No sorry, it's already too cheap, on ebay they are £90 plus postage.
Postage should not cost more than £10-15 max.

In prep for my new larger diameter intake which sits higher in the airbox, I've always been conscious of the intercooler hot pipe which runs through the airbox and under the intake pipe...so made a wee heat shield to funnel any radiant heat out the back of airbox

Need an extra 3" coupler for my new intake...so old scabby one back on in meantime

dependant on power target then you may find a correctly ported set of std headers / matched 'trick' up-pie gives abetter overall result??

Personally i think going to a tubular equal length will be better for the car.

no, but i was under the impression equal length were more efficient for spool and less issues with mis matched temps?

Has anyone on here gone to aftermarket rear control arm lateral links? Thoughts and recommendations welcomed.

I'm also about to have a parts clear out, inc steering wheel, bumper vent trims, fuelab fpr, wrx front arb Whiteline, spec C Shocks, spec C wheels and tyres, 2nd hand Air pump, Mishimoto cai new, and later in year, Invidia titanium race exhaust.
cheers

Hello all, 2nd time Subaru owner, had an RB320 before for a little bit, now got a 330S as a weekend car, only had it about 2 months now. It's not standard but not far off from what I can see, but it does some what to me are weird things when in Sport sharp mode. It seems to auto-blip when changing down, only really seen it from 4th to 3rd or 3rd to 2nd, but scared the crap out of me first time it did it (thought the throttle body was stuck open!!). Is it normal for an auto-blip of the revs when changing down in sport sharp or is that a sign of some ECU tweaking? By auto-blip I mean it revs ups when I put my foot on the clutch to change down when being mildly spirited.

Didn't know how much I missed the rumble and the drama of the turbo lag, loving being back in a Subaru!

This is a feature that can be added when having the car remapped and nothing to worry about. If you don't like it it can be removed.

can and has been done but in general its not a realistic price point to justify the design, time & effort involved as most people wouldn't justify the costs involved when you can buy 'fantastic' ebay ones for a few hundred..........
funnily enough we have spent an inordinate amount of time / money being able to give you genuine information & feedback from the benefit of our testing / experience

I'm getting nowhere with a reply from strongflex.
​​​​Is anyone using these or can anyone confirm if these bushes will specifically fit the STI.

Last of the bracing was a rear brace...wanted something this didn't interfere with boot space, found this kein 3pt brace which fits that requirement perfectly....had to take grinder to evap and pipe work shields, with wee bit of edging to keep it tidy looking...not that anyone would ever see it but i like things looking like they belong there...all fits nicely.

Nice, where did you get that from ?

I have a japspeed one in the garage, which i held off fitting for the reason you mentioned.

Found it on the bay, pricey though, only paid 50 for the japspeed one.

Did you put the dyno mat on Gambit?
I offered up a normal boot brace, and there's no way it fitted the spec C, but I cant see that one working either. Your boot is very different from mine
