April 9, 20169 yr Author ^^^ divorce? ^^^ [emoji54][emoji14] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Not when she feels the power & boost come in on a test drive, it's addictive [emoji23]
April 9, 20169 yr Taking mine in for some new boots. Got a good price on a full set of Yokohama Geolanders fitted for £436. There are other tyres I could fit but the original ones have done 50k
April 9, 20169 yr Dare I go to look at some turbo power this weekend..... Well that didn't go down very well [emoji54]
April 9, 20169 yr With the Mrs lol basically it ain't happening soon. She's right to be fair though, we need sort some other stuff with the house first. Longer term though I'll end up with something newer I think and exactly what I want, rather than another gradual upgrade Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
April 9, 20169 yr Reseated my brake pads and got rid of the clunk... however, noticed that one of my caliper pistons is missing a metal ring, no clue how important it is! Pic is in my other thread...

April 10, 20169 yr Cleaned cars with my mate then went for a cheeky drive. [emoji2][emoji106] Widetrack [emoji3]
April 10, 20169 yr Upset grey haired bloke in a new ish porshe boxter convertible with "jeff" as a number plate . He tried to undertake me twice [emoji53] once on a slip road and again at a national speed limit round about . He seemed a bit miffed and promptly punched the porkas steering wheel a few times ...... He probably saved a long time to buy his porka ,sorry jeff [emoji55] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊
April 10, 20169 yr Annoyed a guy in a brand new bmw m3 he didn't expect my humble jap missile to be as quick as it is ha ha
April 11, 20169 yr Dropped in at stealers for a new steering rack (2014 STi under warranty).... Hopefully that fixes the clunky steering, if not then it's the steering column they are going to change. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
April 12, 20169 yr Did away with the Subaru this morning and biked to work along the canal, nice trip but karma got me and now have a thorn in my front tyre :(. Might have to be in the Subaru tomorrow lol.

April 12, 20169 yr Making some great progress on my new one :) Got new brakes fitted plus recently received my new tyres (reinforced Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's), Hayward and Scott down pipe with gasket, boost solenoid and fuel pump. Currently got it at SSS having the cambelt done. Only 30k ago but has been over 5 years - forgot to check the date again when buying and only just realised - d'oh! Fitting the new fuel pump for me while he's got it too and heat wrapping the downpipe before I get it fitted. Going to pressure test the turbo for me as well, been told the standard Actuator isn't good at holding higher boost on the Twinscroll so seeing if I need to upgrade that before mapping. Spent a small fortune since getting it so its to my standard. This is before my new cat back exhaust and remap too!!! Really, really missing the power of my old one so needs doing haha! Should at least be able to recoup a bit by selling the Genome though hopefully.
April 13, 20169 yr I know, it's a lovely bit of kit. First time I've bought stuff from Scooby Worx, I'm loving their posh little boxes they put stuff in too lol.
