GMInsite Posted July 3, 2015 Author Posted July 3, 2015 Was ok i did not lap in the subaru was too knackered the first day i got there, it is a long drive from Le Mans to Nurburg. I took out a Scirocco TSI the next two days which was fun. The subaru is going to be getting lapped every day at the ring and i am lucky enough to have secured a job there from august :) 2
stants Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Nah lol ! Looks well made, have you got any more grimmspeed stuff ? The import tax and what not is putting me off Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk
GMInsite Posted July 3, 2015 Author Posted July 3, 2015 Only thing i have at the moment. Import tax came in at £55. Which is awesome. PSI Proformance marked it down as half its value for cheaper import tax. 2
GMInsite Posted August 3, 2015 Author Posted August 3, 2015 Ok so an update as its been a month. On my last ring trip the gearbox started to pop out of 1st and 3rd so this is now out and off to be refurbed. I have collected parts ready to go on when its back these include: Fidanza lightened flywheel Perrin wing risers Goodridge clutch line Rear DS2500 pads Perrin fuel rail Injector dynamics 725cc injectors Cosworth pitch mount It is all coming together quite nicely now and can not wait to move it to the ring. 1
GMInsite Posted September 24, 2015 Author Posted September 24, 2015 Ok since i have been living at the Nürburgring and lapping daily the subaru has been quite remarkable. Only current issue is the gearbox yet again! Good job it has warranty. Can anyone let me know how easy there 5 speeds are to get in reverse? This is actually a pain in my back side as it takes several attempts to put it in reverse. I was thinking about putting a vf34 turbo off a sti on to my wrx but the prices seem silly considering the price of rotated turbo kits. So the subaru is back off to the UK to get the box back out and sent off again aswell as a uprated helix clutch so no more clutch judder or deceleration noise

Im after a aftermarket inlet manifold if anyone knows where to get one. Have you tried contacting Tarmac Sportz? They do lots of aftermarket parts for the hatch plus Chris offers great support.
timmyjk7 Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Give them an email as he has manged to get things for me not listed on the site.
Xander Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Hay car is looking really good. How's the exhaust sound? Looking to get mine sorted soon. -- I make Films, Websites and social media for people
GMInsite Posted September 26, 2015 Author Posted September 26, 2015 Exhaust sounds boss. Not too loud on idle and does not drone on long journeys on cruise control.
Xander Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 That sounds like the perfect system. The breaks look good did you not upgrade the rear set? -- I make Films, Websites and social media for people
GMInsite Posted September 27, 2015 Author Posted September 27, 2015 No need on the rear. Only running EBC USR disks and Ferodo DS2500 pads.
GMInsite Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 So if i was to put this back to standard would anyone be after anything? Would need stock items in return. Or will sell as a whole
Xander Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I would be interested in a few bits. Breaks, inter cooler and I will have a look over the thread again :-D -- I make Films, Websites and social media for people
Xander Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Might also like Strut brace and coilovers lol so basically most of the car. Feel free to pm me some prices and I can let you know about stock parts on mine to swap back to you. -- I make Films, Websites and social media for people
GMInsite Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 Blimey like vultures :D , Strut brace has already gone as it did not fit over the intercooler :D I have already off the car: Perrin wing riser kit Perrin fuel rail Injector dynamics 725cc injectors

I think someone was looking for injectors so they might go quick as well. -- I make Films, Websites and social media for people
GMInsite Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 Well injectors are brand new in the box same as the rail kit and wing riser kit. Also got a pitch stop mount I have the standard brakes and the standard wheels just need the intercooler and exhaust system
Xander Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I have the stock intercooler so can sort that for you as I was planning to get the grimmspeed one. I am also get my exhaust done soon so will have the stock one taken off mine as well. -- I make Films for businesses and people. I also make websites.
GMInsite Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 Ok awesome :) , Yeah the grimspeed is a beast of an intercooler, Comes with everything including a new air scoop so will need everything off your intercooler
Xander Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Sent you a pm to sort out bits then. :-D -- I make Films for businesses and people. I also make websites.
GMInsite Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 Just out of interest does anyone know what other mark gearboxes will fit? If i kept it i dont really want to Shell out £3000 for a hatch sti gearbox
