Those wheels would look GREAT on my Sti Richard!

I've just ordered the H&S sport cat for mine, so i hope you will secure your car at Loton...

Now, what else is nickable!

Two weeks to go.
Pity you entered the Championship class.
4 Imprezas at Easter on the hill.

Bet Rob will be hard to catch.
Still cloming over tomorrow?

Fingers crossed will see you Saturday morning.

I had a day at home today - really enjoyed cleaning and firtling on the car.

I need to upgrade the turbo on my car (basically it is a WRX engine running a STi Version 3 intercooler, and BHP at present is 275).

Torque is superb though - even though within a relatively small rev range.

As flat4 said + this one has the lower corner splitter style things - suits the car better than old one (I think) and my old one was knackered!

Eventually the car will be perfect for what I need (££££ ALWAYS the predominant factor - but having fun doing bits and bobs when I can).

Default H&Rs v Eibachs on STi Struts

Previously the car was sitting too high on the rear:

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...r/IMG_0011.jpg

As you can see, not quite correct!

Cost was the main issue, as I need to go for coilovers or a Tein set up (mucho £).

The H&Rs are a stop gap until I change the whole suspension set up - the STi struts are the first that need to go.

H&Rs are "relatively" cheap(ish).

Negotiated a Saturday pass from my Team Manager

Will get over about 1130 with my new camera.

Rained a little tonight (I am at Lawley, about 25 mins from Loton), but forecast for Saturday is cool but dry.

Default Thank You

TX

Thanks, and thanks Guys for all the comments.

Taken nearly 12 months to get this far, but on a beautiful sunny Friday, car clean, sounding good - makes me feel good to be an Impreza owner.

Great cars aren't they!

Looking good there, what alloys are they ? they suit the car really well.

I'm running H&R's here also they give a good ride as well as the drop, my uk turbo dropped 25mm against standard as a reference.
