I had a look on the subaru usa site. They get a sunroof over there but the muppets call it a moonroof :)

I do need to try the dales at comes point. If anyone is up cumbria way I recommend penrith to hartside, Alston, Middleton in teas dale then back to the a66 at Brough

I've got a lead foot so still getting 20 mpg most of the time but I have had it up to 28 on one sensible trip. I'm not sure how many miles I'm getting to a tank though I've never let it go under a quarter tank yet. Yea its defibetly started to loosen up I've really felt the difference over the last 300 mile

High spirits there has been a load more brought over as they sold well last year. Mine only came off the boat from Japan last month

Welcome, nice to see another member with the new sti. I've just hit the 1000 mile mark now my car is already starting to feel better :) I've seen a few other new sti's round my way. Looks like they're selling a few.

this probably won't get released here or if it does will bear no resemblance to the wrx sti or whatever it's called.

The jdm gets so many weird and wonderful models. Look at the new impreza s4 for instance, looks ok but only has a daft cvt 'box

There's a wrx sti type S in Japan as well isn't there? A 2.0l with the same power as our 2.5 sti but more torque and better fuel economy, direct injection and twin scroll turbo. Let's hope they come to their senses and start selling the Japan models worldwide.

Still a hatch by looks of this

These videos are terrible. Thanks for giving us a link to look at the new cars but there's nothing worse than going on YouTube to see a few pics with some shirt music over the top.

Read rollamites thread save ash going into a rage same outcome

Trying to find the thread, any links?

I don't think there is a fixed definition it varies from tuning company to company and across model ranges

 

I have always approached stage 1 as bolt on so filters and exhaust end can

stage 2 involves bolt on changes that need a remap to get optimum effect so full exhaust and or turbo replacement

Stage 3 onwards is engine internals - but you can always rebuild an engine with cdb and fully forged / lightened components - still using all the OEM external stuff - so dont know if this is classed as a stage or not?

I agree with this it seems to vary from tuner to tuner. Scoobyclinic offer a lot of tuning packs and it seems to vary from car to car also.

I'll do some heists before or after racing if you still need someone

That saloon is tidy the price ain't that bad every mod is quality stuff he hasn't put any cheap **** on it to be fair.

You're bound to be able to plead ignorance to some extent but then some people would have pics on Facebook "look at my new exhaust" etc

you didnt no you have to inform dvla if you change a engine in your car 

That's what I'm saying engine number is on the logbook isn't it so dvla have to be informed I wonder if that's the part they are trying to get him on fraud charges for. He could always say he bought it like that and just thought his 1.4 was a bit nippy haha.

I had a blast in a mates 2.0l turbo nova on a drag strip, it was pushing out around 300 bhp, once it stopped shredding the front tyres in 3rd and got traction it was a rocket, still the fastest thing I've ever drove once it gets off the line!

In that article it says he is to appear in court for road traffic and fraud offences and it says the undeclared mods mean his policy is void therefore he is driving without insurance. I guess your supposed to tell the delay of an engine swap as well not just your insurers. I don't like that they have said he had aftermarket wheels, they are clearly OEM astra gsi wheels :)

Did the picture link work gambit? Yea they're extreme mods so a harsh punishment. I wonder what the punishment would be for maybe a couple of smaller mods like wheels and an exhaust.

Just found this on the north umbria police Facebook page. A corsa has been seized for running a 2.0l turbo motor in a 1.4. Makes you think twice about trying to get away with a few mods and not telling the insurance.

Get the evo they're miles better only joking test them both though even if you have made your mind up

You're right there huw what I'm saying is I haven't felt the need to try them as I've always ran so called summer tyres all year round and never had a problem getting anywhere

On the thread I read hatch sti's between 2008 and 2010 had a lot of issues with melted pistons but the 330s software seemed to prevent this.

I personally think that's a bit of marketing BS by the industry. As long a you have a decent brand with decent tread to disperse water it will be fine all year round. Look at the good year eagle f1 as an example it's got a really good wet handling rating and I'm sure it's not gonna end up in a crash the first time you try and take a bend after the temp drops to 6°c. It seems to me like it's only over the last 4 or 5 years that the industry is trying to make us believe we need different tyres at different times of year, if you ask me if you don't live up a mountain it's a load of crap to make you part with your cash.

Don't mean to sound negative about it so I guess what I'm saying is its worth buying a good brand of tyre that's performed well in group tests as long as it's not too focused on being a fast road leaning towards a track tyre and has good tread and wet grip and decent tyre life

If it ain't a winter tyre or a track day tyre isn't pretty much everything else an all season tyre anyway?

Ha that kid got bumped wide at one corner and he was still bitching and wiping people out 3 races later

I've pulled a few sickies in my time but never to play xbox lol

I can't make it again tonight covering a night shift :( have fun guys
