Don't listen to them, listen to me. NOS can get you hot women just like in The Fast And The Furious. Besides, since our cars are almost similar, I needed to see if your car can handle it and won't get eaten by it.

The Bump steer mod is done by "Powerstation" in Cheltenham. They will also do the tracking .About £130 I think.
Tracking is the most important thing on a car I think. The difference when it is done well is great!!!The car brakes better as well.

Plantie, next time m8 you won't be so lucky! Or maybe you will
So did you get a Forge dump-to-atmos, or re-circ? Can you give me a breakdown on prices of the items you mentioned, and BHP increases (est)?
Katana, yup, just turned 23.

Isn't the HKS Induction kit a bit of a risk? I've heard nasty things...MAF failure rings a bell?!?

Powerstation Subaru Impreza Geometry Modification
A common complaint of Subaru Impreza owners is the tendency for their cars to understeer when pushed hard, whether on the road or race track. Powerstation decided to take this challenge on board and spent quite a while setting up a customer's car using various geometry changes to try and dial out this understeer. Using their very accurate geometry measuring equipment they saw that the Impreza suffers from what is known as bump steer. This is the tendency for the front wheels to splay outwards when the front suspension is loaded up due to weight transfer or under braking.
Powerstation have worked out a method to counteract this and offer this set up to all their customers. The results have been very good to hear. Most owners comment that it is like having a different car after returning from their test run after the work has been completed. Also, quite a few owners have used this setup on track and comment on how much more able the car is while cornering. Another effect of this modification is that braking hard in a straight line results in a much more stable car. The photograph above shows one of Powerstation's customers driving hard through the Esses at Donington Park circuit.
