Cracking purchase Andy. :thumb: Bet it drives a fair bit better than the bugeye. :D The new colour wheels seem to suit the car better than when it was gold. Agree, you need a new splitter. ;)

Yes, one was fun and enjoyably tail happy with the Whiteline on "mental", but a tad soft, the other is pin sharp and uber precise without losing very much at all in terms of ride!

Yes Andy, they were the original gold STi wheels. I got £300 from memory. And they are 114.3 PCD so will only fit late 05 onwards STI's only, which is why they are a bit more difficult to sell as the market is some what limited. Gotta say tho, I still really like those wheels, I think subaru got them dead right. And interestingly, I find the car drove/handled better on the 17's rather than the 18's.

Hey Lucky, was the difference in handling sufficient so you wish you had never fgone to 18s - would you not recommend it?

Just got my first bill for the new car. It had an ABS fault - took them 5.5 hours to trace it by testing wires etc as the sensor had been changed by the previous owner - £445. :cry: Still, if that's it done then I'll at least be rid of the problem. Runs very well other than that.

Hi Andy,

No, I love the way it looks on the 18's, they fill the arches much more. Its only when really pushing hard on track that its not quite as sharp. On the road, you wouldn't really know, just a bit bumpier I guess.

Cheers mate. Fancy getting 18s when the Goodyears wear out.

Hey Andy car does look lovely :notworthy

Yes In the cold weather it becomes very stiff and if you hit it a piece will break off and in the warmer weather becomes very soft and crack easily.

Maz finally bit the bullet and bought a chargespeed one after having 3 HT autos and a mate also broke 2.

Intial cost is expensive but for the ballache caused in the long run you will wish you had gone for a proper one :thumb:

I like those wheels, mind you I would :thumb:

I was impressed with the quality of my HT Autos splitter, it looks OEM and was a very good price. I've not had any problems so far. Fit wise, it clips on to the standard clips and then there were 15 (IIRC) self tappers which just felt wrong using but they have done the job.

Nice car, shame about the wife's accident.

Thanks for the kind comments Banny (and advice).

Look forward to hearing the power to weight ratio of your next monster! ;)

Andy

Cheers mate. Interesting to hear the mixed comments about these splitters - how long have you had yours?

Funny, I read a 2009 thread where an owner thought his Revolution splitter was poor quality - you don't think so mate?

Cheers mate. She's not the wife, well not yet anyway!

bttt

From my own experience, it been really good. I am careful with it although its taken a few whacks on high kerbs and has been fine. But it hasnt lost shape or faded in 4 years. Would defo go for another when I need one.

Will just have to be careful then!

cheers Lucky

Andy
