Cheers Matt

 

Its sat waiting

 

A reasonable constructive day - I managed to sort the rest of my engine bolts (Bar the one that is missing from the pack 😫 ) and give her a full clean and wax. My first time with the Autoglym HD wax and got to say it's pretty good.

Also first pics with my near rear light overlays fitted (Thanks to Salsa for super quick delivery 👍🏼 ).




A few more bits to sort before Spring RaceDay and Castlecombe in a few weeks, anyone else going?

 

Nice and welcome back. Also congrats on starting the biggest and best thread on Scoobynet 👍🏼.

 

Awoke from winter sleep ready for suspension fitting next week was nice to feel 1.7 bar again

 

How do you get on with the wing raiser mate ? Does the boot fully open ?

 

One of my favourite mods. The boot does not open fully, though more than enough to get great utility from it.

 

I'm tempted myself. I've read a few American forums whereas they've worked out how to fit it so then the boot fully opens.

 

explain as in can you use the boot etc

 

so....... did you move to a bigger house

welcome back

 

don't do it unless you want a bust nose lol
it opens just over half way.. due to the fact the cables have to hold it lower or you'd damage your roof with the extra hight put on the rear boot spoiler.

ScoobyClinic sell them btw.

 

***** to that plus I think it looks better with spoiler in standard position

 

A little more than that.



I have the maximum height on mine.

looks usable....

have you noticed any difference since fitted as in does it feel more planted..noisier etc etc

 

If your name is Warwick Davies lol

 

I've had a washing machine in there and use it most days, the only difference is that you need to mind your head.

Can't tell any difference to the feel of the car and have not noticed any extra noise.

 

Iv got wing risers aswell and they don't cause me any Agro and I'm 6ft 2" , I wanted to change the rear a bit without putting a stupid WRC spoiler on the back and I think the risers do just enough for me

 

Looks good to me! I'm only 5'9!. Are the cables needed ? I read on an American forum that most people don't bother with them at all.

 

Mine needed the cables to stop the spoiler stabbing into the roof but they are easy to fit and you don't notice them ,, to be honest I didn't test it without them but I'm fairly sure mine would hit the roof without them

 

Argh ok. May look into it a bit more first!. I like the look though.

 

Mine opens wide enough for anything iv needed to get in there and could prob open a bit more if I got a bit closer with the spoiler

 

With a bit of room to spare

 

Thank you for all the welcome backs

Yes did move to a bigger house, Had a Civic type R and BMW325 M Sport while there. Separated from the wife nearly 2 years ago. I've met someone else and are all settled.

 

Hi, bought a 2008 STI Hatch last June that was being sold on here and now lives out in Malta. Been slowly working through a few little issues and remapping it for our climate and fuel, plus wasn't happy with the map it was on (over boosting past target).

- Does anyone have any good geometry setting for fast road when running BC coilovers?
- Exhaust is a H&S 3 inch turbo back with no cats but a centre Res. I still think it's too noisy at idle and general driving. Anyone recommend something quieter/more neighbour friendly given am not planning to put cats back in?

 

I've got BCs on my STi 5.

RCM choose these geo. settings for normal + fast road:

Front Toe: 1.25mm in
Front RH Camber: -1.3 Degrees
Front LH Camber: -1.3 Degrees

Rear Toe: 1.5mm in
Rear RH Camber: -1.0 Degrees
Rear LH Camber: -1.0 Degrees

You might need rear camber bolts to adjust the rear camber (I have Eibach ones fitted).


Also, if you like your coilovers set to the extreme end (whether full soft or full hard), then don't go right to the last click. Go to 5 clicks from the end, then a further 2 = 7 total.

 

Familiar sight Can't believe how good it is to be back in a STI

 

Seven years apart, different car, same location

 

Is that a nos bottle in the boot dom?

 

Thanks for those, much appreciated
