Thanks Dave, no problem I will get it picked up soon.

Restraint, what's that?

I know and if circumstances had been different then it would be on my drive right now, never mind I have a nice collection of parts waiting to be fitted to it to make up for that.

I have just ordered a Subimods Hella Supertone Horn install kit, it keeps the frond end looking good due to the uniform spacing of the horns.

You get a mounting bracket plus an adaptor loom to keep it all looking OE and neat and tidy.

Plus of course I ordered a set of horns as well but this time from the UK.

Ok you got me, I've not owned or driven an FSTI. I'm sure the FSTI is much better than my FSTB was but you can't fight physics, for my driving style it was just not focussed enough, but we're comparing different models and i'm making assumptions, so I shall bow to your superior knowledge.

We can however agree that Wagons rule.

I got sent these pics yesterday of my new wheels, OK I haven't even got the car yet but the wheels I think will look great on the car.

I think they're the best looking wheels for the Hatchback STi plus in by far the best colour as well.

Plus of course I'm picking the car up in Friday as well.





I'm really looking forward to this week, my deliveries from Japan and America are already in the UK and might be with be tomorrow, there's nothing like opening up deliveries of goodies.

That's a nice looking wheel!! They'll look great on the car

Top choice of wheels there I think they will really set the car off with all the other goodies you have already bought
What colour are they would they be charcoal anthracite?

Look forward to seeing it in the flesh now though

Thanks Dave, I think the design of the wheel really suit the angular lines of the Hatchback.

Cannon Fodder

iTrader: (100)

I'm sure that they're in Anthracite but there's so little difference in colour that they could be Gunmetal as well.

I love this wheel colour as it masks brake pad dust as well, so it's a win win.

Not too long to go now, tomorrow I have an early start to take the S202 up to Preston to it's new owner, have a spot of late lunch, then catch a train to Euston Station, London then a taxi ride to Fenchurch Street Station and catch another train across to Rainham.

Pick up the Hatch STi and then take a leisurely drive back home, I hope to be leaving Essex around 8.00pm so I won't be home until the early hours of Saturday.

Thanks Craig, it's all the average speed cameras that are the problem around the M25 and part way down the M4.

Don't worry where ever possible I'll put the pedal to the metal.

Good luck ty enjoy it I love the first drive home. Just to let you know I do some work in Essex and at 20.00 I can do it in 2 half hours but your another hour on from me. Shame you haven't got the burble yet there's a few tunnels on your way home only short ones but good all the same. Get the pics up on the weekend hope it all goes to plan

Thanks Daz, I'm expecting it to take around 4-5 hours as I think I'll hit traffic on the M25 plus I'm not in a race to get home.

I'll give it a good clean on Sunday and post up some pics.

I've taken a fancy to a JDM hatch as well, they are slowly growing more and more on me, all your fault big D

Everything went well yesterday, dropped the S202 off to its new owner in Preston, caught the train down to London, caught a cab across to the next train station, caught the next train to Rainham without issue.

It was only when I called Chris to say I couldn't find him that it dawned on me that I was in the wrong county, I needed to be in Rainham in Kent and not Essex where I'd gone.

Luckily they aren't that far apart so Chris came and picked me up, we got down to his place a lot later than we'd planned as a result.

The drive home was a little treacherous on the English side of the journey due to torrential downpours in places plus the resultant standing water but the car coped well with it all.

I left her in I mode for most of the journey and used sport sharp mode for the occasional stretch of road just to see what the difference really is and it's marked in the throttle response and speed pickup.

I've not taken any pics yet as I want to give her a good clean first plus I haven't long risen as I didn't get home until 02.10 this morning.

big daz2

How did you get Kent and Essex mixed up lol. Glad it went well ty are u pleased or undecided.

Craig you won't be disappointed I'm in love with mine and even looking at 330s to replace mine but weather I can afford it rather than mod mine. I need to go out in yours ty to see the difference I know yours is an Sti but not a lot of difference with 330s and Sti can't wait to see pics

Thanks Jay, I do plan on keeping this one as I have already bought so many goodies for it.

Yes all back without issue, it was pretty treacherous in places but the car just ploughed on regardless.

Yes the drive back was good, I was pretty tired by the time I got home but I did make a midway stop at Leigh Delamare services to get a drink and stretch my legs.

Yes the car goes very well indeed, the Hatchback looks have grown on me as well as when I first saw them I really didn't like them all those years ago.

But drive one and you will know why the owners like them so much.

I really like the car Daz, the drive home was great and the car just breezed through all the water like it wasn't even there.

You are more than welcome to have a drive of mine Daz, I would say that if you are going to modify it then the standard STi is the best option for the same reason as I didn't do too much to the S202 as modifying a special or limited edition model will rob it of value.

big daz2

Yea good point. If I could of seen an Sti for the money I had I would of had it. Bloody hell Ian £6600 for a hatch is a bargain I thought mine was good at £7k but you shave some off that it's a bargain

I think you need to add up how much your going to spend Daz and is it going to worth anymore money when you come to sell it?? We all know how much you can spend on a few mods, from what I've spent on mine I could of bought a much newer version. So when you add it all up a 330s becomes a viable option and from the vibes I'm picking up from you it could only be a matter of time.
