Had the car at Taylor Motors with Rick. Great job as ever
First he did the Downpipe, changing to A Prodrive 100% Sports Cat DownPipe. Didn't want the hassle of the Full Decat + Remap. Can't afford it anyways
Had a Mare with one Bolt. Must of took 30mins or so. Didn't want to snap it so had to be really Carefull. Sorted it tho Put new Gasket on both sides and bolts
Top Mount Off For The DownPipe
Downpipe Fitted & Top Mount Back On
Didn't think it would do/feel much difference. How wrong was I
Feels alot faster
I know you prob get around 6-10bhp more but it Picks up loads more quicker. Pops And Bangs even more. Mrs Hates it but what's new
As for the Springs and the Shocks. I kept the Standard Front Shocks as they were ok, just changed the springs for Eibatch ones Thanks to Lee
Old Shocks & Springs Off
Changed the Rear Shocks to KYB Ultra SR's. Old ones were Shot (no surprise)
Car feels alittle abit harder on Bumps and stuff but I think it's cos I'm not used to it. Alot more grip and Looks tons Better
Not caught the Speed bumps near me either. Still time tho
How it used to Sit.
Here's afew shots I took today. Defo need the Windows doing now then it's done

very nice buddy, am also looking to get a front splitter and maybe some rear spats for my bug from ht autos, quick question on the skirts tho did you paint the standard ones or get some completely different ones? as i need to either refit and repaint mine or find some different ones as mine are starting to look tacky 
thanks

Thanks mate! Can't go wrong with HT Auto's stuff. Very good quality! Their just the standard ones painted. Makes a big difference. Did fancy the STI ones, but then it would of been another £60-120 just to get them plus Painting!

Quick clean today, not been done proper since last year. Used that Aqua Wax, not fantastic but ok for a Quickie
Here some Picture's I took. Not got time to upload anymore. Might try 2mrw if I get chance. Just need the Window's Tinting (Medium + Light) Wrx Seat Covers
Hoping to get them before the baby's here in June. Then it's Nappy's All The Way
If I keep her that is Who Know's
Here Goes... Comments As Ever People. Good Or Bad. You know me, I'm not Arsed

Thanks guys. To be honest, I don't know if I just fancy a change! These cars are supposed to be driven and mine doesn't. 10 miles a week give or take.
Prob won't tho. Major service next month and MOT. Couple of £££ there. Looking on fleebay at Audi A8 4.2 & BMW E39 530i & 540i Sports. Just looking tho. I think with the Windows done and I start using it more when the little ones here I'll change my mind.
Just fancy some Luxury and Toys, with more Power of course. Ahhh well, going to Harrogate in 30 mins. Should be a good drive up there. An hour or so. I'll come back loving her again
God I can waffle.. Anyone got a Werthers Original
