  2. heading through to hypertech on thursday lunchtime for some fast road settings after fitting tein coilovers and new tyres what a difference in the car after having a bust shock for a while.

    thats the last off the mods for the now after the decat and remap the misses is having no more off it :)

    although what she doesn't know won't hurt her :guinness:

  3. not to clued up on porsche's so not sure if there are any 4x4 coupe's i had an old guy overtake me the other week when i was in my truck, in his new boxster which must have been rear wheel drive and hit some standing water on the motorway he lost hit and shot across the front off me and up the banking and rolled it a few times. he walked away from it with a broken arm i couldn't believe it when i stopped.

    A 4 wheel drive would give you some piece of mind and some security for your misses m8 given our wonderful summer we're having

  4. yeah mate it was common sense, once i priced up 2 shocks plus the lowering springs it was cheaper for the coilovers and at least i'll not need to worry about the front shocks going to!!

    thought i'd put the old parts on here in case anyone needed them keeps the garage clean

  5. Just had some tein coilovers fitted since my rear shocker was burst and i was looking to lower the car to so decided to get some teins.

    I've Now got sitting in the garage 2 front shocks with springs plus all relevant parts for fitting which came off the car or 4 springs

    Can't post yet on the for sale board as i've not had enough posts

    if anybody is needing them, their more than welcome to them trying to keep the garage clean

    there off a 02 WRX bugeye

  6. just got my reminder in for my road tax for my 52plate wrx. A years tax is 210 but i've notice that on the V11 form it says my CO2 is 242g/km. the way i see this is that the car would be in the higher tax bracket at 400.

    can anyone clear this up or has the DVLA made a mistake with the emissons

    cheers

  7. My neighbour is CID and told me a few months ago about this. With alarms and immobilisers nowadays nearly impossible to bypass unless they are professional crooks. Stealing the keys is alot easier and thats the way most cars are stolen now. Now i hide my keys when i'm out or in bed

  8. recently had my 52 plate wrx in for some mods and the garage told me that my rear shocker is goosed, only had the car since feb so not so hot when it comes to subaru's although the cars a dream to drive now.

    would i be best replacing the 2 rear shockers with subaru shockers or would it be worthwhile given the age of the car to go for 4 new coilovers any advice or tips would be great, not to sure what to do although i've just spent 1200 on some mods so trying not to spend to much unless it's necessary.

    also guys my 2 front tyres have an inch band round them on the near side which is nearing the illegal tread depth has this anything to do with the shocker being goosed!! if this makes sense?

    cheers
