Previous car was a 2007 low mileage Honda S2000 (fantastic car, just too small), 2014 Audi A6 S-Line (stupid knee jerk purchase and although it had all the extras, was as boring as chuff to drive) and previous to that 2008 LandRover Discovery 3 (great car, just like driving an arm chair wherever, whenever and is at home in a field similar to a fancy hotel). Current vehicle 2014 WRX STi new shape, best car I've had since my 1996 Prodrive Turbo 2000, 20 years ago :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just ordered some EBC Bluestuff NDX and Motul 600, so we'll see. Can't say I'm 100% convinced in the EBC's but we'll see [emoji39] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Must say that's one of the nicest I've seen, got a soft spot for a nice classic. [emoji106] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Going to try and make this my first SOC show [emoji39] Darren

Cheers stants, you done any track days on them? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Any feedback would be really appreciated [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Couldn't agree more Gambit, speaking from personal experience [emoji6] not something men tend to want to talk about. Hopefully this gets better very soon and we see less men (& women) lose their life to such a fatal illness. RIP Dave. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yeah looking forward to hearing people's comments. I was quite impressed by the reviews/feedback on other forums for the EBC Bluestuff NDX, so they are top at the moment with PF Z second and Ferodo 3rd just down to the noise problems a lot of people report, and initial cold braking.

Thanks Geoff, I had the DS2500 in my S2000 as daily pads and never had a problem with them, just not 100% sure they are right for the STi with the increased weight and other differences. BTW I would be changing pads all round to the new compound. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I need to replace my brake pads as they are getting near end of life ;-) I'm also planning on doing a couple of track days this year and have a performance driving course booked for middle of May. What I'd like to do is get some pads which are good enough for everyday fast road and also the odd track day. I'm also a little heavy on brakes from past couple of track days I've done, so a little unsure what might be best. I've narrowed down to 3 possible options, Ferodo DS2500, Performance Friction Z pads or EBC Bluestuff NDX (not the regular blue stuff compound). Car is a 2014 (new shape) STi with standard tune/Brembo brake setup. On a side note any other potential upgrades to consider, specifically on the safety/reliability side. No interest in performance at the moment until my driving skills match the cars :-) Thanks all Darren. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If you end up getting an ODB adapted, the Bluetooth ones don't work with iPhones you will need a WiFi version. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice reminds me of my first 96 Prodrive Classic I had approx 18 years ago [emoji39] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Excellent start, welcome.... Just stay away from any passenger rides in a turbo [emoji6] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Opie are great to deal with, good prices and quick delivery and I rate the Miller products for both engine, diff and gearbox. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Tarmac Sportz , really good to deal with, good price and one of it not the main RA distributor for UK. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Fitted to my 2014 STi no problems and no drilling. Very good quality kit. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I went the Rally Armour route and they are fantastic with great fitting kit/brackets.... No regrets in spending the money. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'd second Rik's comments and if you end up getting it done don't need necessarily go with cheapest. It's all about the prep and that takes labor effort. I had my last bumper respray back 3 times before I'd accept... rushed preparation. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Can't wait to hear the H&S exhaust, get some video up when you've had it done.... I'm on the edge of replacing my back boxes with H&S at the moment, Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Welcome Stuart [emoji2] looks fantastic and hope you enjoy it... Any plans? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Will do Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My regular is closer to 22/24mpg [emoji12] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So was mainly just shifting to next gear at earliest possible time without putting any undue stress on engine, so usually about 2200-2500 rpm, and gradual acceleration rather than foot down and go ;-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
