quit

I will b in bury St Edmunds that day

If your going Thetford Thursday they normally get it and the a14 is a nightmare

u could try plasti dip mate, glossifier it peels off if it goes bad

isnt that off the coast of angola? yeah i would import some laquer mate

Well with great difficulty is the only answer! get some fine wet and dry paper and gently try sand the edges down then apply a new coat of laquer or 4 till it matches in

NGK PRF7B is the only plug i would use

it happens really easy on carbon mate, i got carbon on my scoob and it lifts really easy! had a carbon bonnet on my old vectra did that ! Only real way doing it is rub it down and relaquer wtihout damaging the weave

carbon is very tricky mate, That looks like its taken the top off totally, has it affected the weave? is it only the scoop affected?

yeah go on ebay mate, find loads of sets on their, paid about 40 quid delivered for mine

Tuned engines benefit from the PFR7B plug as they are a cooler ignition, The standard 6frb is ok if your not planning on much tuning (and about 15 quid cheaper!)

yeah i thought it would be a quick change of plugs, but on the right hand side was caked in old oil!!

lol! i wasnt expecting to get that oily, my mate who is a mechanic never wears gloves

gloves?? Fudge off lol im not a girl ! yeah think my rocker cover gasket has gone, so another job to do next weekend

if it dont work on the wheels they will be this colour

he has used a different pattern, i will be going for a more traditional square pattern

im gonna do my old wagon spoiler first as a tester i got some normal glossifier too incase it dont work

that has more than what i want

Right, Relive this thread Been looking and looking, I saw a dark grey car locally, didn't like it was like primer ! so thought ah mix some blue pearl into it and do like a metal flake but after chatting to Matt-Pack it dont work to well or wont give me what i want SO more endless videos and forums (all based in the states), Decided against the whole car as i wanted a 52D wagon for ages and now i got one.... Why change it... BUT aggression is the key Female owner of my car before me, roof fudged from handbags and keys lets look into that , First up colours... Was thinking yellow roof ?? Would be different but then it would look like those scene VWs which i hate, So more youtube videos leading me towards matte black , Its easy and simple where are we? Well the grey looks like primer and will stick out like a sore thumb i think on my blue and carbon wagon , saw a video on the Metalizer range (metallic finish) only available in spray can and very powerful finish, This started me thinking about a gunmetal grey / anthracite metallic roof !! YES that hits all the buttons, dark grey still a bit shiney YES THATS IT ! saw the videos perfect till...... My mate is building a scoob powered beetle text me "im going for a plasti dip stormcloud" now we do alot of shows together throughout the year and this !Removed! on my plan i dont want us to match lol!! more you tube videos Then stumbled accross the Copper metalizer, Loads of clips and people trying to replicate the Rota bronze colour and some acutally look copper ! very cool i thought for wheels , No real UK experience from what i find so went on the US forums for some advice few people have tried this and had a good result, Matte black base with the copper metalizer over to give a black with a copper metalflake, Apparently 5 coats of black base then a coat of copper gives it a nice look, Then if i want to beef up the copper more then i just add to suit (eventually it will look like copper!) So thats my plan..... Roof and top spoiler like this and the rails etc in plain matte black Then my wheels need a new look, I am going to match my wheels to the roof origionally... Yeah would look nice i thought! But saturday morning i stumbled accross a video of Carbon fibre effect !! .... So could i do a copper look carbon fibre ?? Ive got the stuff to make it look carbon fibre, that arrived this morning and i got the matte black and copper coming by monday!

did these on weekend i think they were knackered Perfect time to upgrade !

welcome!

no problem, yeah if your looking for a sti you got several which all offer different benefits STi Sti widetrack STi Twin scroll STi Spec C STi RA-R STi S203

im a impreza man but the engine is basically the same, Got a 10mm spark plug socket? Take the rubber bit out the top that normally helps

JDM = Japanese domestic Market (import) is it a ph1 or 2 s3? my mate had a powerful series 2 and !Removed! that was heavy to chuck about !! They are perm 4wd mostly! unless you can find a widetrack (my preffered option) has DCCD which is a active diff control so you can sling it to rear wheels if you wanted to have some fun!

2.5 - 400bhp is do able mate, BUT the 2.5 isnt the best engine out the box even in sti form they normally need additional forging to go to that extent! You can get a 07 sti for about 7-10k depending on what spec you go for, basically all the special models drive the price up, If you find a JDM 2.0 hawkeye these are very sought after (what i would go for) and can see upwards of 400bhp out the box the 2.5 gets slated (built for the american market really). about 5k gets a rebuild and certain The way a impreza drives tho is something else!! (ive had a few fast cars too)
