May 13, 201510 yr Author Cheers, I have put a couple of comments in your threads about the brakes and handling :) hope it helps.
May 16, 201510 yr Author Little update: Clutch and tyres have arrived :). Clutch is getting fitted monday and my wheels have been shipped from Italy so the wheels and tyres should be on the end of next week after the wheels get ceramic coated by MKDetailers. Also ordered a decat pipe and a sports cat as its cheaper to modify the decat pipe than buy a downpipe with sports cat.
May 16, 201510 yr Good work man :) they are awesome tires :) wait to you warm them up and they stick like nothing else ! James
May 17, 201510 yr Looking great - clearly you have done your homework with what mods will work best for the track ;)
May 17, 201510 yr Author I am going full out ready for my trip to the ring in 3 weeks time, can not wait to get some laps racked up in the Subaru. Another little update, due to the high volume of thefts now happening ive decided to get a tracker fitted so this will be done next week :) Thanks for the comments guys, need to give a shout out to Unit18 Automotive in Milton Keynes though they have been incredible supplying and fitting the parts and you should check them out as they are a supplier for all the parts i have used :) Especially those KSports Nevell they offer free fitting on most packages ;)
May 22, 201510 yr Author Thank you, So many people have commented saying nice things. Not bad to think two months ago it was completely standard.
May 22, 201510 yr Your welcome mate, all i can say either your pockets are deep or you have saved like a trooper! Enjoy them tires once they warm up, epicly grippy ;) James
May 22, 201510 yr Author Anyone got any tips on how to drive with a stage 2 paddle clutch haha. holy crap the judder is annoying
May 22, 201510 yr At that power paddle clutch is massivly ott, uprated excede would have been fine. They are never great for road use im afraid.
May 22, 201510 yr alloys look great, yellow brakes look super. just needs some rear smoked overlays now ;) give me a shout ;) http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/neoquip/m.html?item=291450056888&hash=item43dbc6f0b8&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562
May 22, 201510 yr Author Salsa-king i have already bought a set off of you and i asked a professional tinter to fit them who then put a hole through them :( Tidgy iirc these clutches are for up to 400bhp which is my goal. Remap next week hopefully once the garage i use receive his ecutek stuff so hopefully pushing low 300s.

Remap next week hopefully once the garage i use receive his ecutek stuff so hopefully pushing low 300s. muppet, how did he do that, cover heated it? you only need a warm hair dryer. soapy water, a vinyl squeegee and hair dryer is all you need.... and a bit of patience. I did mine ok. trimming the edges are the tricky bit ;) I whipped my clusters out to do that. but fitted while on the car.
May 27, 201510 yr Author Ok shes mapped now :). I need a new intercooler anyone know of any kits relativley cheap?
July 2, 201510 yr Author Ok update. So bunch of parts waiting to be fitted which include: Grimmspeed Intercooler Deatschwerks 340 fuel pump Mishimoto thermostat Mishimoto X Line Rad Mishimoto Fan shroud EBC Ultimax UCR rear discs TRW rear pads Got another trip to the ring next weekend so hopefully get it all fitted for then
