What make is that intercooler splitter and where did you get it?

im still trying to track the papework down.it has a full miltek exhaust,forge cold air feed in the wing,kw v3 coilovers,19" oz ultraleggra's.i took it in to be mapped so i knew what i was dealing with.i left it there for a few days as i went away and got a phone call saying it sounded like it has piston slap.the sound does die off when warm.anyways i had a camera place in the engine and some pictures taken which i have sent to a few people for there opinion.tim farmer,alan at engine tuner,wms racing,turbo-monkeys,jamie jerkovic's engine builder have all said these do look like forged pistons which is a bonus.i spoke to a garage who sold it 2 years ago and they said it had an extensive folder with reciepts including cosworth parts.just need to find it now haha.got a years warranty also just in case!
This is my old car I sold it back in 2011 but it looks pretty much as it was when I sold it. I had the kws fitted the wheels are a one off and there should have been five of them unless ones been damaged. The forge kit was from litchfields and fitted by Paul at zen when he mapped it. It did as most of the hatches did **** the engine so it was rebuild with forged internals hence the CAI and Paul map. If you want to pm me your number I'll tslk you through what I had done and where. Cheers

I'm considering changing my anti roll bar setup.
Currently have 22mm bars front and rear. What are others using and with what characteristics?

AFAIK, This isn't possible with the standard Clarion head unit found in the Hatch - only thing that can be done is to change the head unit

I had the Godspeed disks and pads front and rear with no issues. I had a slight annoyance with the Kevlar pads in that the backing on them was slightly smaller than the OEM ones so when I used my brakes after changing direction (reverse to forward or vice versa) there was a clunk. I changed to Pagid pads and had no issues. I'm not sure how either would hold up with track days, but on the road they were fine.

Was fitting some seats today.
Noticed that the passenger side does not have airbag activation via the seat belt clip.
Is that normal? Could someone check theirs please - Thank you.

Hi everyone,
First thread for me, names tony from Durham.
I bought a 2008 STI 330s around four months ago, however the engine went bang a few weeks back. Head gasket failure as well as ringland etc.
Only managed to take one pic.... Looking forward to getting the car back
