st3ph3n Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 1 2 3 White wheels! Loving them. I've got a bit of a fetish for them at the moment as some of the keener members might have spotted. This month I've been good and spent only £445 on Tein Springs + Fitting + 19K service. Nothing for the rest of the year I think.
irish al Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 looking good, intercooler for sale on another thread
RS Grant Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 Looks really nice and good figures for a UK... Johnny50 is selling an STi8 intercooler for a bargain price, comes with all the stuff to bolt straight onto a Classic too. Cheers, Grant
herbie Posted December 8, 2005 Author Posted December 8, 2005 Cheers I take it the STi8 intercooler is a topmount? How much bhp they good for? I wasnt really keen on chopping my bumper to accomodate a front mount. Herbie
ANDYJDMSTI Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 £40 to fit plugs!!!!! who did it...................Dick Turpin????
herbie Posted December 8, 2005 Author Posted December 8, 2005 LOL yeah, was charged a full hours labour
RS Grant Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 Not too sure on what the STi8 TMIC can handle power-wise, but it would appeal to me because there isnt any chopping of bumpers needed.. its all set-up for a Classic. Also, when you're finished with it, you could probably punt it on without losing any/minimal money on it. Cheers, Grant
ANDYJDMSTI Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 STI topmount will handle 400. then it starts to get into realms of possibley looking for front mounts
