Why've I dropped of the list? I'll most probably be there but 10 is a bit early! Location question also on Southern meets.

Ken left this morning, so he has arrived and is probably polishing his car, and then having a burn on the M25, watch out Ken for the Speed Cameras

Great to meet you guys!

Lovely to see 4 555 Editions



Also gave me a chance to work out what extras mine had done in Jap Land

My spreadsheet has never looked so good!

Have a look!

Great day, thanks to all who turned up. Great to meet you all, perhaps with more time we can get an even bigger group for early next year. So is your car a genuine 555 Adam, I can't remember what the conclusion was.

More pictures of the meet and another 555 STI

Yep a 100% 555 - thanks to you guys for all your help

After speaking with Mark the previous owner (he bought the horse along!) the gearbox may also be different - something about a Group N??

Andy will need to test - maybe we can run alongside each one night this coming week?

If not then the Ace Cafe would be a good chance in two weeks mate

No Problem Adam, Group N gear box sounds good. It sounded nice when you pulled away.

I get home from work fairly late during school days, but give us a ring.

Don'y know much about a group N box, it may be what they call a dog box, meant to be stronger.

Hiya Pete!

Nice to see you mate - will have to meet again and go for a burn..

Defo those Bembo brakes - looked the business didn't they?

Would be great if we could work our what the 'C' option was - Ken's theory on the airiel was knocked out but I'm sure we could work it out with yours, mine and Andy's motors

Great day - great fun - sorry I had to shoot early - promised the misses shopping but enjoyed the drive back home with a big smile on my face!

Will do ! that is if I get to see it myself !
got 3 people interested in it and one who keeps uping his price everytime I see him

Give us a shout if you go to another meet ! Got the bug now and thinking about a track day also !!!!!!!1

When that fella gets his STi 5 going to see it ! Mind you thats only because the owner of the place has a rally car out the back thats been sat for a year with a blown engine and hoping to twist his arm to get him to sell it to me ( if the price is right )
could be a good project with lots of things done to it !!
Possible Mica Blue with 555 grafic because Kens car looked the dogs danglies in the flesh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also I have just had an email for a guy called Andy Brown - he too has an version 2 555 Edition and has heavily modded it - looks absolutely gorgeous!!

Clicky

He states that only 100 version 2 555 Editions were produced - I guess we will never really know for sure!

Yeah traffic was heavy but nevermind - worth it anyway and thanks for the DVD etc - I will drop it back sometime soon

Pete - Andy and I went for burn on Sunday to test gear ratios - think we kinda forgot about that and had a bit fun testing power instead !!

As for cabin noise - its not too bad - not like a BMW of course but bearable - next time we meet I'll take you for spin if you want and see what you think - You mentioned about sound proofing yours but is it really that loud? Maybe some heavier mats would help?

Hi Pete, Adam took me out for a spin in his, it feels quicker when you are a passenger.

I am sure that you can get pictures up, its easy, if I can do it, you can, I am from Cornwall you know. I will try and put some more up tomorrow. Hope Ken has a safe journey home.
