Tyrant Posted August 12, 2010 Author Report Posted August 12, 2010 Too many forums?!?!? I canna be arsed joining forums just to ask one question and then forget username and password 300 bhp just now - prodrive kit would take it to 330 bhp I think and make more of an exhaust burble. £1700 quid though! One I got has already got 18 inch Prodrive alloys which are CAF... so reckon just need the inbuilt satnav and more burbleburbleburbleburbleburble and it'll do me... until I get subwoofer lust Fair doos but the chunces are that you'll have more and more questions. Find a local one and you'll find it extremely helpful. £1700 for an extra 30BHP? I suppose that's ok if you're loaded. Go to Wallace Performance in Bridge of Don and they'll get you a new new stainless steel exhaust with any level of burble you want for £300 - £400. Quote
dave_min Posted August 12, 2010 Report Posted August 12, 2010 I've got a 1984 Mini City which I'm selling if anyone is interested? Quote
Mentorred Posted August 12, 2010 Report Posted August 12, 2010 Mentorred - can I pick yer brains, please? I'd been looking to get the 330S Impreza for the inbuilt satnav but the seats were like concrete so just got the STI. I'd still like to fit a satnav... any idea what make the Subaru factory installed sat nav is? Would it be easy to fit myself? And would I be able to wire in the steering wheel volume controls and stuff to the stereo in the sat nav? All i can see on google is references to "MY08" satnav... is that a make? ... and can ye get me a AFC discount on a Prodrive kit? Thanks! I think working in a Subaru dealership would have been my second choice of career. When I drove my bosses WRX round the block 9 years ago, I decided there and then I wanted one. It took 9 years but was worth it I am in the USA. So not sure about over there, but here Kenwood make the sat nav system for Subaru. Quote
Tyrant Posted August 12, 2010 Author Report Posted August 12, 2010 Jager - I ken it's too late now.. but it'd have been a lot easier and probably cheaper to swap out two uncomfy seats then retrospectively install a funcy sat nav system! Quote
Mentorred Posted August 12, 2010 Report Posted August 12, 2010 Chief Wiggum who used to come here has a Subaru WR1 it is a special edition made for to honour the British Rally team. he picked me and the wife up in Torry last year when we were over to take us to his house in Cove. Really fast, We were thrown back in our seats every time he accelerated. LOL. Quote
Tyrant Posted August 13, 2010 Author Report Posted August 13, 2010 Nae when the car was £5,000 cheaper And I dinnae just want stainless exhaust, was this whole thread an advertising scam? I want prodrive! I need prodrive! That's 4 exhausts! Kenwood? Thanks Mentor Then minus £1700 is still a saving of £3300 = happy days! Get the Prodrive kit on! Good luck with the bill when you need all your cat converters changed! Quote
Madbadteacher Posted August 13, 2010 Report Posted August 13, 2010 Bet the insurance isn't cheap for you boys! Quote
Madbadteacher Posted August 13, 2010 Report Posted August 13, 2010 OUCH! Although, on reflection, my road tax is cheaper too....... Quote
Sheep#1 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Posted August 23, 2010 Peugeot 206 GTI, nippy wee bugger, but pretty heavy on the fuel. Had a Golf TDI as a company car in my last job, oh how I miss my fuel card! Quote
chief_wiggum Posted May 18, 2012 Report Posted May 18, 2012 This is like my Scooby Mentorred was talking about Quote
chief_wiggum Posted May 18, 2012 Report Posted May 18, 2012 You going to be controversial and say the Hatch is the best body shape I must admit to not being keen on launch but it has grown on me and is my second fav body style. Did you ever get the Prodrive kit? Mine is standard apart from a Blitz Nur spec R Which I had to get a baffle for cause it was just too loud. Quote
chief_wiggum Posted May 18, 2012 Report Posted May 18, 2012 I agree I think the classics are looking their age, although the 22b is still niiiiiice. I haven't seen a new saloon in the flesh but thought the pictures of the STI saloon looked nae bad. Is there not a new STI coupe coming out that looked tasty? Quote
Tyrant Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Posted May 19, 2012 Fuck me. I have zero recollection of this thread! Nae sure about Alford Jäger. My Scooby's going up for sale as soon as I put another MOT on it. :-( if I've still got it then I might not be able to resist a wee run roond the famous Alförd Ring! Had one of the Alförd Ring stickers on my last car! Quote
rocket_scientist Posted May 19, 2012 Report Posted May 19, 2012 Contrary to popular belief, the car that we drive is more a reflection of our status in society and is proportional to the size of our HL&S wallets rather than our penises. The size of car we drive does not statistically relate to penis length or girth whilst penis-envy does raise its head in automotive comparisons. Quote
Tyrant Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Posted May 19, 2012 WHAT?!?!?!? Why ye sellin it? Thought ye'd put alot of effort into gettin work done to it? If ye PM me details I might be interested. Hopefully getting a garage built soon and after doing the Rally Experience at Knockhill last week I think I might want a classic turbo as a track car or project car to tinker aboot on. ChiefWiggum - new Subaru coupe is the BRZ and think there will be an STi version. Some good write ups but it is getting slated on the cover of one of the car mags this month. It's waaaay overpriced so don't think it'll be popular. Well I certainly don't want to sell it. But it's a sacrifice that I'm making because I'm about to embark in a mortgage. So the plan is to switch to a boring (but much cheaper) diesel. Ill fire ye a PM with some details and ye can let me know if it sounds like what yer looking for. Quote

octavion Posted May 19, 2012 Report Posted May 19, 2012 My shite skitreon is shite and aboot to die. Went in to try the new punto (had one before ages ago ) comes with heaps oh shit tom tom, bluetooth, ac, speed reg and sun roof, but got that thingy that kills the engine at red lights that bugs me. Apart fae that enjoyed drive. Quote
Tyrant Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Posted May 19, 2012 I'll give you £100 (cash) for it? I don't quite know how I'm able to turn that generous offer down but I am! Quote
Well Red Posted May 19, 2012 Report Posted May 19, 2012 Honda S2k. Fine for driving about town, and capable of some pretty mental handling. Great for a balls-out, top-down drive round some of our country roads. At least would be if summer ever decided to arrive. Quote
capitalsharpie Posted May 20, 2012 Report Posted May 20, 2012 We went from a grande punto, quite liked it. Loadsa space. To a new 1.9 tdi octavia estate. Love it. Cumfy, engine is decent, loadsa milage from a tank of diesel. And the built in 6 cd changer is fantastic. Its a great car. Quote
mini59dons Posted May 20, 2012 Report Posted May 20, 2012 I think I'm about to invest in this.... http://www.carsales.com.au/Gallery.aspx?R=12552727&index=0&track=IMAGEVIEWER&h_mid=4415219&f_mid=0&c_mid=4414495&TabId=304736 4 Litres, 6 Cylinders, 2 seats!! Quote
