my 2 pence worth. Hence I went with omega as on all the different marque of cars they do I don't think I can find any fault or problems

so not alot to update at the minute, the car hasnt moved in about 3-4 weeks and as such the battery has gone flat again. i now have a ctek battery conditioner so will get that hooked up once ive jump started it. in no rush at the minute as i recently dislocated my shoulder/fractured my shoulder blade along with bicep/chest injuries so im out of action for a while.
regarding the build.......it will still be happening but i wont be pushing for 500bhp now due to costs/other financial requirements but i will be heading for anywhere between 420-450bhp.
once im able to drive a manual again i will pop over to thwaites to get an exact quote for the build.
best turbo for 420-450bhp on a 2.5............give recommendations please

erm not really, there is only £2k between the cheapest and the most expensive. im looking more at what i actually want and who can give me that and future map tweaks/maintenance etc. its catch 22 as my preferred local specialist dont do the ecu i would like which is a shame.

well............SHE LIVES FINALLY.
managed to jump start her from my jeep today since i parked her up 8 weeks ago due to my broken shoulder, i pulled the fuel pump fuse to dry crank it but it disabled the starter circuit so i quick timed the ignition start/stop maybe 15 times and then fired her up, she started fine with no rattles/smoke etc. i let her idle for 15 mins then took her out for an hour or so.................loved it

so im back in another impreza-couldnt keep away to be honest.
its a late 07 hawk sti
engine
forged 2.5 with a closed deck block built and mapped by scoobyclinic running 351bhp
mahle pistons
std rods with arp bolts
new crank
acl bearings
cosworth gaskets
heads fully rebuilt with upgraded valves/springs and retainers
cr turbos rebuilt and fettled with vf43 turbo
japspeed fmic
scoobyclinic induction kit
full set of silicone hoses
extreme lightweight flywheel
ap racing clutch
forge dump valve
denso 750cc injectors
3" de-cat downpipe
afterburner vortex backbox
hsd coilovers
perrin wing stiffies
defi gauges in dash pod
xxr 527 in a custom gunmetal paint
car has only covered 70k and is pretty much mint apart from a slight crease in the paint on rear bumber and a large stone chip on the front bumber.
future plans-
front and rear bumper respray along with spraying my fmic in silver
set of big brakes or refurb the brembos and a set of godspeed 2 piece discs
the hsd's are rusted solid so a set of bc's along with various bushes if needed and an anti-lift kit.
tyres all past their best so will order a set of vredestein ultrac sessanta from camskill as they are only £75 each at the minute.
would like a set of dtm mirrors but cant seem to find any
would also like to push more power but as its on std rods i guess im limited somewhat even though it has a closed deck block,perhaps 400bhp is
possible..........

Another pass on the old mot, turns out I have only driven 1300 miles since last April........I must try and drive her more.
The tester said he was really impressed with it and it was a pleasure to mot it. He has said that the underside would benefit from a good clean and some sort of treatment which i will get sorted this year. All in all for a 12 year old jap ****-box it's a good-un......

Sorry to hear that. I had a bit of a setback 4 years ago, aged 49; before that I had a relatively physical job and felt pretty invincible, so I get that. I was self employed and unable to work for nearly a year, so things were going **** up. But it actually made me, when I was well enough, go and do something that I had always wanted to do. Silver linings and all that. Good luck, I'm sure it will be sorted quickly.
