C_WRX Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 First off, Happy New Year everyone, hope it's a good one. Interested in what folks have up their sleeves for their 2009's mod list - whether it be power, body or interior, handling, brakes and so on ? I know some like to keep it a secret so fair enough if that's the way. If I kick off - start off the year from more or less standard power getting the exhaust de-catted (sports dp for MOT time) and a touch of AndyF's magic. After that I think I'll look towards handling.
gus the bus Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 hopefully a full cage, harnesses and whiteline goodies. Everything else is pretty much done! But I've got a busy year ahead so might have to wait until 2010 for some of them
fai17 Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 First off Happy New Year to everyone on SIDC My first of the year is (apart from the Bamboo 600 engine build) these bad boys but i'm just waiting for the nice weather before i fit them. It's sitting in my loft the now and by god they look the daddies of bucket seats...just wished i could afford the carbon shell rather than the grp shell.

paul555sti Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Going to try and not spend a lot on the car this year so just a few small jobs. Side skirts colour coded, aero splash guard things painted and fitted front, bumper extensions painted and fitted.
burgy_51_ Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 My 07sti is booked into Greersport 2 get the cats took out of the exhaust from the turbo back 2 my milltect system, a uprated fuel pump and a K.N filter box, thats on the 10th then its booked with Andy F on the 30th, then after that i think il mess about way the handling of the car!!
Maxxed_Ross Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I'll be keeping things basic as I'm trying to save for a holiday... but in the pipeline: Fit the JVC DVD head unit from my last car DIN gauge plate with some nice gauges - most likely oil temp & pressure and boost Some personalisation to the outside - some subtle stickers ect Fit fog lights (if I can find the info on what is needed and if it's a simple enough job) after that I'll be looking into the power, most likely starting off with a decent filter and taking it from there
frank c Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 One or two whiteline goodies and a trip to Port Seton on the 13th.
bobbyc Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Only things left to look at are brakes & struts, not sure whether to just uprate the discs & pads or go the whole hog, The cars in at Grieves on Monday to get the famous KYB struts looked at again, as Charlie says whilst it's under warranty don't bother wasting cash on Teins etc yet keep firing it back to us, probabaly the only thing left that Subaru would cover under warranty since the engine mods were done
RS Grant Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I've still got loads that I'd like to do with the SpecG... and was seriously considering going for a new turbo, supporting mods and another map from Andy. However, I'm not convinced that it'd be reliable given the use that the car would be getting, so until I can forge the bottom end at the same time the BHP stuff is on hold. Mods I am planning are: - Upgrade the ICE - Whiteline Kit - Coilovers - Decide on Rear Spoiler (or possibly lack of) - Bin the crap front seats for some decent supportive recliners Cheers, Grant
