Cheers Mike.
Bit of a coincidence you had to put a biker in his place cause i had the same this afternoon. Even with a dodgy clutch. Coming off a roundabout on the outskirts of aberdeen a bandit600 came right up my ****. Nailed the go go pedal and surprised myself that i was pulling away from him. He gave me a wave when i let him past down the road. Very sporting.lol

 

Any idea as to which springs to put on mine to lower it? It has the Pink Sti springs on at the moment.

 

my new 99 typera STi 555 limited edition

what you think ?

 

not exactly a type r, but hey welcome anyway, wont be long before you want rid of the rear doors!!

 

Would have loved to get the TypeR but rear doors needed for the wee man !!

 

no worries, top motor anyway!!

 

I think a lot of people use Eibachs with the STi dampers, but from what I remember, they only lower by about 20mm.

 

the eibachs i have on my car looks very std in ride hight but i've been told that the ride is quite nice, not too firm. thinking about changing mine in the future, for somthing a little lower, whiteline do some that dop between 30-50mm which are tarmac springs, not too bothered about a had ride as it is a performance car. if you have a look near the start of this thread you'll see my car posted by the previous owner "what would scooby do" amd that should show you the ride hight

JUST BROUGHT MY SUBARU IMPEAZA STI TYPE R V6
WILL HAVE PIC SOON
WATCH THIS SPACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Nice one mate

I know you must be excited about it but THERE'S NO NEED TO SHOUT

(caps lock on = shouting )

Tell us a bit more then... whats the spec ?

And yes, we def need pictures....

 

Does anyone know if the pink STI springs on a Version 6 are lower than a standard Impreza and if so by how much? Need to lower it but need to know how much lower it is at the moment if it is at all.

 

My new front




I Will try get some good pics soon..

 

Just been up to Wales today to collect my new car.

Lots of mods lined up and waiting to go on too - watch this space.

 

Looks like the one my mate was going to buy, was it in bridgend you bought it from?

simb

 

The pink springs should be approximately 10mm lower than a Uk model, so say an Eibach kit will not lower it significantly if at all.

Tony.

PS Hows that for constrcutive and nice

 

any of you guys like VOLKs Te-37`s im trying to sell mine - as the type R is converted for track use

 

Cheers Tone so the Tein springs with a 28-30mm drop would be better

 

No, it was from a bloke in Gilfach (Abergavenny area???).

 

Powerjunkie.... im loving those morettes

 

Got the pink ones on mine and its definetly lower than others ive seen. I'll try and get some pics up if you want mate.

 

Ive got the pink springs myself but want to go lower.

 

When i bought mine (peccys old motor) i was told that they were lower than the standard v6 sti springs but still an sti part. Dont know if thats true or not.

 

Not sure our trackcar is on here so here it is anyway.











R.B

 

Tone Loc says 10mm lower.

 

Sound. I think that if mine was any lower i'd be scraping over kerbs due to still being on the 16" Rays! Gonna have to change to bigger rims soon anyway cause i dont think the std brakes are really up to the job. Think the car empty's my bank balance more than a wife would!lol. Still, puts a bigger grin on my face and does what its told!

 

im lost, have type r, mica black, about to start modding (current totally standard) i keep reading that the scooby is best with a direct panel filter replecment, but nearly every review i read in magazines the scoobies have an induction kit? any ideas . any recommendations for exhaust system?

thanks for any help

 

I would stick with the panel filter as it is a better design for intakes. i have had to go for a induction kit because I have fitted a front mount intercooler. and it requires the space that the airbox was in.

 

My new toy. V4 standard except for wheels

 

A learned modding guru type friend of mine says: 'Subaru invest thousands on technicians working to get things like air filters working optimally, then you go and put a K&N 57i on which is oil impregnated for one and secondly induces lag'.

I can vouch for this personally, I have had 2type Rs, the 1st came with induction which sounded great but did indeed suffer from lag.

My current car I have left airbox standard. In fact only mods I have done are a forge re-circ dumpvalve, lightened pulleys and full decat. My BHP is up at 307.
