Snow tyres on 17" rims, the rims are second hand and have a few scuffs on them & to be honest are perfect for the slippy salty winter months when you don't want to run your good alloys and expose them to unnecessary corrosion!
The wheels were used for 4 days max this year in the winter and as you can see are in new condition with obviously no punctures.
Selling as they will not fit over my new brakes.
I do not sell rubbish.
The grip on these tyres on loose or hard packed snow is like driving on a dry road when braking!
Cost me over £700

Sti Wheels in gold
Enkei 17 x 8 J

The yoko W Drive tyres are good winter tyres, I have a set on some old 17" wheels, not much snow etc. in last winter and used them for 3 months but not a lot of wear and seemed almost as good as the Goodyear F1 !!!

 

Hi All, not been on here for a bit and wanted to ask a quick Q if I may. Whats the best oil to put in my 09 STI Hatch? I've just ordered a K&N air and oil filter set and wanted to put the best oil I can in the engine :-) Apart from that she is going well and passed her MOT last week with flying colours...Oh she is also out of warranty now so I'm feeling a little unsettled right now. I'm thinking of a mild re map at some point but not sure who to go too. Talked to Slowboy racing today and was please with what I was told etc. Also spoken to Jollygreenmonster (my local mapper) who feels he can give me a safe map of around 355bhp and include auto blip, L control and flat floor shifting ;-)
in regard to the K&N panel air filter, what can I exspect in terms of performance? cheers Ian

 

That’s what I’m after but unfortunately I think my pcd is 100. Will check tomorrow to be sure.

 

Here's my hatch, picked it up on Thursday








Hope u like it? I love it ;-)

 

Like it buddy, wheels suit it really well.

 

Nice motor Jimmy. Wrxs ? A good choice and the same one I made . I was going to go for an STI but with it been my daily driver i was put off with the ringland issue. Got mine pre reg four months ago, its now run in and I think it is a much better car than my previous hawkeye.

Enjoy

 

Cheers guys ;-) its a wrx that's been upgraded to wrxs spec, it's been fitted with a PPP and the wheels, spoiler and lip ;-) was ment to be getting fitted with a sti/wrxs grill but the garage ordered the wrong part :-( want to get the boot lid handle sprayed black or wrapped in carbon

 

The chrome trim on the boot is the same colour as the paintwork on mine if this helps.

 

Is there any chance you could post a picture so I can see what it looks like bud?

Here's mine

 

This is what he means...............

 

Been looking at grills for my car after being let down by garage :-(
My car has this grill


I was looking on the zunsport website and they list a grill for my car with this grill but when you click on it, it shows you a picture of an STI grill :-(

Has any one else ordered this grill or have a picture of it?

Cheers guys

 

Your's is the same as the STI grill just chrome with a different centre so I'd imagine the Zun grill replaces the centre with mesh.

 

Yes Don is right but here is another one anyway

Mine are 100 pcd .

A good deal for an STI owner though

GLWTS

 

AFAIK, my mate Derek has done the deal and picks them up tomorrow evening.

 

Correct, just in so updating the post

Del

 

Any help with a good oil guys???

 

If they ordered the wrong part go back to them. S&S are great IMO

 

I use Castrol Magnatec as that is what my dealer puts in at the service, then I do an oil and filter change 6 months on.

 

sorry but are you feeling brave ?? worst oil for a subaru engine in the creation of man

 

5w30 grade is ok but would recommend a 10w40 minimum & for those forged Guys out there 15w50 fully synthetic
my selected list

Millers CFS
Motul 300v
Mobil super 2000
Gulf Competition. (Best oil to date IMHO)

avoid Fuchs, fast as you put it in it burns the bugger.
Castrol Personally I hate the ****.

 

Thanks Rob, So if you had to pick one it would be.....? and wheres the best place to pick up said oil? cheers fella

 

Gulf Competition by far, Opie Oils they are currently on a promotion at the moment for there entire stock

Thanks for that and yes they are real grippy

 

Can't fault them on service ;-) but I'm not paying paying £280 on a grill unless I have to lol

 

Hi Rob, sorry last thing, is this ok for a daily driver? cheers

 

yes perfectly ok mate

 

Hi Rob,
I've followed you advice and have just ordered 5L of Gulf Comp 5W40
The guy on the phone said the 5W40 would give better cold start protection over the 10W40.
The guy also said the Gulf comp range of oils are some of the best around
and I got a discount .....with next day dev 5L cost £43..

So all good, the K&N air and oil filter arrived today so I'm all set for a oil change..

Do you think I will see a change in performance with the K&N Airfilter?

Cheers Ian
