Gary WRX

Hi all I am getting to the stage where I want more power from my Blobeye WRX (03 plate). I have looked on Andy Forrest Performance and the list of mods required to get me to 260-280BHP are as below. My question is as follows.....should I get started on the list below or save the money towards buying an STI. I have no idea what the mods below would cost and would need to get a garage to do the work as I could'nt do it myself. Full Decat or Sportscat exhaust from turbo back 2.5 or 3” bore Ecutek Custom ECU recalibration (similar to PPP) Twin boost set up for high/low power switchable in-car Walbro 255 l/hr uprated fuel pump K+N panel filter What does everyone think??

Ah ok thanks I checked on a couple of sites (castrol and Opie) and they both reccomended 5W 30 so I had to rush out to Halfords as I was worryingly low and couldn't wait for an online delivery! Should I have gone for 40? What's the differnce? Thanks Gary

Looks awesome mate

Thanks guys

Hi all My Blobeye WRX needs some oil. What would you guys recommend? Thanks Gary

That's a sweet looking motor mate!

Well it was however now has a thin film of volcanic ash on the paintwork! @ScoobieSteve - I'll trade you my foglights for your STI engine

Lol that's brilliant!

Lol good point I had never thought of a new horn being on my mods list!

Cheers for the comments guys and jpe good point about the horn that was starting to bug me so am going to get it sorted this weekend!

Well I have jsut given my car a wash/wax so thought I would upload some photos. Nothing too exciting, a standard WRX but she scrubs up well!

So I'm filling up at the Shell garage in Leighton Buzzard Wed evening (£1.26 for V Power :-( ) and out the corner of my eye I saw a black blobeye either STI or WRX with added spoiler. Black alloys with yellow brakes - awesome looking car!

I would agree with Ace an STI is certainly less comman than the other 2. M3s are comman and do not have the best reputation. Bear in mind we are likely to have snow again next year and you will be glad you have a 4 wheel drive as BMWs are useless in the snow! Welcome to the forum!

Welcome aboard!

Followed you from M1 in Hemel Hempstead right the way down to near the Blackwall tunnel south London last Wednesday 2-3pm through heavy traffic - I was in the blue blobeye WRX

LOL sorry I skim read the thread and misread the name

True lol Great roar from the engine though and in a straight line its great fun!

welcome aboard fella

I hired a mustang when in America it was a great car......until you dare to go round a corner lol

welcome aboard fella!

I am in Hong Kong at the moment with work sounds like I should fill my suitcase with V Power when I come back - surely customs will understand!!!

Great thanks I will give that a go I had a feeling it would just be the fuse or something simple

Heading towards the A5 I think it was an STI but can't be sure

Evening all So I took my Blogeye WRX for its MOT toaday and it passed thankfully which is good news! Picked the car up, drove home and everything was working fine howver next time I got into the car and started her up I have completely no power to the stereo which is an Alpine head unit. Is this a massive coincidence or could the garage have knocked something and caused this issue? Any advice greatly received!! Thanks Gary

Blue P1 (I think) heading towards Hemel Hempstead on the A4146 around 12ish this afternoon Blue Hawkeye STI Maylands Avenue Hemel Hempstead 4pm I was in a blue Blobeye WRX cheers for the waves!
