Little H Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Red line, first gear, hard left. NO SIDEWAYS ACTION, its crap, just feel sorry for the sales guy sat next to me.....
ajjprodrive Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 << Red line, first gear, hard left. NO SIDEWAYS ACTION, its crap, just feel sorry for the sales guy sat next to me..... >> and he went out with Warby straight after you !!!!!!!!
warby Posted January 23, 2006 Author Posted January 23, 2006 imo the car is ok, got to admit it needs some stuff doing to it to make it right but saying that when i got my STI8 new in 04 it was the same. It needs a new zorst on it and some prodrive springs, that would sort them out. But if there fitted them as standard how would there make any money on after market bits. I wouldnt say no to 1 and most of the people on here wouldnt nether.
blue boy Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 I'd have one but would need a CD with the Burble on so I could play it as I drove around

Now i still think it needs alot doing to it.
Little H Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Looks good though, def like the wings grill.
john_hallows Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Greetings all, made it back on to the forum eventually. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit to Christopher Neils. Nice to meet some of you (that could be interpreted badly) and put faces to names. Thanks to Jeff for the event. What a nice bloke. Obviously enjoyed the run out in the 06 STI. Face lift gets the thumbs up from me. I was expecting to be blown away by the performance a little more considering the 2.5 engine but plenty of tuning potential there. Would be interested in trying one with PPP when that comes out next month. Jeff was saying power is rumoured to be around the 330 brake mark. As already relayed by Andy I found the ride was certainly smoother than the old STI and made my Classic feel like a track racer over pot holes (does have a 5 year age gap tho). Whether this has had a negative effect on the handling I ll leave to be answered by other STI drivers, but it felt pretty good to me. Stearing is certainly lovely and direct. Not overly impressed with the central diff. grinding away at low speeds but maybe you d get used to that. Anyway there s no doubt its still an incredible car. Look forward to seeing you again at a future meet. John
ajjprodrive Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 nice one John. glad you enjoyed it. plenty more where that comes from!!!
john_hallows Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 You even got the pics of my dirty motor to look good Andy
