Default It's Been a Long Wait.....

But finally I've got my wagon to a stage I'm happy with. I've owned her now for over 4 years and in that time I've had a fully forged rebuild built around a HKS 2.2 stroker kit and API has just finished fitting my new turbo (TD06-49), fuelling set up and fmic.

Engine bay now looks like this:

New parallel fuel set up and fpr:

A few pics of the yellow beast:

Car was mapped at API by Pat and she pulls like a train. The hit between 4-6k is awesome even though I'm only running 1.4 bar at the moment to preserve the gearbox. I'm happy with the engine in this spec and will now turn my attention to the brakes and some slight handling modifications.

So, isn't she a beaut??

Glad you like my wagon

It is a little bit laggier than the MD304 that was on - not sure if that is the turbo, the new fmic, or a combination!! Don't really notice it that much to be honest.

It's very fast now and pulls really strongly - I would estimate pushing 380-400bhp. Gonna try and get her on the dyno asap just for peace of mind!!

It is a rare colour, and not everyone's cup of tea but I like it. Think it's the only sti 6 wagon in cashmere yellow in the UK

Dave , we have had one other wagon in that colour a few years ago, belonged to a lady from Gatwick way if I recall.

BUT it is a unique colour I have seen 2 x 4 doors and 1 x coupe over the years, that's it.

I've got some 18" OZ P1 WRC's on the way in anthracite which should look the biz - give me some more brake fitment options as well
