clutdav Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I finally managed to get my new wheels on the car, dual EcuTek switchable maps, LAUNCH control and Prodrive geometry setup. Car is going an absolute treat. 8x18" BBS CH's with Goodyear Eagle F1's 225/40/18 - Going for the S203 look.........[] As she was............... And now...............Mmmmm I think you'll all agree that it totally changes the look of the car. I am rather chuffed. Dave
scoobyiain Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Very nice indeed mate, but can't believe xmas decorations are hanging already. 12 days before and 12 days after.
johns Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Very nice! Are they any lighter in weight than the Prodrive ones you took off ? John
fai17 Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I've seen many BBS CH on evos but never on a scooby.....nice wheels..different[Y][H] Have you had you car lower as it doesn't look like it from here.. I like the silver....is silver going to be the new black?
clutdav Posted December 4, 2006 Author Posted December 4, 2006 Very nice! Are they any lighter in weight than the Prodrive ones you took off ? John I haven't weighed them but from when they were being fitted it seemed identical............ I've seen many BBS CH on evos but never on a scooby.....nice wheels..different[Y][H] Have you had you car lower as it doesn't look like it from here.. I like the silver....is silver going to be the new black? The car is running Prodrive springs and the prodrive geometry setup. So slightly lower than standard but not a huge amount - I need to be able to get over speed bumps with my lip spoiler. Dave
fai17 Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 My car is prodrive springs too and looks a wee bit lower
clutdav Posted December 4, 2006 Author Posted December 4, 2006 My car is prodrive springs too and looks a wee bit lower Was there any difference between the Sti8 and 9 with the shock absorbers?? Dave
fai17 Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Don't think so....just different colours black instead of red. How is your car running and is it AndyF that remapped your car? Did you RR her yet?
clutdav Posted December 4, 2006 Author Posted December 4, 2006 Don't think so....just different colours black instead of red. How is your car running and is it AndyF that remapped your car? Did you RR her yet? The car is running really well. It is Russ at Wallace Performance that has been doing my mapping. He is very thorough and takes the time to go through everything with me. She made 332bhp and 318lbs.ft of torque on the last run we did. A little down on torque from the previous run but that is due to the fact we where experiencing turbo compressor surge when plumbing in 1.5bar of boost mid range as the turbo was spooling in 5th and 6th gears (I have the same setup as the WR1 - EcuTek had the same problem on the WR1 map so they had to limit the boost as the turbo was spooling). In other words the standard turbo was saying no thanks at full throttle in 5th and 6th gears as the turbo was spooling. So I have lost 14lbs.ft of torque but the car runs great in all 6 gears not just 4 as previously. Not too bad for the level of mods I have. Dave PS: not in Craig and your league's, but fun never the less.
craigdmcd Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Car looks nice inj both styles, but with a carbon rear spoiler and the the new wheels, it should look the absolute berries.
oobster Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 REALLY like those wheels Dave, very nice indeed. [Y]
DaveHelium Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 yea dave i saw your car as you were leaving wallace the night you got it back! i just arrived to get my sti 7 mapped by russ also
boxerboy Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 cars looking mint mate loving the new wheels,is do you live in a persimmon house in westhill?
st3ph3n Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 This is my favourite new age in Scotland. I'd only add two things if it was my car and I had the money the S204 rear wing or probably the Carbon insert on the standard wing: And a rear diffuser: That would look absolutely stunning.
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Very nice indeed Mr C................love those wheels............what hae you done with the old alloys ? Cheers CGS
scooby222 Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 yea,the dampers are slightly different on the 05 stis, at least according to some bloke called mike wood.... just had the prodrive springs fitted to mine, dint think there was any difference til i looked at photos from before stephen, you been looking at my wish list [^o)] zero sports insert and apr diffuser- excellent taste!
clutdav Posted December 5, 2006 Author Posted December 5, 2006 Very nice indeed Mr C................love those wheels............what hae you done with the old alloys ? Cheers CGS Cal - The "old" alloys are sitting in my garage waiting to be sold according to the Mrs - I'd like to keep them but i don't think she'll let me...........[]. You know of anyone that would be interested?? This is my favourite new age in Scotland.I'd only add two things if it was my car and I had the money the S204 rear wing or probably the Carbon insert on the standard wing: And a rear diffuser: That would look absolutely stunning. Thanks mate for the kind words - I like the way you think. Both are on my wish list although I'm not too sure about the carbon fibre stick-on insert...........looks a little too stuck on maybe............[:^)] cars looking mint mate loving the new wheels,is do you live in a persimmon house in westhill? Nope mate I am further out than that - but not much. A Stewart Milne house...............and it's been really good. yea dave i saw your car as you were leaving wallace the night you got it back! i just arrived to get my sti 7 mapped by russ also Ah sorry mate I never clocked another scooby - I was probably too busy playing with my launch control. How did you get on? Nice figures? REALLY like those wheels Dave, very nice indeed. [Y] Thanks for that mate - it was time for a change...............[] Dave
st3ph3n Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Dave the Zerosports CF insert is a full on replacement. Believe it can be angled too.
ali37 Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Lookin very nice mate. Might be interested in your wheels. Assume that they are the 114.3 PCD as you have the 05 STi also. Ali
clutdav Posted December 5, 2006 Author Posted December 5, 2006 Lookin very nice mate. Might be interested in your wheels. Assume that they are the 114.3 PCD as you have the 05 STi also. Ali That's correct mate they are the 114.3 PCD. Please PM me if you are potentially intersted in them. Ta Dave
craigwrx Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Wheels look mighty fine Dave [y] Would like a diffuser also Stephen, maybe when i have finished with things under the front bonnet [] Craig
