VERY nice! Keep meaning to ring Europa Sheffield to see if they have one or will be getting one in the showroom to go and have a nosey at.

Still, even if it wasn't. I've read enough about others failing I'm changing mine for peace if mind. Especially for the price. Yea, still loads to do. Just meant nearly there with this part of the engine build :).

I had Yokohoma Parada Spec 2's when I bought my car in September. They were part worn obviously but the dry grip was still incredible! Gave a huge amount of confidence to hit any corner at almost any speed. Problem? If the road isn't dry - forget about it. No grip in even the lightest rain/damp conditions. Highly recommend them if you never take the car out when it's raining. I've now got those Vredestein Ultra Sessanta's on. Wet grip has increased dramatically but dry grip isn't quite as goods do the noise at motorway speeds is definitely more noticeable. A sacrifice I'm willing to make though as the Parada's when wet were genuinely scary at times. I'd definitely recommend them for all weather use.

Look at that engine! Mmmm ! I'd like one just for those shiney pipes haha! I do have a soft spot for these but the old Alfa reliability stories scared me off haha.

Still one of my favourite thread here. Almost there now! The attention to details and just how damn nice it all looks is just amazing. I'd like to see it in person at a meet some time in the future ;) I've also been inspired to change my 2 year old Walbro pump when I get my exhaust and remap done next month after reading about all these failures. I'm going with HRC though, almost got that RCM one but after googling and reading quite a few threads the HRC one comes very highly recommended and is half the price of that RCM one thankfully! Not as big capacity but more than enough for power levels I'm going for. :)

I've decided to return it and get the 3". I'm thinking of upgrading the turbo someday (very far) in the future to get between 350&400bhp so will be ready for that. I've also got my downpipe and de-cat in 2.5" so hoping that will help with keeping some low down torque while making that future turbo upgrade cheaper since I'll only have to re-buy that part in 3". I want a deep tone too so happy about that. I like keeping the revs high anyway when on it so shouldn't be a problem. Yea i noticed that too Dave. I couldn't find a phone number so emailed them. Got back to me very quick and they are hopefully just going to do a straight swap and refund me the difference. :D been excellent customer service so far. Just waiting to get confirmation since I agreed to it. She's also made the manager aware to get that description changed.

This was great! Loads of awesome and varied cars and beautiful weather. Couldn't have been much better. Pics up on my FB (quickest free image uploader I know) - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.314900461993023.1073741825.100004192154481&type=1&l=4e0fde25be Scooby pics especially for Gambit. http://i60.tinypic.com/2j11q3p.jpg

Damn! Nothing's ever easy for me lol.

Which one did you get then!? Lol. If you look at the pic in that 3" system it has a resonated centre pipe. I can't find any with a straight through centre pipe and 3"

Right, bit of a ***** up here then. Since speaking to you (Dave) earlier about yours being a 3" bore and with mine being designed slightly differently I thought I'd double check this. Turns out the link you posted was to the 2.5" system and there is actually a proper 3" one when you look around on the site. 2.5" - http://www.jperformance.co.uk/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-gda-gdb-catback-cat-back-exhaust-system-p-872.html 3" - http://www.jperformance.co.uk/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-catback-exhaust-system-new-age-p-369.html Now my 2.5" should fit without having to modify it, whereas the 3" does require some jiggery pokery. It also doesn't have a resonated centre pipe so I wouldn't be surprised if the 2.5" is louder - which I wouldn't mind. My only concern is what that 0.5" will cost me in power and torque when it comes to mapping. Do you reckon it's worth me returning the 2.5" system and getting that 3" one ordered. The 3" is slightly cheaper too for some reason....

I think BoozyDave still has a spare ticket. Try sending him a PM. I'm meeting him at 8, think we're planning on getting there around 8:30. Should reply to you soon enough

How many more do you need for the stand? Put me down as a definite if it'll help you get the stand. I can make it. But if you can't get the stand I'd like to know a price for just turning up on the day as an "individual" before I commit.

I agree. I do believe there's a time and place for it - A or B roads, dry, sunny with good sight line and empty. I know a couple of awesome roads I love taking my car on. But at night, in built up areas, overtaking when there's clearly a car coming other way and traffic light racing where the winner is decided by not being the one to "back off" is !Removed! stupid!

It will me too, I had people laughing at how dirty it was on Monday lol. Just a quick wipe will make a marked improvement though. Got to say I've always been worried about cleaning engine bays though in case I get water somewhere it really shouldn't go!

Haha "Mr Man 1+2" Looking forward to this. Hope its dry on Saturday so I can give her a proper polish and wax. May even attempt to tidy the engine bay up a bit.

Dammit! Not intentional, honest! Oh well :)

Sorry but what an absolute *****. Thanks to people like him (and the rest) there's speed cameras everywhere and insurance is so high. There's driving fast and then there's driving like an idiot. His gf goes on about how he overtakes in dangerous places and it's basically like they're proud of it. Hope you get the car you're after pal - even if it's like that one - just please don't try and copy his driving too. Also, is one of his tail lights out or is it meant to be like that?

Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2, 18" et45 - almost in line with the top edge of the arch. Car is lowered but I'm not sure by up much.

Ooooooo shiney!! Can't wait to get it fitted. And correct me if I'm wrong Dave but my back box pipe isn't as straight as yours, it has a much harsher bend in it. I wonder if they've changed the design since you bought yours since it didn't fit 100%?

You after a set? From what I heard at the meet yesterday when speaking to someone else who had his stolen I could have got them direct from Subaru for only £15 more. But I would have had to wait a bit longer.

Just waited for a set to turn up on ebay pal.

Got my new fog covers today! :D Test fitted them and sweet Jesus they are easy to remove! I'm going to be removing them after every drive from now on. I am a bit worried about snapping a clip though have to say. They look a slightly lighter shade than my bumper/old ones though. Maybe it's because they've got fresh paint and not years of grime. Or maybe I'm just being paranoid and need to view them under better light (it's pretty dull and dark here now).

I mean in comparison to the others. The last one at the retail park looked like a huge turn out and the couple I attended at Martins before then had more than tonight. There were still a lot though don't get me wrong :)

I'm still well up for this! I'm proper itching for a great drive. Got lots of work on the car coming up though so money is a bit tight at the moment so will be dependant on when for me. I'll do my best though!

Not a huge turn out tonight and the "organiser" let us all down* - disappeared, no photographer and worst of off, no. Burgers!!! But was still a good get together and got talking to even more new faces. All in all another great meet. :) * I'm only messing Ash ;)
