Thanks

lol @ Simon

If i had a spare £120k I'd be buying an Aston, GT2 911 or Superlegga

carlpcross

well guys, i managed to fit the mic for the nav unit, only took around 30 mins (cant believe the stealers wanted over £100 to fit) which i am well proud of because i have never done anything like that before.
all i need to do now is find out how to sync contacts with the iphone (if u can).
also got some exhaust surrounds and a dual console box to fit, but dont think i am up to fitting the fog lamp kit and the electric mirror module.......

Simon C

Yup, with that kind of cash, Aston would be first on my list, a nice DBS for starters.

carlpcross

just fitted the dual console box, took 10 mins dealers wanted over £50 for the pleasure

much better aint it carl?

had it in the hawkeye and missed it when i removed and sold to Norm. had to go in the hatch.

The comments on the BBC Top Gear website made me smile....here is one of them:

Do Subaru not realise that the hatch Impreza will never be as good as the original sedans? Evo's getting better, Impreza's getting fatter.

carlpcross

Yes, although they are alot of money for what they are, lots better, should really come as standard.

Isn't the hatch the first Impreza to be faster on the TG track than its equivalent Evo, 1:28 against 1:28.2? Add to that the Impreza has a lot of room for improvement without spoiling its road manners. An Anti-lift kit, Roll bars and the rear sub-frame mod should make it feel as good as the Evo but be even faster still.

Evo X or STI Hatch

the price of the STI also gives you scope to upgrade lots of parts to still come under the lowest Evo X OTR price!!!

Someone need to add that bad word 'Evo' into the swear filter because everytime i read it on here i f***ing swear at the pc






You got any pictures of how it looks?

Can anyone tell me what diameter the front fog lights are on the 08 STI and does anyone have a picture of how they mount?

Thanks,

At the risk of being stupid, how do you get the picture in the post like you've done?, instead of the photobucket link?
Nice car BTW. Wheels look great.

carlpcross

just copy and paste the IMG code

You don't need an account if you use imageshack.

The hatch has just gone in for a 20k service at Slowboy Racing, Don't tell the missus but I've got some Whiteline goodies going on at the same time. New boots Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetrics going on later this week.

Has anyone had the re-valveing of the power steering done by either powerstation or Litchfield imports? Is it a kit of parts that my local tuner can install for me. Has anyone upgraded the steering bushes, can you really feel the difference?

Had to test drive an XC90 at the weekend, not as bad as you think, but is does mean the WRX Hawkeye will have to go

gieleuh

Since friday I'm finally driving my WRX hatch from 2008 but there is something that is ignoring me!

When I drive a pretty unsmooth road there is an irritating noise that comes from my left front side. It's like some plastic box that is loose or frontshock that make abnormal sounds. Is just like a speaker with bad bass and some trrrr . I have a left hand drive btw so maybe someone has it on their right side?

Thanks for any reply

Car is back from 20k service ARB's and ALK hae really changed the feel of the car, much more direct steering feel, really alert in the corners. Ride appears to have firmed up some though.
Just found out I need new pads, any suggestions. General road use so was going to go for Mintex.
Also the rear diff seal appears to have perished/started leaking so will need replacement, anyone else had the same issue?
When can we get a dedicated section on Scoobynet for Hatches?

Hi to you too, where do I know that name from?

[edit] NM I worked it out, Hi Alan

Pads - Ferodo DS2500 would be my choice.

Have the seats being fitted on Friday then all the mechanical stuff being done hopefully next week.

Is ALK worth doing (I have them on both classics I've owned) - i have f & r ARB's, springs and rear bushes going on but haven't really thought about fitting ALK.

Any comments?

Potiriadis

Hard to say as I had arb and alk fitted at the same time (saved on labour). The sterinv feels more direct, and the car feels more stable under acceleration and braking, but I don't know how much more is comi h from the arb's. What the garrage did say though is that the alk for the hatch has camber adjustment hilt in so no need for extra kit to adjust this. Slowboy racing have put a fast road geo on the car. I'll know more when I put the new boots on later this week.
I heard the ferodo pads needed a pit of heat in them. It's a daily drive so I really don't want anything too extreme, just don't want to pay out for brembo pads!
