Thanks for the code, I have sent it to JP and asked them to quote it on the shipping label and documents, it should speed the whole process up.

Like I have said I am not against bonding items on but I don't like just bonding anything onto a car alone, if the vehicle manufacturer uses a combination of fasteners and bonding agent then they do it for a very good reason.

 

yes that,s the code I have, ahh send it to them jp

Thanks stu

 

what tail pipes are they, look well beefy.

more pix?

 

Blitz nur spec

 

do like that, are they 4" tails?

is it just back box?

I take it you had a re map done when fitted too?


Your car is looking well smart. A black wrap on the roff will finish it off

 

I do like the Blitz Nur Spec R, I know they aren't to everyone's taste as they can be a 'tad' loud but if you can put up with it then they're a great sounding system when giving it the beans.

I found that when I had it fitted to my now gone 22B that it encouraged me to drive a little slower as quite frankly I couldn't drive everywhere with the exhaust booming all the time, great when you want the noise but not so much when just pootling around.

I was getting far better MPG as a byproduct though so it was a win win all round really.

 

Although I've not had the time to look at every post on this thread I just want to say how many great cars there are on this thread, they've given me lots of ideas - some of which I've already acted upon and others for later on in ownership.

Plus I'm genuinely surprised how many genuine STi modifications are available for the GR cars as well, Subaru certainly cater far better for the newer ranges than they ever did for the GC or GD series of cars.

nice pics

RU on the dmacks ??

Yes I'm running Dmack DMT-RC wrc W1 tyres.
Heavy Rain like that and they arnt the best choice in tyre as they cant displace the water out of the tread cut fast enough, It's sorta like floating. In hindsight I should have opted for the DMT3 tread cut.

The last 2 weeks of hot sunny weather these Have been Epic for grip quality

 

I'm looking for a set of wheels for a MY11 sti saloon

Any body got anything available ?

Prodrive GT2'S or other 18"/19" options ??

Thanks

 

Evening all, after some info.

I'm looking for the dealer that sells the red inlays for the rear light clusters. Not sure but seem to remember they are US based? How tough are they to fit also?

Lastly does anyone know a rough cost for a new front bumper unit, could possibly be interested in a facelift version if its a direct fit? An idea of price would be good to

Thanks in advance.

 

You have a very short memory
Time to learn how to use search...............

Salsa king does ring a bell, I'll drop him a pm.

 

Pm sent mate with good news

 

I've got some more on order so should be with me next week or week after.. depends how the low boat is lol

 

 

Thinking about an oil cooler.

Any recommendations? Needs to work with FMIC in place.

Matt.

 

Just back from Cornwall, couple of weeks down there with the family, my Hatch was spot on throughout the trip even when sitting completely stopped on the M5 time and again in traffic. It was my first long drive since I drove it home up to Cumbria and even fully loaded with suitcases etc it shifted when required.

I was crawling it through Padstow one day looking for parking and a policeman who was walking along pulled me over, told me my H&S exhaust was illegal. Couldn't be bothered arguing with him so played dumb and he let me go after seeing the kids in the back. What's the score with noise levels these days???

Anyway, here's a low quality phone pic I took whilst down there.


Ps, only saw 2 scoobs in 2 weeks whilst down south and as soon as I'm up passed Manchester I see 4 in an hour. Where are you all hiding!!!
John.

 

Yes mate they are 4", its a cat back system i have also put a decat downpipe on and to be honest its not that loud nothing like the older Blitz systems. My wife drives it daily without complaining she hated the the noise our classic used to make.

The car is not mapped yet but is booked in with Bob Rawle this month i have just finished running in the forged pistons, its also got a Cosworth induction kit, perrin intake pipe, forge recirculating D.V all recently fitted and in a fortnight it is getting a VF43, grimspeed 3 port boost solenoid and a FMIC fitted i am hoping for 370ish BHP. Oh and tomorrow i am doing a front and back black brembo caliper conversion using Godspeed discs and pads.

Once that lot is done i will do some more body mods, and maybe a carbon roof wrap.

 

Clyne can you let me know how the brakes are when you you fit them the brakes on mine are shocking and before I go down the power route I need to sort the brakes and suspension. I know Ian godney as he's just down the road from me and he's always top notch but I'm not sure on the callipers and weather to go k sport but I'm worried that the alloys will need changing. Love the list of mods exactly what I'd love to do but as it's supposed to be my misses car I'm not allowed to mod it �� but brakes and suspension are safety.

 

Loving the pics john glad you had a good trip to sunny Cornwall shame you didn't see many hatches I go down there all the time for work and see loads but can't wave as I'm in my work car. The pic looks like you could be in Cyprus looks lovely. Next you go you should go via Wales well give you a few scoobs to look on some amazing roads and tbh there's some good drivers here aswell. I'm in the new forest Hampshire this week but again not in the scoob and I've seen loads of Sti hatches I'm dying to wave but they may think I'm a wierdo so best not my misses goes mad. So if you see a women driving a hatch wrx and she doesn't wave it's prob my misses grumpy cow. Lol

 

I will let you know tomorrow mate if all goes well it will of cost around 1200 quid thats for front and rear black brembos uprated hoses and new discs and pads with the rear discs redrilled to 5x100.

 

Hi mate,

I fitted kevlar pads and godspeed discs on my hatch, to be honest the pads arnt that great i will be upgraded to tarox pads next month. Just make sure you go for a quality pad.

Thanks Jamie

 

That's bloody good, where did you get the callipers from? If u don't mind me asking if they perform I'll get some and pop into Ian godney and get some disks and pads sorted

 

Ebay but for some reason the rears are more expensive than the fronts and are a bit harder to find. Probably the STI owners only upgrading the fronts and keeping their rears.

 

Hi Jamie do the Tarox pads give off loads of brake dust though I'm fed up of having to clean the wheels and my old tsi type r had them and they were the same and also liked to get some heat in them to max the use

 

Yea I can see that, if you find any could you let me know I'd like the backs done aswell because I'd like the balance right but if I can only find the fronts ill do them and Ian to do me some up rated rears with my callipers. Thanks clyne your a star let me know how they are and pics I'm watching your car with interest.

 

Hi ive just wired in two DRL's through a drl controller.when my left indicator is on my right DRL flashes and vis versa for the other side which is obviously not suppost to happen.Ive checked the wiring and it is all correct so i can only presume its the controller.Any ideas anyone??

 

Got the new calipers discs and pads fitted today and rid of the crapy floating calipers.
