Ive always had graphics on my 3 previous scoobs,nearly always rally style.Currently adding more bit by bit at the moment.Its not everyones taste but each to there own I say.First time ive seen kubica's car,its pretty good

Hi and welcome to the wonderful world of Scooby ownership :)

Sorry if I offended you,didnt mean to.

Our council is now building a new office for themselves with river views at a cost of £13million,but they aint got no money for anything else...but they need these offices...Rant over

The trouble is, not everyone will stick together.

Is this a wind up?

Smooth tarmac costs to much! They did the same near me a couple of years ago,main rd,tar and chips few days later patches starting appearing,road sweep came once,day after it was done(spoke to him and due to costs he wouldn't be back again),roughly month later all of the new surface had gone-and its still like it now patches everywhere.I hate it I drive as slow as possible but others drive at 30 or more..The sound of the stones hitting your car makes me cringe!!

Make sure you keep it matt when it expires-Frame it,remember how cheap it was compared to the oncoming years! Might see them on antiques roadshow in a few years,might be worth a few quid :D

Don't know if this is the right section to post this in.Got a letter from dvla today to say my license expires sept and I need to renew my photo every 10yrs now.I thought ok no problem its free.WRONG £20 yes £20 for the privilege! Copied my license and paperpart as I don't trust them not to lose it.Perhaps its me just being tight-but cant they do anything free.!Removed! dvla

Surely when you buy a used car when this comes into force,time the seller tells the dvla or tax people it would take a few days to go onto the system,so you as the buyer would drive it home and then go online and re-tax it,surely that should be how it works.Or would the seller go online immediately and inform them,and its untaxed straight away.Surely the 1st way?Or is it going to be more hassle when buying used?They haven't said how this is gonna work have they??

Cheers matt :)

Christ,something cheap for a change! Cheers for that

Been told I haven't got a pill in my pipe,so I think I need a 1.2mm one for a 99 uk turbo.Cant find any on ebay,does anyone have one?Or is it a Subaru dealer item?Dont want to use welding rods! Cheers

Glad its sorted at last.Hmmm I can feel a spend coming on...more power...sti intercooler/td05/ecu or do I get my arches done? ^_^

Well I tried swopping back to cone-no joy,so took plugs out and replaced with 7's.Plug 3 had a crack in it! fire up motor and idling properly.So put oem airbox back on and still idling properly.No fault codes.Took for a 2mile run and hesistation gone and touch wood everything seems fine.What model plug would you use as I put back in the bkr7eix's and checked gaps all 0.7. :)

It did have ngk Bkr7eix in when I first got it,plugs were ok when I removed them.Might pull out the 6's and put the 7's back in as I still have them and see what happens....Failing everything else might be a call to clive attowes then

Hi savage, yes reset code then connected up new maf(Subaru not cheap ebay junk) No codes at present

Hi,I have reset the ecu previously and tried that but didn't work mate.Cheers anyway.Like I said these issues seem to have started when I changed the plugs over.Have i knocked something?Checked and everything looks ok

Hi jay,i'll try that.But when I had it for a couple of months on that set up,it ate 2 mafs,so that's why I put standard box back on.As far as I know its got standard ecu.But i'll give it a go though.Its a k&n cone filter and yes it had a maf with it on pipework.

Heres the story so far.Got the 1999 classic turbo with aftermarket cone filter.running fine.Changed oil/filter/fuel filter.Running fine.changed plugs and went back to oem filter with genuine Maf.Now when idling every 5seconds or so it engine changes note,only very briefly and so on and so on,engine appears to have little shake everytime this happens,where as before it was just totally still.Removed plugs and gaps are all 0.8.Changed coil pack and ht leads for 2nd hand one which I know are fine. Still the same.Also if you put your foot down hard from slow speed-its hesistant and like its holding back for a millisecond or so and does it quite a bit..But higher up speed its still goes ok.Cleaned boost solenoid today and still the same.Does throw up code for faulty maf now and then but tried a friends genuine one today and stil the same.Getting a bit cheesed off with it now-cant find any leaks from hoses anywhere but this all seems to stem from when I changed the plugs?They are PFR6B's ngk.Have checked them again today all appear to be fine.Any Help appreciated :( :( Anyone local to Lowestoft/Suffolk or Norfolk etc

Ok cheers howesy,let me know...if its good news then i'll have the td05 off you. :)

How much for a new/used sti tmic seen a few on ebay?

300bhp would be ok to start with.....Nice.I think howesy said ive got yellow ones or did he say pink?Cant remember i'll ask him later this week.Yes its got prodrive on the tip

Don't know exactly what prodrive exhaust it is?What sort of tmic does it need to be?Is it just a sti one?Im completely ignorant on all of this.Hmmm still quite a bit of money then.Dont know if its been mapped before.Will have to have a look through the folder of paperwork

Once my uk classic 1999 is back on the road,i want some more power,but not spending stupid money.If I got a td05 turbo,and a bigger intercooler and would I need a remap,how much will this cost me roughly and what power increase would I get?Currently its standard apart from full prodrive exhaust(no cats).Open to sugguestions.....Cheers
