Thanks Guys,
I am not the greatest at documenting things, but this is one of the reasons why I'v started this Thread, all will be in one place.
I am doing the Blackpool lights run on 29th, and Cadwell on 4th December. so I will start to strip after that, with Before and after pics.
Thanks for the advice on the Airbags.
At this point in time the car still has all the stickers still on from TOTB
The Richard Henry Motor sport stickers will be left on the car, this if for Thanks to Him for all his Help. as the car will be competing in sprints mainly the Sti rear spoiler will be removed and replaced with a small lip spoiler, I know quite a few of you guys are not in favour, But there is a weight difference.
As you can see I am still on a top mount.
The engine will cope with 650BHP so I might go front mount and An after-market ECU As I am still running std, but in that short sentence I have just spent 3k, but it will take the power up to 560bhp ish

loads of clearance at the front, rear 4mm to spring on the inside and 3mm to rear arch, but the arch could still be rolled to let me have a bit moor if I wanted, but it is only WRX not the wide track sti
Toyo r888s
Advan ad08 now
Avon slicks
At Cadwell 2 week on Sunday, then after that trying to find some time to start stripping car down.
Have you got any projects on the go,,,, 2 door new age still? any thing else?

Cheers for that Bez.
I'm putting my wide arch blob back on the road for next year, and hoping to use it for a few sprints, although whether it will have 2 or 4 doors remains to be seen.
I'm thinking of using 17" wheels, hence the question.

Photos coming soon,
a fare bit of work has been carried out on the car over the cold winter months,
Started having a good strip out of the motor,
Any on want any WRX hawkeye rear seats before they get binned?
Added a bit of weight, 11lb bottle of Noz in the place of the rear seats.
Q release steering wheel,
As I said, I will post some picks up soon.

No Bud, got the Guy at the bottom of the post to fit it, Andy @ Richard Henry Motor sport, to fit it, he does all the work on the car, top bloke.
The switch for the Noz, Fighter pilot style lift and turn on, then program with the thing that looks like where the stereo goes
The max extreme run along side the Std ECU, then I can run 4 maps on the Noz with a std road map on the cars ecu,
The 4 maps can be
1. Drag
2. Sprint
3. Circuit
4. Road use.
I would never use Noz on the road, the car is mad enough without

Is this going to be a "tow to track" car or "road going track" car Bez?
I love the Newage over classic's due to creature comforts, but if i decided to go fully fledge track only car then I may go classic this time
Some consideration to had.

Hi Rob,
the car is still a road legal Car, Driving down to Spa for the Subaru track day,
Some sprints, I do tow it there, This is just for carrying tools, fuel, tyres ect
But the car does still get used on the road,
How else can it be mapped?
Arf, yep I will cover that darn wire
Rob, If I new what I know now about Scoobs, and what I have done to mine, I would of defo started with a classic type R 2 door.
New age are too heavy
