Lol @ Decals... Can't beat a bit of SWRT War-Paint!!!!

With the greatest respect, was that not rather the point with Scottish Taffy's car...? Kinda fits in with his car's theme... or at least that's the impression I got from him on the Highland Fling. Good bloke - go for it mate!

Cheers Eddie. Always happy to see SIDC/ SS.Net cooperation... life's too short!

Oi!!! When did you get a hatch? Good choice sir! Cold air intake and remap defo the way to go. AEM good, likewise Forge/ Litchfield. Gives you a subtle BoV sound without the fuelling problems!!! (CAI still needs a remap though) If you're at the Tayside meet on Thurs you can get a shufty at mine.

Oi! You ain't in "our" club, so beat it! Looks good Gordon! Exhaust next...

You want an STI, sir....No, REALLY!!!!

The car looked awesome enough front the outside!!! That's SCARY fast though! Anyone else else wanna chip in so Scot doesn't need to stick his gauges down wi' gaffer tape? ...not that you'd have had time to be looking at 'em anyway!!!! AWESOME

"Enduring"... love it!!! Legacies ROCK!

Blimey! Wouldn't buying another one be quicker? But good to see yer gonna do things properly! Good man.

If you're not upping the power, some decent pads and discs, tyres, brake lines and uprated brake fluid should be more than enough at stock power levels unless you're hitting the track or doing a LOT of heavy fast road braking. Remember WRX 4pots can lock the front wheels, so they're not short on power... only issues after that are feel (hence braided brake lines and uprated fluid) grip (hence tyres) and fade/ overheating (in which case DO go bigger). There's always the BLING factor with bigger brakes as well!

Admiral worth a shout, especially if multicar is an option for you.

Unless you have advice to the contrary, I beleive the 2008-on STI (and therefore presumably the WRX as well) uses 5W30 oil. And any engine can go pop if you push it hard enough... just a good excuse for a forged rebuild

Why am I NOT surprised....

I suspect your bhp gains vs expense/ weight/ complexity will be minimal so as not to make it worthwhile... might make more of a restriction as well which may actually DROP your bhp.

Blimey! Thought my mileage was high!!! There's hope for ol' Dies Irae yet!

Ah.... they'll all come over to the dark side eventually!!! Hope you enjoy it Den.

Woo-hoo! Progress! Think Ciaran RB5 might have a trailer.... not sure...

IIRC, ram effect with a turbo engine is minimal - clearly cooler air is better for a denser intake charge and a cold feed is always gonna be a good thing (careful with your mapping). Hp gains come from the colder air rather than any pre-turbo compression effect I suspect.

That was a good run! Same again this Autumn?

Meh... common as muck. lol

Hallo chap. Nice GB. Think I may have seen you out and about... blue hatch with black wheels, big brakes and pops n bangs?

No, quite safe then!!! Which cyl gets the misfire? Might it be related to oil pressure? Pressure drops at idle when warm... had an AVCS solenoid go on mine and it gave a misfire on warm idle. Idle very lumpy and threw a CEL. Plus, IIRC P1s didn't have AVCS... unless you have different heads running with your syvecs of course... doesn't explain the coil pack voltage issue either... unless I misread your post.

Piston ringland? I know the P1 engines had a bit of a habit of this... doesn't sound like it from your description though... Just thinking laterally...

Not even close, Luv!!!

Nice mods! Welcome to SIDC
