08/09 Hatches, Stand up and show yourselves!!!
I went to fit the Whiteline rear subframe bush inserts today on my 09 spec C, but they didn't slot straight in, so the spec C appears to have different subframe bushes from the standard hatch. I also have a spare set of Whiteline diff inserts, as mine was already done, if anyone is interested
330s wheels on coilovers
Anyone any pics for reference of how they fill the arches ?
originally I liked the wheels but wished they were wider. But since storing them in the garage and buying new Rotas/spacers and coilovers I'm wondering will lower suspension improve the look of OEM wheel fitment ?

Car finally back from Thwaites, along with the forged rebuild they fitted a new Exedy clutch, cobra decat downpipe, sleeved up-pipe and rcm fuel pump. Now I just have to put 1000 of the most painful off-boost miles before I go back for the remap! Dealing with TDR has been a great experience, they have put up with numerous phone calls from me along with me turning up on the day of the engine build to take photos. Mark had all the time in the world to answer my questions and chat about the build.

Also good to have pics of the inside of your engine

When we fitted them we did all the measurements the same as my mates blob so the arch to the wheel centre is exactly the same and I’m still getting away with the original profile tyres ,
im running 330s wheels on bc coils , looking to get some japan racing wheels or maybe some Xxrs in the near future ,, they fill the arch well think they could maybe do with a 15mm spacer tho 🤔

Hi chaps been a while since i posted now
Im thinking if doing a mufler delete on my 09sti
Now im wanting to leave the centre pipe and just have the rear piece made up now a local garage said the flange is knackered on the centre pipe so ive been looking and you can get a flange repair kit.
Now has anyone got a mufler delete how much louder are they ?
Amd had anyone used a flange repair kit ?

I'd wonder if there was some way of fitting a muffler somewhere up nearer the engine , or if that isn't a good place for a muffler flow wise.

Theres a firm on ebay doing them for £450 but i wanted to have one made just off the backbox flange so if i wanted to put ghe box back on i could as i have a proR box but both garages i been to see just want to replace the centrepipe and take it streight out to tips but that means i cant put the box back on i have to replace the full pipe again

I am looking forward to having mine serviced by TDR soon.
Is that 370 on standard turbo and top mount intercooler? I have seen alsorts of outcomes from 330 to 370 on the standard setup so I have no idea what to expect from mine

hi guys.just bought myself an 09 hatch, having had a cupra r still getting used to it, espsecially the opening of all doors🤔 and why no fold up key...minor details.
been remapped by alan jeffrey to 372 , i feel it misses a bit on idle, is this common or possible plugs? lots of questions to follow once i get my head around it...thanks in advance

If the ECU has been reset recently it can take time to learn. Mine was similar after replacing lambda sensor, but starting the car and not touching the accelerator for a good 15 minutes sorted it out. Been spot on ever since. Maybe unrelated though...
Needs a good wash as it's been stood a year, and most recently in the garage for the last few months where it's been developed into what it is today..
