YHPM NO, I didn't want an STI, and YES, I could afford one if I did want one!!!!

Well, I've been truly shafted!!!! it turns out that the Flux policy for my car was supposed to be the same as Keith Michaels, just got the limited mileage form through and it is only for 3,000 miles, not 5,000 like it should be. I phoned them up this morning and they said if I raise the allowed mileage to 5,000 it would 'only' cost me another £150!!!! Robbing ******'s!!!! That's more than my renewal quote! I said it's within 14 days so can I cancel? Yes I can, but I have to pay some fees, so 10 days insurance has cost me over £100! I've phoned Keith Michaels and they have done it for £750 like they said. Very disappointing from a club sponsor! NO, I didn't want an STI, and YES, I could afford one if I did want one!!!!

I've been tidying my garden out, so filled it up with crap and did a dump-it run. washed it when I got home :)

and your profile says you're 53, I'm sure Tim is in his 60's

it can't be Tim, because you said lightly modded and Tim's car is a little bit more than lightly modded :lol:

welcome to the club car looks lovely :)

KFC :o http://www.snopes.com/food/tainted/kfc.asp looks like chicken, tastes like chicken, but....... :o

Hi mate welcome to the club have you had it long? any mods planned?

hi mate welcome to the club I was at the SSS meet too, black blob wrx. I spoke to a lot of people, not sure if I spoke to you or not? I've been going to the meet there for over 5 years now, it's usually a good turn out and a good group of people

I drive near Meadowhall shopping centre now and again, sometimes I drive into the multi storey car park, drive around in first gear making lots of noise, and then drive back out again

welcome to the club :D was it your first meet there? what's you name?

there's a hill near me that's a 40 zone, when I go downhill in 2nd I feather the throttle and get it popping and banging all the way, it's so funny seeing people jump or looking around smiling and watching me go past :D I must get 50 smiles per gallon

I had it remapped and it was a quick car, not sure if it was on a par with the cupra r though the most I ever got from a tank was just over 600 miles and the fuel light hadn't come on I had always wanted an impreza and just before my dad passed away he said 'enjoy yourself while you're here', after he died I sold the leon and got my first impreza

I like the Leon, I used to have the fr150, only got rid because it's got poor head room in the back

I wouldn't swap the engine, there are loads of other things that would need swapping too. Engine, turbo, ECU, full exhaust. Then its stuff like brakes, anti roll bars. It could also make it more difficult to sell, I'd sell yours as it is, so it will appeal to younger drivers or someone wanting cheaper insurance. NO, I didn't want an STI, and YES, I could afford one if I did want one!!!!

they look the same to me too, I said earlier that JCT cars wasn't cheap

another good turn out big thanks to martin for letting us have the meet there :D

my 05 reg wrx is on 105k and running 330bhp

Open source mapping by Racedynamix or similar will be about £350. if you want 330ish bhp, get a turbo, injectors, fuel pump and exhaust. You should be able to get those bits including fitting and mapping for about a grand. NO, I didn't want an STI, and YES, I could afford one if I did want one!!!!

yep, mine does it :D , I had pops and bangs mapped in it didn't do it much through the winter, but it's doing it more often now that the weather is warming up

Good result's, nice curve and 359 torque!!!!

I've wired a few care homes and not many of the staff are fit, but, some of the old women residents talk very rude though :o

to look for a leak before the turbo, spray brake cleaner on the pipes/joins etc. if it sucks any in, the revs will rise slightly to try and find one after the turbo, use soapy water and just look for bubbles appearing

:lol:

mine whistles when it comes on boost
