are all bootlids alloy then? what other lightened bits are there on an sti? information much appreciated thanks.

 

hi chaps.

If it was Zen what would you guess gents?

remember i'm not looking for massive figures, it has to be a safe map first and foremost. I know Zen would have the same view.

 

none of the bootlids are alloy.
You are about to fall foul of the magnet test.
Go get a small magnet, try all the body panels and then be disappointed when it only fails to stick to the bonnet.

Only the bonnet is alloy.

The only other options for lighter than standard are GRP which can look cack to get lightweight or seriously expensive carbon fiber, and even then the majority of carbon bonnets and bootlids are actually heavier than standard!

 

Ah, the magnet test, of course, so simple. Cheers mate I'll try it. What other weight differences are there?

 

ally lower arms.
Thats about your lot to be honest.

 

Right enough :redface:

 

Lower arms! They're def alloy

 

so what was the outcome??????
i might change my mind and say 301bhp..hahaha.

chris..

 

lol, well turns out you'd be wise to!

unfortunately there was no graph to print, but if you know andy f, you'll know his estimates are usually spot on so it goes like this: 330bhp and 310-330ftlb

Phil739 was closest! you win £1.50

i must say it really feels brutal now, i can't imagine what you guys up in the 400's need all that for

the sound as well has become well aggressive. and for some reason my standard dump valve has woken up.

loving it, not subtle by any stretch now, but hey.

speaking of not subtle, heres a pic i took earlier, featuring the slightly larger scoop, not the sti8 one. I'll probably only use this scoop for trackdays now but had to map it with scoop fitted.

no pics of engine bay yet, but its not subtle under there either got a splitter and a turbo jacket still to go on.



cheers,
Chris.

 

Good results, and car looks well

 

Why's it got Subaru written on those graphics down the bottom of the back doors? It is so dogs taking a p*ss will know what they're lifting their leg against?

 

cheers ozzy!

eloquent

Its written there cos I like it

 

nice car mate.. and good figrues

i'd leave the scoop on mate,looks a very clean preza..
chris

thanks both for the kind comments. it drives so beautifully.. annoying that the trackday season is over though hehe.

i have to remind myself now that i've got work to do, can't just be burning petrol all day now...

Cheers,
Chris.

 

maybe not everyones cup of tea.

yellow engine bay;
