No tinkering for me either just lots and lots and lots of noise making

 

Some pics of my new baby/project

 

About time you got another impreza mate! Blooming foresters lmao

 

I think he should have his own lightfoot sticky thread.

 

once an impreza man, always an impreza man!

 

nice motor mark!

BTW fellas, there's a film coming out (you can get it via bittorrent. cough.) called Born to Race.

It has a scooby as the main car

Here's the trailer:

afternoon all went to poleposition this morning saw ad uk,s car there well nice
great lads over there hope fully sorted my problem yipeee

 

Afternoon fellow WMI'ers hope you are all well WMI brunch meet this sunday, get your names down.

Carl downloading films is illegal! can you burn me a copy onto dvd please for sunday

 

I'm still trying to figure out why anyone would want to race a trailer?

 

Your laptop has Fast5 on it btw, not sure how it got on there..

 

I would never condone copying films.. Its very naughty.

WHat Im doing, is PREVIEWING it for everyone else and if its any good, I'll let you know. Then when the movie is actually released, I'll buy the original. £18 for a Bluray is a lot of money, wouldnt want to spend that on a **** film (Ive got enough of those already) so I'll preview it, then I will buy it.

H, I'll "lend" you a preview copy. If you accidentally copy the DVD (it happens all the time, accidentally of course) then its nothing to do with me....

 

Called in at Pole today too (yes, I saw Ad's car, yes it looks good) as I've got 'a noise'.

Sounds like a wheel bearing going, but only does it at certain speeds and there's no play or grinding in the wheels :/

When I'd finally finished talking to them about my car and the whole team had downed tools to come and gawp and take pictures, I got to take one of them out for a blast to listen, but obviously it didn't make the noise...

One of them suggested that since it only does it at motorway speeds, and it's 'quite' low, there might be enough downforce generated to put the chassis rails on my drive shafts (which it does when I hit bumps anyway), so I'm going to smash them out the way a bit more (more than it has done itself already) and see if that cures it. If not I'll be taking it back at some point in the week for them to have a look.

 

I have a lovely set of standard sti shocks for sale pyro lmao

 

My car is going back in on Thursday for an oil change and to do a bit of fault finding as I suspect I may need a new radiator

 

Haha, one of them did say 'you might have to consider raising it a little' but he kinda trailed off halfway through the sentence as he see could by the un-impressed look on my face that it wasn't an option

 

How low is it then? Cant be good for handling that low.

Simon

 

I haven't got a recent pic, but roughly like this, only a tad lower:



And it handles just fine :]

 

pyro does look good lower than grannies t**s but must handle like **** really looks good though

 

it was possibly me who suggested raising it its mega low it looks the part but causes all sort of problems i found this out at -100mm drop but it looks awesome mate sorry i had to slop off i was half way threw prepping my motor

andy nice to meet you mate hope you get it sorted if not pop in we take a look our selfs mate

 

thanks for comments guys cant wait to get it bck now hopfully this wk forgot wot the scoob is like to drive lol

 

ad your not having it back mate im breaking it if your not here in next 10 mins???

 

ha aha funny ay ya. you wouldnt break that its to nice to break lol. hows it coming on matt ? i havent seen u in couple of days bet ur missing me ha.




plz dont break it lol

 

Couldn't say Matt, don't know name, it was the guy in the black fleece that came out with me. Not the first person to suggest raising it, and I'm sure they won't be the last! And yes, being low is a massive ballache, but totally worth it

Think you'll be seeing it again, I liked the idea of the downforce/chassis thing, but it was doing it at 30/40 on the way home, so that kinda nulls that idea :/

Not sure where the 'poor handling' comments are based, wide wheels, wide stance, stiffened suspension, low COG, negative camber, they can all only make the handling better in my book.

 

I need to get to Pole Position, it would seem these Guy are a Good bunch, I'll Have to think of an excuse.

 

I'll be down on Thursday Matt I'm hoping its nothing serious as I've got anti freeze coming from the cap

 

Not quite true but it does look damn good!

 

evening big shout to Kos for sorting out my I.T issues

 

Hello again

No worries H, good to see you as always. You know where I am if anything breaks!



How is everyone this evening? Nice looking car there Mark! It's like the classic version of H's Spec C

 

How so?
(I'm discussing, not arguing, just to make it clear )

and thanks
