No pics of you washing the car Arron, I am disappointed , will stay clean for a few days at least!!

 

Happy new year to all fellow hatch owners All the best for 2011


Mine got its first bath of the year

 

Rob, you have Pm.. agian

 

And right back at ya bud

 

Hi Mick, still loving the Megane, engine loosened up quite a bit now. Still in awe of its handling. Useless from a standing start in wet if you apply too much throttle, but once on the move no problem.
Do miss the STi sometimes, especially in the snow we had, but overall really happy with the RS250 and wouldnt go back. The Megane caters for my driving style better me thinks. Hopefully will be taking it on track this year see how it goes.

Happy New Year everybody

My first question of the year, anybody fitted a rear view/reversing camera to the hatch? Been looking a the cheapies on eBay but no sure where to fit one...

 

Not fitted one yet, but i'm tempted to try

 

Think the camera fits just above rear number plate.

 

Happy new year guys.

I need some new tyres. Not sure what to put on.

I am going to be trading it in an the next 8 weeks (test drives of potential replacements on Thursday, weather permitting) but I can't really run it much longer without new tyres. They are all just above the legal limit and are feeling decidedly slippery on the cold wet roads.

I was thinking Pirellis P Zero Rosso or Good year F1 asymmetric. I have 18" GT1 wheels.

Any suggestions?

 

why???

i cant understand the point of rear camera's

HGV drivers dont use em and they are the worlds worst things to reverse lol

 

dont put on any nexus 9000's thats what was on the car wen i got it, and thier s###. road noise is shocking, handling deffinatly suffers, and were diabolicale in the snow. but i cant justify changing them with a good 4mm thread on avg all round. with road tax due next month :s

hearing good things about the pilot sports 3 from few guys on base, and i was very pleased with the conti's sport compacts 3 on the S3, very handy tires.

 

I've been to look at the car above this afternoon!!! what can I say.. it's very in ya face!

Was told its had no engine problems! and it had come from up north.

Like the car apart from the stickers... white alloys and they way the rear spoiler had self tapping screws holding it on!



We'll keep looking for a white car else where

 

That is just simply shocking!!

Why would someone do that to a car?

I see Slip End still have this in...........

I like fitting pointless objects lol

Main reason to see how many flames pop out with the anti-lag on haha

 

I know its had an engine in and a turbo because I fitted them both

 

If your trading it I'd just find the cheapest brand name tyre. Kwik-fit / National etc sometimes do deals on one particular tyre. For the sake of 8 weeks I'd go down this road; Black, round, and a name I've heard of please.

 

I like your thinking.
Black round and a brand name sounds good.
Cheapest I have found is £150 per corner for the Goodyear F1 asymmetric or £152 for the pirelli.
Will try for cheaper tomorrow.
Cheers.
Chris

 

I have had a clear out in the loft whilst putting the xmas decs back for another year

found a brand new anthracite 8.5 x 18" GT1 (RB320) wheel

found the old thread i had when i sold my wheels
https://www.scoobynet.com/private-fo...pcd-5x113.html

 

I looked at this before purchasing mine, was told the car can be returned to std for buyer as its all vinyl and wheels swapped with std set.

Unfortunately at the time was more than I wanted to pay, grey was my first choice!

 

have a look at a set of AVONS

http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m61b0s0p0

 

Grab yourself some of these Falkens, at £86 you cannot go wrong, cannot remember if ours are 235 or 245 so you may pay a little more but still a bargain.

I like the Michelins, but expensive if you are selling.
Trouble is, by the time the tyre is "worn in" I've got used to it and forget how it compared to previous make of tyre
I used to like Toyos on the Classic, but believe they are not so good on the Hatch.

I found a really good independant site which compared grip in wet/dry, road noise, wear, etc etc for all makes, but can't find it now - but worth doing a search !

 

vredastein sessanta's fitted to mine, have been superb in the wet, dry and snow!!!

 

They are a fantastic tyre alright.
I had them on my old 05 STI and as you say - superb pretty much sums them up

 

To the fella thats looking to buy a hatch sti.

Simpsons subaru in highworth have a silver one for 24K with only 50 miles on it, sounds like a good price.

They also have a cosworth for sale.

 

Hi,

Just keeping everyone updated on the power results from Cobra Sport exhausts, We have been testing the latest Subaru STI Exhaust system at Scooby Clinics calibrated rolling road machine.















The car only made 286 BHP on the first run with its standard exhaust (It should have made the 300 BHP figure) so we realised we were working with an under powered car in the first place.

It made 6 BHP gain from standard O/E exhaust to 3" bore cat back system, and 4 BHP gain from the 2.5" cat-back system ( Yes a 2 BHP difference between a 2.5" + 3" bore on a standard car ! )

Cannot wait to put the de-cats on


A couple of links to hear the exhaust in action -

We are currently offering a Group buy on the 3" cat back system @ £450 Inc Delivery (Mainland UK only) Normal RRP is £530 Delivered. and you get to choose any of our tailpipe designs.
( See www.cobrasport.com for all tailpipe options )

Phil... with the Yellow Smart Roadster

 

I love those 3door cosworths.. a RS500 even better :0


there's a lot of silver and red pre reg out there aboutthe same money... hammonds have a red at £23500.

I'm looking for a white a though. I'll wait till the right one comes up.

 

would you be interested in my white hatch, obviously being put back to standard and would have a 2010 ecu and engine in it ??
