Another newbie, Advice please

[emac1ennan]

Based in Edinburgh, Crail regular.  Just had a test drive of a 54 plate WRX STi with PPP and all I can say is wow!!!

Just sorting some finer details and be going for one.  Think it will be a silver one if anyone has pics of any.  What should I do first with it mod wise?  Was thinking exhaust system and upgraded dump valve.

Cheers

Welcome along!

TBH on a Newage the first thing I would do is suspension stuff springs, droplinks and decent geometry setting and then poss exhaust.

Would leave the dump valve as it is as it gives no added performance.

 Money that can then be spend on worthwhile mods.

Cheers,

Grant

[craig mac]

Hey Grant

Aye it was them, top bloke took about an hour and i was heading home the set up is AWESOME. About £60 iirc

[RS Grant]

Sweet, just ask for Fast Road... or Prodrive set-up??

Sorry for the thread hi-jack, but this is my last question.... promise!! []

Cheers,

Grant

[craig mac]

Fast road set up they said it was not as brutal on tyres as the prodrive settings

[RS Grant]

Thanks mate... appreciate the advice. [H]

Back on topic, there was a nice Silver STi for sale here. Damn good price too, for the age, mileage and the fact its been well cared for by a well known enthusiast. [H]

Cheers,

Grant

 Thanks for the welcome guys and Il excuse the hijack[] Hope to be joining you guys real soon

Not Silver but Crystal Grey

Forget about a atmospheric dump valve, could possiblly do more harm than good. Suspension/handling 1st then worry about more power. []

[emac1ennan]

Thats a nice one Colzo, the alloys standard colour or you have them done?  I have a thing for silver and carbon personally

[STi_Bandit]

Hello and welcome to the forums mate. hope you find the car your looking for

The wheels are Prodrive PFF7s and are Bright Flitter (standard) in colour which are almost a pefect match for the Crystal Grey.

Emac1ennan you are one jammy bugga ! Yer getting a helluva car there, one of the best in fact, be a shame to see it leave the North East, methinks Mr. Mac is going to be heartbroken when he realises what he's done []

If you do the deal mate yer going to be grinning from ear to ear for months, hope all goes well on Monday, Craig's a top bloke and won't bullsh!t you and will offer all the advice you need. 

[simon_mcwilliam]

If you think the run in the 54 plate was good, god only knows what you will think of Craigs car.I was in it at knockhill & I asked to let me out it was so quick, (I meant for him to stop at the top of the chicane so I could walk back).Or that might be due to me being a nervous passenger LOL. You will like it though. PS take spare underware with you.

[gogsie]

Aye you won't be disapointed with Blue Thunder, she's a beast and blue is the fastest colour []

[craig mac]
