Great to meet a few of you at the Toby last week. Mine was the very much standard (apart from prodrive exhaust and k&n filter MY98).

Seeking some advice on exactly what clutch to go for and where to buy....not planning on going for too much more power so a standard Exedy one?

Also spoke to a few of you about front splitters? A version 6 I think I want; does anyone have any ideas of where to pick one of these up from?!

Cheers all,

Dan

I was also in the standard mica blue parked out of the way :Suspiciou

Just had mine delivered today from Scoobyparts - Subaru Impreza parts and accessories (http://www.scoobyparts.com). I only ordered it on saturday evening - excellent service!

Oh and welcome by the way from a fellow newbie :luxhello:

Ref the clutch have a word with David from API and he could also advise on a lightened fly wheel plus they will fit as well :thumb: It's not a bad run quite a few of us have used API for various bits n pieces from rebuilds to servicing and gearboxes.

You can also try Andy at Ace Motorsport in Newbridge but he has a lot on at the moment so may be difficult to get hold of but it's another option locally..... 01495244555

I found the cheapest place to get an STI6 front lip spoiler was a actually from a main dealer (CVC)
Here are the part numbers and prices from 2006 when i ordered mine:

57796FA530NN - Spoiler x 1 @ £92.63
57728AC090 - Bumper Clip x 2 @ £0.66 = £1.32
57798FA100 - Protector x 1 @ £22.64 - Nobody seems to order this part as it's not needed
57728FA080 - Screw Grommet x 9 @ £0.47 = £4.23
904560009 - Screw x 9 @ £0.18 = £1.62

Total of £99.80+vat = £117.26

The protector is apprantly a piece of rubber that sits between the spoiler and the bumper.:thumb:

I just opted for the standard Exedy clutch, on the advise of a well known mapper. I was advised to buy the larger of the 2 sizes, as my car had the early smaller clutch. Cost was £200 and theres no jumping or ferocity on pulling off as is often the case with uprated versions, and it copes with the power just fine. If you have the smaller clutch on yours, to fit the larger clutch you need to have your existing flywheel skimmed or alternativly you can buy one already skimmed from David at API and they offer an exchange system, so you can send yours to them after fitting and have money off. Speak to David at API Engines to confirm this. :)

im not sure what clutch would be on mine mate as a MY98 i think - altho with the older style bumper and grill? the guy I have lined up to do the clutch hadnt heard of this small/large debate either. are we thinking my car might have the large already? man i hate being such a dumbass with all this.....

I'm not sure when they changed to be honest mate, i have a 93 so the earliest Impreza. I'll post up a question in the general technical section for you. There are definatly 2 different sizes tho, something like a 225mm and 230mm. :wonder:

apprently you can fit the 230mm to all year impreza with no problem, think the smaller 225mm are 93-96 :thumb:

Cheers Dean :thumb:

dean and taylor..... legends... cheers both!!

sorry to go on about these things, but are we sure the sti6 splitter will definately fit to my bumper.... its an older style early 98 one?

also what colour do they come unpainted from the main dealer as I think I might have to live with it in (hopefully) black for a while.

Cheers.

Does your car look like this ?

They come in Black, they will match with your sideskirts if they are not painted.

If u have the older style front bumper (version 4) then the V6 splitter won't fit they only fit V5/6 front bumpers. 1998 was the year it changed so depneds weather you have a version 4 or 5, if your bumper looks like Si's in the above pic then it will fit.

Check out this page for front lips available for 93-98 and 98-00, the version 4 STI lip is nice for the earlier cars :thumb:

right hopefully you can see my car on my profile now!! damn shame about that sti6 splitter... really like that one... sti4 is a bit too chunky for me... any other suggestions?!

cheers all!

That's the earlier version bumper you have there... you could always drop a later bumper on it is an option.

dont think im ready for the more extreme options yet what with the clutch change too... so im a v4 bumper yeah?
