Think i was behind u this morning on roe hway mate, that exhaust looks and sound sweet! :cool: .. I was in the wingless clubspec

[QUOTE=WRXRW;375357]good work!

what are you thinking re each focus point? 6 speed, flash, aftermarket, vf, sti?[/QUOTE]

Still considering the options for each focus point, doing my research :rolleyes:

At this stage i think a 5spd sti g/box should suit the power i will be making - but if the additional cost of a 6spd becomes justified, i'll definately go down that path.

In the way of a tune - i'm still very new to the subject and weighing up the differences between custom flash tune / link piggyback / motec standalone. Not sure what I need, as I want something reliable, with options for later stages of the car's development lol

Have been keen on the Process West top mount for some time now, but now with so many GD STi TMIC's available for $400 or so, I am weighing up whether the PW be worth the additional expense - but I havent found a PW vs GD TMIC comparison yet.

Turbo...The VF34 catches my eye as a popular choice for responsive power, but I am now considering a few twin-scroll setups that could offer a similar (if not better) response/top end to the VF34

What do you think?
Anyone else with opinions feel free to share :D

Yes that was me :cool: Nice car - I'm a fan of the old school gold-on-blue :)
I wasnt particularly happy to pull between those trucks, its a pet hate of mine!!! Makes me feel like a dickhead driver lol

nice ride , maybe even a set of 02 wrx rims would look the goods

come on jezza, every man and his dog does vf34....something bigger!

[B]Update [/B]- after discovering I have a unichip, I have been presented a few more options for a short term tune. I'll be visiting Tim Slacko at West Racing for some advice for tuning options. I figure if he doesnt think I should keep the Unichip, he'll probably try sell me a Motec lol.
In either case, I think I should look at taking the 'big' step of a turbo and intercooler when I get a tune...

I've bought a heap of bushings to keep my DIY urges busy...

Also have a Whiteline roll centre kit to go on with the ALK and camber bolts when I get my alignment. Have been recommended to go to Wilkenson's Suspension.


Things are starting to take shape.... :rolleyes:

Has anyone on here put an aftermarket/replacement fender brace on their wrx?
I have heard they offer a mild handling increase that can be compared to that of a strut brace.

Make sure you get the right STi Gearbox. There was a debate over on rexnet as to which STi gearbox actually was stronger and which ones were just as weak. Id say, go the whole hog and get a 6 speed.

Nothing wrong with a VF34. Make good power for what you want. If it was good enough for a late JDM RA, then its good enough for any car really.

Nice car, have not seen it in the flesh but i have not been driving for a good month now.....;p

looks great. lovin the black colour. good mods too. hopefully mine will have most of those mods too when im done with it

slako worked his wonders on my gt foz with a unichip approx 180awkw at 17psi with vf-22, eq length headers, it goes really good, he will do a road tune as he has no 4wd dyno ;)
