You better get that covered with clear film to keep it there another great addition for a great car

 

Bit of a sad case i'm afraid to say, i use Auto Glym, to polish, shampoo, interior shampoo, glass cleaner.... you name it i pretty much use it, the only thing of Auto Glym i don't use is the tyre dress, i think thats crap, and use Turtle Wax Wet 'N' Dry

 

Noticed your two photos differed with the head lights, what have you got at the mo, Twins spots, or standard HD.
I was tempted to get the Twins for mine but i can't make up my mind. The Crystal HD's look good, but so do the Twins.....What to do aaaaarrrrgggghhh

 

Morrettes then you can do this

 

Yeah i do like that, i also quite like the the little scoop that replaces the o/s vent?, you know the one?

 

I have the Morettes on at the mo. The Crystals where not very bright.

 

whats the fastest as standered p1 or rb5

 

P1

 

i think the RB5 is a uk wrx [240bhp-ish] with fancy bumpers, wing and cool grey colour.
where as the p1 is an sti [280bhp] also with fancy bumper and wing.

 

friend of mine just purchased w plate 2 door ver 6 (roof vented) in blue, it has gold 18's and is THE BEST ONE IVE EVER SEEN

car was purchased from newcastle area

anyone off here?

 

Was that in the auto trader about 3 months ago ?

 

possibly, he bought it from auto trader, seller wanted 14000 but got it for less. i cannot describe in words how mint the car is

 

Piccys of my car at JAE 2005............... 2.5...


Joe.....

 

just made a right bloody mess on my keyboard!! cheers joe

 

How you finding the car with the 2.5?

 

The P1 is not an STi as it was built in the UK by Prodrive (albeit initially manufactured by Subaru in Japan.)

STis are all handbuilt in Japan.

 

The STI 8 Intercooler is in Tight fit so Carbon brace needs to go, but the Whiteline just fits



Better pics when the battery isnt dead

 

No Turbo heatshield

 

was your V8 intercooler hard to fit?

How have you stopped your red engine paint flaking?

 

Blimey, didnt realise there was such a difference in size between them. You putting it on the rollers at wallace to find out the change in bhp/lbs'ft?

 

Take it at face value for **** sake, equivalent!!!!, just like the RB5 is not a WRX, it's a LTD ED UK Version

 

I have one ready to go on, I didn't get the bracket.

Russell (WUZ Sn name) of BHP Developments fitted it, It is quit a tight fit, I still have to mod the scoop under tray and the right bracket.

I am getting a remap next week and hope to get over 330bhp.

As for the paint I just clean it carefully

 

Ah ya b*gger! Your not giving anything away!
My Type-R came from Singapore so all that heat made the paint flake before I got it.

Does anybody know where I can get that exact paint from?

It would be interesting to know how much of an improvement the STI V8 intercooler makes. Let us know as soon as mate.

Pity you had to ditch the STi carbon strutbrace, cause it looks the business!!!!

 

As far as I know you can't get the exact paint, your find as the mileage creeps up on most sooner or later they will all go the same way.

Speak to Scoobyclinic or Api engines as they both can cater for a simular coating and colour. I think scoobyclinic's is £150 on exchange.

Went to T&C today to get new rollers/felt for the impending replacement of my door glass and the guy said i would be looking at around £100 for both doors!!!! Anyone know if im getting bumped or can point me in the right direction?

 

Ok Here are some better Pics, I still need to level up the brackets but nearly there.


Oops I broke a bolt How do I remove it??


I can already feel more midrange pull but nothing more at the top-end yet, but the Remap will sort that out.

Also Got some Kick Plates which I think are nice

 

Is it a hard job in getting the Sti 8 intercooler to fit?

Whats involved mate?

simb

 

Kick plates are nice. Very similar to mine.

 

Just got quoted £158 for window stabalizers for both doors inc 4 plastic clips for the boot interior from T&C.

 

Just get the fronts tinted you dont notice the scratches that much then
