Got the car back yesterday and firstly if like to thank Paul of pr developments and Duncan I'd recommend these 2 to anyone both top blokes and extremely helpful
So to the good stuff after the car had a complete service including oil pump, water pump, cambelt, oil filter, spark plugs the car pulled a impressive 333bhp and 340ft lbs
Changed my spec slightly
Sti tmic
Sti manifold
VF35
650cc injectors
Sti decat up pipe
Induction kit
Hrc 255 fuel pump
Japspeed sports cat
Japspeed exhaust system
Eibach springs (30mm drop)
Still a few things to do hopefully will have a set of black mud flaps by end of the month then it will be front splitter, Sti scoop, Sti spoiler
Still running standard brakes atm so more than likely will upgrade to brembos within next few months and just to be safe a new clutch, also may go for a 3" decat system after my mot
I haven't had change to give it a good drive yet irl do that at the weekend, but so far I love it mate couldn't be happier with it just gutted I forgot to ask for pops and bangs lol
Not much has happened since it's been mapped just been enjoying it but to complete the car still needs a decent brake set up but only drive it at weekends and occasionally some nights so that will be done soon but not in a big rush
Decided to start styling it now got a set of black mudflaps on there way then I've decided it needs a Sti spoiler Sti scoop and a front splitter to complete the look
Then after my mot I may go full decat haven't decided yet
So after 7 years I thought I’d revive this thread as a lot has changed lol
In them 7 years my original engine decided to let go so it was decided to go with a semi closed sti engine and fully forge it matched with some Jdm Avcs heads, 1000c injectors with a set of Fuji racing fuel rails, rcm headers and a trick up pipe then came the decision with the turbo cut a long story short of running a laggy turbo for about 4 years I’ll get you to where I am currently today
In the last few days I’ve recently picked up my car this is currently how it is today
Ive had a 6 speed fitted
Had the manifold reversed
New RCMPT07 turbo fitted
Tein coilovers fitted
Had Bob Rawle map it on Friday and I was shocked at the results I’m not one for chasing figures now a days but I was expecting around 450bhp
It made a strong 485 bhp with 432 lbft at 1.5 bar thing is a animal
Have a few plans for her just to tidy her up abit she needs a new carpet and a new steering wheel and a few other little bits and bobs doing and after 9 years of ownership I might finally be happy with her haha
