CW42 wil know me as markscania. i have an 04 reg impreza wrx. my insurance company says it's a wr1. it's insured as a wr1 but how do i know it's a wr1? is a wr1 good or standard? please help coz i do not know the difference! as far as i know an sti has a momo stearing wheel and a fancy gear ****!

Are there any drives out for SMACS in the near future?

p.s I live in Buxton

 

If its a WR1 it will be ice blue colour (very light metallic blue). Also it should have WR1 logo's near the side repeaters, Also a adjustable diff (switch near the hand brake and adjustment near the gear stick.

WR1 was the top of the range in the UK 320BHP as std (I think)

I work in Buxton and have not seen a WR1 about but thats not to say its not one

It should look like this

 

Mark, we haven't actually met yet, so I don't know you.
If you have a wr1, it'll be gay blue, like the one above
Next smacs drive is now January, date tba.
Next smacs meet is jan 3rd, where I'll be able to meet you in person








Andy s is a media *****

 

hmmmmmm looks like it aint a wr1 then lol.

thinking of a bigger turbo and an ecu remap, does any1 know wheres the best place to go so i dont get ripped off?

 

hi an welcome Mark

i wont advise you on that question ill let the lads do that as its their job

 

Give Adam a bell, Autotechnica on Harpur Hill Industrial estate (just in front of Health and Safety), his number is 07855 364898

top bloke

 

Adam will sort you the turbo, but wont mapp it, personally i would recomend Richard Bulmer at Tracktive Solutions. Alot of people have used Andy F on here with much success.

 

Prosport, Pete will sort you out for everything you need, he wont rip you off and he will advise as the best way to modify your car without loads of BS

 

thanx guys 4 the help. will be sure 2 give the above a call.

had a qoute off scoobyclinic, £550 for remap and £100 rollin road time. has any1 else done the same for cheaper with good results?

 

What do you want to achieve with the mods Mark?
Pub boasting rights? Better driveability? Better fuel consumption?
What sort of driving do you do/are you going to do?
Drag strip? b roads? a roads and motorway burnouts?
Really does depend a lot on what you want from the car how much it's going to cost. An 04 sti will be good for around 340bhp with a remap and some careful breathing mods. The brakes are good as they are with uprated pads and good discs. Handling mods will get the most out of your car more than any turbo will though. Consider upgrading the suspension in the long term, and short term you should look at anti-roll bars, front and rear, strut braces (engine and boot) anti-lift kit and maybe better springs. Your car may already have some or all of the above done. Well worth getting in touch with the previous owner on the v5 and asking what they'd had done. (if only to find out what car you actually own!)

 

here is the number for Prosport

0161 4329999

give Pete a ring about your remap hun
