cool

cheers

will bar the sizes in mnd when renewing tyres


do you think it would matter if the rears were wider then teh fronts?

 

245/40/zr18 on my gt1's

I'd stick with the same size front and rear, if you don't then you'll damage the drivetrain if the rolling radius isn't spot-on.

 

Same size fitted to ours from Subaru

 

Not suprisingly 245/40/ZR18 on my anthracite GT1's also. Not P zero's though, dealer sourced Goodyear F1a's.

 

Hi all,

Id be greatful if any of you new sti hatch owners have experienced any screeching/grinding noises under braking? I dont mean slight noise, i'm on about LOUD grinding/whirring noise just as the car comes to a standstill to the level of being too embarrassed to brake in public.

I just bought an 08 sti and subaru are saying its not a warranty issue as the brakes function fine.

 

To everyone that is PM'in me about the REV / ipod guages


I'm sorry but I cannot help you with regards to the SAT NAV head unit as I have a Kenwood 7029 head unit so I dont know what connections you require.

I believe some1 on here a couple of pages back has mentioned they had to purchase a lead from USA or Japan to connect.

 

I did hear it said that there has been an issue where the pads have broken up but if Subaru have seen it then I wouldn't think it was that.

Never had any problems with the brakes on mine.

 

Passenger side front after very hard usage the make a funny noise My mate's does the same very un-nerving when you hear it mind, its just the pad material from what i know mine are getting worn down now so will just throw them away for something new

 

P-zero's on mine, I must say they are a very hard wearing tire & very grippy

 

Got Dunlops SP600 on mine, came on car.

Thanks for taking the time to register and post on here gvfs, going to do the seat bolster mod at the weekend

whats that then?????

 

Interesting video Dave.
That exhaust looks a lot more sensible than the "round the houses" bendy ones available over here !
Hope the horrible noise straight after the run was "music" and not the engine !

 

Seat mod.

 

 

Looks like different dia and width rims F/R (= diff problems ?), no access to rear seats, totally impractical body kit.
Looks great
As long as you don't drive it !

(or am I just getting old)

 

Nice photoshop.

 

I assume the poster is talking about the "seat mod" that others have done to their underwhelming USDM seats. It involves unlatching the seatback support inside the seat and allowing it to remain in place unconnected. I have not done this mod and do not intend to because the stress is transferred from the seatback frame to the seams in the fabric. I suspect their seats will begin to tear at the seams over time.

 

Same as me, but would love a 3 door

 

that kit wouldnt last 2 minutes on UK roads due to evry1 having a speed hump in it lol

 

No, you really,really dont. A new 09 WRXSTi cost 930.000NOK for car+wintertyres, about 100.000GBP. Mainly due to taxes. Insane. WRX 60.000gbp and diesel 35.000GBP. **** co2 emissions. 09STI for a UK 997gt3rs mk2 price.

Here is my x-09STi.

 

You are right !
Just spent a week in Tromso - £9 for a glass of wine, £30-40 for a main course in a typical restaurant You guys must earn a fortune to be able to live there !!!!!!

Amazed at the number of cars with the big rally lights - but having been out on the roads to the Finnish and Swedish borders at night, I know why !

Great people + nearly all speak English (handy as I don't know one word of Norwegian !)
Stan

PS Great photos !!

 

Where can i get the different rear light lenses from?
