Just think of the additional weight fogs add. More weight means you need more power (says the man with bigger wheels, kiddy seats, etc etc)!

Carl, did you get your 330s from Westaways @ Spratton & chop the RB320 in against it. If so that is a stunning RB 320, as i was looking at it the other day while picking up parts.

I've come to the conclusion that that the hatches look better with the STi fin rather than the WRX (small) wing.

Guess along with the grill thats something else I'll be changing.

Hi Dave

Errrmmmm the FSTi has been away for 6 months now but we dont talk about it...back next week !!!!!.

The RS is fab, I should never have cancelled the order last year and bought the 330s IMHO.......350 Stage 2, wheels and springs now booked in...you only live once, Goodwood still sounds good and the dog is now huge but lovely.

Kind regards
Clive

What's the definitive answer to the in built understeer on the new STi hatches / 330S 's then?

Entered a big roundabout this morning, in the rain, had to boot it to avoid a plonker at one of the 90 degree corners, and WOW understeer galore, sliding from inner lane to outer!!! Had a little understeer before but running in so not bothered about it but now not happy in the lanes or on fast sweeping / tightening corners!

What works best??? ( avoiding full coil over / adjustable rear links and adjustable top mounts etc. ).

Prodrive springs ( waranty friendly ) - how's the handling and ride, and understeer levels?

Rear bigger anti roll bar ( and rear bush void filling parts for subframe and diff ? )

Feels like it needs more -ve camber on front to get tyres to bite - was set up with Dealer "best" 4 wheel alignment settings...


Any suggestions welcome!

I would suggest some driving lessons??
Auto - too and no TC on oh and some throttle
If you like I can show you how to drive a 330s??
I`m not being condesending its just that I find the car very adjustable and balanced.
