  1. Well that is insurance companies for you!
  2. Chaps Due to change my front brake pads soon on my10 STI - any recommendations rather than get the main dealer ones - do reasonable daily quick driving and 2 or 3 track days a year - want smoothness and quietness - so not just track brakes - any ideas or experiences????? Thanks
  3. Getting fitted tomorrow on my spare track day wheels - Nokian WR A3's!!!! Just need some colder weather now!
  4. yeah they get great reviews for the price - found a site called www.Oponeo.co.uk to be the cheapest
  5. Was going to use my track day alloy wheels that were cheapish anyway and just swap the tyres over for winter.
  6. Being recommended Nokians from Finland - around 130 a corner!
  7. Chaps Just wondering if the benefits of getting winter tyres out weight the initial layout of cash. Are they that good? Do we really need them in this country - opinions and info appreciated thanks Fang44

    Not sure but the thing that attracted me was that it doesn't affect the cars manufacturers warranty!

    Hi Mick Just been enjoying the mod - now in a position to give a bit more details on the changes that the 340r pack brings to the driver. First of the all the new pipes on the exhaust look great, a bit bigger, they protrude out of the rear spoiler slightly more which looks a lot more purposeful. Also they have stainless steel like gauze affect inside which looks great. When you fire the car up the new noise is instantly noticeable, a bit louder but a lot deeper and lots more burble - instant smile when i first started the car after the mods were completed, lovely deep burble that gets louder with the revs, but too loud or over the top - wonderfully enhancing that boxer noise. So part one of the mod - awesome! Happy. :) OK to the remap which promises 40 more BHP and 20% more torque The word that comes to mind is "smooth" - the previous turbo lag has almost been tuned away - the power is available far lower in the rev band than the previous 3500rpm + The big pause before the push of the turbo is gone, the feeling of torque from low down is awesome and the car just pulls like a train all the way through and seems to climb through the revs quicker, due to the smoothness an eye has to be kept on the MPH dial as the speed accumulates oh so quick. And this is the same at low speed, its just jumps away when you push hard on the throttle, over taking is even more effortless as you dont have to time the revs/gears as much - it just pulls like a train. Also i have noticed, although never been that important but nice to have is that the fuel doesn't seem to go down as fast - again this was promised and seem to have improved the MPG. Overall. i love the changes, a worthwhile upgrade, the noise is fantastic, the smooth power delivery fantastic and it is so much more fun not having to wait for the turbo to come in. I do whole heartedly recommend it, the car feels a lot faster and a lot smoother. Regards Fang

    Yep that's my beastie with its spoiler - I must have option!
  15. Very excited picking up my sti sedan 2010 after the 340r has been fitted. Looking forward to 20% more torque and 40 more bhp with more burble !!!!
  16. Yeah was an expensive option, as they have to put a new stronger bootlid on, so around 1600 quid again! But as you say needs it!
  17. I think cosmetically i dont think there will be much changes, i think the exhaust sound will change ( it better) so maybe get some of that footage. I will also give you my opinion on how the torque increase feels from a drivers point of view.
  18. Cheers jay
  19. oh it just noticed it says January offer! ;0(
  20. Hi Jay Had a ring round and to get similar seem to be a much bigger price around the 2000 from pwerhouse and litchfield - so thought i would give the Pro r a go. Thanks for the discount link, thats nearly two tanks of fuel saved! Is that a new deal on the discount as got quoted £1670 last week! Like the idea it doesnt affect the warranty as well.
  21. Chaps thinking of getting the 340r pack from pro r for my stock 2011 STI saloon. Anyone had good or bad experiences with this pack and is it worth the £1600 investment. Thanks
