The Professionals star Lewis Collins has died aged 67, his agent has said. The actor, who played Bodie in the cult 1970s TV series, alongside Martin Shaw, died in Los Angeles after a five-year struggle with cancer. His agent said: "He died peacefully at his LA home surrounded by his family. Privacy is asked for at this very sad time." The Professionals was based around the adventures of a fictional crime fighting unit called CI5. The ITV show became huge hit in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Collins's other notable roles included SAS captain Peter Skellen in 1982's Who Dares Wins.

Welcome along. Scooby world had always been popular for bits. If your not too far the surrey club meets near sandow race course every 2nd Sunday of the month.
Welcome along. Didn't the later cars have 3 cats? Down pipe, centre and a small cat on the up pipe? As jay said, the cone filter will give you much more of a sucking noise it's a kind of constant gurgling noise that increases as you put your foot down. You can really only hear it with the windows open. The recirc doesn't really give any noise off in my experience, however something like an HKS bov will give you a great loud whoosh every time you come off boost and if you are running a full decat exhaust this will be accompanied by lots of pops and farts from the exhaust on over run. I had an HKS green mushroom induction kit, HKS bov, and a full stainless steel decat with a Scoobyworld Afterburner Vortex exhaust. More than enough to create all the gurgling, whooshing and popping you'll need. I drowned out a Mustang V8 at a car show once with that set up :D I was good for at least 108db. Also check out if there are any local meets, well worth popping to one to meet other like minded people, although I'm not sure if you'd want to like mined with Gambit, he's a bit of a nutter tbh :p
Not as impressive as the 1st 2 gymkahana's. 5/10 for me.
That's the magic of Cut N Paste. Lifted direct from surrey Scoobies thread. I'm to lazy to write all that!
Here's some pics from the meet. Not a bad turn out for the time of year, 15 cars by the time I left. Here's the pics I took, not the best though it was the wrong type of sunlight :( God I sound like South West Trains.

Yeah I've heard that kind of thing before, but when you do get through they will be extremly competitive.
I have been insured with Keith Michaels insurnace for the last 11 years. Once again great serivce and a lower price than last year. Worth checking them out as the specialise in Imports and mods. http://www.keithmichaels.co.uk/
Anyone else done a pumpkin for Halloween? Here's mine. Along with the inspiration of what I was "trying" to make.
Welcome along, another vote for the Sti hatch. STI also has i drive, better styling and 6 speed box.
Might have been different event organisers, Santa pod may have said it was fine to run without slicks, but the event organisers said no.
Ok here's one of my wierdest moments ever. I took part in a You Bet challenge featuring American football, I played qtr back in my youth, not big enough or fast enough to play anywhere else lol. Long story short I ended up as the reserve on the day of filming. At the studio I got stiched up by my at the time girlfriend and ended up doing this. It was 1992. And apart from a few grey hairs ans slightly better fashion sense I look pretty much the same.
I had similar issue with the battery draining, everything seemed fine with it, levels, recharge rates ect, it still would dump after about 2 weeks, then it only took about 15 mins on a smart charger to charge. I got a new battery and now no problems at all. I think the battery just didn't have the amps to start the car although the volts were there. Battery's do loose their mojo after time. If it were me, I'd bite the bullet replace the battery, I think it was £60ish quid from Europarts. Worth the money as it's cheaper than getting a specialist to check out the immobiliser side of things and it might fix the problem at least you'll have peace of mind that it deff isn't the battery.
Just found this vin number decoder page looks pretty handy. http://www.cars101.com/subaru/vin.html Vin plate location.
Tbh I had my bust run at the pod when I was staging building revs, dumped the clutch and the car was in neutral Being pretty embarrassed I just put it in 1st gear gave it a some revs and pulled away like booting it from the lights. Did a 13.6 qtr mile. That was in my 95wrx years ago.
The JDM classic wrx was a higher BHP than the uk version. Only draw back was getting parts and insurance. Also as most were 2nd cars from japan they had some tasty mods, still there were also a fair few tasteless mods as well. If I recall correctly, most of the early type R,s and STI's were imports, wasn't till the bug eye 300 type uk we really started getting decent UK cars, all there was uptill then was the P1 which was basically a type R fettled by Prodrive.
