Micky,

I burnt my legs worse today than 3 weeks in Florida...... and it hurts

Nartin

 

Think the sun went to your head a bit too Nartin.

Should see lisa's face, red raw it is.

Such a shame today, scoobies kept breaking.

s/micky, does the pic work now?

 

yup works now

word on the street is that MLR only won by ONE point

 

Not sure, we didn't stay for the awards. Roger Clarks gobstopper was quick as f.ukc until that broke, plus loads others.


Looked great in the flesh too.

 

red and white is sooo last year

 

Thought you might think that.

This any better:

 

thats the way to do it

 

Hi Guys. Well looks like TOTB was a great weekend, Liz and Myself spent the weekend at Muirkirk in the Scottish Forrests Rallying our Impreza, it was Liz third event and was the first time we had the car mapped with a GEMS, before people start shooting the GEMS board down, they are all wrong about them, its not the board its the mapper that causes problems, The rally car got mapped by Dave Bell at Autolink in newcastle and this guy is a true hero,

Dave and myself were mapping the car till 3am and it paid off, we were running a standard road engine, gearbox, 2 pot brakes and 15" nobblies and we were only 3 seconds off the stage time of a Group A Evo 3 with 18"wheels and F2 Pirelli tyres. His car cost £40000 ours has cost in total £8000. The Impreza now pulls cleanly from 1200rpm in 5th gear and goes like an absolute train, Dave also reckons with a bit more mapping we can get it to run even better.

Mind saying that GEMS dont cause problems isnt exactly true they did manage to supply three map sensors that failed from new and we had to hard wire a sti map sensor to make the car work, If everything had gone well on the event we would of technically finished 7th overall and third or fourth in class. We eventually finished 18th and 7th overall. best result so far, but alot more to come.

 

Forgot to ask whens the next rolling road day. Dave is mapping that one aswell and should see some imprezssive results by the time he is finished.

 

Hi John,

Well done for those excellent results. Liz must be a hell of a driver.

No RR days planned as most of us went to TEG earlier in the year.

Cheers

Martin

 

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the congratulations and she is a really good driver, but even better navigator perhaps thats why we got married on 24th of June this year and do you all know we have two kids now a boy and a girl Lucy is 5years old and Robert is 9 months, they too are excellent service crew.

Hope we can get a RR day sorted soon as I miss not convoying it down and running the tunnels just before the M62.

 

hi guys and girls after some info on changing the intercooler on my 2001 wrx bugeye to a sti one will it go strainght on or is it a bit of a job can any one help me out with this cheers , what kind of bhp would i expect to gain ??

 

replacement front wing painted tonight, standard rear spoiler and rear bumper also painted, came out very well, shade of paint looks good as well

think i have around 2 litres left to finish off the rest of the car, had to rip the rear splash guards and "cut" the rear spats off the back bumper, bolts and clips had all rusted up

not sure how the spats will fit back on now TBH

removed the rear bumper and expected lots of rust, found a few little 1p sized patches, scraped them away to find silver metal, put some kurust on them anyway and covered over, actually really surprised about that, rear bumper bar was not even that bad either and they rot like buggery

 

No pics, Micky? Bet the wash is getting covered in paint.

 

will take some soon

Afternoon all,is this rain ever going to stop

Mick

 

reminds me to pick up some beer on the way home

replacement front wing fitted today

pics to arrive when i get home, all lined up without a problem, which is nice considering the crash i did although i have discoverd that the sti ra front wings do not have the hole and clip at the bottom of them (underneath the skirt) for the last skirt mounting bolt/splash gaurd/bolt/bracket, so everybody saying that sti ra wings are lighter are WRONG

they are actually heavier due to not having a hole in them

 

6 pack of corona bought

todays efforts

not a bad match TBH, i have seen worse, will be fine when i spray the full side to match
