Looks a nice base to start from.
Uk300 wheels are great, not that I'm biased as I have them lol.

Is that a Escort RS2000 in the background 2WD or 4WD?

My 1st car I drove was my Dads Escort Cosworth Monte, took it to college for a week!
Then I got my 1st Sierra Cosworth when I was 21.

Can't beat a proper Ford RS.

Here's my mates Escort Cosworth


My Saph

Fully polished engine, 400bhp and AP 6 pots.

My Dad basically had this:

Nice car Lottie. I like the direction you're taking it.

When upping the power it would be worth upping the brakes too, I've always felt the WRX brakes are weak but for 300-bhp odd it would be worth doing something such as grabbing a set of Brembos with discs off a broken STi.

I will be going for something better either brembo or tarox, depends what i can get behind the rims, the brakes aint great like you say and would need something much better if i was to get 300+bhp.... btw its Lee here lol

The wife is Lottie and drives a volvo xc90! lol can't laugh really i love the xc90 too, only bad thing when i drive the xc90 is i forget i am not in the scooby and go into rounabouts a bit too quick hahaha!
