STImulant29 Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Hi guys new to the forum, my names rob from Plymouth and work with Chris Hornsey. I have a 330bhp 03 sti that I was gona sell but have decided against it. Now it's not my daily runner and it has a space in my garage (after 6 trips to the tip) It is now going to be my toy again. Iv recently just finished doin the 60k service on it and boy is it more responsive (colder plugs?) obviously the do luck panel filter probably helped and refitting my decat down pipe. Im looking at doing a bit of weight loss on her as I think performance wise this helps in every way from torque and speed to balance handling tyre wear etc. anyway that's current plans hoping to meet you all at some point, 1st April run is looking good in the calendar! Cheers lads

neil wrx Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Morning All. Well give the old girl an oil change last night, i think she needed it and now just waiting for my new air filetr to arrive then she'll be ready the weekend crusie across France. Going to be a good year ahead for the scoobs with all the possible meets in Devon. Terry i'm also thinking of gate crashing one of your Thursady Torbay evening meets what with the lighter evenings now approaching
spect Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 No probs mate, they are not SIDC but are a good bunch. Does not start till APril though. We have a drive out on 25th at 11.30 from Gallows Gate Paignton.

spect Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 Ace!! Just ordered a KSport 8 pot 330mm front brake upgrade kit. Arm and a leg and the shirt off my back, better hope no classics follow me lol. Chris those 4 pots are defo up for sale once my new ones have arrived. Just got my refund from the gas and electrickery companies - £500 - so that helps pay for the brakes. 2 clutches, a brake upgrade and my car tax due all in 6 weeks, bah.

What pads have you gone for?
spect Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 Due to my driving style I have gone with their recommended K Sport ones. If I do not get on with them then I will go for the Yellow stuff. I do not drive on tracks and I think that the 8 pots do not really need really high performance track pads for these roads, What I do need is good cold performance. I questioned him at some length and decided that their own pads will be good enough for me for normal use, if I decide to track it then maybe upgraded pads will be fitted
chrishornsey29 Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Bloody hell iv been slacking, note to self pay more attention to the forums haha...
