Mark Smith Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Hi I'm a first time Subaru owner. My car is a 2014 WRX STi that I bought in May this year from Mangoletsi. The car only had 2400 miles on it when I bought it. It's a stunning car and a lot of fun to drive. I've just ordered new front discs and pads for it from Demon Tweeks as the front discs are corroded from standing before I bought it. The brakes are juddering under heavy braking so not good when driving at motorway speed. Going for Brembo Speedline drilled discs and Ferodo DS 2500 pads front and rear. Ive not seen many of the current WRX STi's around but there are a couple around the chester area I've seen occasionally. My previous car was a 172 Ph1 Clio that I had seven and a half years. That was huge fun and a pretty quick car. The WRX is a very different car to the 172. I've done one trackday in the car at Anglesey which was interesting. A lot quicker than the Clio. Im a race and rally marshal with British Rally Marshals Club and was out marshalling last weekend with Wales Rally GB in Chester and Alwen. Im a taxi owner driver working out of the Chester area. I own a new Ford Tourneo Custom 8 seater minibus taxi. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffLeggy Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Welcome Mark! Stunning looking STI , a great step up from the Clio. Glad to hear youve already used it in anger Do give us feedback on the brakes after youve given them a run in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Smith Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 Thanks Geoff. It will be a couple of weeks until the brakes are fitted. Takes around 14 days for the brakes to be delivered from Brembo. I had DS2500 pads on the Clio as well. Really good.

strongstuff Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Hi Mark, first time Subaru owner here too, after seeing that pic am thinking I might have liked the Impreza instead I bet I must know you, I've been a Doorman in Chester (next to the canal) for 26 or so years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Smith Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 New brakes now fitted on the car. Really sharp now when you hit the pedal. Not tried them in anger yet though but the stopping power is improved. At Oulton Park on the 26th for track day.
