Hello all,

A freind has a 53 plate standard STi TypeUK and its just out of warranty. He's got a 1000 to spend on it. He's happy with brakes and handling, but he's tempted by the bumpsteer mod.

What would YOU spend a grand on, I think he's thinking more engine than any thing else.

 

remap and sports decat downpipe should be available for 1k. Will free up extra ponies as well

 

no need for the bumpsteer mod on these cars

 

2nd that!! Although if I understand it correctly in the new age cars, the cat in the up-pipe restricts the amount of power the mapper can extract, so I'd be looking at a decat up-pipe too. If you get a remap in a Group buy and maybe your Sports cat DP too, this lot may be acheiveable on 1k.

excellent, what sort of power will he get, around 310/300 maybe?

 

i got 318bhp/314 lbs with just a 2nd hand prodrive downpipe,tsl backbox,green air filter and a remap which i got on a group buy with bob rawle.the total came in at around 950ish and the car was mapped on 97ron fuel.....not to metion the transformation made to the car's driveability and power delivery.my sti is now a proper performance car

 

theres no cat in up pipe on sti only wrx

i'd say save a bit more so he can get all below

remap about £600
full exhaust about £500 - £600
fuel pump about £100
air filter panel about £60

should get between 320 to 350bhp

 

Ah, thanks for putting me straight on that!

Agree with your strategy BTW. I'd port the headers too, but that's more money!
