Morning All,

anybody linked to me on facebook will know i'm in Guilford doing a Dyno tunning course.

does anybody fancy a Dyno day, if you've not done it before its an amazing experience, especially when your car is in the Dyno cell and the exhaust is just screaming away as you do a power run.

I'll be able to get a good rate, the only down side its a good 120m (i ony used just over quarter of a tank from completely full) however there's some amazing driving roads down here.

thanks for everybodys support on Facebook, looking forward to the breakfast club.

all the best

Mark

Have had a problem with my airbag light since last year, changed my seats, since then the airbag light would not go out, several people have tried to sort out the problem without success, Subaru said they could reset the thing for 80 quid! Hum thanks,

Popped round to Sy’s in the week, he took a look and told me what I needed, two mins on ebay and I purchased two resistors, (£1.50) popped round today with them, TWO minutes later problem sorted!!!!!

Cant big him up enough, he definitely knows his stuff guys, totally top bloke with it.

Thanks m8, cant thank you enough

On a "Not so Good Note!"

If you are passing through Northfield and fancy letting the local Croations cleaning your pride and joy - DONT!!!!!!!!! They are on the Bristol Road South, right next to the Laptop Ctr.

They managed to rip crap loads of paint off my new splitter, looks like two years worth of stone chips now, i think the concept of holding the jet spray more than six inches from the paintwork has escaped them, god help the poor guy in the new porsche behind me....

So my advise, keep your 3 quid in your pocket and do it yourself, i normally do and wish i had done so this week.

hi all - anyone know who's got a BLACK 2006 hawkeye with black alloys, a lovely sounding squeeky dump valve, big rear box and... wait for it... PINK subaru WRC rally graphics all over it in the Sutton area? I was behind it all through Erdington and Sutton, sounded lovely, driven very carefully (be proud!) but i lost them heading off to Mere Green. Member of WMidImprezas?
Laterz, Chris.
PS anyone else going to Black Widow's Dyno run day?

Mark, after the installation on the grounding kit, the car was running sweet as a nut again. Then over the last couple of days i noticed it was starting to go again... so i disconnected the battery for 2 hours, then went off and did the IAM 'run' and hey presto, back to normal. I am told disconnecting the battery doesn't reset the ECU on later cars, but this is WEIRD!!!!!
ps - still thinking about the Dyno run....

oh, and my comment about the 'big rear box' was in NO WAY meant to be sexist. Just to clear that up. I was of course referring to the exhaust pipe on the car (you pervs)...

Hehe alriiiiiiight!

Wicked clip mate, I do love it but any scene with Quagmire in is just legendary! Especially loving the clip on YouTube; "So Quagmire Is A Pilot"

Speaking of YouTube, has anyone seen the video from Subaru of Tommi Makkinen setting a new lap record for a saloon car round the Nurburgring in the 2011 STI Spec C? Tis pretty cool!

timing on mine at that rev range was adjusted and improved it but not completely. although without going out in yours Chris it might be different.
