  1. Agree with that the WRX and STi scoops are the same size on a hawkeye, if your friend is fitting a STI intercooler they only need to change the undertray
  2. Remember to change lanes http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-41...ging-lanes.html
  3. I had my wheels done by Peter at P&J powder coatings, top job and excellent price http://www.1stdirectory.com/Companies/1596...der_Coating.htm
  4. My GB270 made 345bhp/380lbft, decat, 1.35 bar, on vpower. Nice figures you made on 97ron
  5. For the use you have specified I would advise going for the prodrive springs, uprated rear ARB, alloy droplinks and ALK along with fast road geometery settings. These changes made a big difference to the handling of my GB270(springs were fitted as standard). The ride is pretty firm without being too harsh.
  6. I went for the mintex 1144's good all round pad. Found this link quite helpful for bedding in new pads http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wp_bedintheory.shtml
  7. NGK ILFR7H are the ones mate, longer reach than the 2.0l ones. http://forums.sidc.co.uk/index.php?showtop...p;hl=NGK+ILFR7H edited as thread found
  8. I've done similar power mods to John to the GB270 along with whiteline rear ARB, ALK and fast road geometry settings, the car is running 345bhp/380lb/ft and is superb to use as a daily driver and for fun, but if I was doing it all over again i would definatley go for a STI. I'm now thinking of more power and trackdays, so brakes, gearbox and forged bottom end are coming into my thoughts As a road car the WRX with the stage 2 mods is great to drive, but it depends what you want from your car, I made the decision to go for the WRX(GB270), but with hindsight I should have gone for the STI.
  9. Barry, hopefully I'll make the next one
  10. Mine were also marked MO, had bother finding a supplier and when I did the price put me off, ended up going with the goodyear F1 asymetricals
  11. I use Vpower as that was my car was mapped on, although Andyf said tesco99 would be ok to.
  12. My dipstick is clean and shiney, I use silkolene pro-s 5-40, changed every 5000miles, going to use the 10-50 next though.
