    Bonus handy when you know the MOT tester :) 18 months be nice project thread if nothing else :D
  2. Don't forget the milk :)
  3. Gambit replied to Gambit's topic in Car Shows
    Just over 2 hour's for me depending on speed laws :D
  4. Not been taken out the garage today :(
  5. Haha I was looking at the car's in the background too but didn't see that sat there well spotted.

    Yeah once the repairs have been done that they wrote it off for you can drive it to the MOT station have it tested once its been tested and fine you then apply for the Vic check with VOSA is my understanding of it. I've only been looking briefly into it myself seen a few nice write offs :)

    Just seeing how many want to go at the minute then I will speak with the organizers and find out :D I will go if I can get the house and car sorted before but tall order for me this year :(
  8. How could you say such a thing
  9. Gambit replied to quit's topic in Junk Room
    No I've also looked at a few Cat C's in the aim of buying one to do up bit like yourself. I'm not 100% clued up on the means of getting it back on the road other than the Mot and tax and the Vic check
  10. It is nice though my Missus was just looking at me like I'm an idiot when I said I would buy it if I had the cash :D Seen a few nice P1's I'm really tempted to get one and make it like a 22b with the body kit's.
  11. You're welcome mate. It is I can't find anything I will keep looking but it's pages among pages of just nothing. :( Just going to add some bit's might help others or yourself in the future if anyone is going to do it :) How should a catch can be installed? There are a variety of ways to install a catch can. There's one right way, two sort-of right ways, and some would argue that at least one common installation method which is wrong. Sort of right ways: 1) Disconnect the hose which runs between the PCV valve and the turbo inlet pipe. Run a line from the PCV to the catch can, and another line from the catch can to the turbo inlet hose. 2) Disconnect the hose running between the crank case breather lines and the turbo inlet pipe. Run new hose between the breather line and the catch can and another hose between the can and the inlet pipe. Right way: Use two catch cans. Configure one as discussed in option one and the other as described in option 2. For optimal effectiveness, this is the way to go. Wrong way: Disconnect the PCV<->Inlet line as well as the Crank Vent<->Inlet line. "T" the PCV and Crank vent lines together, and run the remaining end of the "T" to a single nipple on the inlet pipe. Cap the remaining nipple on the inlet. You'll be sending boost into places that definitely shouldn't ever see any. Bad idea. Valve cover vent lines? There's more than one? Yes, but they're T'd into that black tube which runs in front of your intercooler. The third part of the T is a hose running to your inlet pipe. Can't I just vent these lines to atmosphere? You could indeed, but there are several reasons why you shouldn't. 1) You'll lose the benefit of having the inlet's vacuum help suck filthy air out of your crank case (thanks to Wylde Horses for this one) 2) It's bad for the environment 3) It'll make a mess of your engine compartment. 4) It'd let metered air out of the system
  12. I came across this ;) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1999-Subaru-Impreza-22B-/321230813763?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4acad93a43
  13. Yeah sounds like they will do a sniff test a smoke test for air leaks and get it on the ECU to test it. Was about £85 for me to get that done on a car awhile back. but that was a one off payment £85 I didn't have any extra or hourly rate :(
  14. Wow most places I know will check a car over for free unless you're having the sniff test done and the ECU read. Mind you I can even have the ECU done for free to be read. :( But either way best I think just for peace of mind and to try get to the bottom of the problem. Hope it's not to bad for you mate
  15. Haha I don't know many people that don't call it scabby.net now. Don't get me wrong it's nothing against the site or the Admins and Staff why I call it that. I've spoke to the Admins and found them very pleasant and helpful, I've been a member on it for years must be about 8 years ago when I 1st started to use maybe more, and am a full paid member but I think how some members speak to others on there is shocking and has given the site a pretty bad rep. I've spoken to a lot of Subaru owners that won't use the site now. Two are in their mid 50's :( just for that reason.
  16. Only thing I can think was the pipe was some how starving it of air and I can't see why it would need to be mapped.
  17. I would say I will be on the Xbone if I'm on but might try pop on the 360 then I can at least add you I don't know how to add people on the Xbone
  18. Lee's already asked on Scabby.net I've seen his post :) more about the problem than the owner though.
  19. I 2nd that I have one in the car the one in the picture. I disconnected it after reading some horror stories less than a week after I fitted it. Worked well but I didn't want to risk it.
  20. :( I doubt he will come forward on Scabby.net if he won't return the call's :(
  21. The noise will help the baby to sleep :) and awd for safety has four doors big boot space ideal family car I wouldn't look any further. But congratulations on the new baby mate :)
  22. It is good with it on I'm sure I was quoted about £380 with pump.
  23. Not sure if any of this will help. I see what you mean it's a bit of a mine field :(
  24. I've never fitted one but they do look like a pain in the rear hole. I've read they are set up the same way the Imprezas. I'm just looking for more info if it helps.
