Ah i thought that might have been an ra, but it had no badges but it being white with rear privacy glass hinted it was, i think i saw the black one too on the hoist in the workshop next to the blue wrx?
The murtaya which is having the carbon shell looks interesting.
Are they tail happy at all?
As for any work on the car, im fine thanks, im tackling most things on the scooby, currently in the middle of swapping the wrx engine mounts for some sti ones, a fun job indeed especially that bastage 14mm nut at the back that sits on the rh mount.
I'll bring the wrx down at some point, i was in the parents getz at the time.

As you know the weather is very questionable atm soon as i get a dry spell im out to do the left side, shouldn't hake long now i know what needs doing that and there's lots of room on that side.

saw plenty of scoobs on the road round truro
p plate wagon dark green
and an interesting dark gold colour classic wagon with a sunroof think it was an X plate. never seen that colour before
went to flash my lights and realised i was driving the courtesy ford KA as the missus was driving the scoob.
would have llooked like a right twit flashing at scoobs in that!! it doesnt even have trims on the rims!!!

Proved the old power to weight issue yesterday.."roadtest" on a modded sti4 same hp as the Murtaya yesterday..Murt pulled a good few car lengths on me and just lost me in the twisties..people do look puzzled when the here the Murtaya and scoob together look completly different sound identical
Anyone fancy a localish track day if I can arrange?

Just returned from "the ring" and a 2 day tackday at "spa"
1 lap and 3k's on the second lap at the ring and blew a map sensor, which also caused me to miss both days at spa so all in all 800 euros up the swanny !
So where do you mean local !

Don't forget st eval circuit isn't far off.
Im not mad on trackdays mainly as i don't want something breaking wr1 can attest to that.
I got the mount done the same day, 6pm onwards it was dry, only took me an hour to finish the left side if that, made quite a difference as the mot is booked in week tomorrow.
St eval will only be a few miles away jase, it's near the karting circuit iirc, popular for hillclimbs.
I am however interested in the trackday even if it means holding back a bit heh.
You could try 205gti drivers see if any pug drivers are up for a play, they're usually a good bunch.
