Following my recent threads, I finally got my new car:

WR Blue
MY04 STI Type UK
TSL333
18's (gold)
Prodrive springs
Strut braces front and rear
Fast road geometry set up
13,800 miles
FSSH
IMMACULATE

Sorry Alasdair, I nabbed the photographs from your for sale thread.The only difference now is the car is cleaner!!!

It is a beautiful car to drive and is a credit to the previous and only owner.

My old car w as a MY98 UK turbo with full stainless steel de-cat, so with about another 100bhp to play with, you can imagine I am living the dream at the moment!!!

I'll need to learn how to attach photographs!!! The car is MINTED. Opened it up a bit more today - it just gets better and better!!!

Aly Mac

there you go stephen

StephenPope

Photos posted this time - by the previous owner - he must be missing it!!

Very, very nice . Welcome to the world of STI 04 + ownership. My advice is cut up your credit cards now because no matter how good the car feels now, soon, very soon you are going to want even more.....

StephenPope

Cheers ma man!! That is the worry of having a modified one - another modification will not hurt and all that!! Still 330bhp is enough for me just now.

my ppp sti 8 still entertains me. Well for the moment anyway. Compared to my 01wrx its well scary. Nothing gets near but back end kicks out very easy

It was about your mileage that my O4 STi ppp started handling real bad, after tracking checks, it turned out to be tyre wear, now got Goodyear F1's fitted, much better-the car had a horrible tendency to track down road markings and "wriggle" over road changes-dangerous!
Even now front tyres are wearing heavily on outside edges, but it at least goes in a straight line.
I spend a lot of time grinning over this car, but sometimes regret it and want out, but as the damn thing has devalued such a lot since new, I'm stuck with it!
Maybe one day I'll get it sorted, any advice would be valued.
Rob.

StephenPope

No handling problems with this baby - toyo clad 18's, prodrive springs, strut braces, fastroad geometry set up and TSL 333 power to match!!!

Cheers

From a fellow TSL333 owner - let the grinning begin!!!!!!!!!

I am sure you have a grin like a cheshire cat at the moment, you have certainly bought what looks like a very very clean car and I am sure you will enyoy it.

Heres some pics of mine on a previous thread

Sorry not the best pics as it was 7.00am and pics taken on a mobile phone - which reminds me must go and clean the car and get some tidy pics on the digi camera.

Anyway enjoy the beast Stephen.

StephenPope

Very nice Paul!!
The TSL 333 is in essence the same as the PPP however the mapping is individual to your car and not generic as the ppp is.
Panel air filter, exhaust with sports cat, re-mapping and uprated fuel pump. The reult is 330 bhp (305 with ppp) and the reults are smoother power delivery!! As soon as that frost goes, mine is getting a bath!!

gingerboy

Smoother power delivery - but still very brutal, I have to say that when I got the car foot to the floor acceleration used to make me giggle like a girl.

Now I am happy to take it a little easier especially with the recent weather, the car did a bit of back end step out the other week in some rain but in fairness I kept on the power and adjusted the steering as required and she righted herself (foot to the floor is reserved for dry weather and when I am in the mood now).

I remember my first couple of weeks ownership just getting used to the cars performance and handling charcteristics - I am considering carrying a disclaimer for enthusiastic passangers who have never been in a scooby before, oh how i laugh when the car takes off and they either go very quiet or laugh like children on a fairground ride.

Anyway enough from me the sun is rising and it should be warm enough to go TSL cleaning!!

Paul

StephenPope

Yes - brutal indeed!! But the delivery is just so smooth. I am still scared to rev it over 5500 at the moment as I am so paranoid and ironically, that is where the best part is in the higher revs!!!
I know what you mean about laughing. I have only done about 100 miles so far, however I could not resist taking it out last night before tea for a quick blast. My old scoob had about 230 bhp which was fast but i remember laughing in the car last night and saying out loud 'this is f@cking ridiculous' gave me a nice warm feeling inside!!!!!!!!!!

Nice one fella, looks lovely.

Be careful not to go and stack it in this nasty frosty weather.

Good luck with it.

dexter

Nice one mate, looks very good !

wrc350bhp

had a go in tsl demo 333 then had a go in rcm car, no need to tell you which i chose

StephenPope

RCM? What's that?

gingerboy

How'd the cleaning go Stephen??

My babies been washed, leathered, polished and sealed ready for the winter grime and she's looking good!! Pics later.

Know what you mean about the 5,500 rpm - it all goes a bit mental past those revs I'm sure you will no doubt have a few mad weeks and then gradually start taking it easier, maybe.

Glad your enjoying it and hope you have cleaned the insides of the wheels as well - otherwise Alisdair will be coming over to reclaim his ex pride and joy!! Have to say the pics in the for sale section were cracking as are the ones posted in this thread.

I have a standard 05 sti, but i have recently drove an sti with the tsl 333 on it and what a car, completely differant to the standard one, it just pulls and pulls right from about 2500rpm to the red line, the car i drove has just been on the rolling road and projuced 334.5bhp.

Roger Clark Motorsport (probably), another company offering amongst other things: mods for Scoobs. Though some of the offerings require deep pockets ... we're talking Mariana Trench territory

welcome to tsl 333 land,next step is chargecooler!
martin

StephenPope

All was clean for about 5 minutes until I had to go out and it got manky again!! No need for polish yesterday, Alasdair put plenty of that on before me!!! Of course I cleaned the inside of the wheels - one of my best mates is a car valeter and he always comments on how clean my cars are!!!!

Thanks for the comments on the pictures - yours looks like a belter as well!!

StephenPope

Martin,

Funny, that is what Alasdair said...........

I am delighted with it at the moment - Alasdair picked all the right mods - the car is bang on - and immaculate (I am just slightly in love!!!!!!!!)

Cheers!!!!!!

p1doc

no bother,there are quite a few 333 drivers on scoobynet all with different brake/suspension mods but think i have the only chargecooler looking at recent threads as noone else has owned up to spending on it

i 100% agree. my 03 sti ppp is my 1st scoob, and comparing it to my bros evo fq330 i was really suprised how easily . i suppose this will be much more fun on track days then ....

Hi there mate, get your geometry set up properly and it will be more surefooted, just my 2p`s worth
