Awritie

I'm Stevie, live in Wales (Merthyr) but from Jockland originally.

Just bought an S reg WRX saloon import. It's got STiiiiii badges on it but I reckon they are eBay stick on jobbies. I'll get photo's at the weekend once I pick it up. It's just a stock unit with a longlife exhaust on it, even got the stock cd player in it

Got a background of 8 years in MR2 turbos, and a stint in an Eunos Roadster, done lots of drag, and some track days.

Hopefully I can contribute to the community and try not to do everyone's nut in with some proper n00b questions!

Stevie

I'm not Welsh, I'm a haggis muching skirt wearing Jock, but it is true, ever wonder why Lamb tastes so salty?

Quick question

I have a Blitz SBC from my old MR2, what sort of boost/power can I run on a stock WRX, stock IC, stock air box, is there any cheap upgrades (STiiiii IC or something like that).

Got a standard Japanese stereo, and the radio is ****e on it! Can I swap it out for a UK model? I'd like something with a jack socket so I can plug my iPod into it to get tunes on, and I looking at fitting something aftermarket for that?
Also any advice on the above Blitz SBC question above?

Finally got the camera out and snapped a couple of photos, it was a bit wet and some rain drops got on the lens so the photos are not perfect

Photos were taken up Llangynidr road this afternoon
