your car looks great salsa-king
I always think the white hatches look good with the contrasting black in the front bumper

 

quick question to all you helpful people... will this center pipe: http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog...oducts_id=1501
be an exact replacement for the resonated center pipe on my 330S ?

I've read a lot of posts and see that many center sections are specific to a manufacturers backboxes.

2nd question is do I / should I get a remap after removing a resonator.

 

I have a centre pipe off my car with the resonates removed if you won't to buy it it was with the ppp pack on it

I didn't remap my car when I removed the resonator and have had no problems

As I said i have the prodrive back box and non res centre pipe if you won't to mack me a offer

 

EBC NDX pads very good, I don't like the other EBC pads.

 

Thanks for that not to keen on the ebc pads my self was good for a start but after about 10k seems poor

Just ordered cosworth rear pads for 55£ was quoted from subaru 250£ for rear pads

 

anyone with the Kevlar pads from Godspeed?

http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/~god...d_category=152

 

In my previous STi I used Godspeed discs and pads for years. Always found the pads to be excellent for road use.
When it's time to change the brakes on my hatch I'll def be going back to them.

 

Fivade, regarding the exhaust my 330s had a cat back Hayward and Scott system on it which was not mapped in. have rrecently put the standard exhaust back on and it may seem strange but it feels more responsive, pick up seems better and the drive smoother. This may just be due the lack of the exhaust noise so other senses have been heightened ie the feel of the car and the feel of speed.

To make sure I'm having the Hayward and Scott system put back on this Thursday to see what happens. It could all be in my head lol

As for performance, albeit on different rollers the car made 335bhp and 352lb with he haywad and Scott yet 327bho and 366lb on the standard system. Read into that what you will but the graph looks much smoother on thestandard system where there were pits and falls in with the hHayward and Scott system. This could be down to rollers, guy at the wheel or the fact it was not mapped on for the car although it's safe to do so it may not improve the drive and performance of the car which is what my train of thought is

Will update after the weekend if you wish

 

That's good info Stevie. keep us updated.

also thanks to Burnett - I'll think about your offer of the center pipe and let you know.

 

Steve 1982 did you go to power station at the wkend?

 

Yes mate, I was the lonely hatch. Car seems rarer than a 22b as even at a meet I was the only one lol, first dyno was at Surrey rolling road and obviously power station for the other

Were you there pal?

 

No worries mate, as I say it could be all in my head or the fact it's different rollers but the car feels much better on the stock set up and that's not to say it isn't due to the lack of mapping for it

 

Ahh no I wasn't! A mate was going so iwas going to come along when I saw ya name on list to save me writing spec out lol but phoned my mate while he was there and he said no hatches there so didn't bother coming! I recon he decoyed me because he didn't want anyone with bigger power lol haha. Ended up ramping round Oxfordshire for the day! Next time Ay! Will get round to putting build up soon just lots to write!!

 

Take it he was the dude with the 2.1 engine tuner lump and a gt35? Impressive car, 475 wasn't a bad result! I'm sure there will be other days pal but you still need to get a brief spec and some more pictures up.

You going to be at any tracks this year?

 

What seemed to be a very long wait my roof vent will be here on monday. not sure on final price yet as the full invoice hasn't come yet. but I have a cost price which seems to cheap lol

 

Rely fance one on my car as well rob can you tell me where your geting it from did you get a price for the alkatara stering wheel cover

 

Haha yeh that was him I wouldn't say 475 was a good result with at turbo etc but he said he only ran car on 1.5bar so will have to see another day haha mine would have done at least another 100bhp lol. As for tracks yes mate will be out as much as poss also want to try for a good time at Santa pod. No real plans as yet just try to fit as much driving in as poss!

 

Direct from subaru Japan. Via subaru uk mate. Will let you know how the fitting goes with it.

Yes I did get a price £ 200 for one but more than one gains a discount of £15 a wheel as the material is pretty expensive.

 

Maby be worth seeing if we can get a group buy on them can you forward the place details for this

well I passed my 2nd MOT yesterday no problem, renewed my insurance with KM the day before (under £500), just need to re new my MetaSat subscription in the next week or so.

 

I need new rear disks and pads and I see ECP are currently doing 25% off using GET25 but does anyone know the correct part numbers for rear disks and pads as I know the part numbers for the front disks and pads are wrong. Thanks

 

Have you looked at Godspeed to see what Ian can offer you?

 

I've got the grooved disks and Kevlar pads on the front, but I haven't been overly impressed with the pad performance and the noise from the grooved disks...and £255 for rear disks...ouch, was hoping to just get the Pagid ones (as recommended by Rob over on the old GR forum) and save myself some cash and get just as good performance.

 

Well you better get some pictures and a spec up sooner rather than later dude, also let me know when your out on track. Warranty is up on mine on mine soon so time to have some fun

 

Cleaning behind my wheels tomorrow, what Nm should my nuts be lol? Is it the same 110Nm as Fords?

 

Wheel nuts 100Nm
