Don't know the exact cost as I ordered it with quite a few bits but it was £270 , plus postage from Japan plus import tax and handling fee so about 350-400 once in the uk

Not got any other pics at the mo as only had it a couple of weeks but I'm going to a meet tomorrow so will get some then

The wheel looks really smart, what rear diffuser have you fitted any pics? also what boost gauge is it? it blends in well with the clocks.

Well my new turbo from EngineTuner has arrived, it's a Turbo Technics T36 with the larger exhaust housing from a T38 to allow it to hold boost for longer.

So it's a hybrid unit which should be far better suited to the 2.5 litre engine and being a relatively unknown turbo to Subaru owners will hopefully surprise with the figures achieved.

These are really cost effective units when compared to the Scoobyclinic Blouch units being 'only' £1080, this means they are a good amount cheaper than their competition.

The turbo comes with all the oil and coolant lines plus banjo unions etc and of course is a standard location fitment.

Those DAMD steering wheels are really lovely. Proper meaty feel to them, been on my wishlist for ages.

Would not recommend the carbon ones, I doubt they'd fit in too well with the interior unless you've got a lot of carbon on show.

Just had a look at the damd steering wheels, well worth the money IMO. The red stitching looks so much better than the carbon one.

What are your opinions of the BC racing coilovers guys? I keep seeing them pop up on various forums, seems that they are the best coilover if you are on a budget?

Had a set on my hawk and to be honest couldn't fault them for the money ,, one thing to do though is copper slip everything well when you fit them as they have been know to seize up over time ,,, I'd happily buy another set

Thats good to know, I was looking at the BR series in particular. Just shyof £700. There are a few different types of coilover though isn't there?
