Hopefully not...the gearbox would probably last a wee bit longer, but I've got a trackday up here before Brands, then a test day at Brands just before Time Attack, so don't know if it will last for all of that, so changing it over as a precaution

Gearbox - these clips came out attached to the drain plug :O
Anyone suggest what they used to clip onto? Something to do with 4th gear for sure!

Some pics of the knackered exhaust. There is something very loose in the centre silencer... and thats ignoring the fact its only 2.25" compared to the pipework at 3.5" either side  That should release some top end horses when replaced with 3"+ all the way 
More noise though

SUMO Power. A wee bit of discount. Could have gone with an EBAY special but thought fuckit, time is short and cant be arsed paying twice if fit and noise arent quite right. Bizzare buying exhaust that are big (3"+ bore) but need them to be silent.
Jr - friday 25th I think. TA on Sunday.

you'd need to get to Aberdeen, run it in, then get to Brands, then get the car home.
Expensive shot

which one 
The wet day yeah?
It's prob about 70% wont make it at the moment. Even if the job is done and dusted its will take a few days (prob 3) to get home from here.
RA Developments - Never heard of them. What does the car look like? (only TA Subaru regular in Scotland is Scott Robson's red 4dr classic)

It's blue with pink features, wheels, bumper lip. Has a wide arch kit big spoiler. Basically looks like a TA car but never seen it about anywhere. Here's their website although it's down at the minute, can't see much on the forums about them either.

in perth going by the area code.
Nope... not heard or seen anything like what you have described. If it doesnt have TA stickers I doubt it'll be doing any TA rounds in 2010.
