Lucky 02-03-2013 10:31 AM

SpecB 02-03-2013 04:18 PM

I think they looked better the original colour, tell you what you could swap them for mine! ;)

Lucky 02-03-2013 04:21 PM

Yup, very nice :10:

majorscooby 02-03-2013 04:38 PM

That's next on the list. A set of Tein S-Tech's as they worked well on the Hawk.

Ill bring the scoob over tomo so you can see again how it sits. Although mine is on 17" wheels.

Type-r-russ 02-03-2013 08:22 PM

Looks very nice mate

They came out a treat

SUBARMAN 03-03-2013 12:24 PM

Very nice Scott!!

:SMBLU:

majorscooby 03-03-2013 02:52 PM

I've seen them in the flesh today and I WANT THEM!!!! Soooo mint.

Scott.T 29-03-2013 02:34 PM

Well yesterday I spent the day (it wasn't supposed to take all day) fitting my wideband Lambda probe, LC-1 controller and DB Green Gauge.

http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/p.../DBKit_ALL.jpg

I did have this in the car previously (although with a difference style gauge) but stripped it out when I sold it.
To fit the probe meant taking the intercooler off to remove the exhaust bung and replace with the probe.

Did this want to come out...did it f.......
Allen key head kept slipping out, to the point it became a round hole.
Mole grips had nothing to grip, so out with the grinder.
Even after grinding some flats on it, it still wouldn't budge.

I started to think that maybe when the guy that fitted it (as I previously plugged it with a dead lambda) had cross threaded the bung.

Oh well time to take the downpipe off and run it out to Tones and let a paid mechanic have a go......worst case being maybe cut'n'weld a new probe boss on or even get another decat downpipe......
A simple job ended up with the downpipe having to come off.

Once off it got a bit more 'heavy' grinding on the garage floor, back as fat as the copper washer.
I then wacked the allen key socket in the end and hey presto, out it came.
It only took from 9:00am to nearly 12:00pm to get to a position where the probe could be fitted.......what fun I was having........

I was so pleased it came out, I just had to photograph it.
No need for a trip out to Tone's now.......

From there in, it all went to plan although the wiring and looming of the LC-1 and Gauge took longer then expected.
I also took the opportunity to fit the Knock Sensor and KS3 Knock display wiring in, but can't yet decide where to fit the KS3.
The DB Green gauge worked on the trial connection, but now has what I think an error condition displayed. So I probably pulled a wire off while looming/running it through. I'll leave that for another day when my patience resumes.........

SpecB 29-03-2013 02:40 PM

Took me ages to fit the KS3 they are exactly the wrong size/shape for any of the neat places!

Agree. It's a nice unit but why have they put the connections on the side for all to see. Would be much better if they connected from the rear.

SpecB 29-03-2013 03:19 PM

The main issue I had was access for the jog wheel on the side, otherwise I'd have put it inside the air vent, I used a vent mount and ran the cable up through the vent instead.
Newage of course but it should still work on a classic:

For a minute there I thought you had bought another scoob!


Nice properly shaped cover! Could do with one of those for mine as it still gets dust and bits on it even though it is garaged.

Scooby_Greg 04-04-2013 05:19 PM

I've heard about those quick fingers!

Looks a quality cover and a good fit Scott - nice purchase.

Scott.T 07-04-2013 09:12 PM

My most exciting modifications yet....an STI Space saver.
The Brembo's have only been on about 7 years, so thought it time I got a space saver that would manage to fit over them.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9...ps2369eddf.jpg

Initially I didn't think it were any different to the classic's yellow one, as the depth looked about the same. Turn's out though it's a much larger diameter, hence how it clears the calipers.

Scott.T 07-04-2013 09:14 PM

Intercooler Spray switches to replace my after market switches used on my DIY intercooler spray (See thread here : http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...hread.php?t=31)
Will be nice to at last have the 'Auto' switch which illuminates to tell me it's on.

bonner 07-04-2013 10:13 PM

that ic mod you done was ideal wouldnt mind having ago myself but dealing with electrics isnt my thing!! might just go hardcore on the rainex and use the washer bottle!! would be good for now it might be a prob in the summer with all the dust ect

SpecB 08-04-2013 06:51 AM

Keep thinking of fitting an I/C spray to mine but not sure on the value on a FMIC

Wouldnt bother unless you have money to burn & time on your hands :D

Scott.T 20-04-2013 07:38 AM

A bit of a refresh under the arches, and change from Eibach Sport Spings to Tein S-Tech.

SpecB 20-04-2013 07:42 AM

I want those wheels!!!!!!! Looks really nice under there and that's my next job. Each wheel off and a good old clean up.

majorscooby 21-04-2013 06:42 PM

Did my fronts again today just to brighten things up. What do you use to refresh yours Scott, brush and a tin or a rattle can?

scotty 21-04-2013 07:50 PM

A brush and masking tape for the plastics and hoses and lay it on as thick as possible.

It used to be my daily drive and the previous underside pics are when it was used up until April 2011.
But since buying it back, in October 2012, it's become a real garage queen.

What do you use to clean the underneath? I'll be doing mine when I know what to use and when I've got the right stuff. Please anyone
