If You wish to stay alive use black ones or swap tyres for winter

 

Car looks great mate, you should be well proud of that

 

Cheers buddy will give the car a good scrub and get some better pics


I think your right Jon but then we don't want him spitting his dummy out again and putting up a "breaking thread"

Martin

 

I don't get you mate




Martin

 

How's she sits for now





Re map to maffless next Friday when the fmic goes on too

Martin

 

Not too bad, who's doing your remap

 

Cheers Jon , being mapped by Andrew Carr.

Tyres tread, do you wanna use slicks on winter?
car looks great btw, you spent hundreds on it but I dont get you with tyres, maxis and other crap, dont tell me you ever push your car on corners or roundabouts with them.
l know tubbytommy is your friend- he bought car with everything done and changed one thing- brembos for d2 kit with standard pads, and h8s tyres falkens 452 wtf-i dont get you both.

 

What's wrong with falkens, I've run them for years as have many others - they provide a good balance between grip and value

 

but you know everything about performance, and bought a wrx.

enough said really

oh and i didnt buy a car with ANYTHING done, it was 100% standard when i bought it and my d2s run ferodo ds2500 pads.

 

I see, so your another one of tubbys fans then thanks for the advice or what ever you want to call it the maxis have been great and to be fair I'd use them again as I've had no problems at all with them and for the price they've been great value for money as for the slicks they're on there whilst I get a puncture repaired but then why am I justifying myself to you my car my money my choices

Martin

 

I really like. But then ilike gold/black

 

Cheers fella

Martin

 

looking good martin, black and gold go well think I prefer them to the dark ones

 

Looks nice matey

 

Cheers fellas

Martin

 

Got any new pictures of the rear? I was thinking of doing the widetracked rear.

 

Just snapped a couple for you now mate






Martin

 

Stunning. Looks spot on. Well done

 

hate reading this thread as it reminds me of my bug

 

 

Roy looks a nice one fella. Bugs aren't to everyone's taste but I like them and with a few subtle changes they look great

Martin

 

Car looks amazing!!

Prefer the gold on black, shows how nice the wheels actually are, where as the black wheels dont photo too well(dont show the spokes), probably look better in the flesh though!!

Wish I had my wheels done gold now, but just had them done gloss black!!!

 

Got back last night after a long day at Cams. The lads worked hard all day to fit the hdi fmic which was a bit of a mare cutting the bumper bar.

Bumper cut and mesh fitted then Andrew Carr took the car out for the carberry map.

Few boost leaks which Brian sorted then back out and now the car drives amazing.

Dual map, anti lag (FUN), maffless, dump valve less, cars real smooth to drive and pick up/torque is so much better. Few pics from last night







Good wash this weekend and going to enjoy it now

Martin

 

Looks great mate, glad to hear it goes well to as apart from the DV i'm looking for a similar spec, just need to get all my bits back from Ryan

 

Looks awesome mate

 

Cheers Jon, bit unsure about the dv delete so asked the question if I put the re circ on would it mess the map up cars lots smoother and seems to be very torquey next up is a oil catch can wheres the best place to get one?

Thanks Craig

Martin

 

does it need a catch can?

 

Glad ya pleased pal, personally I wouldn't mess with the dv setup you have had it mapped with. Opinion's seem to vary on this but the car was mapped with certain airflow attained, by introducing the recirc you could alter the parameters somewhat IMO.

I am sure some people will say the recirc is just piping the boost back to pre turbo to reduce compressor stall but I wouldn't risk it.

 

Brian suggested I fit one now I'm running a fmic, should loose the metal breather pipes too which look a little in tidy aswell

Cheers Andy yes probs going to stick with it now and see how it goes, the flutter does sound cool
You have a catch can on your blob mate?
