  1. No get a vf52 its a straight swap on the wrx Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
  2. @Niko169 as @kershaw-330s says start with simple mods first,something like a cosworth panel filter or perrin,then look at exhausts,most people go with 3" piping on exhaust but 2.5" pipe is just as good and can cope with upto 350bhp with no problem I was told by cobra exhaust.you wont really see any power gains with the 2 mods until you have it remap't,i would think about upgrading fuel pump before a remap and do your research on who your going to let map it,dont just let anyone because they are close do it,as said a good 280 remap will be much better then a 300 bad remap,also if it done by a cowboy your just going get problems further down the road.you said the car has great servive history but I always give my cars a oil change as soon as I get them,good service history or not,use good oil and a genuine Subaru black oil filter,dont put crap supermarket fuel in it either,its not good for them,use shell vpower if theirs one near you,use crap oil and petrol then expect engine problems.i have just noticed your in Rotherham,if you fancy a drive I live in wombwell your welcome to drop by and give you some pointers.
  3. How much did you pay mate? http://www.toyosports.co.uk/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-gd-gg-s-ra-p1-gc8-turbo-exhaust-system-turbo-back-93-06-836-p.asp Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
  4. I had a toyo sport exhaust on my bug wagon.nice and cheap and nice rumble to it. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
  5. Lmao good for extra 100bhp to car that. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
  6. On standard turbo and stuff your looking at about 270bhp after a remap with performance panel filter exhaust with sport cat if you did not want to decat the car and that would be resonable figure as not pushing engine.mine is at aboutits limit at 320bhp,but i dont mind if it blows give me a reson to build engine.and with right mids i no a guy who wrx runs 400bhp with a built engine.but as i allways say its a sport car.it can break on you in standard form or on max power,or it may never break at all,its pot luck with,them really.thing with the hatch is most things you have read about them breaking if you read it right is talking about the sti,sti had a lot more problems then the wrx or wrx-s models.

  7. Sti suffer ringland,wrx can suffer head gasket going.my first hatch suffered head gasket failure and it was standard apart from a exhaust.make sure its been look after good service history and regular oil changes. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

  10. My 08 wrx is running 320bhp,have a look at my build thread on here project blue mods on my car are listed on their.if you mod the wrx 1st thing you sould think about is upgrading the tinny intercooler its crap and being bolted straight on the turbo the plastic end caps can start to leak with only being bonded onto the cooler core.

  16. @Rkidder if your traveling then sheffield subaru services.
  17. so today i fitted some led side lights,much better now,not best picture but can see led nice white light and old crappy dull orange on the other side. while changing the side lights i had the air filter off,was going to spray the tube black or blue same as car as think it looks out place red,so when i removed it i found with it being stuck down in the wing it was dripping wet on the under side and also had been rubbing on body work and had some holes in it so a quick trip to halfords and a cheap £20 cone filter and bit modifying the old tube,think its much better now,also can not feel any diffrence in car with this £20 cone filter to when old £240 filter was on,also did the belt cover as well
  18. dont think my hatch will do much more power with out blowin something its at 320 at minute.
  19. Never use it as soon as light pops on to say air cons on i turn it off.i have drove for 30 year with out aircon so for the 2 weeks we get sun a year i can manage with windows open lol am looking to shed weight off car and also with out it on i can root my intercooler piping diffrent.
