Wrx 03 exhaust help
if it was me I would re-map. one to get the most out of your better breathing and two to stop any over boosting or anything like that :) but if you are getting the re-map it may be best to think what else you may do in the future and trying to combine it all together to save re-re-mapping down the line. (trust me, Mines in for its third re-map :') )

It doesn't say it's been counted Jay, some peoples Facebook don't seem to like the app and it means you need to spam the vote button until it goes blue. Thanks for your time buddy!

Wrx 03 exhaust help
You can normally get rid of the Up pipe cat with no MOT Issues, aftermarket sports cats remember you need them hot for them to work well and pass the MOT, if you were to do any i would say the Up-Pipe (get a decat one from the STI), its a bigger job to get it fitted as it means taking out the turbo (Probably £160 fitting cost) but will give good response different, also it can be an issue if they disintegrate the cat inside goes through your turbo and ruins it.

Which feels faster ? Quicker spool, or an extra 10bhp top end... on our British roads?

High Speed Noise
When i get up to 120mph (On the track) my car makes a squealing noise, like something is rubbing or there is some fast flowing wind whistling but it only starts around 120, 125. sounds like its coming from my wheel area, any ideas?? not the kind of speed you want something to go wrong at. Kind regards Chris

Its all about that bass
May be worth looking at what you would need to get to 450 HP http://www.racedynamix.co.uk/remap/subaru-remapping/typical-upgrade-path-newage-2-0-sti/ The above link gives a good rule of thumb Just weather the cost saving is worth the difference in breaks, 6 speed transmission, some stronger parts, bigger top mount, bigger turbo and so on. but on the plus STI parts are normally avaliable if you find someone breaking up an STI, or if you could find yourself a doner STI ? All depends on what you can get for what price

Brake Upgrade
Expensive hobby this Subaru business... I think the option that is in my budget is to not go at a speed (in certain areas) where i need big breaks

Brake Upgrade
To go with my VF34 (or 35) upgrade I am planning i want to improve my brakes, as the standard WRX ones arn't the best. What are my options if I don't want to spend too much to see a good improvement? (Indication of cost would be helpful) Kind regards Chris

Stop Spacers Scraping
Hello all, I recently put some 25mm wheel spacers on my 03 impreza blob eye, looks amazing but... if i hit a bump or go to fast around a corner they make a horrible sound as they are hitting the wheel arch, is there anything i can do that isnt spending £600 on a full set of coilovers? Thanks in advance :)
