Hi all thought I would join up after years of owning building and modding fast fords I've decided on a change

This is my new project, lots to do but it's a good start

[Scoobyghost]

Welcome to the club. Looks good. What's the plan?

[Peanut46]

Lose the fast a furious kit! Go down to 17 inc wheels and maybe paint white

Also want more power but don't know what's best on these yet, so I'm hoping to get some ideas from this site.

My old cossie was around 400bhp so looking to get the same from this

Hello mate welcome to s.o.c

Looks like a good project. Doesn't look to bad from the front but not a big fan of the rear bumper.

[Peanut46]

I'm not keen on rear bumper or side skirts to be honest, going to fit standard stuff, don't like the rear light much either!

Hi and welcome to soc fella

Looks like a nice clean one so good base to start from , what model is it ?

I'm not personally keen on the body kit either but I do like a oe look with just a splitter.

Power wise 330hp is about right for classic standard internals , brakes and drivetrain .

Expect to pay at least £3k just in parts to make a classic break the 400hp barrier .

330hp in a lightweight classic ain't no slouch anyways [emoji6]

[Peanut46]

Thanks for the info mate, like I said I'm new to these! What parts am I looking at to get to 330 bhp?

[Gambit]

Savage is by far the best man to speak with :) Sorry Savage nominated you :D Side Skirts I could live with but I guess up close and in the flesh might not look good. But I agree with keeping a splitter P1 style splitters look the nuts in my opinion on classics. I've had wing mirrors like them too very hard to see out of :(

[savage bulldogs]

No problem bud [emoji106]

Does depend a bit on what model you've got turbo 2000 ,wrx, sti ect (cams and turbos differ) and what mods it's got already .

It should have grey 380cc injectors and phase 1 inlet with slanted tmic as standard

You'd need

Remappable ecu

440cc yellow injectors .

Decat/ sports cat .

Maybe a tmic /fmic upgrade

Pannel filter /induction kit .

And then a Remap

it might have a tdo5 turbo as standard which are good for your target power anyways[emoji6]

if not it will be a tdo4 good for sub 300hp but quicker spool .

Wotcha and welcome - keep us posted on the build and check out some of the previous build threads - should give plenty of ideas

[Peanut46]

Thanks people, it's a wrx model with a decat on it all ready, not really had a chance to play about with it yet due to the weather etc but hoping next weekend I can start to make my mark on it, I'm not overly keen on the wheels either, I want more of a Motorsport feel to it

[Gambit]

We have a project and build section on the forum, so if you fancy posting lot's of pictures as you go along and to make sort of an online diary you're more than welcome to. :)

If those wheels are 18" I might be interested as I need a spare set for my FSTi so I can have winter and summer tyres.

[stants]

Dave check your offset as most impreza wheels will rub the rear struts

[demondriverdave]

And because I am dumb, the best way to check the offset is ????

[stants]

Depends should have it printed on the back of the wheel, not sure about the sti foz but all the other ones have an offset of 48 where as the impreza has 55. Also the stud pattern may be different, classic use 100 pcd where as my05 is 114pcd
