Its still running a std map AFAIK. I never bothered mapping up because I was always planning to fit a bigger blower. I was going to go AFP5-16 but changed my mind upon reading the billet thread... Yeah, I know about the hubs and 2-pots but these were of a price I was not going to say no to Be careful before going for slicks if you dont already have a baffled sump and swirl pot. Fuel starve is bad enough but oil starvation doesnt bare thinking about. I should be alright for a while as the toyos wont provide enough grip! When you say lighten everything up, you mean the flywheel i guess, what else?

Its a standard sti ra limited Its currently running a ported headers and up-pipe with a ported VF28 at ~1.1 Bar, complete decat apart from P1 BB and K+N filter - everything else in the engine bay is std. Supposed to be running 312bhp and ive no reason to doubt that. From the clutch to the hubs including the suspension isnt mine but soon will be. When fully mine, it will have P1 running gear. AP 4-pots up front and newage wrx 2pots on the rear with Ian Goney discs an pads alround. How are you finding the 6-speed? Thats the way i will be going when I can afford an upgrade. Will also have an SC38, Hybrid GT2 FMIC and nismo 550's soon

Fair play dude, you went past me like I was parked! Must have been warming down What are you running engine/turbo/'box wise?

I wouldnt mind seeing one particular part... Where you had a bit of a brown trousers moment on duffus? Was early on when there was a spillage on the outside. I was following behind and lifted off to wait and see how it was going to end. Fortunately you managed to correct it buit there was a moment when i thought it could go eiterh way - literally!

It'll need to be more of a Tsunami for your lardy young newage keep with the RA on the straights. Corners though - i'm not so sure. Thinking some new rubber may be required. Especially since the trackday...

There's gonna be circa 380 horses disagreeing with you Dave! Lucky our bumpers are now a similar colour...

I can now make it to the fling an I cant wait! Dale - think i'll invest in some parking sensors or some lipstick for touch up! I have stuck a thread up on AS, i'm sure if there are any takers you will hear from them.

Should be fine for you since you wont get over 50mph... A fine stock of parts you're accumulating there Ciaran, that a billet Garret?

I may make an appearance but wont be on track. Car is not fit for it at the moment.

It wasnt my stag do so yeah, i'm hoping it will shift. Who knows, I may even end up "being sent away" and missing the stagger...

I'm a negative at the moment Blair. Am gutted am missing this as the car WILL be modded, mapped, live and dangerous by then.

Very sad news indeed. Thoughts with the families and RIP to the two lads. I just saw the report on STV online and had to switch it off!

Haha you tart! Well until you get yourself a real scoob you'll still have a lardy newage!

Cunning tactics by the seller there, not putting a photo of the front! 6months makes all the difference... '03 Blobeye - Best of Both

RA's are more "speshal" though dave!

Looks more like a 'piecea' to me... I feel sorry for the poor sod who buys it!

Euan - What size discs are you running to keep 16's on? I presume its AP 4-pots you are getting?

I'd be up for that!

A rough guess would be 8k I reckon.

IMO It would probably suit a decalled up car but not on yours Dave. Like Paul says, get a proper flap. Though like him, I am also a bit biased!

I was thinking the very same Paul... I have just started a debate with the seller of this car over on pistonheads. I dont think its an STi and have told him so... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2353428.htm Just shows you, there a lot of falsely advertised imprezas out there. Whether its genuine lack of knowledge or not is another matter. What doesnt help is the massive amount of different models and specials and such like... To the OP, make sure you shop around and drive plenty of cars to get a feel for how they can be or could be before taking the plunge! Even go along to a local meet and see members cars. Thats where the knowledge and banter is at!

Good write up on the highs Grant. Really sorry to hear of the health issues. Much as others have said, get well soon dude and I hope to see you and Imy out and about at some point this year! Take care both of you...

Even with the bung?! I will give you half what you bought from me for, failing that you could EASILY punt it on here for a handsome profit... I dont mind. I needed the cash more than the exhaust at the time. AND... I may be slow but I dont have a garage, unlike some!

I've still to fit my new blower, cooler and injectors. and a remap! Might get it done before spring but not holding my breath!

For the Samco hoses, give Merlin Motorsport a phone, the were very good to deal with when i bought a turbo hose kit from them. http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/index.html 01249 782101 Dont know about other stuff, Harvey on Snet may be bale to help you.
