call me capt. sensible, I went for the Yoko AD08's as a good all rounder. surely 888's will start inducing stress on components on lightly modded impreza's? Problems with oil in breathers etc? Chassis etc?

still learning Scooby stuff. used to run slicks on my m3 (road tyres lasted about 3 or 4 laps of brands) had to do some chassis mods and did have a cage fitted.

Didn't realise you'd found the time to sort out some track rubber too!

555_Si 18-05-2013 11:08 PM

yeah I have been 24*7 on the Scoob this week. Pleased with the tyres as got them for £465 ish fitted (225/45/17). 888's were going to be a lot more and I would have had to fit them, that would have taken me 2 days in itself and I am rubbish at fitting tyres.

Cheers for that, hold that thought for now as I am still deciding what to do. I'm probably just going to stick the correct 24mm bar in for now and be done with it. Am started to get fed up with working and spending money on the car at the moment, so may do the wider rear suspension next year.

worries - you can have the lot for free if it helps you out

BIG"E" 19-05-2013 10:27 AM

Is it just me or is anyone else on the trip waking at up silly o'clock ?

Today is a lazy day but I was wide awake at 05.45. :lol:

Steve_PPP 19-05-2013 10:51 AM

Not a chance, i couldn't even drag my backside out of bed at 9am after being on my feet all day yesterday. Must be getting old ;)

Getting up at 4am on Friday is going to hurt!

555_Si 19-05-2013 11:09 AM

only just crawled out of bed!

I felt really tired today had to be up at 6 for work! Was worth it though at least I can leave a bit later on Friday than some :smile:

Hongkongfooi 19-05-2013 07:16 PM

Five more sleeps:doubleup:

Kerstin 22-05-2013 05:31 AM

Wishing you all a fantastic trip, guys. :smile: Will keep my fingers crossed for the weather being better than the forecast. :nod: I wish I would live nearer so that I could come and see you. Anyway, stay safe and have loads of fun everybody. xxx :doubleup::doubleup::)

Anger 22-05-2013 10:10 PM

It's mad that on the official site it says Saturday morning could be minus4 with sleet or snow and last year I burnt to a crisp...

Hope the weather changes for the better for you guys

Frenchie 23-05-2013 07:12 AM

Early nights all round me thinks, sleeping is a different matter though.:nod:

Spocks Beard 23-05-2013 08:47 AM

Sunday morning is looking like snow again but it changes so much. Saturday and Monday look alright, theres the odd shower but the rainfall is so low (less than 0.5mm) that it won't last long.

After hooning round Goodwood in the rain, i'm not fussed - these cars are made for it and it'll be a laugh overtaking some RWD supercars that are struggling to put the power down :drive:

exactly, not fussed about the rain going round. just dont want it spectating. taking brolley and waterproofs anyway

Spocks Beard 23-05-2013 10:03 AM

It's a bit different out there though Steve. It's still slippy, just because of the idiots who drop fluids on the track regularly. It'll be better on normal road tyres for sure, 888's could be a huge waste of time and petrol getting them there though.

I honestly hope it changes for you, it did for us :ok:

I think you'll find everyone was invited on the trip we did, you just chose not to join us.

:kicknuts::wink:

Claire_PPP 23-05-2013 02:27 PM

I haven't a clue what to pack. I've got everything laid out on the bed from vest tops, shorts and tshirts to long sleeved tops, jeans and full on thick wooly jumpers. I'm fairly sure half of it will come back unworn, I just hope I don't need the ski jacket I'm taking!

SpecB 23-05-2013 02:47 PM

If its cold enough for ski jackets I'm staying in the car!

SpecB 23-05-2013 02:52 PM

I'll take this forecast though!
