No, Scoobynet. Bunch of pricks on that site. First my wheels, now this. I'd only buy from the authorised traders on there now.

PROPER !Removed! OFF!! Some of you may remember me buying those headlights and finding they misted up when on the car. Ive returned them to the chap to re-do them as he said and now he's received them he's accusing me of splitting them myself and ruining them. Saying he probably can't fix them now due to the plastic being in such a bad state! The actual !Removed!! I'm proper fuming. Worst thing is I can't get my money back either due to paying by gift. Argh!!! And Dog - sorry to hear about that mate. Jesus you're having some bad luck lately! Hope there no lasting damage/pain.

Some pics would help mate? Could be looking for some Zunnsport grills? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Zunsport-SUBARU-IMPREZA-HAWKEYE-FULL-GRILLE-SET-BLACK-05-07-Stainless-Steel-/300789420107

Have to check, what day are you going down Ash? Stants and I are going on the Saturday and camping. Are you doing the same or are you going down on Sunday?

Don't worry about it mate. Yea id like to see your pics and vid please pal. Loving that one you've posted too. :) Ive put mine up for anyone that wants to see - I posted them on the SPUK group too but didn't show up in my feed so re-posted them. https://www.facebook.com/nick.foulstone.18/media_set?set=a.360502980766104.1073741827.100004192154481&type=1

It's decided, I'll be camping too :) When do you need the money by the way Gambit or are we ordering our own now?

Had a great morning today! Managed to sort my gauges out!!! Wooooo!!!!! Started as a process of elimination. Tried unplugging them from each other and trying one at a time to see if is just one faulty gauge. I have them daisy chained from left to right - oil temp, oil Pressure and then Turbo. I originally put my gauge supply to the oil temp and chained from that. So after unplugging them I tried in the turbo by itself worked! Linked the oil pressure in - still worked! I assumed at this point I must have a faulty a oil pressure gauge but plugged it back in just to check... BOOM!!! IT WORKS!!! For some reason putting the gauge supply into the turbo gauge first and chaining from that made them work correctly! No idea how or why but there you go, mega happy :D Haven't got a soldering iron or solder so just twisted and taped the cables for now. Will get Martin to solder them in properly for me when I next see him. One query though for people with Bug and Blob Scoobs - the red alarm/immobiliser LED on the dash. Does yours flash when the car is locked or just light up after unlocking the car? When pulling my pod back out the red light went out at the exact same time. Might be just a coincidence as it still lights up when I unlock the car until I put the key in but I'm sure it used to also flash when locked. Don't know what's happened there if it's stopped... I've also fitted my original lights back on. The other black ones will be sent back for re-sealing next week. Managed to change them without issue too! :) might not sound like much but usually when I try and do anything on car something ends up breaking or ends up taking me hours and hours when it should only be simple and take minutes. So today is a massive win haha! :D Another query though, one of my sidelights has stopped working. I tried with another lamp and it still didn't work - but it's used so I don't know if that was knackered too. But in case it isn't just the bulb anyone had this issue before? The old one did go with a pop and left burn marks around the holder lol. I thought it may be a fuse it's blown but the other is working fine.

This was ace!!! 26 Scoobs at my last count. Was amazing seeing a line of us stretching as far as I could see and the look on peoples faces as we burbled by was brill. Saw a few get their cameras out too :) Loads of great pics were taken by the people there and some rubbish ones also taken by me ;) Ill post mine and copy the others in when I get chance. Was good meeting you Cusco.

Well my plans depend on others too haha! I'm happy to go on the Saturday and camp if there's a few others doing this. Otherwise I'll just head down early on Sunday morning. Need to know who's wanting to camp really.

Didn't spot you at all mate. :( Anyway here are the picks of Scoobs I saw: Probably the nicest BRZ/GT86 I've seen that's isn't race prepped. And not Scoobs but my personal 2 cars of the show http://i62.tinypic.com/qnk7yf.jpg http://i59.tinypic.com/2dlqkr9.jpg http://i58.tinypic.com/2v7z7ki.jpg And the 14 plate GTR 35 we had in our club. http://i61.tinypic.com/1yag05.jpg

What time do you want to meet then Ash and whereabouts? I'm near Rivelin valley so close to the snake anyway :). I'll let you go in front now too since you've had your map done and now faster than mine. Plus I'm still bedding in my brakes and got a knackered left hand so not going to be able to push as much as normal.

Forged parts and getting it mapped - of course you would :). Not quite for me. I admit it's a bit daft though, it gets a proper seeing to normally on the road anyway, but still. I'll see on the day, that's if we can get 10 people anyway... Not as easy as it sounds as Japshow has shown.

Haha yea I bet ;). Good job I reminded you then eh? :)

Just want to check, would it be on a weekend? If so out me down. Although I probably won't run on it, don't like putting my cars through that unless I'm getting it mapped or problem solving haha!

Awesome!!! Bet you're looking forward to that drive on Saturday now eh ;). Congrats on the awesome figures, bet it feels amazing, especially after all that steady 2.5k driving.

Sorry Gambit I'm not going to make this after all :(. My hand is still messed up and it isn't really pleasant to drive with at all. I would have caught tram but they're not running and I HATE busses. Plus I'm off work with it so it'd look bad if I got spotted out in a pub lol. Sorry again mate. Will just have to buy you a bottle of pop at Japshow instead ;)

The Hawk has a 2.5l engine instead of the old 2l. Generally puts out about the same power but torque can be/is higher. However the 2.5l engine has a bad reputation for going pop, especially if you mod it - seems a matter of when rather than if so I'd go for the Blobeye. Just do a quick google search or have a quick look on Scoobynet. The 2005 widetrack model with DCCD is also the model many people say it's the best newage Scoob you can get. So I'd definitely say get that one.

Yea sorry to hear Gem. What's happening with this then Gambit, you just having a quiet one with the mrs or still planning on meeting a couple of us?

I will say a lot of meets and shows I've been to this year have been particularly quiet. Even JAE was really quiet this year compared to previous experience. Subaru's have been putting in a pretty bad show overall. Wonder if they're just getting in the wrong hands lately? I also wonder if all the different clubs are hurting bigger meets. It's difficulty to get a good group together when there's 20+ different clubs for each region across the internet/areas. Each will have a couple that want to go which doesn't help any of us as no club can get the numbers. I also hate how much we have to rely on Facebook for so much of this stuff lately. It's just not the same, you don't get anywhere near the same community spirit on there as on a forum. And generally they're mostly twats that just use that. Not all by any means, but most are.

Sorry meant to say earlier won't make it tonight. I picked up a injury at jae over the weekend and driving isn't the pleasant at all!

Yep, sure will be.

Did you get mate? Had a look round but not seen yours. We've got a R35 in our club :). It's a right beast, brand new 14 plate with only 4k on clock.

Yea just amber all time, was going to leave them at that but I can't actually see them in daylight at all when Amber so going to have to sort it. The place I bought them from has sent me a email back with instructions on how to test if it's the gauges at fault or not so going to pop to Martins again on Monday and see if he has time to have a quick look for me. & if he hasn't got time I'll do it myself and borrow his solder if i manage to crack it. Ash - I need the orange wire as I want them to switch colours when I turn headlights on. Like I say I can't see the amber in day at all and White would be too bright at night.

Gutted. Thought you might have known something I was missing then :(. Yea, took the permanent a ignition lives from clock and the light live from the headlight dip toggle. All tested and getting correct voltage when they should. What's most confusing is how they work amber in day and white at night. Makes no sense why they'd work that way but switch themselves off the other way without lights on....

Yea mate. Why have you got an idea?
