Fremont - going by the zip code it looks like california. i'll see if the contact i had is still around and get you a price.

6 months! that's no good.

what about contacting this company? i know they're not the time attack version but still p1. they might be able to get you impreza fitment.

right, spoke to someone else that i know who is in transport and he said that the freight could run into the hundred and then they'd have to be packed properly to avoid damage. then when in this country you'd have to add on customs charges, duty and vat. so could work out to be very expensive.

i'll see if i can get hold of the other company that i used to use.

Okay heres another problem

Turns out that KW have stopped making the Variant 3 in its current format. They're being redesigned with remote reservoirs like the clubsport dampers.
This is great news as they will be a better damper but the bad news is i have to wait till August for them to be ready



Unless they have a set of clubsports in stock... i'll just pay the extra and have them instead.

Well i finally have it back,

The brakes are awesome although as suspected the DS2500 pads are dogsh!t. Got them to fade after only 2 decent stops.

For some reason we're yet to fnd out that my car wont make any more than 1.4bar of boost, was holding at least 1.5 before the new injectors.

So theres still more to come.

Just nice to drive it for a change. Paintwork is dire and in need of some PC work

But al last i can drive it again

Cheers for everything Zak.. and Carryann for putting up with me

gotta be worth keeping just for the fact that they protect the sides from stones and lots of extra dirt?
