Ok so I have a £1000 to spend on the Scooby but wanted to know where others would spend it?

The car is a nearly standard 03 Blob STi PPP with a decat, and prodrive back box and remap from bob rawle. I would like more power, however looking after the car is also a big big thing for me.... it's currently running 320bhp. Any thoughts?

 

Personally with the power you already have I would look at upgrading the suspension if it is required

 

Not a bad idea looking at new tyres too for the winter... all adds up though ha.

 

Fury dice and a gift card. For mc D's

 

Deffo get the handling tightened up. A full set of powerflex bushes or equivalent along with a good geometry setup. This will alllow you to enjoy the car, I did all the bushes on my bugeye then got the geometry setup done and could not believe the difference.

 

I spent £150 on STI suspension, and another £100 on a Litchfield geo setup. The other £750 (if you haven't already) I'd spend on a decent stopping solution, ie. brakes.

 

Tyres , oil change , brake lines , pads , front or rear ARB
& some screen wash with the change

 

bought rota fighters with eagle 1 tyres - nice.

 

i would spend it on fuel lol

 

Coke and hookers.

 

sorted

 

Bigger turbo and map tweak

 

Thanks for replies. Since I've had the car I have already changed the oil, filters and coolant. Always a good idea for piece of mind ha

Are the standard sti suspension not great then? I was*advised to get a strut brace... is it worth it?

Brakes are near the top of my list..no point having power and oopps. ..can't stop!

Coke and hookers though....

 

Spend a few hundred on a decent brake set up.
Then spend the rest on driver training. No point having all that power if you don't know how to use it.

 

I would do the suspension that's what I'm doing with 2k I have spare, but you say brakes, I find the brembos perfectly up to the job on a road any brakes will slow a car from 70, unless you plan to track then I would make sense

 

power station do a front and rear arb
drop links and alk and geo for £550 fitted

get a set of 2nd hand coil overs and you will be well away

stu

 

oh and also the genuine sti front strut brace that iv got for sale ;-)

that will fit your car

stu

 

This is what i would do, that kit (or similar) plus a set of BC's from Scoobyworld for £675 = £1225, bit over your spare cash but will transform the handling

Good one....

 

How much mate?

 

Dump valve










































Lol only messing, suspension upgrade.

 

a decent set of wheels?

 

was £75 picked up but to you £65 picked up if your colse to colchester

stu

 

Stuart power station really do that ? Is it on there site? It's not the wire drop links to is it?

If I had £1k in my hand to spend on my car I would spend it on beer and protitutes

 

Oh Steve do stop it...

Suspension and brakes it will probably be then... ta muchly! And a few other bits

 

I'll pm you tomorrow pal.... to p***ed now

 

Performance Friction 2 piece front disc & bell, with Z rated pads all round, HEL braided lines, Perrin PSRS, Perrin drop links front & rear, with a professional full GEO set-up!!
Might be just over £1k but well worth it..

 

As many people here recommend: Front and rear ARB's(Eibach or WhiteLine),solid droplinks,good wheel alignment and don't forgot on the brakes(PF Z-rated pads are good and really I can only recommend them,Performance Friction disc can be out your budget,but speak with Alyn@AS Performance)
