RA Dunk Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 looks like you have struck gold there a minted car with recent rebuild for much cheapness Engine bay looks immac too
tommo9375 Posted July 16, 2009 Author Posted July 16, 2009 Cheers RA Dunk, the car isn't immaculate more like very,very good condition.It's had a touch up and bit of paint on bumper but you wouldn't really notice it unless you were really looking for it. Can anyone tell me if 4 pots definentely fit under my alloys and what size of discs do i need .Also do the calipers bolt straight on or do i need a fixing kit/new bracket?
RA Dunk Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 I had a set of subaru four pots under my 16" wheels but they were different wheels to yours they were the OE V3 Sti ones, Cant see there being a massive difference between them though
J.C. Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Subaru four pots will fit with those wheels, they were both standard fitment on MY00 UK cars.

Is the bonnet a steel one, quite heavy? I think I remember it at the auction because myslef, euan and smilerAS were up for a look. I think you've got yourself a cracker, i'll hav te come over for a nosey too Rich

tommo9375 Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Does anyone know if the intercooler from a 95 Sti type RA fits straight on to a 95 WRX Type RA or is there mods needed to make it fit? Edited July 17, 2009 by tommo9375
RA Dunk Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 it should be a straight fit AFAIK, they both came with the slanty type of intercooler didnt they?
tommo9375 Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 The wrx is slanty type not sure about the Sti- will need to do a bit of searching...

tommo9375 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 Just got some 4 pots for the front is it better to change the back to 2 pots or can i just replace the discs and fit decent pads?
RA Dunk Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 just change pads and discs unless your feeling very flush lol
