Lol you heelanders are not coming doon here to toss yer cabers "the caber toss is a traditional Scottish athletic event practised at the Scottish Highland Games involving the tossing of a large wooden pole called a -----" fill in the blanks Anyhoo it sounds like a cracking idea

looks fabtastic Bobby

All the best for the season and you will be getting a big shout from me and all the SIDC gang that watch from the sidelines at Knockhill.

Aw hell Phil that is a scunner of a day, hope you get it all sorted soon, dont get too drunk over it

lol i can imagine Chris it must be great when it works and a nightmare when it does'nt, i have gone as far as i am going at the moment, i look forward to seeing your car one day soon it looks superb and i bet it goes even better,

I wont I promise I bought the BC's today and that is bad enough, your review on the hatch is one I just canny wait to read, you will be sitting with Del giving you a running commentary of how well it goes.

So all i need to find is another 300 bhp to sit beside you on the start line !!!! its just never gonna happen lol, one step at a time for me!!

lol just wait till he reads this!!!

It just flees along its great, will be interesting to see what your hatch belts out when you go, should be impressive.

Ritchie it is 2 litre sti 2005 reg, I saw the map today of a 2.5 litre on Andys computer and the torque readings are much better on the 2.5

lol yer spot on I am already thinking what next!!!

Quality never thought of that one

how hard is it though !!!! will be giving you a shout next week once the BC's arrive to pay a wee visit to Hypertech and then once thats done thats it.......for this year!!

Hi Ritchie Vortex afterburner and centre section, green panel filter and the remainder of the prodrive pack, oh and a top mapper in Andy

Made my first visit to Andy F today and I have to say what a great afternoon, first thing that struck me was his supreme knowledge of all the various maps for Imprezas. I had no idea what to expect really at a mapping session, All I know is that Andy made it very easy and all I had to do was sit there and drive with a grin on my face as he made the car go quicker and quicker. The final result was 344bhp and 335lbs of torque. Still getting the hang of turning the boost on and off using the rear demister switch I am sure with time I will get the drift, you can certainly feel when it is on boost thats for sure especially in 3rd and 4th gear, the difference is quite considerable. Needless to say the drive home was fun, I cannot thank Andy enough as the difference to the car is remarkable. cheers John edag

mish mash is a good description, i am thinking they don't know what to do with this iconic car, it is like a cross between a subaru and an evo, it is still not right but moving in a better direction.

The New York Auto show yesterday saw the wraps going off to four-door sedan version of Subaru WRX STI. This is the first time WRX STI will be available in both, a 5-door hatch and 4-door sedan configuration. The 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI features a newly designed 18 x 8.5-in. BBS forged aluminum-alloy wheels, high-luster paint and weigh 17.6 lbs which is considerably less then the previous standard wheels. It has Brembo Performance Brake System and both models receive significantly revised suspension tuning. However, power comes from the same turbocharged/intercooled 4-cylinder Boxer engine mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, which is capable to deliver 305hp and 290 pound-feet of torque. If we talk about the design aspect of 2011 Subaru Impreza STI, it will come with a new facade, revised bumper, a lip spoiler, freshly designed front grill, new fog lamps and bumper intake openings. At the same time four door STI will have wider rear fenders. Well it is starting to look a little better! but will it make it to the UK??????

Well done Stu that is looking superb on my wide screen monitor, top marks for pulling that together

Aye that colour of wheel goes really well with that shade of red.

Nice looking car, hope to meet you at some of the meets, welcome to SIDC. Cheers John

So if I dump i canny bang is that the moral of the story here

oh i so need to do this now, I take it they are easy to fit?

Lol note there is no argument about the big wain bit Del !! Anyway thanks for the input so far folks, let the debate rumble on.

Ok Folks Wee decision to make, the car 2005 STI ppp goes into Andy F on the 19th April for a remap, after hearing an hks dump valve i thought it sounded great, I know without a remap it causes the engine to run rich however with the remap it may compensate for this, the question is do I add it or forget it, the actual performance comes first. Gut instinct is to just leave the standard one on but I really would appreciate everyones thoughts. cheers John

What a fantastic project, looks the business and has the performance to go with it, awesome
