My new car
 

thanks to winning the competition on scoobynet for a powerstation remap, I finally got off my ass and started looking in earnest for a new motor. I've had my silver classic for nearly 3 years now, and done over 60k in it. All good fun, and I've thouroughly enjoyed my classic scooby ownership. However, it's time to move on, and get a car with a little more, shall I say, class? :)
As much as I'd like a spec c, I've a family to run around, and also have to consider the wife driving the car occasionally, so I've gone for a nice my03 (53) sti with ppp. Just picked it up today, from Just-Sports in Oldham, big thanks Nige :) and had a run around between Oldham and Huddersfield. Then I had an order from my son to meet him at school for dinnertime, so he could see the car in the flesh :) Who am I to dissapoint? :)
And, after posting this, I'm off out tonight to show the smacs lads :)
New flaps coming soon for the car, and maybe a front splitter for xmas :) (and so the modding begins :))
Chris.

Thanks for the comments guys, I'll take a few more nicer pictures when the rain isn't lashing sideways :)

K8donn, I'll post up for a meet soon m8, maybe one weeknight next week. Keep an eye on the northern section. So have you got the same car then? :)

chris.

very very nice Chris :)

Phil

Nice one Chris :D

Hi Chris I bought a 2003 sti type uk with ppp, I got quite a good deal as i work in the motor trade only paid 12k will start using it next week now, can't wait

Simon

Like the car mate. Shame we couldn't get out for a run last night................but then I did have a Fireblade engine in pieces and you had the troops with you!

Seen as you'll be taking it easy for a while, and I don't have any mechanical sympathy what so ever, we should be quite evenly matched.............for now!

We need a blast ASAP!

k8donn, what a cracking deal, where were you when I was buying mine :)
see you out soon m8.

mad, will try and get out midweek if your up for it, watch the northern section,


thanks guys for the comments, gave it the first bit of wax today, just the roof, bonnet and boot for now, too cold to do the rest :)
mudflaps next week, and my reg plate on tonight hopefully,

chris.

Will do Chris.

:)

You spelt competition wrong in your location tab ;)

How long before it's spoilerless ? :D

Nice one Chris.. We've a meet on the 15th at the Snake Pass pub if you lot fancy a Jar? :thumb:

Make sure you get some pics of the remap figures.. would be interesting to see them.. :cool:

Thanks alan, I'll try to make the 15th, but I'm working nights over xmas, and may not be going to work in my car (bit of a dodgy area I'm working in :()
I'll post up all my reports from powerstation after xmas, keep an eye out for it :)
The guy who had my car previously got it RR'd at power engineering back in june 04, and it was putting out 299bhp/292lbft. Obviously ppp.
Yours is a jdm isn't it? So you've got that much to start with. I'm going to go with a milltek or scoobysport exhaust before the remap, then save hard and get the ast's in the new year.
chris.

Well what can i say mr wilkinson accept very nice:D

Thought you were gonna have your classic for ever:eek: i'll come out for a passenger ride one night too. will be good to see a few of the heads again!

Gav..:)

And Pete will you PM me your number, my old phone decided to just delete a load of numbers for no apparent reason:nono:

Pre 06 Type 20's & 25's are JDM twin scroll's.. so It's about that figure out of the box... Powerstation work their magic to get ~335 on the 2Ltr... lower for the UK STI I believe on the std map...

Good choice on the Miltek and the AST's... I'd highly reccomend the whole T20/25 handling package which is the Uprated ARB's, Geometry setup and Anti-lift on top of the AST's.. makes a world of difference and is rightly praised for it's handling..:thumb:

thanks gav, deffo take you and the missus out for a spin soon, although I'm waiting for the weather to get a bit warmer, as it's very icy out there :(

give us a minute alan, I've only just bought the thing :)

chris.

Oh.. OK.. :D

Looks good, lots of creeping to Joh then!

See you next weekend

I will have to get mine sorted!

yep! :)

Come on then lets see those mud flaps:)

hehe, thanks m8, not had chance to take any pictures yet, but it looks good :)
I'll take one with my moby in the morning :)
thanks again m8,
Chris.
