My K-Sport 330mm 6 pot rear brakes have finally been fitted after getting the wrong kit first time around, fitting went fine apart from a couple of bolts that were a bit too long (nothing a blunt hacksaw blade couldn't fix )

Also fitted Ferodo 2500 brake pads front & rear as the standard pads supplied with these kits aren't really up to the job when doing track days, even though i've got to bed the pads in they already feel a lot better and can't wait to use them in anger

 

Bling

 

Oh yes

 

lookin guuurd, k sports all round is a winner

 

Must say a big thank you to Paul at Zen who had a fiddle with the car today and it runs much better , doesn't stall anymore and he adjusted the off boost running a bit which has made it feel much smoother

Also had a catch can fitted with a drain to sump kit

Just need the turbo now to round things off

 

Done a couple of little mods over the last few weeks

1. gone back to the original WRX bonnet scoop as the STi one is not needed now with the FMIC

2. used the original o/s fog light surround for a cold air feed for the APS induction kit, not sure what it's gonna be like when it rains though, might also do the n/s one as well as i think it looks a bit one sided the way it is at the moment

 

RCM reverse scoop

Foglamp cover looks cool but not sure it's stealth enough?

 

Decided against the reverse scoop, so how can i make it more stealthy then???

 

I think it'll look better with a pair of wrx fog light covers...that the way i'm going

 

get a GL bonnet

 

Yeah thats what i'm thinking, and put a oil cooler behind the n/s one

 

Did think about that but i think a scooby needs a bonnet scoop

 

edited for accuracy

 

Good idea

 

 

my favourite edit ever I think

 

Did another mod to the car the other day although i didn't intend to lol, managed to rip off one of my mudflaps when parking at work so time for a change, one off all off so the car is now mudflapless

 

^bet it looks even more stealthy

 

Yes and less weight as it took a couple of small bits out of the bumper but only on the lip so you can't really see it

 

Well had the MD321S fitted yesterday and a Simtek with anti lag & launch control fitted and mapped by JGM today, had a little problem with a sensor but a couple of phone calls later (cheers Eureka) and that was sorted

Managed to get 432bhp & 380ft lbs at 1.5 bar, they did try 1.7 bar but something was holding the car back which wouldn't let it release any more power, after talking to Simon & Charlie it seems the the exhaust (still a 2.5" system) could be the problem so it looks like i'm after a full 3" system now

Haven't really had a chance to test it yet but the car does seem a lot smoother, did boot it a couple of times and if i'm honest it didn't seem that much faster but i was in quite heavy traffic so will give it another try when nothing is around

 

Thought i'd post up a pic of my engine bay after having all the work done

The APS intercooler kit comes with red pipes which i thought didn't look right in my engine bay so i decided to spray them black for a more stealthy look, unfortunately i run out of spray paint so couldn't do the APS induction pipe

Before


After

 

Big thank you to Simon (JGM) who came round yesterday and sorted a little idle problem i had when the engine was cold

 

looks good Ian...where are all the pics of your flash newly painted rims?

 

Here you go Ian, nothing flashy though

 

looking very purposeful...best newage to my mind

perhaps some salon front wings and that'll do I reckon

 

looks the bollox

 

dark wheels make it look much meaner!!!

 

Thanks

I agree, i'm quite happy with how they came out

 

black headlamp mod required still though

 

I'm scared to take the headlamps apart again
