  3. Yeah good point that.i will try them with my regualar paint [emoji6] Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
  4. yep mine was doing the same,you may be able to tighten it a bit more,i did,it stop't it for about 3 more weeks till I fitted new belt,got my belt from tarmacsport not cheapest belt but worth it now its steering right.
  5. anyone no a good machine shop, engineering place with a mill that could re drill some lug nut holes into a alloy wheel, preferably in south Yorkshire.
  6. yeah that what I had read and my wrx has been upgraded to a vf52 so was wondering if it had come from a uk wrx-s or had been inported from states or something.those intercoolers are pretty crap,remember first time I removed my top mount I nearly pulled end off when I was wrestling it off throttle body hose,have to be fairly gentle with them.
  7. were all still learning things mate and am no expert on them either just stuff I have read like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowoff_valve and stuff I have been told or even watched on you tube.good choice that as if I was going to change back to a top mount I was going to go with a verticooler but puts me off having to import from America,so my plan was I was going to fab my own design one up and even maybe sell them,grimmspeed do a good top mount for the wrx and wrx-s as well,i follow a guy on youtube with the verticooler on a 400bhp wrx hatch so their good coolers,but we will see what I do when weather gets better and I can get back out side and get fabbin again oh and I forgot to say on my last post yes I still have the maf fitted on my car.so you have a turbo that bolts straight to the intercooler then like mine,do you no what turbo it is?
  8. that is correct, in full reserc then their is no lag as don't have the valve releasing all the pressure each time I change gear,their is about 2 1/2 metre of 3"inch pipe with a front mount so you want to keep pressure up,you really want to keep pressure up with a top mount also,thats why oem are reserc and not vent to atmosphere.vent to atmosphere are just to give you the silly woosh noise,their is no performance gains from having it,dont see rally teams venting to atmosphere,a dump valve is basically a safety valve nothing more just to keep pressure right but people I think firstly in japan started fitting vent atmosphere for shows and then everyone wanted the noise,your car is the wrx-s don't they have the big sti intercooler fitted to them,if so I wouldn't bother with a front mount unless your going 400bhp plus,your intercooler is good for 350bhp I read,my wrx topmount interccoler are tiny crap things,mine was already fitted to car when I got it but I can tell you if you do decide to go front mount,either get custom made so can have piping as short as possible and also don't buy the perrin or other other priced intercoolers as the cheaper ebay 1's do the job just as good and cost quarter the price.
  9. I have the gfb responce on my hatch fitted to my frontmount,if i have it fully vent to atmosphere then can feel the lag if you floor it,if i have it full recerc then i get the flutter noise from the turbo but car power is their straight away.on a top mount you wouldnt feel the diffrence as much as with frontmount lettin pressure out all that piping,i also had a gfb on a blob with top mount and car hated it just wouldnt run right so i went back to a oem sti recer valve with that and it made car 100% better.on the hatch i have it just open so its not very loud when venting and dont get back pressure and keeps enough pressure to stop lag.gfb is not a cheap blowoff valve but it is a good one just have to set it up to how car likes it and how you like the sound.

  10. Dont no about mobile phone but i have just seen a guy driving with headphones on and i mean the big dj style things.why what is he thinking.wish i could got a photo. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

  12. hi guys,my 08 hatch headlights have a couple scratchs on lens's so I am going to refurb them,i have also noticed one inside is not looking so good,the lenses I have no problem doing,what I was wanting to no is when I repaint the inside panel do I need to use high temp paint or just normal car paint do the job,i have read on internet normal car paint is ok,but I have also read that projectors will need high temp paint
  13. some right doggy F**kers about in their
  14. yeah think you may be right mate as it was the system I wanted for the hatch I had before best not buy anything though till after end month as mot is due then,have to see if it fails on anything first
  15. Had a nice drive in winter sun this afternoon,then quick wash when i got back make it shine again [emoji41] Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
  16. Have to admit i have headphones in sometimes when am on mountainbike,usually just have one in though so i can still hear if a bear goin to attack me in woods [emoji3] Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
  17. @Jay762 their is still bikers using their phones
  18. I have had warped disk before and it did not make it wobble, you would feel warped disk when you brake in pedal movement up and down, i would say the wheels you have bought may have a bad wheel among them, try changing the front wheel with the back pair and see if it changes, if so then have them check some were that checks them for being straight.
  19. what is the difference in uk and euro mirrors? Give this place a try http://www.adgespeed.co.uk/partssub.asp if you scroll down to bodypanels/light/glass section says they have them in £50,dont worry about colour if your cover is not broke as they just pop off so if wrong colour just change covers,would also ring them before you buy to make sure their right one you want.
  20. they sould just up the fine to about £500 and if your caught 3 times using it in your hand you get a month in prison,may sound harsh but while the punishment is so little then people will carry on doing it.hands free is ok if it don't distract you from driving.think they wont get anywere with this anyway when car manufacturers are putting wifi and stuff in cars now.
  21. @DDoc I have had a couple things from tarmacsport before, i have been looking at the Invidia Q300 with quad tips,little bit quieter then the N1 so still undecided yet what to get. if I do go for the N1 then it will be the street version as I have heard the N1 race is very loud.
  22. well after using car with my gauges in the dash vents I just did not like how they was, they seamed a bit low, you had to look down to look at them, so I have moved them up to eye level,much happier with them now and I originally bought a single din radio to fit them their so I get to use the new radio as well now, not that I have it on much anyway unless mrs is in with me. what you think.
  23. yeah that's what I do,but I only work 5 miles from home and oil temp gauge don't even get off bottom 50c by time I get to work so don't get much chance to boot it.
  24. I would really like one with a valve in it so its dead quiet for warming car up on a morning.i go work at 5am so lettin car warm up 10min not really a option,then when its warm and am off my street can open ot to give it some noise,also can have it closed when i have my little grandaughter in back,may ask if they can do something like that,guess am gettin old as well tidgy [emoji53] Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
