Any good to anyone?

 

Here's my little baby. Running close to 500bhp. Still to be dyno'd. Andy Forrest did the mapping a few weeks ago and reckoned 490bhp

I'll stick a build post up when I've a big more time.

Hope you like :-)

Paul

Around £1600 unless you can get your bodyshop to do you a good deal

 

Lovely, cheers rob. Missus doesn't need the hatch for commuting anymore so I'm having it. Thought I'd give it a bit of a facelift and maybe some new boots. The car that is

 

Alright chap, is that a decat mid section with the Prodrive back box? What you after for it?

 

Rob I did one of these ages ago for a Jdm hatch, but can't remember what I did about the lamp washer covers. Is it an easy fix or will I have to order a JDM bumper without the lamp washer holes?

 

I did look at perhaps putting a package together through work with some discounts to members, but painting would be down to the owner to ensure a correct colour match.

 

Ideally the jdm bumper would be a better bet but saying that any good bodyshop would be able to fibreglass the openings up or plastic weld in a plate and just fill it to suite on a uk bumper

 

Could be interested in that...drop me a pm if you decide going down that route

 

I'm not in work now until 2nd jan, But I shall sort out a package deal etc and post it up.

 

I'd be interested in the cost too !

Paul

 

Nice one

 

Hi mate this is sold now.

 

Engine is coming along now. So hopefully not long now.

here is a picture of the CDB insert and 14mm head studs.

 

No problem.

 

had car up to Rob last wk for a couple of things , bc coilovers started to knock from platform on front

cant decide weather to just replace whole lot or just repair fronts

repair down side car off rd while they are away hire car needed & possibility rears decide to do the same ! COST

replace with what another set of coilovers (what make ) or try & get 4 shockers & some lowering springs ! cost

any views & recommended set ups

 

I got a brand-new set of Ohlins I paid £2400 for and they been say in my Garage since April not sure if I should put them on the car open to sensible offers

 

Very nice, who did the CDB insert?
My last engine builder does not believe in these aids nor pinning..
mine was a forged build aiming at 500 bhp.

 

Andy Kindon is building the engine and he out sourced the the machine work sure the fella is called bob and he's based in Houghton Le Spring (north east)

He's done a fair few of them now and a couple of early ones have 20 and 30k on them no issues. Apparently there is a few problems when pinning the 2.5 so this is the better option.

 

Hi,
I'm thinking of selling up and need a bit of help putting a price on the car. It's an 08 STI with 30K on the clock, forged rebuild, Whiteline links and ARBs, two sets of wheels 17's with winters and 18" 330 alloys with 265/35 verds. PPP cert but a Bob Rowle remap to 378hp 425ft/lbs on AEM intake and Cobra turbo back with sports cat.

What car say standard it worth about £11-12K so any help on the price as it stands would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Paul.
