Had a vast variety of cars over the last few years but mostly hondas and felt it was time for a change.

So sold the civic few weeks back and started looking for something else. I wanted something bigger, more comfortable and with a bit more power. At first i was looking at RWD turbo but the price on them seems to have sky rocketed so decided on this instead.


Set of from the Isle of wight around 6:30am driving to Plymouth in torrential rain and winds and finally arrived back on the island around 7:30. Felt like and really long day but worth it and feeling very happy with the new purchase

Spec at the moment is

Blitz nur spec 3" downpipe back exhaust
lowered 35mm on springs
4pot front brakes
ebc drilled and grooved disks all round

sti rear lights

Another new Dave, first Subaru and previously loving Hondas! Car looks great mate. My last Honda baby was 3 owner, 60k Mile EG saloon, with DC2 type r hub and brake conversion Those engines were just sweet even when worked at 10/10ths!

Nice subaru mate looks like you know how to keep your cars looking tip top.SJ.

Dave.

Thanks for the kind words

The dc2 was a lovely car but owed me far too much money and the only logical step for more power was turbo it. I couldn't justify the money that entails when it would be so unreliable made more sense to me to get something turbo as standard.

Yea I'm loving the change in sound track the nur spec really does rumble nicely but must admit do miss the sound of vtec screaming at 9k rpm lol

Are the bov not good for them then? Or the hks in general? Or is it more the standard recirc works better? I'm new to this so any advice greatly appreciated?

I love keeping my cars clean well it's more of a love hate thing really I love them when there clean and tidy but hate the actually cleaning side of it

But I do try keep my cars up to a high standard

marco58

Yea standard dv works fine and far better for them.

CREWJ

Standard is a recirc, not a dump valve.

marco58

Yes I know that mate but its still a dump valve,was letting him know standard is better.
