Sorry to hear that Frank. I hope the Police catch the thieving wee *******s, and they hurt themselves real good in the crash.

Thanks for all thye replies guys. Will let you know if he has any luck!

Cheers Lads, have just printed off the Pistonheads ad for him.

Had a look at this one myself and couldn't see an I.D plate and also asked the garage owner if the engine had been rebuilt?

Answer; Not got a clue mate ,why would it need the engine rebuilt?

Left the showroom shortly after that....

Doesnt sound like this garage has much experience of Imprezas, the guy from my work got exactly the same info (Or lack of it)

May be worth a call to Brian Downie and ask him about it?

Yeah mate, have told him to do that already. Dunno if he has.

Hope the link works. One of the lads at my work has his heart set on a P1. He's seen this car in Elgin and been to view it. It looks quite tidy, but he's concerned (And rightly so) that there is no Ident Plate for which No of p1 it is.

Just wary that it could be a Type R, tarted up to look like a P1.

I've told him to post on P1OC, which I think he has done, but i said i'd ask for him on here as well.

The service book is full of Brian Downie stamps, so could well be an Aberdeen/shire car.

Al

Is the general concensus that It wise to avoid these guys?

My car is due its 2nd (20k) Service pretty soon, and really want a main dealer stamp in the book.

Very nice mate - I remember actually going to test drive a WR1 but ended up buying a new Hawkeye - The WR1 i looked at wasnt in the best of nick.

Yours however looks mint, and I'd still love to have one in the future.

Enjoy it!

Yet another very happy Hypertech customer.

Speaks volumes for the place.

I had the same problem with my first scoob a 51 plate Bugeye WRX. Turned out to be the spoiler holes.

Bobby do you have any pics my car is to be looked at next week wheels turning black on the inside and heavly chipped on the back side of spokes.

Also shockers duffed again 1500 miles 3 gb270's in Dumfries all with the same fault.

Join the club mate - had 5 Replacement shockers on my GB270 in 15,000 Miles.

Sti intercooler for sale here .

Cheers Paul, was looking at that a wee while ago.

Double checked with Andy F the answer is no, it would have to be polished & ported & it might must make it but you really need to go up to VF34 / VF35 which is good for 340 - 350 if you ever wanted to go that far.

Bobby

Bugger! Best get looking for a new turbo then! Gonna need another never-never card!

Al

If I remember correctly I'm sure it's a TD04 thats fitted to the GB207, need the uprated 255ltr/hr fuel pump about £85 - £95 & the injectors that are fitted are the STI ones good for 350bhp, as Welsho says better getting the intercooler for safety margins,

If you contact Carl at

He usually has JDM STI TMIC on the shelf removed from delivery milage cars prior to getting modded naxt door at Litchfield, you might have to pay around the £300 mark but they are genuine new parts & they cost more than twice that from the stealers, you will also need to get the undertray & rubber seal to get the full benefit & direct the full flow of air across the face of the new intercooler, & then brakes & a map even more ££££££sssssss no credit card maxed out, wife moanin like F*** great fun this modding carry on

Bobby

Cheers Bobby - I'm a Turbo-Biff, is the TD04 good for 300bhp?

Sorry to slightly hijack the thread, but its relevant in a way.....

Anyone know what Turbo, Injectors and Fuel pump are fitted to a GB270? Planning a visit to Andy F soon, and wondering whether the above items will need replacing to get near 300bhp, or if this is achievable with whats fitted. (Bearing in mind that a GB270 is basically a WRX with PPP)

All i've done so far is upgraded exhaust from 2nd cat back, and HKS Panel filter.

Any help appreciated.

Al

Get me signed up. Tooled up and ready :-)

Terrible news guys. My condolences to anyone who has friends/family involved in this.

Al

I hope they melt into a lampost and burn. cnuts

My car seems to drink Tesco 99 quicker than V-Power. Dunno why. Other than that, no difference performance wise.

Aren't they just replacing a faulty part with a faulty part? Once your out of warranty you'll have to go for after market shocks to cure the problem for good.

Yup

Will keep my eyes peeled round my way Pete.

Returning from offshore yesterday driving down the road and i overtake a GT4 about 30secs later

he is behind me We go into the 50 and he pulls along side. As we go out of the 50 zone we accelerate hard and i decide this is stupid and stop at the national speed limitish as he continues on accelerating.

I drive along for a couple of minutes then decide to see if i can catch him up guessing he has most likely slowed down.

A couple of minutes later i catch him up. Im maybe 200-300 yards behind him

and it obvious he has seen me and he speeds up. He then notices the speed camera lamps the brakes on

the car goes sideways grips and over it goes then tails lights, headlights, tail lights, headlights and the car cartwheels into a forest.

I stopped ran in and hes climbing out of the car thankfully help him find his shoes check he is ok.

Basically a split head and a few cuts and bruises. He was mostly bothered about his beloved car

Phoned the police who turned up very quickly along with an ambulance. They took a statement and i know exactly what they were thinking. My car and a GT4 and an accident at a speed camera

If i had not stopped and he was stuck in the car nobody would have seen it. He appreciated me stopping

and i hope somebody would do the same for me.

Just made me think how easily it can happen!!!

Half expecting to hear from the police again as they said they would be in touch. Have i landed myself

in it by helping this guy?

Glad your both ok Ciaran. Doubt the Police can prove anything against you. They may like you say, try and get you to admit to racing.

But the other boy caned it through a speed camera, then lost control of his car. Sounds like he was lucky to get out alive/uninjured.

Doubt you've got much to be worried about. Just tell the cops what you saw. (Accident wise)

Was this on the A90?

Thats a fair old whack of a difference like!

Bunkbeds maybe!

I went to GT Tyres in Forres after getting my coilovers on, they fiddled with my Hawkeye WRXand it was ok.

However a month later I went to Progrip (Bonnybridge) and the results coming from him after he altered (and corrected) GT Tyres settings was just simply outstanding.

Cheers Smiler, I'll check progrip out. Hopefully i'll get down that way sometime over the xmas/new yr break.
