Few updates:

Car is at home and we are lost low beam light on drive home from Slowboy Racing,which is now sorted,first drive has been amazing and must say great

Car driving amazingly,what i can say its like new car if i comparing to our old one spec,we are still driving only run-in map with 4500RPM limit but still great to drive every time...Love the sound of PPG and DVless sound(wish i done this before)

Yesterday we are done few tweaks to suspension(4wheel alignment and fitting Whiteline Anti Lift kit) and must say,driving is now real pleasure in every corner.
Suspension is real nice and not softest,but great here in UK,if i comparing with old spring setup,but still think we are need adjust ride heigh and from this we will see if its OK,driving via speed bumps its not pain like before and in Bucket seats still its comfortable..

We are done first long drive yesterday(something like M25 Ring) due our alarm has been need to be done(but at end guy which done alarm has unplug all gauges,ba$tard),plus wheel alignment(Dixon Motorsport,really recommend) and repairing our low beam lights...


And at the end i must say Exedy Twin plate its pain to drive,but everyone said its normal if engine stall;-)

Looking very good mate - just need that elusive roof vent to finish it off

For the mirror switch, you could either re-route the wiring and fit it in the glove box or if there's enough room cut out an opening under the flap at the bottom of the stereo housing

Thanks Dave,not straight swap as you are think,for full swap you will need almost everything from later 05 V8/V9(vent,gear surround,HVAC control etc. and these parts are not cheap)

Those pods look wicked! I've been looking around for the for ages.

What sort of power boost you expecting from the car & who are you using for the remap?

Hi Kas

Really don't know what i can expect in term of boost,really i don't want lie and i don't want say something which can be untrue.

From what i know its possible on MD321T Billet make on V-Power 450-460bhp and on other mixtures we are hopping for around 480-500bhp if will be lucky


About the mapping,Neil and Duncan will be mapped on 6th/7th January and really looking forward on first drive home

Ye i know what you mean. 450-460 is a optimistic target. It should easily make that power & the 2.1 will help alot. MD321T + 2.1 stroker will be a dangerous setup

I look forward to the results

Did you just plug'n'play with the facelift dials or was there some re-wiring done - I've done some research and it seems there's some mods required to get them to work. Tried mine and the revs were high too

Hi Jon

what i've looked on some forums,some people have problem with slightly over reading(100-150RPM,some more) or RPM needle just stall on one place and moving very slowly over these RPM where stall.

What mods needs to be done? I know almost everyone telling about the B28 connector

I have the speedo, rev counter and water temp all reading wrong - Richard Henry seem to be the people who know all about doing this conversion but I've not phoned them yet - may just mod my OE ones as I've seen a thread on NASIOC showing how

I'm back in work next week unless you wait until the weekend. I'll try and speak to Andy at RHM, but from what I've seen the B28 lead is to stop the radio fuse blowing and you simply cut it - anyone want a set of facelift WRX dials with only 58000 miles one them

Yes i know 450-460bhp is optimistic target,but you never know.On 2.1 stroker hope so MD will perform nicely and really can't wait on full power.

OK Joni will PM you later on and probably best will be to do on weekend or when you will have time

If you could speak with Andy@RHM and update too please me and about the B28 is just radio fuse

I will have look somewhere and i will ask Neil too on Friday if this help about the yours speedo conversion.

Just don't sell them and wait until you find possible solution
