BIGD Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Welcome to the club mate enjoy. Me personaly would make sure first that the car is spot on and everything works sweet. Stainless and induction kit is always a good start 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossidius Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hey big d yeah its already got a full stainless on it front to back other than that its standard as the day it rolled out the factory so that is what i was thinking of doing for my first mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hi mate welcome to S.O.C I think be a good place to start tidying the engine bay with some nice shiny stuff and silicone hoses STI Top mount intercooler (TMIC) would be a good upgrade too can all be done without a map being done :) could look at braided brake lines too and if you want any external mods splitters and so on can be done to change it without going over the top :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossidius Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hey Gambit thanks for the info i think i will get a new sti intercooler with what im getting then october time get me sen some new prodrive gt1 allloys with discs and pads and get the braided brake lines to go with it :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Wouldn't bother with induction kit , more likely to loose power 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ossidius Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hey ash3000k / shifty and aucky thanks for the replys i have been reading up and not to arsed with an induction kit as people say that yes you can loose bhp and that the oem one that is standard is just as good maybe get a cosworth filter pannel for it but i think all new hoses /rad / fans and maybe iridium plugs to start with will do unless i win the lotto this weekend and go all out and buy a hole fleet of scoobys in my megga garage lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucky Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'v fitted some blue hoses to my wagon n black front mount intercooler,both are mostly for the looks [emoji6] i watched a vidio on yuotube about induction kits by might car mods,they tested induction kit,performance panel filter and the original air filter on a dyno and it showed the original subaru filter gave best results.

Jay762 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Wotcha and welcome, i'd look at brakes and chassis stuff strut brace beefed up antiroll bars get it nice and tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozyDave Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hi mate welcome to the club as said, the std air intake is usually better than CAIK, 'green' panel filters are good too If you do fit an STI top mount, have it on a rolling road to check everything is ok. personally, I'd only fit a bigger intercooler if I had a remap too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
