Cool First drive with the new PS T25 & ASTs fitted

Hi Guys

Just got back from a very pleasing drive over the Baulk and Rhigos with the new T25 suspension package & AST's fitted

FANTASTIC

I would like to thank Rich/Trap2Terrorist for the stear on the PS GB, top work fella

Bigbrakes, I now see what you mean about fitting bigger brakes, at the velocities i can now reach with the new suspension set up my brakes feel a bit lightweight, the handling is amazing.

Remember the first time you got in an Impreza, remember how confident it made you feel, well i was back there again today, thats after having driven this STI for five years... thats impresive

Thanks Powerstation

I am well and truly back on the rollercoaster

Had a parcel today, mudflaps, side markers in crystal, delivered by Steve, better known to you all as Mr Crazy Chick, great to meet you Steve, see you at the next meet.

Mid Wales Run anyone??

Cheers Paul

Thumbs up What brake options

Cheers Gaz, just go for the AST thing it is awsome, you wont regret it mate....

I took a cheeky peak at the Porsche brakes at PS and they are made of pure gold and diamonds and cost £1,600

So thinking bank balance hear, what could i go for, what options can i fit with 18's

I would sell the brembos to offset the cost, which would be a good idea

cheers Paul

You're more than welcome on the GB steer and I'm pleased you're enjoying the new setup , just wish I had the readies available to get mine done.

I might be interested in some Brembo's if you decide to upgrade, give me a shout if you're thinking of it and we can discuss money.

Edit: I'd be interested in a run, get some dates together and we can see what interest there is (offline of course, no point inviting any unwanted attention! ;-)

Really tempted to go for this, is the GB still running and what was the total price?

Cheers, Taylor.

Thumbs up It aint cheap, but it is worth it

Taylor

the total price was £1,400 which is a lot of money, but i am gobsmacked at how this has transformed the car... If you can, i definitely would go for the T25 option.

TT2, yes lets get a run going, doesnt need to be many of us, can you PM me your favourite roads/route, i was talking to Blue Dragoon at the meet and he has some routes as well, we could compare notes I need to find some quiter roads to play with this set up..

Cheers Paul
