Don't actually know Chris. But have heard of him. I beleive he works on Scoobs. Does he work at the old Q8 garage?

scotishscooby 23 April 2003 09:44 PM

Wow.
Theres a lot to learn!!!
So, firstly, i should get sum octane booster and a knock link sensor.

scotishscooby 23 April 2003 10:01 PM

Seems to be a lot of us in Edinburgh and round a bout. We should all get together in Edinburgh one weekend. Show the wee neds how its really done!!!!

LG John 23 April 2003 10:48 PM

Ease up! I am one of those wee neds..............apparently :rolleyes: :D

Pyrocam999 23 April 2003 10:54 PM

Yeah, Chris runs Linton Service Station, The Old Q8. Also has a Green Wagon that he's seriously tinkering with. Wolf is sheeps clothing. Does a lot of servicing for the rally cars too. I'm sure he'll be up at Ingelston on Sat for the Tarmac stages

sg72 23 April 2003 11:07 PM

Mmmmm.....I'm off on saturday .Ingleston sounds like worth a visit.
probably be there.

cheers Steve.

I'm just outside Edinburgh (near Dalkeith) : my car is somewhere between Japan and the Uk on a boat : probably got around 3 or 4 weeks to wait before I take delivery of a std dark blue '95 WRX : anyone got a non-std exhaust / 16" wheels / rear spoiler going cheap to tart it up a bit ?)
An Edinburgh meet would be great to meet others.
Re fuel : my understanding was that Optimax for a WRX would be ok but an Sti might be safest on OB but the ideal might be installing a Knocklink and then for someone like John Banks to set the car up for whatever you're going to run the car on ?
Std WRX needing a constant diet of Optimax PLUS OB seems a little excessive unles you're going to give it a particularly hard time ?

unles you're going to give it a particularly hard time ?
It's easy seen that you ain't taken delivery of yours yet ;)

Enjoy when you get it :D

Cheers
Si

SG72.

Chris Allan is good with the Scoobys. As Pyrocam said, Chris has a green wagon, i picked up mine this morning, and Chris will be doing all the servicing.upkeep on it.

He looks after a few Scoobys, Cossies, and a few nice Evos too.
Aint expensive either.
This sounds like an advert !!

kart_man 24 April 2003 04:01 PM


Ummm.. Actually I was referring to myself (in the P1).. and I was kinda kidding about the Brad Pitt comment, I'm far better looking than him !! ;)

I know the guy with the TVR though. He was at the karting event on Saturday at Gladsmuir. He posts on here occassionally too I think !

bluenosewrx 24 April 2003 04:20 PM

aye,sorry i got confused,i,ll read the thread properly next time.
mac

LG John 24 April 2003 05:26 PM

I know the P1-TVR guy (well not personally) but I've drooled over both his cars for years and then usually finished myself off further down the road at the Ferrari garage ;):D I've probably seen you around bluenosewrx as my parents live in Buckstone so I'm around Colinton, Oxgangs, etc a lot. Very few of you bugeye owners wave though :(

sg72 24 April 2003 06:14 PM

Kartman
'Twas good to have met you on sunday (Not at the Karting. But at that other Weekend pastime B&Qs). Nice of you to take time out to listen to this old geezer wittering on. Mush apreesh.

kart_man 24 April 2003 06:37 PM


Yep, good to meet you too. Always good to meet other people with superior colour selection skills when it comes to their cars !! ;)

Any more thoughts on the 6 pots ?? I should have taken you out for a spin so you could feel their stopping power !! Pretty awsome, but I can understand your concern with no ABS !!

See you around mate,

Dave




sg72 24 April 2003 07:55 PM

Dave
Did have think about the brakes.... and decided no.Going for the new blue(Tarty) C-Tech discs.What with the new AP cluch,Knocklink and remap. The expense had to stop somewhere.

(Got my SIDC membership through today).

kenny_mcgee 24 April 2003 08:20 PM

it was definitely kart_man as it was a P1 not bug eye.

stop next till and have a chat.

cheers, Kenny
