Just paid £76 a corner for Toyos inc valve/balance, etc for 205/50/16's but did get a set of alloy nuts thrown in from the guys at Westgate Tyres in Morecambe

 

Guys, Cruise West Cumbria is being organised so that would be a great oppertunity for a meet.
cheers

I saw a post on Scoobynet where a white STi 8 had the new Prodrive spring kit fitted....looked like it was sitting at the height it was designed for....SMART

Midlife..


Small diversion re STi8...I was looking at one at SP's this week Black gold Mica. Stunning... ..buy me..buy me it was saying apart from the really shi**y (and I mean shi**y) looking bonnet stripe in red. I thought who the **** will buy a car with that sort of thing stuck on the bonnet.

I told Ian who quietly advised me that it was a red line they use to tell customes which side of the car has been Scotchguarded.

Bugger

Im picking up my springs tomorrow, and im arranging a trip to powerstation to have the kit fitted along with solid drop links and a bigger rear ARB and then a full set-up

I have not seen a piccy of a car with the kit fitted yet, fingers crossed it looks smart

From the picture of white STi 8 I remember seeing you will not be dissapointed it seems to be a long time coming but lookks sweet

Midlife...

Jamie (whitfield) "does / is doing" a similar thing to your STi8 for the "bugeye", about half way between Faster Mike's tyre scraping against the wheel arch and the Eibach's I have...tempted

 

Mark, just got your answer phone message about 7 hours after you left it (good old vodafone). i `ll give u a bell tomorrow as its a bit late now

Cheers

Midlife,
Was that you I saw this morning on hardwick circus I was in a hurry going to newcastle and just caught you out of the corner of my eye,also lord h on the way back home, and somebody in a green classic coming through the road works gave a quick wave dont know who it was tho?

 

gussy was it you near cockermouth .. thursday evening

steve

 

Hey Gussy

It could well have been me...I'm not a morning person and once fell asleep and drove into the oncoming traffic (Ford Escort DRH 401T written off).. very messsy

Do you know "Crack" who works at Sellafield ??

see thread

http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/thread.asp?threadid=253591

Where was I ?? Ahh.. Brakes !! is there any milage in getting braided hoses to sharpen up the brake pedal. The ABS seems to cut in pretty early especially during the "circuit of Roundabout Junction 44"

Midlife.....

 

a crack at sellafield

i am moving ..


steve

 

No it wasnt me steve there is another 02 which is nearly the same knocking about same sunstrip.Might have a new recruit to the cumbria scoobs an old mate of mine phoned the wife at work the other day trying to get in touch with me to let me know he is now a proud scooby owner complained a bit about fuel consumption the wife told him it comes with the territory.

 

Brakes !! is there any milage in getting braided hoses

yes .. defo midlife..

what discs / brakes u got

steve

 

Midlife,
Iv seen him post on here befor but I dont know him mind you there are quite a lot of scoobs at sellafield now

 

Steve

As for brakes just the standard MY02 car..starting to realise that after decat, eibachs, Tek2 etc that I might need to stop as well as go

I thought I'd mail Jamie Whitworth about slowing down rather than speeding up ? So what stops your 300BHP monster ??


Midlife.....

 

midlife get the godspeed kit that steve s had on his bugeye that abby boughht looks very tarty similar to mine
oh and it'll stop quite quick

got hi spec 6 pots and fecken big disks with braided hoses , and eibach springs...(big prob with geo at moment, back to S.P'S wed)

trashed std spec brakes and 2 sets of group N spec discs and pads before hand ... was trying to save money but cost a mint m8.

If u fit hoses pads and disks suffer

 

Steve and Faster

Stopping the damn thing was something I completely forgot about..bugger.

Thanks for the advice (Steve) about just doing the hoses, I've mailed JW racing to see if they have a cheap "godspeed" type equivalent (thanks Faster) !!

Midlife.....

 

No probs midlife

Yep, godspeed are big disks.. U get rid of the heat and hence less fade . U don't increase contact area on the disks

Look good though



steve

 

midlife you'll find that the godspeed kits are quite reasonably priced for what they are.

Mike

Thanks for the clicky

Shaun

 

nice corner rusty would be proud

 

mmmmmmmmmmmm big disks mmmmmmmmmmmmmm not long now till i`ll be stopping on a 5 pence bit!!!!

 

About time Abby old mate,usual place for fitting I presume.

 

Faster, Steve, Abbey, Gussy

Still trying to sort what to do about slowing down better. Godspeed front brake conversion about 595 but JW do a "stoppers kit" at a couple of hundred and also an AVO front disk conversion about 50 quid cheaper than Godspeed. Stop laughing whoever bought Steve Sherwen's kit .......

Its at

help.......Midlife...

 

<proud>

 

<laughing>



lol

 

Damn I miss my Impreza

Can we have some pictures of Cumbrian Scoobs on this thread to cheer me up please?

Jon

 

Gussy, yep, the usual place. Maybe the garage should be extended? lol

 

Midlife, out of those suggestions you might as well get the godspeed clobber, people have complained about them on here before, but its usually because delivery delays and all that type of thing, don`t think i`ve seen any posts saying they were cr@p......quite the opposite

Or you could get a set of daddy 6-pots like Steve Em, but then steve has got a heavy right foot lol (he`s says in a 'not like me' tone

Does that make sense? i`m tired
