Justin,

I've got nothing to do with NF anymore - hence why the phone is probably dead or not being answered

Give dingy a call - 07779 330979

You dumb *****!!!!!!!!!!! Do you lot not have half a ******* brain between you!!!!!!!!!! Please find anywhere on this site where I state 'It wasn't my fault'!!!!! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] All I've been trying to get across for the last 3 odd days is that I didn't go too fast and lose control because I couldn't handle the car at that speed. There were other elements involved that contributed to me losing control! If I'd misjudged the corner, went in too fast, paniced, lifted off and spun then I would by crying into my coffee with shame for having been so stupid! What actually happened is that I was caught out by something I didn't predict or anticpate for...Its still my fault for **** sake, if I hadn't been pushing the car I wouldn't have got fuel surge at all!!!! Why is this so hard for you people to understand??? Have you been educated or what??????

I HAVE NOT BEEN TRYING TO BLAME OTHER THINGS SO THAT I CAN FEEL BETTER BY THINKING IT WASN'T MY FAULT. I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE YOU REALISE THAT YOU NEED TO BE BLOODY CAREFUL AND BE SURE YOUR CAR IS FULLY ABLE TO GO THE SPEEDS YOU'RE TRYING TO GO AT.

'KIN HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Oh and with regard to the above quote what a lot of ****!!!! I'm sure there are 1000's of insurance claim forms out there where a spin was involved without a fault claim against the driver! What if you minding your own business and someone rams into the side of you spinning you. What about a blow out???

Don't forget to put some petrol in! After spending all that money on tyres discs and pads, it would be a shame to have surge again and thereby waste it all

This may be of interest to you.

Was minding my own business, changed down from 4th to 3rd, nailed it hard and got the dreaded fuel surge.......

Davie

what type scoob is that? RB5?

POC

lucky you didnt lift!!

That damn fuel surge

jjones

are those naff stickers on your headlights or the proper job?

Ok! East Fortune airfield it is then! My test will involve cornering hard to the right with my foot planted on the gas with low fuel and it shall remain on the gas until the car negotiates the corner successful or spins! That way I'll know for sure if surge is violent enough to produce the effect of lift off.

I beg to differ young man. That's hooning out of the first hairpin at Bedford, 30/11/01, 14.53hrs.

Oops.

Sorry Josh - you want it removed?

Is a damn fine statement and advert of your work, even if I do say so myself

Josh L

Course not old boy. Leave it there. A bit bored, so I thought I'd stick my oar in

£5 says he kills himself

Don't you think you're going to a lot of effort to prove you're not a crap driver?

LMAO @ Poc!!!!

Proving whether I'm a good/bad driver is not the point Its a science experiment to see if sudden loss of power due to fuel surge can upset my car enough to spin it. Simple.

Tell you what boys, I must be the biggest *****-nancy subaru driver there is in the world. On this BBS I have read about people losing the back end while drifting round bends due to "fuel surge" not saying there is no such thing as fuel surge but why have I never had it in 3 and a half years of scoob ownership? (fuel surge that is ) Then there are the numerous posts about how "I needed an engine rebuild at 40k miles" due to the STi having a notorious soft engine.
Seems as though there are a few people that don't know how to drive their car quickly and still look after the car.
As was said about Graham Hill : Far quicker driver than Stirling Moss, but Stirling could nurse a sh4gged car round a track to win a race.
My car has 88,000 miles on the clock and has been driven pretty hard, yet there is no smoke or signs of engine wear. Is it maybe that a lot of people have taken the "bullet proof" reliabilty tag that Subaru have as a licence to go ragging their car around the countryside 24/7, then when something goes wrong blame it on, "poor design" or "design flaws".
<FLAME SUIT OFF>

Anyway happy SAFE driving.

Jeez I just re-read my post.

I sound like a *****!

Maybe it effects different models do different degrees? I've had it a few times in my MY99 and every time it has been a very violent deceleration....far worse than fuel cut. I get angry with myself every time it happens cause it can't be good for the engine but I always forget to check fuel levels before pushing it For the record I don't find you have to corner hard at all to get it if the fuel is really low.

D8UGF

Saxo, saw your post in wanted section.

I can let you have my flame suit depending on response to last post
I see your local, you can collect for free

Fuel surge is something to avoid if you don't want to make holes in pistons. A compression issue due to this mid bend would make quite a good engine braking effect and no doubt unsettle the car.

LG John

Factor in high lateral forces and poor rear rubber relative to the front and it might, just maybe, spin the car

You never know

Doug it'll have to be some NASA super-strength flame-suit for me mate

I have had fuel surge a few times now, when exiting round about etc. At first i thought that i had broken the gearbox of something like that, the car declerated that quickly it locked my seat belt when it threw me forward. First back end went light, but i was heading out of the roundabout in a near straight direction anyway, so no major drama there. It has happened a few times since and i just keep my foot planted on the accelerator and it pulls it self out. In fact i got that used to it doin it at a certain speed with a low fuel level, that i can almost judge when it happens.

i am afriad it is just one of those scooby design floors that we all love, like the juddering clutch etc !

LG John

And the bright button!

john banks

Kenny I am saying the engine could let go if you have fuel surge. It is not a safe event at all.
