Well to start i would like to thank you guys for the input cheers .what would be the opinion of the people on this

http://www.gstmotorsports.com/store/index....products_id=941

if not where did your forementioned turbos come from ie second hand , new ,is it safe to go second hand .To me it looks like the general consensus is to go with a vf model can these be reconditioned ? who sells them i have done searches on the net can't seem to find them .Sorry for the questions and thanks again

cheers kenny

Howdy Kenneth.

More power? Have you ditched the better stopping in favour of more speed? Tut tut, it'll be fun tho'!!!

I laughed at the title of your thread son, it made me have some unusual images in my head!

Well done Barry you were the only one to spot and answer to my Freudian slip ( maybe we could discuss some counselling at the meet sort out those issues

cheers kenny

Hi would this be a good purchase ,i may have someone in the States who could ship it think it works out too around £879

Dunno much about the 20G so can't comment but you will defo get what you are after with either the 34 or 35. AFAIK, the 20G takes a bit longer to spool up whereas the other options come online a bit quicker.

Hi john mate this was from an e-mail from Andy Forrest ,not to me though.

I would go for the 20g . It spools up just as quickly as a VF34 but can make more BHP.

HELMET you say what helmet

cheers kenny

Noise isn't an issue, it's pretty noisey as it is. It's not a daily runner.

Every 10kgs worth 2.2 bhp so it's better than you think . Seriously though, we all know how much a passenger blunts the performance of a car, if I can shave 80kgs from the car, it's gonna be better. Success ballast in touring cars is only 40kgs, and that slows them down. Every little counts for performance no?

Kenny, dream on sunshine, less weight = better stopping so the diet is effectively giving me a six pot upgrade for free

well welll be like that, i'm going to lie on the floor bang my hands and feet and hold my breath THATS NOT FAIR

cheers kenny

ps .hope you get the car the way you want it

Has anyone any idea how much weight can be trimmed from the MY05 STi by removing the interior, a/c, electric windows, boot stuff, sound deadening, poss air bags, etc etc?

Anyone done it and know how much?

Certainly makes a noticeable difference carrying passengers so maybe theres a good 60kg to be saved? Or more?

Most definitely your calipers ,they need to be replaced with something lightweight my friend

cheers kenny

Top job Del looking really good mate looks like a lot of dedication and hard work put in

puts mine in the shade

Hi John i was without my car for 6-7 weeks ,used my brothers car 1.9tdi VW jetta (57) when i needed it JUST NOT THE SAME!!! so mate think on it.

No more mods ,keep it a very good fast road car, anyway you have definitely made it your own it would not suit anyone else

cheers kenny

Yes mate i will be there

cheers kenny

looks great Kenny ......but theres something missing from the background in 2nd pic..............the burger van!

Ha ha well spotted

Cool thats ok my hayfever has been bad the last two days!! must be the thunderstorms make it worse. Think I might take a trip out to Skidz and see if they can help

Hi cathy think you should go for the ones seafar99 is selling , the white ones would look really good on your wagon

cheers kenny

Kenny,

Do you know how long that effect takes to create? I thought being a budding photoman yourself you'd have appreciated the nice ripple effect.

Very good come back All that aside when do we get to hear of their first road outing?do these need the same bedding in time /miles?

cheers kenny

Totally agree Scott the AP's on my car were the best 2.5k+ i ever spent,

Kenny if you keep a look out in the For Sale section at the weekend i will be putting a full set of 6 Pot AP's 355mm front and 330mm rears with Black Calipers which have only done 500 miles all road use.

Taking photos when i get home tomorrow night and will pop the advert up ASAP.

They will be priced very fairly for a quick sale!

Regards

i'm waiting i'm waiting i'm waiting

cheers kenny

Looking good mate and i hope you get to enjoy all the benefits from the STI .I have followed this thread and i know you have looked at this

from a practical side . have pondered the idea of getting an STI myself as the cost of upgrading against the STI but i really like the look of my UK300 so i will just up the power to circa 300bhp and be happy

cheers kenny

Nce write up mate ,be carefull with my calipers no you don't want scratch them Mac (rednosespeccltd) sings the praises of the pf discs.Very nice and all but for heavens sake man do you not possess an iron?

It's brake day!

Off shortly to fit the parts, i'll post pics up later for anyone who's interested. Hoping it's all straightforward!

Ain't no stopping you now ,although i think something should like your new brakes Any problems just get new calipers and we can think of some recycle plan for your old ones

cheers kenny

Thinking of changing the wifes Astra sri to a wagon my01 onward but cant find a decent one for the money. Looking to spend around 4-5k not that bothered about mileage as long as its under 90k anyone seen any nice ones.
