Thought I'd get a less special scoob, same shape as mine but a wrx estate maybe. More a case of what if at the mo :(!

Would anyone be interested in buying my spec D?? I'd be open to a good offer. Lots a paperwork n stuff with it, tax and mot. Scooby clinic back box and HKS panel filter otherwise standard. Ill throw in a decent new stereo for it too. Which is brand new. Has all the cool extras, centre diff controller with lock, intercooler water spray etc. just had £700 worth of EBC discs and pads all round. And 2 new tyres on he back. Offers

The pedal feels great, always has. Loads of feel. It's just the god awful noise, however it is getting better. I drove it today and it made hardly any noise, only a squeal when they were cold. And despite the problems the brake are now immense, I still haven't buried the pedal as I'm taking it steady with them. But even with light use they're twice as strong as they were before, I would happily advise other people to get the full EBC set of brakes. P.s. I don't know if the for sale thingy is working yet, but does anyone want some coilovers? Brand new still in the box. I got them from scooby clinic

Yeah, I've always wanted to be an engineer !! Embarrassingly I'm the first one to put my hand up when questions are asked lol if only I'd been this switched on when I was at school lol

I've had the discs and pads fitted, feel great. Even straight away you could feel the difference. After driving it home the car didn't move for a few days, but when I drove it I have a constant grinding noise coming from he front. And the ABS light keeps coming on. When I had some new pirellis slapped on I had a look while the wheels were all off and getting balanced etc. and it looked to me that the pads were in contact with the discs on the front. Almost like they were being applied. I rotated the disc using the studs and it was incredibly stiff to turn. But not impossible to turn. The dude at kwik fit said it should be fine. I'm not sure if it's this special coating that EBC use to bed the pads in or I have sticking calipers etc. but I did notice that when the guy was fitting the discs and pads that he didn't take the brake resivoir cap off when he was pushing the pistons back in. I hope it's something simple, cos I can't afford a set of new brembo calipers for the front

Alrighty my babbers lol sorry not been on, been a bit busy. Even starting my second week of college tomorrow. Only downside is I'm the oldest and least qualified on my course lol that and more embarrassingly I'm the only one with a new satchel and pencil case lol

The first pic (green one) is my bday present. It's a 1989 ZX400R. The blue one, is what I bought for myself for my bday present . Is a VFR400RR NC30. Which is a bit modified. And looks luvverly. And sounds even better. Hehehehe

Hello y'all, sorry I've not been on for a little while. I'm sure none of you missed me but hey ho lol Hope your all ok, I wasn't very well for a bit, it was my birthday, I've been trying to sort out my cool bday prezzie. And of course buying my own (even cooler) bday present. Any of you wanna see my presents?? I promise that 2 bday presents in question are not, I repeat NOT s*x toys. I mean the other presents were. Just not these two lol

Ahh I see, cos my cars got it. The resovoir is in the boot. And it's in the manual for my car. My next question was going to be is it possible to put any additives in it. Like that stuff that makes water have a lower boiling point etc. I know that sounds weird. But I thought if it works on other cars. But thought it would become redundant anyway when I get a front mount intercooler. Although. I spose I could re-engineer it. Although it would be mucho more expsensivo would be cool to have a CO2 cooler bar for the intercooler. You can also the those induction hose CO2 coolers, it's piped up so it's like a mini incredibly cold thingy that hangs in the induction hose. And the air rushing through passes over it. Which I've seen a few times. But I think the intercooler CO2 spray bars are more popular, with less problems. Cos if you can imagine if the humidity is high then you'll get frozen condensation building up in the induction pip and then braking off as it would be under pressure etc etc. lots more problems too. Anyways what I'm saying is, is there any way to improve the normal spray bar??????

Do all of your cars have intercooler water sprays fitted?? I don't know if it's a hawkeye thing. Or the whole family of STI's that has them

Exact same problems as me by the sounds of it. I've tried explaining to my doctor that if he wants me to do more stuff and be more active then he has to stop moaning so much when I order my repeat 'scripts. I know it sounds weird but I kinda miss getting grubby and skinning my knuckles. I'm going to try and be sensible and pace myself, but that's easier said than done, what I will try to do is make sure I've got some tools that will take some of the strain out of it. Gonna get myself an electric intact wrench, I've got plenty of pry bars, but I'd like to get a pole to slide over my ratchets n stuff for more leverage. Need to get myself a torque wrench too before I tackle the jobs

Feel free to come to my house and help, ill get the bacon butties and teas on !!

I really struggle to do things on it now. Every car I've had I've always done everything on them. From servicing to fitting suspension etc. but since I fooked my back up I've not done anything on them. But I'm determined to do the things on this car, I know it will take me a lot longer than it would you guys. But A: I can't afford to pay the labour and B: I miss doing all that stuff, and my tools are getting rusty lol

Yeah she cooks etc, she knows I'd slap the taste out of her mouth if she didn't. How do you think she had those injuries hehe

On another note my full set of EBC pads and discs arrived today :)
