Whilst the twin scroll jdm's don't burble they still sound fantastic + spool up hugely quicker than a "normal" scoob ... bike like scream near the rev limit too

Agreed.


But I think he said it's a non-JDM (previous page, post 57)... But at least he'll get his desired burble, though.

Get it checked over properly and surely if your buying it from a dealer get a full mot and service thrown in
its a buyers market.
Usually cars are cheap for a reason

I wanted to take it so I got money taken off for those things and I would rather get them done myself for reassurance.

Every time I open a door or turn it off and on again etc. It's for the immobilized and blackjax.

What are the best things to get more power?? Full decat panel filter, injectors?

Blackjax will drive you nuts but its a great protector so to speak

Full decat
Decent plugs
Panelfilter/CAI
Walbro 255 fuel pump
Ecutek

Should see you around 330-340

Theres a guy possibly breaking his car on SN members cars for breaking, that has a ecu i think with ecutek or a flash on wants £80

Will need mapping unless you stick to his spec

The STI uppipe has no cat in it anyway. Just the downpipe needs swapping out for a decat job.

front bumper needs a repspray (lacquer peeling), few scratches around the car, none deep but some have been touched in.
2 doors have had a repair done to them and i can see a few silicones and some fish eye's.

as i said, its only as i know what to look for but most wouldnt notice these points.

so how much would you estimate the cost of repair if your are not in the trade?

depending on what you actually want, i would say the front bumper (whole) £150-£200
n/s/r bumper £100
thats all it needs to get it up to scratch. but to get it 'mint', i would say £600-£900, but thats to get it looking brand new.

how can i find out what decat downpipe i need? what size etc? i think its got a ninja 2 cat back on it but want a downpipe.

thanks
