Im a massive fan of southpark, i didnt really get it when i was younger, just the rude words etc. But now i watch it and its just mental, F'in Hillarious! Never really got family guy, its quite funny but just seems a bit random at times, suppose i just need to get into it!

Sounds like a fault code to me?

Also remember that when you are on track, as your tyres warm up, along with the air inside them it expands to create a higher pressure. You could reasonable expecta further 3 or 4psi through expansion so watch your self there...

Sounds like its missing overdrive, or when its trying to change into overdrive its slipping. If you use partial throttle, but let it accelerate, does it climb up through the gears? (Actually sounds like its kicking down into the wrong gear more than anything) Possibly worth checking the fluid and filters for the autobox maybe also worth an autobox ecu diagnostic see if any codes are coming from the transmission, failing those id say the 'box was about the buy the farm as it were.

They had one on top gear a while back as well, really lovely things!

nice boats! Have you been watching "the island"?

Welcome, hope to see you at some of the North wests meets! See the events section for any future events.

the P1 is now getting on a bit, 8 or so years old, problems are starting to be highlighted, as with all classics subaru boxer engines they are prone to piston slap on number 3 due to excessive wear from oil starvation. Which is a rebuild time, but the P1's i believe are notouriously bad, which i dont tihnk is wholey the cars fault, most of them have had a hard life! Personally if you wanted a scoob id go for as new as possible, uk sti, similar power to the P1, little bit heavier but much newer (for 10k or so anyway, which will get you an average P1) theyve got more toys, and look better and of course are far more practical. Also, ive been told in the past that the engine in the classic (which a p1 basically is) was a prety much standard 2.0 boxer engine which subaru simply bolted a turbo to the side of. The engines (and turbos) in the later cars are actually much better both in design and build, and dont suffer so much from the problems. Put it this way, ever seen a standard bug eye/eagle eye broken down? I know i havnt! Ever seen a classic on the side of the motorway?? I know i have!

the issue with your front brake hoses, what has caused that? Is that braided lines - my braided lines dont have the original clips, is that why yours has failed?

Did i hear somewhere that its now a 50mph speed limit on the spanish motorways and 25mph in towns?? Looks nice mate, you settling in okay? I know i complain about this country but im not sure i could live anywhere else. I dont think i could cope with it, too much of a culture shock! So whos up for a meet in spain??

Theres an enourmous grey table with a broken front bumper behind yours on that one, couldnt you have cropped that out?? Spoils the picture! :D

LOL... thats some extreme leakage! I had a small leak the other day which turned out to be the stock boost guage sender had split, could hear the hissing in the engine bay at idle , was driving me mad looking for it until i found it by chance when poking about! Had split on the connector so would only hold -7psi and + 7 psi.... some gaffa tape and a minute later and were back at -14 at idle (when warm) and +12 on boost :D

I know how you feel! Never had anyone respond ;(

Just near the leisure centre (arena thing??) Kings gate is it? (north gate perhaps) at about 11 ish. Was white on a G plate (Gxx UMW) had a front mount i think and an aftermarket front bumper. Targas off as well! :cool:

ahhh... was it one of those gyroscope mice?? I had some of them in the shop at one point they were awesome! Expensive though!

Grand job mate - must remember to bring a flask. Its been ages since ive been to haigh - used to drive steam engines on the raised track there when i was a wee lad! Many memories of the place!

nice! I was rather hopeing one of those would be around for me to have "quiet time" with.

I have always wondered this, - like all cars the zed has a low oil pressure warning light - so whats the point in the gauge?? There is a light to tell me when there is actualy a problem?? I know you could argue that knowing the actual amount of oil pressure is benneficial - i tend not to bother looking at mine somtimes it works, other times it just randomly goes to 0 mid journy... car keeps going so i assume there must be some pressure left!

lol, ahh i think its quite funny. The guy must have a sence of humour! Nice car - if only money was no object id have it in an instant... Fancy going halfs mike?? :D

There has been quite a few done in the states i think, perhaps worth looking on us forums as well for their input (be wary of there claimed power outputs though ;) )

There is a company offering turbo charged M5's with a rear setup! Mainly for heat reasons i think.... heated boot floor anyone?? :D

still missing the rear bumper ;) Hehe - pete i know youve just bought another car, yours must still be in the garage, in its multicoloured format! I must admit, it does look odd now since im so used to it being multicoloured - i did actually rather like the white skirts on the red car did look quite cool! Top work mate!

well the valve might be sticking or full of crap, or maybe its gone knackered. Im not sure really, i understand what it does i think, but now how it works! lol

Yours will be a dirty NA though... ;) hehe I'd very much like one, but the 10k plus would be my TVR/house deposit (havnt made a decision yet!) sooo cant really buy another zed with it!

Id say it'll probably try and sit at base idle??? About 675rpm isnt it?
