there are bits of my imprezas everywhere :lol1: great little project though, id consider the suspension next though as the standard wrx set up is not great for an uprated car. Well I've been looking at a set of eibach springs from scoobyworld should lower it by 25mm Also what's your opinion on brakes ? As I'm only going to be running 300ish is it worth getting brembos ? Or shall I just uprate disc and pads ? |

id get brembos, emmas wrx has similar mechanical mods to what you're doing plus brembos and coilovers.

I can't wait for it to be finished :D

Lovely cheers mate :thumb:
|
i saw some brembos on ebay the other day that needed a helicoil insert,they were cheap aswell,might be worth looking for some like that if you can get it helicoil'd yourself
|
What's involved in that Matt ?

May just go all out and get some Porsche brakes like somebody I know :D
you could do the kit in bits by getting the calipers from a breakers then get either alyn@asperformance or ian@godspeed brakes to make some mounts for them discs wise they use the 355mm ap 2 piece kit same as the ap upgrade package then the pads have to be custom machined.alyn has one of my old pads as a template i should imagine that doing it yourself would be alot cheaper than powerstations price + their after sales service is garbage.when i wanted replacement pads they said i would have to wait for them to get about 10 people wanting pads to warrant them getting them made..............:cuckoo::cuckoo: brembos will be fine for fast road use,if you really want the porker set up drop alyn or ian a pm regarding prices etc hope this helps mate p.s @ 10 years old now if you get brembos it may be worth sending them to ian for a stripdown and clean,new seals etc and fresh paint |

pah good luck,over £2k for them but the previous owner put them on so they didnt cost me owt,they do look ****ing awesome and they really do stop the car well but @ £2k+ i have to question if they are that much better than a cheaper ap-set up

|

So would I:notworthy
There's always good sets for sale on here so won't be to hard to find :thumb: |
Save the pennies then get some next month I think :thumb:
|
Looking good sam! If you dont want brembos look at Tarox discs and pads had these on my classic with 4 pots and they made a massive difference!

Little delivery today brought this lot
http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1yblc0n0.jpg Also thanks to Matt for putting me on to Paul to arrange to get all these parts fitted also with a service and a cambelt change as car has hit 60k Few more little bits to purchase up pipe and induction kit and bonnet scoop then will be all systems go :D |
Just a quick thought mate,check your injector seals are ok before you take your car to pauls as he won't fit them if the seals are no good for obvious reasons.if they look a bit past it get some new ones IIRC there is 3 seals per injector
|
The injectors have been serviced and cleaned before he sent them to me mate so take it there spot on
|
Little update Friday will be purchasing a Harvey trick up pipe as I think the combination with the turbo will be fantastic :D
Also I've booked my car in on the 20th of feb and arranged Duncan to map it for me on Monday the 24th, it's booked in to have all the performance upgrades fitted along with, service, cambelt water pump and oil pump fitted thought it was better to be safe than sorry as it's hit 60k Really looking forward to this :D |
