Out of interest anybody know what the quickest/highest power hatch in the uk is? Or in the world? Not seen many real monsters ? I wonder how gobstopper 2 is coming on????

 

Think there's a blue one on YouTube. Can't remember specifically but somewhere around 770ps I think

 

Is that in uk?

 

No it's abroad

 

As always Don, looks great. Might have to look into this for mine

Views on tint for a silver hatch

You got a link or name for vid? Can't find it
Cheers nick

 

For your next trick ...
I've got the plastic boot liner in the hatch, and I also bought the 2 ( or 3 ? ) cargo nets, but can't seem to fit them with the boot liner. Covers the mounts I think...

Any ideas!

Cheers

Hey guys. Finally got some proper photos. I used to be a car washing obsessive freak but my driveway and garage is away from my new house, so I don't have access to water and electricity at the garage, so I'm not doing the weekly religious washes anymore!

Previous car history includes MG ZRs (2 of them) MG ZS (3 of them) Vectra VXR, Clio Williams, Fiat Punto and Mazda 3 MPS.

Modifications to the STI so far are as follows:

Cobrasport catted down pipe
Prodrive cat back exhaust system (2nd hand ebay buy)
Slowboy Racing remap
Whiteline front and rear anti roll bars
Whiteline bushes for rear diff, gearbox and diff brace.
Rear tail light overlays
Titanium SI-Drive button cover
3/4 size front number plate
Super Pro engine pitch stop mount
LED sidelight bulbs
Aztec Performance fast road front brake pads

Future plans incude a front lip spoiler and rear diffuser.

Some pics from today's wash - pics dramatised with Snapseed











Some pics of previous motors

 

The purple ZS has a very interesting history to it for those interested.

This car was an MG Rover demo/test vehicle for a sprintex supercharger. Before MG went bust they were planning to bring out a final run of 'extreme' MG models, all fitted with some form of forced induction. The car needed a bonnet bulge for cooling and to allow room for the supercharger. Designs for the bonnet were drawn up in Australia and fabricated in the UK, and the car was kept at Longbridge to test the supercharger.

When MG went bust they asked someone to remove the supercharger and the car was sold at the MG Sport and Racing auction. It had a few odd items fitted that were never produced or available on standard runs of MGs like headlight washers for example. Plus it was the only ZS saloon to be painted in the monogram colour. It was meant to be sold as a limited production run and was to be called the ZS-X using a supercharged version of the 2.5 v6 engine.

The ZR was to be fitted with a 1.8 turbo JUDD engine. The lime green demo vehicle for this only had cosmetic parts fitted and they stuck a JUDD sticker on a standard 1.8 engine for photo purposes.

 

Where did you get your LED bulbs from staccato

 

I'll look back through my email and let you know. I did a Google search for them and stumbled across them on a random car forum

 

Found it! They're cree power side lights from Lightec Autostyle

http://www.lightec-autostyle.co.uk/h...lbs-p-243.html

 

send me £6.50 and I'll send you a set of these..


the one on the right..


both done





and with the DRL's I fitted

 

Jesus they're bright. Brighter than the headlights aren't they?

 

could you send me a set to south wales mate?

 

I think I've a couple of sets spare, I bought a load and put them in all our cars and vans.. plus give me spares if any failed. More likely if one goes dim it's worked loose and needs re fitting.

 

the good photo helps, but so much better/brighter than the normal 501 bulbs as you can see from the comparison photo

 

Salsa where did you get then from mate, could do with a set on mine if you've run out, pm me where or your PayPal addy

Cheers

 

hi lads another question for yous,would the 330s prodrive back box fit the 2008 sti hatchs standard system? thanks

 

should do, it's just the PPP exhaust for the STi hatch

 

It does as had that on my MY08 STI, you'll need a deres centre pipe though to really release the burble, and funnily enough I have a section for sale you can replace the resonator with if you like.

 

can get a backbox,didnt know if the centre section was different or not.thanks

 

Centre section is the same on all hatches, ppp cars just have a diff backbox and second cat removed.

 

just my deposit on a 2008 wrx sti today. blue with gold wheels of course.

soon as i get her i will post some pics.

you guys have some fantastic looking examples, so hello to you all, look forward to joining the scooby club.
