Good luck Steve. We'll miss your knowledge and input. Might catch up one day on my visits up to Bristol. All the best.
thanks mate
ill still be about mate as iv always got a Scooby or two floating about but think the days of modding them just for the sake of it are behind me now and just fancy a slower pace for a bit,,,you are always welcome to come for a chat mate and see what iv got going on ,, not much at the mo but my WRC project will be going again soon so plenty to see then lol but that will be last scoob im building for a long time lol
Looks to me as though the whole pipe needs rotating so that the port for the MAF is at the top
yep....but it cant rotate as the base of the filter then fouls on the IC pipe running below it
its not a kit - its a mishimoto hardpipe twinned with a Ramair Proram filter - wanted a filter with a velocity stack, but this filter/stack combo is too big
Expensive month for me, car is at TDR for an engine rebuild hopefully i'll be getting it back next week. But i need new tyres all round. I have Bridgestone S001 (245/40/18 93Y) on at the moment but have been considering a change and was looking at the Uniroyal Rain Sport 3's. My Bridgestones have been great and have worn well, has anyone else used both of these tyre models? How did they compare?
Thanks, i just checked those out, they're semi slick track tyres and a little out of my price range
I know it came at the wrong time to be honest. It had already had a forge rebuild done by the previous owner due to ringland failure. Now one of the cylinders was cracked and i'm having to have a new block fitted.
@j3rvx i ran the S001's on both my hawk and hatch with great review of them - couldnt fault them, i then switched to Goodyear F1 eagle asym3 - that was near 18mths ago and they are a step above the s001's regarding wear and wet grip. the car is a daily driver.
re rainsports, what i was alway put off with was the soft sidewall on them but i believe there is an XL variant now that might get over that issue but cant comment on them

Thanks, i just read the Goodyear's review they're decently priced too, i think I'll give these a go. The hatch tyres are rated 93Y but have seen the 97Y cheaper will it make much difference?
Where do you all get your tyres from? I've been using camskill for years just wondering if there was anywhere else decent.

97Y are a stiffer sidewall they are rated at 750kg whereas 93Y are 650kg
I've 97Y on mine
I get my tyres from local tyre fitter hes always willing to price match inc fitting cost.
Got the wee power steering pipe cooler fitted as mentioned by @Rusti
If you have a uk car you can reuse the clip on the alarm sensor takes a wee bit of bending of sensor mount but works
engine bay is near complete just need to switch the current CAI to the mishimoto race intake and airbox, mainly due to it being a 3" intake which is more suited to the AVO silicone intake. Airbox needs a bit of modification to accommodate the IC pipe which will run through the back plate of the airbox
Nice work Gambit, how much did the cooler cost you?
He was bloody quick with getting that, wasn't he? From abroad possibly as well?
My turn to pick up from Enginetuner today! Pockets severely lightened by the afternoon.
Ordered! I assume you drained the power steering fluid first?
no you dont have to you'll lose a tiny tiny bit when removing the hose from the engine side, but just have a rag handy. then for the other end, remove the reservoir bolt on the turret and then rotate the whole reservoir so that the pipe can be removed without losing any fluid
nope none at all. just item & shipping. delivered via Fedex Express. Ordered Sunday night and was here by the Thursday!
As it's come from Dubai (outside EU) and as it's a small value item Fedex don't usually bother asking for money upfront, but expect an invoice in the post for the VAT and Administration charge sometime soon. Unless declared as a gift???
All's good, but my top mount is offset a bit, and I have a much louder induction noise than before. The clutch is just bedding in, and it feels nice and taut in the steering . Unfortunately, it hasn't stopped the rumbling noise, but these spec C's have no sound deadening at all. A bit more room with the pump gone. Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I got interrupted half way through posting.
