I spent very little time on mine , I'd say it's just a good pic. Up close I still have all the bits u can't reach !

 

Makes a lot of difference though mate, looks nice . I'm interested in an Perrin alternator cover, because that tends to be worse than most places

 

Wasted day today.. All the wrong tools, each job I went to do, diff oil and gearbox, no deep 22mm socket, no 10mm hex, then found out that Halfords was actually open today, 5.30pm by this time, could have spent arvo on beach instead Then I found out that I had lost the wheel locking nut for the 2nd time this year

 

Got my Type Uk stickers finally fitted. Cheers Gambit.

 

is it a type UK or a Euro import?

 

Got round to fitting these today. Shame battery was flat so can't test them out.

 

are they just a straight plug in or do you have other things to do ??

 

Finished the gearbox and diff oil changes ; Millers crx75w90NT, front was fairly clean with some magnet gunk. The rear lsd was filthy

 

Nice one mate all done now be ok for a while peace of mind that it's all changed

 

Seen your car today at Davy's bud and i have to say its looking well
she,s sitting a bit low on the rears and probably need lifted about 20mm

 

We deffo not going for the ultra low look when it's all done a drop of 20 mm is loads

 

The PRODRIVE Eibach spings (also the ProR ones) are only a 10mm drop all round.. it's plenty to give great handling, go too low and the car handles totally 'wrong'.

 

I've been wondering this about dropping too low and handling, mine is on 25mm tein lowering springs all round and understeers pretty bad compared to my last hatch Sti that was standard! I've been putting it down to the tyres.

 

if you want a dropped car.. by a VW lol

 

I personally out grew the slammed look 20 years ago a slight drop will do the job perfectly
The car isn't finished yet as far as I know he has the rear suspension fitted the front is to be done next week then set up height and full fast road geo
Hopefully get it home soon and into body shop for some paint correction
Hoped to drive it this summer eventually

 

haha yea fair one, mines just gone into the garage for a full wheel alignment so will see how I go in after that but might swap the springs for a 10mm drop if no improvement.

 

yeah Davy was saying he still had the front to do then get her set up. I think it will look cooooool when the Geometry is set
She looks cool the way she is now as well lol

 

Car severely testing thy patience lol
What did you have done there big-kev

 

Your car is looking good! What side/front/rear skirts are you running?

Stu

 

 

It will be worth it in the end lol. I was getting my carpet replaced after i ****ed my own up trying to get some chewing gum removed. But spent most of the day having a bit of banter and some craic with Davy and the boys

Davy has helped me out a lot since i bought the car and just got her remapped by sir Bob the other week

 

Bob is a legend and the boys are brilliant above what did it make ? Pm if ur perfer

 

I had a Perrin cold air intake fitted and a home made sports cat and Davy upgraded the fuel pump to a RCM one. The car made 350bhp on unleaded fuel

 

Thanks, it's getting there. Its the HT Autos full lowline kit.

 

Hi There

I've just sold my Wagon and looking to upgrade to a forged Hatch with 400hp+
Doesn't seem to be many around....my preference is for 2010 model.
Any tips as to where & what's coming up gratefully accepted!
Thanks

 

WULL on here has a very nice one in the for sale section , very well priced imo

 

Thanks I'll hava search

 

my new rubber went on yesterday, it's been two years since I last had my 19" GT2's on the car, as I needed two new tyres I wasn't sure what to go for.

opted for Uniroyal RainSport3





looks a lot better

 

any one interested in my STi 17s alloys 114pcd with Dunlop tyres.
Professional powder coated in RAL2009 orange. No kurbing or damage... Great condition.
I only had these for winter use swapping between my 19s from April to start of Dec. I've had them on my car the last 2yrs as didn't know what tyres to have on my 19s.
So as I do no more than 3k a year and the last 12months between MOT its done 2k, these tyres have in total done no more than 7k miles from new.
6mm tread left on each tyre... Seems all the way across too.
Ideal change for someone or use as winter alloys like I have.
Buyer to collect as I don't trust courier not to damage them. (NG4 - Nottm)
£500 or sensible offer.

 

I have a crank sensor and some cam sensors for sale, PM if interested.

Crank sensor is used but working, and the cam sensors are new.
