gc8-r Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 So the long wait is over.... And I've got myself a new car. I said never again and it happened."again" Need a bit of tlc but I know I can sort it.. Having fresh engine build with uprated internals(no more engine failures).. And a few gauges for a bit of interior being. Going to run her on standard boost and not any silly filters (yet....!!) no d,v Might put a little bit more boost on it.. Sorry forgot its a silver 4 door sti (like wispers) It will be finished by Christmas time and fully finished by summer(santapod time ...) Hope to meet some of you soon for a blast and a bit of ribbing.. Link to comment

But will match the white dials Only fitted one for pics... Need to silicone the edges and paint them properly Took me ages to polish this back up... And have mint pink strut mounts... Now just the engine left.. Link to comment
Vimmy Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Nice looking motor the afterbuner will put a smile on your face. I have the afterburner system on my 'new' car and its well worth the cost Link to comment
gc8-r Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 Didn't pay anything for it.. Had a choice of exhausts to pick from.. That was the biggest and best looking It had a standard b'box on it.. Hthen looked under and found a new snakehead with sports cat.. And a 3" middle section... So just need another back box to match the rest of the 3" system Afterburner is a stop gap.. Till i can afford a hks system again Link to comment
Vimmy Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Yikes HKS, that's going to be a loud beastie you'll have to watch the new back-box tailpipe diameter as its v close to the bumper That 3" whole system is going to be awesome, can you tell me what the sportscat is, if you know that is, as I'll need one for mine for the mot? Cheers, Col Link to comment
gc8-r Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 I miss my type-r it had the hks hi power on it... So how do you rate yours..?? I'd defo give mine a 10/10 And this 4door a 9/10 Link to comment
Vimmy Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) I think it has to go up to 11 out of 10, the car surprises me everyday, not to mention rattling the windows and waking up the neighbours. Its a different kettle of fish compared to my old wagon, short gearing, short gearshift and a big ass turbo to boot. I keep forgetting it has a turbo in there as i pootle around up to 3000 revs, between gears, and with the current gearing its quick as it is, push it past 3000 and it wakes you up very quickly Wished I had bought one of these years ago, i must get it remapped as it has the full afterburner system including exhaust manifold and also a 3port boost solenoid all with the stock ecu. I have a Simtek to plug in, so time to look at fixing the bent fins on the tmic. The muppet before me drive it around with nearly all the fins bent over so having a lesser effect on charge temp reduction. It makes you wonder how much people look after their cars...

Vimmy Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Always ready for a demo mate, never any need to ask, I'll get it warm and give you the keys, it will go better with out my fat arse in it I have to say it is a superb car, it does everything you want and a car for all occasions - a bimbly car and a fun car too for when the moment takes you Cheers, Col Link to comment
