Laki: your hatch looks EVIL!!!


I love it!!!

Now that is one mean looking car! Love It!

Just needs a sweeping red light behind the grille!

Hi guys

My car has been at a subaru garage for 10days now getting the parking sensors sorted, mudflaps fitted, the CD changer sorted, and the prodrive springs checked.
I have asked them to check the geometry and put it on fast road settings.
They seem to be having trouble getting the measurements from prodrive. Can anyone help! I am bored of driving an astra hire car.
My wife has offerred me her new allroad. She doesn't understand. Its nice and relatively quick but it doesn't put that smile on my face.

Thanks
Chris

Jeez 10 days?? Are they busy?!!

Lee

Chris

That garage of yours seems to like keeping you waiting !!!

A quick phone call to Prodrive should get the info without problems.

Hope you get sorted soon.

Thnx people

I have red HELLA's delivered to me 10 days ago but since i dont know to mount them i will w8 until next oil and filter service to have them mounted...

Thanks.

I have tried a different garage this time.
I will try prodrive tomorrow. If it is that easy I am worried about the car.
When I dropped it off on the Friday the alarm went off 6 times from the early hours of the saturday morning.
I did tell them to forget the Geo and I would pick up the car. They told me not to come because the car wasn't ready.
So I didn't go. It is 109 miles.
I am sure there is nothing to worry about????

Chris

getting geometry setting from prodrive is a mission and a half, mine got setup but took 5 days to get it sorted

I may have just dropped lucky. A phone call was all it took with mine and the info was i think sent via fax straight away

Good luck anyway Chris, I hope it is worth the wait

afew more of my new sti

I wasnt after setting for the spring upgrade I wanted n14 tarmac settings got there in the end

awesome car Sparkey

well chuffed with it rob

will be better when i get rally armor flaps then looking at rear arb & 2point brace kit & front strut brace & mayb k&n panel filter

wasnt surer about black wheels had thorth about changeing them to speedline turinis or ones like yours

Sorry Rob i had fogotten that you wanted some very special settings.

Just the standard fast road geo settings on mine. Not in your league mate

Rob, am I correct in thinking that is the group N rally car settings for tarmac?

I think I will phone prodrive tomorrow. Surely they will have the prodrive spring upgrade fast road settings handy?
The subaru dealership has been trying since last week.
It looks I will be getting it back without the GEO.
SO, that will be 2 weeks without my car and still no GEO done.
I can't blame the dealership. If prodrive won't give the figures there is very little they can do.

This is the 6th week this year withour my car. No massive engine work here, no significant change to chassis or brakes. I have had the following done.
PPP
Prodrive springs
Parking sensor fiasco
service
mudflaps
new windscreen wipers
auto dimming rear view mirror
cd changer fixed?
Still no GEO after the prodrive springs were fitted.

6 weeks seems slightly excessive.
I would have thought a morning and part of an afternoon would be sufficient.

I am not driving that bloody astra tomorrow, sod it I am going to cycle.

Chris,

Here's the geo settings that came with my Prodrive spring kit:

Minimum / Preferred / Maximum

Front camber: -0*50' / -0*55' / -1*00'
(for very aggresive use take this to max on adjustment approx -1*30')

Front toe-in (total): 0*08' / 0*10' / 0*12'

Front caster: 6*25' (Referential value)

Rear camber: -1*35' (Referential value)

Rear toe-in (total): 0*16' / 0*20' / 0*22'

Thrust angle: -0*01' / 0*00' / 0*01'

Hope that helps,

Neil

yes they were tarmac settings off a rally car, i fitted coilovers and slammed it to the floor so wanted it to handle something unreal.

Got a set of american sat disc's (86283SC010 ver 1.1 2006) put in the disc for west usa, head unit did a reboot and hey presto it now says SAT in the audio menu, but still does not work. Even tried a full reset still no joy. So it is a Software issue I will try to get newer version disc's. Unless some one wants to try hacking these discs. mix and match to the euro disc.

The Original Menu

After The Disc is Changed


My Ipod Classic shows this

The New Audio Menu

and the sat nav is now USA


So there must be a way of doing this.

If anyone from the south east is thinking about getting Prodrive Springs fitted, I have a set available. Only fitted for about 500 miles, removed by Subaru dealer.

I would rather someone picked them up as they would be heavy to post! I am in Bromley, Kent. £125 sound reasonable?

Cheers!

NOW SOLD!

Any of you guys with STi Prodrive exhausts thinking of upgrading.
If so I'd be interested in buying your back box.
Thanks

Paul

Thanks for that Neil.
The car is now sorted and I can pick up tomorrow!
Result!

I have my car back.
Springs and parking sensors sorted. BUT most importantly the fast road settings have transformed the car. Turn in has improved massively. It must have been miles out before the Geo.

The mudflaps work too.

I am very happy

Great news, pleased your sorted

came very close to putting down a deposit on a ex demo 330s on saturday, until the dealer decided last minute to add an extra grand, so still looking

carlos..

really wanted to make the sale then!!!!!

thats what i thought.
been offered another 330s today in met grey with only 100 miles.
what would you guys think is a fair price to px my rb320 in against it?
(my rb320 has only done 5400 miles with leather/alcantara and alcon brake upgrade)

Doubt the dealer will give you any premium for the brake upgrade, I'd be tempted to take it off and either sell seperatly on here on put on the 330.

so what would you say is a fair price?

I'd put the Alcon's on the 330S - they work particularly well on the hatch
