???

 

Steve i will sort out a taxi to pick me up at say 7:20pm and then ads and your's is there just you m8 or is debbs out as well or is baby sitting, where's ads today dont tell me he's too busy looking for a wing

got all my shiny new stuff-clutch and headers etc >>>>

cant wait for monday night!!
ads...ands his slipping clutch

 

PFF7s arrived, fitted with 225/40/Z18 GSD3s this morning. Wow so much better than the RE040s, I don't have to hold the steering wheel with my teeth anymore, and the ride is better despite the size increase. See you all Thurs week. D.

 

Dick - glad you got sorted with the wheels. Where did you get the tyres from in the end? If you don't mind me asking, how much has it cost you all together?

Ads - you getting your clutch and headers done on Monday then?

Have you seen John Felstead's car is for sale? It's a peach. If I had a buyer lined up for mine I'd have it off him right now!!! Bryn - it might be of interest to you mate seeing as you're looking at changing.

So who's actually coming Saturday night apart from me, Pum and Ads???

Steve

 

Looks like there's no damage thank ****! It was the tow ring that connected and the kerb wasn't that high, nothing has bent out of shape and the car still drives without pulling to one side or the other.

Missed the car I was looking at, it went this aft!

Anyways, hope you three have a gud neet, I would come as it's my birthday if I wasn't working, have a couple o'sherberts for me!

PUM, might see you tomorow m8?

 

Brynie got a new car for his birthday after all!!!

 

 

Steve Ads are you ready ????? ok bring on the beer!!!!
se you two tonight got a taxi sorted for 7:15pm will pick you two up on the way.
bryn will call you this morning.

 

Hi all

Got a bumper sorted picking it up on tuesday from york.
only 70quid which i thought was quite good its got no fogs though.

So pum might need to borrow your spraying skills if thats ok.

Enjoy your night out those of you who are going out.

Ben

 

I'M A HAPPY CAMPER!!! Gotta say massive big thanks to the Pumster; m8 you have done a fookin brilliant job of my foglamp covers. Guys, he's done a better spray job in his shed than the Autosprayers who did my spoiler did in their unit (Will sort you out with some Mr.Daniels at the next meet Steve).

Also glad to have my car looked at by Big John and verify nothing bent and no damage.

Only miffed that I can't join you in baby head wetting, have a good one and my regards to the little one!

 

housequake and all....

if truth be know its his wife who does all the technical stuff...pumsters a bit girlie!..ie she sprays and he bakes.

Steve,

£860 for 4 PFF7s, £27.36 Delivery, Tyres from Savoy £512 all in (Black circles quoted £540). Total £1399.36, worth every penny the car feels really smooth and straight, it doesn't jink about under power anymore (at all!), the ride is a lot better, they're quieter, and last but by no means least there's a hell of a lot more grip. Don't know much about other tyres but I think the F1 GSD3s are brilliant. D.
P.S. The rims look GORGEOUS!!!!!

 

Mornin!

Ads/Pum - how were your heads yesterday? Mine was surprisingly OK considering I drank too many pints of kn0bhead (and then turned into one )

Dick - sounds like it was money well spent mate

Just me and The Pumster to get some alloys sorted now then......!!

Steve

 

Hey PUM, here's your handywork. I think they're the mutts nuts and I'm well chuffed, you don't wanna respray my spoiler do you? (Only joking...or am I)

Karl, where did you get thoses blueprint disks from?
