After a long wait for registration details from the DVLA, I finally picked up this from Hurst Cars


A clean canvas, more or less standard 2010 JDM Hatch STi.

It's just had a new RCM cambelt kit fitted, so next plans for piece of mind is all fluids & rear discs and pads.

A grade 4.5 from the carvx Jap history search




Got to give it to Max for his excellent prep and the lovely car:














Unfortunately due to the splitter it won't get on my drive so is parked on the road



I'll remove the splitter for now, but hopefully get the ride height adjusted along with alignment soon.

At some point I'll get an exhaust, fuel pump, fuel filter, induction kit, 3 port and Ecutek remap.

I still have my V5 Type R Ltd tucked away for my son.

 

Nice! Why didn't Hurst do the fluid change for you before sale as a gesture?

 

Nice choice

I have a set of genuine brand new mats for it if you fancy




£60 all in delivered as postage is £18 or pick up for £40

 

He thought it was done, just one of those things his worker forgot to do. To be fair to him he popped the bonnet & pulled the dip stick himself then said it's not been changed and offered money off along with an apology. So no complaints at all from me.

 

Stunning these jdm hatches are getting common as muck now lol

 

Ah fair play then Pop to Japfest in it next Saturday for a run

 

Very nice,enjoy.

 

Thanks but there's already 2 sets off mats and I'm now broke so unless you'd accept payment in Y-Fronts I will struggle

Lol, you're setting trends
I know of hedgecutter, PT82 and yourself from here. Are there many more?

I would love to just to hear your exhaust Mine has only been map checked at RCM to make sure everything is okay which I'm assured it is. But I'll be driving it easy till it mapped properly so no track time yet.....
Ideally I would like a track day and a round of the 22b sprints this year.

 

Congratulations. I can bin your pm about my spec c now!

 

Thanks and yes bin that

In my list of known JDM hatch owners from Scoobynet I forgot the original, the one that made me want one in the first place, juggers with his R205

 

The r205 is something else

 

I've had mine for 2years now and love it! Good all round motor. Saw this on hurst website. Very clean! Simply lovely!

 

We need start a jdm hatch owners thread
They are a phenomenal car

 

Had a nice day out in Leicester yesterday.


All fluids changed, spark plugs, air and pollen filters and ride height raised.



Just waiting for confirmation when Bob Rawle is next at Chevron for a remap with RCM fuel pump, fuel filter, Milltek and 3 port.

 

Brilliant to see the jdms getting bit of tuneage

 

Are you getting Ecutek? Bob wouldn't touch mine on open source.

Does a JDM need an uprated fuel pump for a remap?

Get Simon at Chevron to do a full fast road geo setup while you are there


Fancy Tunerfest at Oulton on 22nd?

 

Yes I'm hoping for Ecutek racerom.

Re: Fuel pump: Mines not a spec C unfortunately and has done over 50k and needs a new fuel filter anyway. Yours I'm sure will be uprated already
I'll definitely ask Simon to look at the Geo. RCM raised it all round by about 2cm and feels much better now.

 

Let us know how it goes
Ask Simon for a tour around Joseph's time attack car. It's a weapon. There are some hatch rally cars that he looks after also with very interesting suspension setups

 

Bob mapped my car yesterday and kindly sent through the below graph. It's still with Chevron for more suspension tinkering. I can't wait to pick it up tomorrow
Engine mods for the below are:

Turbo back heat wrapped Milltek Twinscroll exhaust
Walbro fuel pump
3 Port boost solenoid
Cosworth panel filter
Bob Rawle Racerom remap (High/Low boost settings, launch control, FFS, Auto-blip on downshift & in gear boost control)

 

Nice. 9 bhp more than me lol
What does FFS mean?
Would love the auto blip function, I'm **** at heel and toe!

 

FFS stands for flat foot shifting. Bob said it needs to be used with caution, I can't see myself using it to be honest.
The service from Chevron and Bob together has been 10/10. Especially considering Simon's house was hit by lightening and burnt down last week.

 

Yeah forget using that! Bet you can't wait until tomorrow!
You still on standard clutch?

 

Couldn't say for certain, loads of history with the car but it's all in Japanese.

 

Bet that shifts now

 

Lovely looking car. Can't beat a bob rawle map. Would love a small hatch!

 

How was the drive home? ;-)

 

Jdm hatch meaning

 

It does
My first time with Bob, but I'm really really happy with it.
Very nice thanks, the exhaust is very quiet, so my neighbours will be happy.
​​​​​​ The Chevron alignment has transformed the car.
That's it for me now. Just service items as and when needed

 

Good to hear buddy. Don't blame you on the spending, it can get out of control, it has a little with me but I'm nearly there. Mishimoto CAI and TMIC with a map tweak and then just spend my spare cash on petrol

My H&S is a little loud for my tastes but not enough to get rid.

I was also very happy after the Chevron geo setup, gave me much more confidence in the corners!

 

Any chance of seeing the alignment values from either of you at Chevron?
If you can pm me the price, that would be good too.
