idle issue
Yeah, no light then I would check the throttle body first. Apparently the turbo covers it with oil over time or something

Have a look at your throttle body, it could be dirty causing it to stick

idle issue
Isn't that what you want though? Means it is at fault rather than something else yet to be found :P

idle issue
Mine does this when I dip the clutch, I just presumed it's a normal thing to happen. My car is mapped by Prodrive though?

Would anyone be interested in a Buttertubs and/or Whitby day?
Would guys be travelling to buttertubs then? Id happily meet for a bit round there, wont be travelling to whitby though. Not this time anyway

what do you that is silly with your car?
That's brilliant, just to think the amount of people you annoyed setting them car alarms off! lol. My brother used to have a white Opal Manta and he loved it, regrets selling it. Also used to do banger racing in them :) . I also like tend to rev the car every now and then at traffic lights just to hear it purr!

Spot the difference!
One thing I have learned with cars is.... Nothing is ever easy! Hope you manage to get it working :)

Oh no :(

Yeah don't think I would go there unless I had a place to stay seeing as it's opposite coast to me ;)

I'm up for this, I have driven Buttertubs a few times. Not been much passed there though so would be interesting

Fitting a new stereo last night, it's rubbish so sending it back... shame really :( Sounded promising... - Touchscreen - Full 1080p HD - Sat Nav - Bluetooth - SD and USB support So when I had installed it and found that it saves radio stations but not other settings I wasn't happy. Also sound keeps dimming when losing a bit of signal AND it doesn't support anything to do with IPOD!

In car recording tips?
Those are some pretty good alternatives, surprising what's out there really. I might sell my GoPro soon and either upgrade or move onto a different style of camera.

High mileage
Mine is on 93k, seeing as these engine just go and go don't think it will be the highest
-
In car recording tips?
I will check out the Mobius cams, I use the GoPro mainly for mountain biking so can keep that set up for that kind of action and use a different camera for in car stuff.

Does anybody have photo shop? I use an ipad : (
Yeah I think a matte carbon effect would look pretty decent

In car recording tips?
Thanks, I will have a look into that. Seems like a good option to me

In car recording tips?
I have a GoPro and a suction mount that I have used to record videos in my cars. In the Subaru however it seems to pick up wind noise rather than engine, I was using a waterproof case though. Looked up online and they said a vented back would be better and it is just still not that good. Maybe mounting in a different location? Currently it sounds like this...

Intercooler pipe experience
That sounds like one hell of a car... shame it's french though... ;)

Intercooler pipe experience
Well that's a cheap fix ;) . Loving that pic!! Going to have to fill up today... 2nd time since I got the car. Got just over 250 miles out of a full tank, not bad!
-
Intercooler pipe experience
That is the worst! Almost as bad as stepping on a plug.... wouldn't advise that. On a side note, while it was having work done I put the intake back to standard. It had a cone filter on it which gave a "suck" noise so you couldn't hear the engine. Now sounds beautiful again!

Intercooler pipe experience
Thanks, I had it put back on last night extra tight and driving to work today she seemed pretty good. Was a good scare though!

Intercooler pipe experience
This one definitely caught me by suprise, I was on my way home from work and happened to be behind a motorbike. Coming onto a straight I thought "wonder if I can keep up" so gave it some, got round the corner onto another straight and just into third gear there was a pop/bang! All power went, smoke out of exhaust and it died. Obviously first thing I thought was "oh god my car" then once I popped the bonet I realised the intercooler pipe had come off. I was told I was just unlucky but I'm worried it might have been something to do with my driving as It's only my 4th day in the car. (On a side note this bike couldn't outrun the scooby... until that)

First weekend in Scooby
She has had a paddle clutch fitted recently so I know that's in good condition. The guy that owned it before me is my brother in law, he had it for 3 years and drove about 2k miles in total and the guy before him had it for 2 years and probably did less. So I think all this driving will be a shock to it's system :P . Yeah I was playing around this morning learning when it starts boosting, although didn't get to open her up at all on way to work. Just a casual drive in, still smiling though. I also find I'm waking up earlier in a morning, wanting to go out.
