  2. Nah, that's counteracted by the fact that it started life as a humble WRX ! Moan the buggies !!
  3. What are you up too you dirty dawg ? Too much radical modding going in here for my liking ..........everyones got modding mojo issues !
  4. Okay so in addition to a 20 G turbo what else can the boy be up too ? He already has a FMIC so what else does he have up his sleeve ? Hmmm ? CGS
  5. Andy (JDM STI) - are you not tempted to take your beast on and go canny a la Spooks stylee ? I wanna hear your car ripping past the pitwall [li]
  6. Si-pie - your a nutter but........... I love it when a plan comes together Good luck with the project [<)] Cal
  7. Can you beat the Demon Tweaks prices ? I just ordered from them so will be miffed if your prices are less ! http://bbs.scoobynet.com/demon-tweeks-whiteline-t521193.html Thanks Cal
  8. I think it should be called " The Careless Whisper" [*]
  9. I am booked with the Doctor Wuz on Sunday afternoon...........presume you are in the mornning or evening ? I refuse to believe it's quieter but I suppose the exhaust gases are less constrained now ! Cheers CGS
  10. MEGA ! I think I'll go for the most extreme setting and work backwards if required ! I have heard of some people running the middle setting in autumn / winter but I'll see how I fare. Looking forward to Knockers even more now ! Cheers CGS
  11. Great news lad ! Whats mods are you running at present ? Glad you are happy [<)] Cheers Cal
  12. Never seen that type of bottle before ? The stuff I buy ( 20 bottles at a time) looks like this :- CGS
  13. Yes I would use it - better fuel means the car can work more safely and efficiently thus reduce chances of knock. You might see a slight performance gain but it's more for safetys sake. I would run it for a tank or two before the track day so that the ECU knows the score throughout the rev range. I use Millers OB... Cheers Cal
  14. I am holding off fitting a front ARB as I have heard a few people removing them stating that the rear on alone did a better job. So my question is still which "hole" to use on the adjustable rear sway bar Thanks CGS
  15. Now received my alloy drop links and adjustable ARB ...............so my question to the panel is as follows :- Do i go for the most extreme setting ( i.e most oversteer inducing) or is the middle setting the best ? I just researched this and found the below useful but wondered if anyone in here could their opinion. Wuz is fitting these on Sunday afternoon so I need to make a decision ! On-Road Results The adjustable 22mm rear swaybar absolutely transformed the WRX's handling - this really is the biggest bang-forbuck handling mod you can make! Mid-corner is where the new 'bar makes its biggest difference. The WRX is now much more obedient during its approach to the apex of a corner - you no longer have to combat understeer and more understeer. The front-end points much closer to the steered angle and the chassis remains more neutral - especially through tight corners that would otherwise have the Rex plough understeering. From the driver's seat you can really feel the outside rear tyre being loaded and, relatively speaking, the outside front tyre is under less stress. For the first time you can hear the rear tyres yowling through a corner, not just the fronts; this is a good indication that the cornering loads are now being evenly distributed through the front and rear outside tyres. Tyre wear, as a result, will be less focussed to the shoulder of outside front tyre. The new swaybar improves turn-in, though the difference is not as tremendous as the middle stages of the corner. If you come into a corner too fast or your steering input is too rough, there is certainly less tendency for the nose to plough ahead. It will understeer in these situations, but not terminally. Given a smoother steering approach, the rear swaybar won't make a huge difference to turn-in. Corner exit is slightly improved thanks to a more accurate approach to the apex that effectively 'opens out' the exit line. Previously, it was easy to understeer wide of the apex and be forced to tighten you exit line; with the Whiteline swaybar, you can more accurately follow the optimal line. If you apply power while there is significant steering lock wound on you'll get power understeer - though it doesn't feel as pronounced as previously. And how reactive is the car to mid-corner throttle offs? Well - first - we must emphasise there's now much less requirement to lift off the throttle in order to get the front-end to tuck in. With the chassis more balanced, there are only few occasions (such as when negotiating a tight roundabout) when a slight mid-corner lift-off will be of benefit. Depending on entry speed and your steering input, a sharp throttle-off can cause a considerable oversteer action. Other than looking spectacular we're not sure if this is a great characteristic, but it shows the car now has much more balance - you're not limited to just understeer. The three different swaybar adjustments make a considerable difference to the handling attitude of the car. The softest roll setting still gives all of the abovementioned but is quite benign in its transition to lift-off oversteer. In the other extreme, the firmest setting is perhaps a bit much with otherwise stock suspension and road-spec tyres. Be aware that the tail can step out quite a long way - and very rapidly - when the car is unsettled by factors such as road camber changes or loose gravel atop of the bitumen. The firmest setting is, however, probably ideal for track use. And now we arrive at the middle setting - the setting we are currently most content with for everyday street duties. The centre swaybar hole provides much improved mid-corner attitude and its lift-of oversteer characteristic is manageable in everyday conditions - in dry weather conditions, anyhow. Given the adjustability of the rear swaybar, you may kind it necessary to revise the rear tyre pressures that were deemed optimal with the standard suspension set-up. We were quite happy maintaining our 32 psi rear inflation pressure, however. Note that we'll give you a long-term update on our suspension upgrades further down the track. This will include handling characteristics in wet weather conditions, whether or not the bushes started squeaking, tyre wear and more. After about 1000 kilometres of driving with the Whiteline swaybar, we haven't yet heard any bush squeaking. So with just the adjustable 22mm rear swaybar, a performance alignment and optimised tyre pressures we've already fixed much of the WRX's handling problem. How will the ALK, stiffer front swaybar and rear camber kit perform? Stay tuned!
  16. Gazza, Wuz is selling black ones with pink decals...... http://forums.sidc.co.uk/forums/788608/ShowPost.aspx You may a good price from him ? Cheers Cal
  17. Nice one dude ! Remember and get a full tank of Optimax beforehand. Helps with the weight calculations and you'll burn a fair bit of fuel too CGS
  18. Alas I can recall the first Doctor F session with ease ! I hae had another map since with the boost whacked up but you'll get the jist ! Enjoy yer day Cal ******************************************************************************** Scenario :- - Weather - the WORST ???floodin' in the East - Arrival @ Port Seton ? 0700 hrs ( 2 hrs early !! I was keen to avoid traffic but overestimated, sought Optimax & fodder, read EVO - Sleep - hee haw for 48 hours prior to arrival due to work commitments & imbalance of leisure time ( i.e staying up late to compensate for working long hourse! e.g watch Fifth gear @ 0100 & researching remaps ) - Reason for visit - seeking a PPP-a-like for my WRX, more ponies, torque and generally satisfying my modding epidemic ( £1300 blown this month ) - AF's Premises - undisclosed but bugger to find @ 0700hrs until the main man arrives ! Otherwise, heavenly and full of bits that induce nudgers - State of mind - bricking it yet excited, keen to meet Andy, knackered, apprehensive, awe @ the 210mph beast, more intrepidation & urge to buy hybrid turbo's Preparation - Inform Andy of wish list - economy map & b-road / track day map, on optimax, low down grunt of key importance, ability to urinate on Elises @ KH - Mods - K&N panel, Samco hoses on intercooler, Scoobysport BB, afterburner centre decat & unresonated section, Turbo XS RFL VTA DV. - Previous results - 213 ft/lbs @ 3800 rpm ........230 bhp @ 6000 rpm - not too shabby but could do better / torque gash - Checks - basemap, laptop, licenses, EGT & AFR sensors, det cans for 'drews in-car Dj stints , alert driver, puddle avoidance sonar on max. range. Onroad Mapping - assess health of chariot off boost - sort out the economy map ( 0.6 bar .....) - ascertain optimum parameters for "fun-mode" ( 1.1 bar - cannot go more due to up-pipe causing limiting EGT temps - fully expected and I knew decats were ultimately required - still happy - load car on and off boost at variety of revs - WOW !!! Andy hits all important demister button to go into fun mode and the WRX feels alive. - perform final checks and return to rendezvous point to chat & wait for arrival of Bing ( Stevie Crosbie with recent mods) Andy F Review - dedicated, honest, knowledgeable, flexible, trustworthy and generally a millers swilling scooby worshipper who reportedly shares a kingsize Scooby Doo duvet with his very understanding wife - in summary, he's like Ronseal - does what it says on the tin but with octane additives Head home to ABZ - despite being in boost investigation mode, smoking every rep.mobile at the Forth road bridge tolls, and generally being hyper active at the prospect of new lease of life I'm totally bushed and pull over for 15 minute kip before Dundee due to 3 near misses where I drift off temporarily at wheel.
  19. Scott Lowe's ............on a buggy like yours [] Exceptional quality and made to last CGS
  20. Sweet ! I have a love hate relationship with exhausts. I alway fancy a REALLY loud one then once it's fitted I crave for a discrete burble which is only loud when the fun pedal is mashed........The true test is whether or not it does yer nut in at 80 mph cruise CGS
  21. That's the standard gaitor.................the old knob is removed then the new one uses 3 small allan key type screws to saty in-situ. You might wanna bid on this ..............much cheapness http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Momo-Race-Air-gear-k...1QQcmdZViewItem CGS
  22. I love the black and the white ones................I also like this colour :- More pics :- Phew !
  23. Same for me.........if it's good enough for Andy F's (ex) buggy it's good enough for me. He was very impressed and was almost as pure as the driven snaw even after some hard driving. It also smells nice too. Almost banana like [] Cal
