Thanks, I may go the turbo route, with a front mount cooler, bigger valves, but only being 2ltr I dont want it to go rice crispies, snap, crackle POP! Fine line between tuning and over tuning where you put too much strain on it. Cheers.

Hi, I have a fairly standard 2004 Wagon, it has 4" full Cobra ss exhaust, no silencer, just the back box, ss, Cobra downpipe with a small sports cat, K&N typhoon induction kit with all fittings and imported manifold thats it so far on the go faster stuff for now, took it to Xi Mitorsport for dyno and remap, they were astounded by the results, I was open mouthed 310.2 bhp no mechanical upgrades, well chuffed, if I take it easy, its noticeably better on fuel too, though not much.☹ as has been said many times, improve the air intake and exhaust first, loads in, loads out.

Hello, I have seen Wolfrace 18" alloys and tyres 2nd hand, 5x100 from a 2016 Seat, would they fit my 2004 WRX wagon? Thank you. JohnDil.

Hi, having been stalled by visits to hospital I can now continue in improving my 2004 WRX Wagon, I have come across HKS Silent 3" bore cat back system, quite a bit more expensive than the usual suspects, are they worth the money, I bought a 3" sportscat downpipe for £230. so now want to complete the system. Being an old git I dont want it super noisy, but I dot want it to sound muffled either, I want the best powergain I can get, I have a K&N Typhoon induction kit installed and will go for a stage 2 remap. Cheers. JD. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201266128660?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true

I have just bought one from Scoobyworld, http://preview.tinyurl.com/pdbc9t3 £70! I have seen some for less tan £20! Can the job be done from just inside the car, or do you have to go undrerneath? Thanks.

Welcome, Wrexham, handy for Zi Motorsport and Demon Tweeks!!

How are these people allowed on the road! :o

I'd rather not think about it, I want to think its 25, but deep down, I know its less, Just K&N Typhoon and large bore ss manifold atm. I use Shell nitro, but I'm open to change, not keen on their staff or forecourts. :(

As well as a Wagon, I have a Smart forfour Brabus, with Ronal Monoblock 17" alloys, wife hit a pothole last year, £320 for a wheel and tyre, she went to town this Winter 2 already, £660 already, the roads here in North Wales are !Removed!! :-(

Probably think its securitied up to the max! :-)

Cheers,... glad you got it!! ;)

Thanks, I paid £3,250 cash, they were asking £3,500 it was a P/x at a place called Junction Autopark in Llandudno Junction, North Wales, They specialise in 4x4 and higher end cars and would normally send to auction, but it was in such good nick they decided to sell it themselves. it had done 94K though, but absolutely stock, it also had new tyres all round and 12 months MOT. I spent £660 on brakes and pads, and another £1k on bits and bobs, and plan to spend more on it, rear tints, full turbo back system, remap, cambelt kit, its worth it as its a very sound car. Good Luck, there are lots out there!! :)

Thanks so much to you all! I absolutely love the car, its such fun to drive and I love the noise, its so "Get out of my way" I'm going to sell my Smart Brabus to fund further spending on it! I have just ordered front and rear strut braces, they are cars that you can spend on, but appreciate the difference too! zimotorsport in Wrexham are not far away and are also close to Demon Tweeks, so Ill take a trip up there also. Thank you all!!

Hi, I have looked at buying an Impreza for many years, but as I only have residents off road parking, I was wary of buying a saloon as it would attract the wrong kind of attention and previous cars (Audi A6 & BMW 530i) had been keyed. Anyway, I had passed a red wagon WRX a couple of times and stopped to look at it, it was in mint unmolested condition, I loved it! And bought it the next week, despite having 2 other cars. This was back in April this year, I have fitted a K&N Typhoon induction kit, a front splitter, the mirrors were the only marked parts on the car so I fitted grey carbon covers. The brakes were pants so, I fitted slotted EBC Ultimax discs with yellowstuff pads. The body is amazing for its age, no rust or any stand out scuffs at all. Interior is unmarked, except for the usual drivers bolster! Looking at s/h prodrive wagon seats, I put in a double din head unit, the previous owner had kindly left a Parrott 9200i in the car! I absolutely love it! I'm after a turbo back full system, Mongoose any good? Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Cheers.
