Guys to all the people who wanted the rear overlays, they have all been sent out so could you just drop me a message or post to let me know you have received them.

Thanks

 

Not been on here for some time, what's the deal etc

 

I was ordering a set of overlays from the states, short of it I offered to do a group buy to save shipping and importing costs as it would be split between us all, they arrived and i shipped them out this week, just wanted to make sure all involved got them

I may have a spare set depending if i manage to fit mine first time round lol as i ordered two just to be sure

 

What exhaust has papal got on there cars

 

i had a magnaflow cat back

sounded awesome

 

Question for wrx owners (pretty sure this won't affect the STI's)
Right I've had my car a week and have come to the conclusion that the springs on my car are made from chocolate or liquarice lol. If I'm in. The car myself the handelings ok'ish, if the wife and 2 kids are in the car the car drops about an inch and handles like barge with a broken rudder lol

How the hell do I fix this? Is it just a case of new springs and a geometry set up or is it more in depth?

My last car had a adjustable koni kit and was fully poly bushed! It handled well enough but it was not a nice car to live with so I don't want to make my wrx the same! Just looking for less body roll but still comfy

Cheers

 

got a revolution system on mine !

 

PPP backbox, deres centre and second cat removed gives a nice volume and rumble and is hardly noticable in the car, to a point where whenever I drive I want a H&S, then when my wife drops me off and pulls away I like just what I have!

 

The suspension set up on the hatch is much softer than on my previous hawkeye. Much easier to live with day to day. I suffer less understeer and find i can corner at a greater speed on turn in, apex and exit. I am sure it can be vastly improved if modded though. I have no children to try out as balast.

 

Hayward & scott turbo back, decatted & de-resonated on mine sounds wicked

 

any vids ?

Cheers Mark, Got sorted in the end. Bigdeal31 is on so they are £23.60 apparently

 

Is that a 2 1/2" or a 3"

Have been looking at the hayward and Scott wood the back box just fit on to the standard centre pipe

Any one got the cobra exhaust

 

Just 2 1/2" No need for 3" on the hatch the bends are better formed on mine than a 3" system so causes no restrictions, Something Andy F mentioned when Mapping it

No the hayward & scott wont mate up to the original center.

 

Thanks for that are you gan up to knockhill for total jap car next month?

 

I might be mate, not sure yet though as my plans have a habit of changing due to workload just recently

 

Has anyone (Rob) fitted new drop links on the front of the hatch, I have opted for the Whiteline adjustable items, assume its:

Undertray off
Remove
Set new links to match existing length of oe items
replace and torque up

The Whiteline pictures show washers but after speaking with Tim at Scoobyparts it seems the new version do not require these and they are old instructions?

Finally, ideally jack car up on both sides so I can fit both at once, will use car jack for one side with an axel stand next to it (just in case) but where on the other side can I place either a trolly jack or axcel stand, dont really want to put on the sill as my experience they just bend??

Cheers
Arron

 

Wow this guy has done some serious mileage – 27.5k on a 61 plate so in what 11 months (depending when it was registered):

If your trolley jack is low enough profile you can jack from the front centre jack point. If not, drive the front wheels onto a couple of bits of wood to get a bit of extra clearance and then jack. Front centre jack point is just at the rear of the undertray and in the centre obviously.

Axle stands can be placed behind the lip at the points where the standard jack fits over as this area is reinforced (there're a couple of vertical lines on the lip to show correct jack placement). In fact if you look at the standard jack fitment, it doesn't lift by the lip, it's actually bearing on the area described.

And drop links are supposed to be torqued with the wheels on the ground and the suspension loaded.

HTH, Neil

 

Cheers Neil, thats a great help, especially the note on Torqing with the wheels on the ground.

Thanks

Note to one self must check grass for stones before commencing with. The flymo

 

looks like some1 with a 55 plate hawkeye is p/x'ing in for my old hatch!!!

 

DOH!!! hope not too much damage

 

One smashed rear window doh!!!!!

 

My car has a 2.5inch H&S and sounds wicked. That said I also fitted £150 of dynomat in the boot to stop in car ear bleeding lol

 

Maybe you can keep me in mind if all goes well at your end ?

 

I have a prodrive cat back system that was removed from my car (sti 09 hatch PPP) when the H&S was fitted. It's done around 3000 miles and is in great condition. If anyone is intreast drop me a pm or post up here. Not looking for the world just a fair price. As to what that is??

 

It can't be that bad can it
