i was 700 for 1st year with barclays which i did not think was too bad but the renewal of 1300 is taking the p***..done what jay said and called the club one and got a quote 50 squid cheaper than hyper performance and lower deposit, excess and monthly payments. just waiting to hear back from keith micheals and will be astounded if they can beat it

will try a few more i think . always love a discount

just got renewal in and nearly double what i was last year. what the f*** so got hold of alexander orlof and he redirected me to performance direct who have quoted me £550 fully comp and thats with me also adding on the recent mods too :D just happened to scroll down the page and there were only 8 companys that would quote and the very last one 'insure 2 drive ' ( i dont fekkin think so after the quote!!!!) quoted £9908!!!!! : who looks at that and thinks ' oooo thats a great price and i will pay that ' ehhh?????????? anybody recomend trying elsewhere before i commit. as renewal is 12 june. tho think it would be hard to beat that like.

ooo errrrr mind you its true. my mrs falls for that trick all the time

:lol: am wondering if it has something to do with the engine valet as it seems strange that its less than a week since then and then this happened. ah well note to myself carry a 22 mm socket from now on lol

thats what happened to a lad on our west coast scooby cruise. only his did go on fire when he blew no 3 conrod thru the top of the block and it spat all the oil straight onto the turbo. terminal does not cover the aftermath

thats what i thought. doesnt bare thinking about what could have happened lol

ahhh not good. :(

had a REALLY close call the day to detonating my engine. went to work this morning and thought i would take the scoob. gorgeous day sunny and dry so gave it some welly on the way into aberdeen. disposing of slower cars with ease. got to work and car ticking over on timer and i hear a hell of a rattle knocking from under the bonnet., first thought was big ends by the sound of it. popped bonnet and there is the crank shaft pulley wobbling all over the place . car stops by now and when i grab it the bolt is only about 4 turns from coming out!!!!. went a bit weak at the knees at what could have happened and tightened it back up. 2 yrs of running and thats the first time thats happened.. cold sweat over now tho :)

by the way , why do you want to relase the fork? gearbox removal?

its the same round here too. i put it down to the bull effect..... as my cars red it seems to attract muppets. best one being a 1.25 fiest pushing me thru the town then when i went out the road on my way home he tries to pass me. as i ease off he dives in front and nearly take my front off. ****** to that. next straight went by him and left him. come on a fiesta. wtf? :) its not like mine looks standard. ideas above his station or he has been on the x box to long

im afraid there right. early ones cant be mapped. as this is a recent think for my up grade been looking into it a bit. andy forest can live map the early ones which includes ecu for arpound 600. and truthfully you wont get much better set up thru anyone else. you have to decide what you want. esl? alcatel, simtec or most comman and a wee bit cheaper is the apexi. but its is good with the right mods to tweek up to 500 brake. truthfully you going to be looking around the 500 squid mark to buy a ecu and get it mapped. dont fall into the trick of buying one that says ' its had the same mods as your car so will plug right in'...... dont. each engine is slightly different so will need a map to pair with your engine no matter what you get

:lol: :lol:

i actually forgot i was a member untill i got the sticker thru the door :)

dag nammit :lol:

thanks boys

think i beat you...... my '95 wrx type ra and still wiping the floor with the newer stuff

im in the same point. my ra has walbro 255 tdo5 full 3in stainless decat with stainless 4 branch. fmic.iTig induction kit and only running 0.9 bar boost on standard ecu i got a safe 300 brake at last rr day.been looking i nto how to get get more power up around the 350/60 mark. was told at the rolling road a apexi power fc with commander and 440 or bigger injectors would give me that. if you want more then would need a bigger turbo and other tweeks but once you start near 400 then you would need to uprate gear box , ideally for a 6 spd but you would need to change rear diff and drive shafts too. bigger expense. if you are looking for a safe run about and fun car then go for the remapp with a fmic and injectors would see you at a safe 350. i am actually looking for a engine to do a rebuild with, new big end kit so i know when i start upping the power the engine should be ok. when you start upping old engines. well its only as strong as the most worn part of the engine internals.

err i beg to differ on one point. it should not be a grommet it should be a allen key thread in cap that covers the relase fork shaft. all the classics ive worked on have a screw cap. just behind the starter motor. think the bugs are the same set up.

thanks jay. it in hales most thing on the pavement too lol. :)

this is my 1995 wrx type ra. slight tweeked and modded. tho i bought the car with the storm bodykit on . love it to bits tho its not everyones cup of tea. i like it coz its different and under the bonnet

its funny ive read and heard the same and some scooby boys dont seem to have a problem. but i think it boils down to tyres and power i think

my ra does this too. from what i can gather it depends on the 4wd split. the classics have a 60/40 split with 60 going to the back this coupled with new goodyear eagles tyres makes mine a bit twitchy at the rear. been told a set of winter tyres would make a hell of a differance. plus my power to weight does not help in the ra at 340 brake in a car that weights 1100kg

having been a member of a few impreza clubs thought i woul register on here too. i have a my95 type ra in the rare 559 red color. had it about a year now and love it to bits. in all my years of driving these imprezas are one of the best drivers car ever
