Brembo front pads at a dealer are about £190 lol

 

Duncan (dynamix) has just done a map on mine
Mapped on tesco 99 which i have always used
now puts out 336 BHP and 375 Torque
pulls like a train and going off the printout the curve is very linear from start to finish
car has done 49,000 miles and has never missed a beat, i have it seviced
every 10K as per book and i have NEVER checked the oil, until today to see if any was there (9000 since last service) and its nearly to the full mark, had to look in book to see were the bonnett release was

I say i have had no problems twice it has been to the garage when i found oil on my drive both times the cause was a hole in the oil filter, on both occasions the garage did an oil change and steam clean.

i had brakes fitted from godspeed he sent the kevlar ones recommended you get no dust from them and they bite hard

hopefully duncans map will help futureproof it as he has NEVER had a re-mapped engine blow and he has done loads

 

Imy, i'm toying with the racedynamix remap via Duncan just for peace of mind (He hasn't had one go pop!), as i'm out of warranty, then when funds permit will see if Rob can fit the forged bits. I'm local to you so if you too want to go down the remap route let me know as could negotiate a package deal if 2 done together!
With regard to stereo, I have a 2nd hand kenwood double din nav with the JDM facia panel from Litchfields and an adaptor wiring kit: £350 all in & it looks like it's factory fitted!

 

Can highly recommend Duncan, cosworth filter, ppp back box, second decat a few other goodies and we saw just shy of 350bhp on my MY08.

I have got a new one on order among with some other goodies to go on when I get home from Russia anyone on hear got the Revised PAS Pump Valving from power station

OK. A question for the experts on here please....

After a long drive (say 100 - 200miles) 'i think' I'm hearing a sort of intermittent grind / rub noise from the front ( hubs ?) when crawling at 2-3 mph.

After car is left for a few hours - no noise.

It could even be that "I'm feeling it" through the pedals ? If that makes any sense at all ?

Could it be the beginning of driveshaft failure ? After a long run the oil or grease is knackered or something ? Or possibly grindy or lumpy abs. ? Thing is the next day it's not there ?

So I grab a wheel and try to shake it - no movement at all.

Experts reveal yourselves .....

( but not like that.. Lol )

Thank you.

How long since the front brake pads were out of the caliper ?? once the discs and brakes warm through they have been known to bind on the disc causing either a grind or a squeel. Whip the pads out and clean the edges up were they sit on the tin slides and lubricate with alloy grease. Job sorted.

Its a build up of brake dust which sticks to the old grease which makes them sticky.

 

No problem mate, Will build an individual best quote in the morning at work as all my prices are on file at work.

wont be as bad as you think

 

Are those the version 2 rally armor UR mudflaps on yours ?? they look pretty sweet. got a set coming for mine just like yours

 

Yes it is had the version 1 fited when I got the car but lost on some how so had to order a new set thay do a good job

 

Prob 18,000 miles since new pads...

I'll get someone to give it a clean

Thanks

If it is standard pads fittes cold be down to the tell tell that your pads need changed but pad should last longer that that unles you have be hard backing

 

Prodrive gt1 alloys anyone got a set for sale

 

Ferodo DS2500

you love your brake dust then

 

Really nice, need more red hatches in this thread. Everyone knows that red cars are the fastest ones

 

What happens if you had your car serviced > 1 month/1000 miles the other side of the marker - could they reject a warranty claim for that?

Actually forget that.
It actually says either side of the due
So, if you get your car serviced 5 weeks before its due, then that will invalidate your warranty!

 

Yes red is the fastest bont see much off them

 

Did wonder that myself as well as should there not be a note in that text staing failing to do so will invalidate the warranty, not that it would help me as I didn't read the book anyway lol

 

Certainly no worse brake dust than oem and "I think", 'better' in every aspect.

A

 

Couldn't reject on those grounds, its only if it goes over the scheduled agreement. as oils etc etc deteriorate with miles and age is the way they see it

 

Rob could you tell me if the new 2011 sti steering wheel will fit my 2010 330s, the type that is fitted in Don's saloon with the flat bottom. Assume it will work and all the wheel controls and air bag will be fine?

Thanks in advance

 

Yes indeed it will fit mate.

 

Cool cheers Rob, any chance of a price if you get five min at work tomorrow, no prob if not

Cheers

 

Thought you meant std sti wheel. Both will fit but Don's is aftermarket

The type with the Flat bottom isnt actually a subaru Part. Its an aftermarket steering wheel made my DAMD if I recall. available through Japan Parts £378.50 + shipping & import duty.
