Default my new car

Hello,

I joined about 6 weeks ago and finally got my car on monday. Its a classic sti, i'm the first owner in the uk. I love it, i've been looking forward to it for so long and finally its here and better than expected! The noise..... love it! It was nice and clean when i picked it up, but its done 360 miles since then!

Its pretty standard apart from different suspension, turbo back exhaust and advan wheels.

Ok Rich, i'll find you later at the lodge.

Frayz, there is no comparison. Its faster, handles better, looks better, sounds better and is altogether better! Also it is more economical, it uses less fuel then the mr2!! I love the sounds it makes...... its just fantastic!! I'm looking forward to the lodge meet tonight!!

Good to meet you to mate..... I had a bit of a sleepless night worrying about the car, i checked on it 3 times. Where did you say I can get the brembo brakes from? I'm sorting out some 17" wheels today.

Have a look at this place for the Brembo's.

Jap Performance Parts : Home

You also need to make sure the offset is right on the wheels so they fit over the brembo's, I am not sure of the offset of my new age STI wheels of the top of my head but someone on here should be able to tell you.
