That's the exact UEL manifold I have fitted to my Impreza GX Sport, it's a quality item and sounds perfect. Ships from the USA within a week and no customs/tax etc to pay. I couldn't recommend it enough

Nice write-up Tom, very different.

Well its never going to be as low as my old clio was, 4.5cm ground clearance.....from the sump So already know what it takes to drive a low car lol

Going to order one of those manifolds when i get the money, but want to get the stance sorted first. Need some camber bolts now

Good man.

Re: Carbon. I did mine myself, ordered it of the roll from these guys: http://www.ecfibreglasssupplies.co.uk. It's not as professional as it could be, but also cost a fraction of the price ;]

Re: Camber bolts. I ordered 3 sets (Eibach ones) for mine, but only ended up using 1 set (front coils are adjustable and 1 set in the rear gave me 4 degrees, which I figured was plenty... (more would look epic, but I'd be going through tyres far too fast)), so £15+p&p a set if you want them?

Okay awesome mate, ill definatly take 1 set but ill have to wait till wages come in next week lol. Ill PM you though

Righty ho, Was raining this morning but stopped at about 1, so made a start at half 1. Couple of hours and plenty of cups of tea later we're all done!

Was so rusty under there i was amazed none of the bolts sheared tbh, but luckily they held up. Fronts went on easy peasy once we got old ones off, which required cutting the brake line bracket of (to avoid disconnecting brake lines, fecking rediculous bracket, was either cut off or take brake lines off, crazy japs!), but rears took a lil longer as had to strip interior to get to suspension turret lol. But got it done in around 4 hours so not bad going

Looks awesome now, not low enough quite yet, but low as i can go on front without arch rolling as it rubs under braking atm. rears need lowering about half inch or more but its getting dark now so ill do it later in the week.

Coileyes havnt been altered at all yet, this is just how they arrived so bear that in mind! Although the bolts on the front allowed for some minor camber adjustment as standard, so we set fronts to maximum atm....although still more available on the top mounts

Our Workshop:





Perfect offsets:







And one of interior with seats and Nardi wheel fitted, makes such a difference, its a really nice place to be now

with that

comment in mind it was probably a waste of your time posting as if you take a step back !
you will see that if people all moddified there cars in exactly the same way same wheels same colour same hight! same moddifications ie compleatly standard and did nothing to personalise there car to how they want do you think you would be writting it then ?
as i can assure you there would be NO scoobynet or any other car club for that matter !
constructive critasism is welcome and everyone is entitled to ther opinions but if there is nothing better to say leave it at the door on your way out !

Yes, but this is a discussion forum and if you put your car up here for comment you have to accept the good with the bad.

What DCI is saying is that he feels the car is being lowered too much. I agree with him for what it is worth and we are entitled to say so as much as you are entitled to say otherwise.

Then why dosent DCI say that, give me some constructive critisism? I dont even car if he likes it! Dosnt even matter if anyone else likes it as long as its what I want.

Why try and be funny by making a comment like that?

Anyway id rather keep my thread clear of all this, so unless you two want to grow up id rather you keep out and leave me to my business?

Anyway, i got called in early at work and only just got back so didnt get chance to get any better pics

Looking at just getting STI or WRX brakes, seen some nice ones but really cant afford £400 atm! Just want some cheap callipers and discs! And then clean them up and paint red.

Clear indicators on their way also

Also going to lower it a lil bit tommorow aswell to get it level
