pick up new alloys tomorrow,while waiting I thought I would do a photoshop of them on my car as I wasn't really that sure if I would like them.think it will look spot on now I have some idea what it will look like

 

Did you fit the vents at the front or is that photoshop as well? Also wheels look good be cool to see them on the car.

What pod is that you have used for the boost gauge?

Thanks

Really like the light delete. I won't know where to start but looks cool.

I have the 08 wrx hatchback so the 2.5 engine. Mpg is an issue for me as a do mileage for work. I get at best 27 mpg after a few little mods.

I do love the car for everything other than distance. I keep thinking about a second car for distance. But when I think about it I enjoy the Impreza to much after all life is to short to drive boring cars.

Know it won't help but I have 18's on my 08 wrx. I copied the sizing of the wheels and tyres from the wrx-s. haven't haven't had anything would call clunking from the diff or anywhere that I could spot.

Thanks for posting think I got my head round it all now so will get a few bits ordered and get on from there.

Yer the more I look into it the more I think I will find 2 good cans and some hose and just make it up myself I dont mind spending money on the car but I dont want to spend £400 on something that can be done for much less.

Look at their eBay site, cans are a little cheaper and no postage charges, it is easier to build a set up yourself, mishimoto stuff will be all the right length and have nice bends etc etc

lol £400 were you buying that from,you can get them for about £60 on ebay but i was looking at this 1 as its a good name,but can make your own for less then £100

Its a 2 can set up not sure how needed the 2 cans are but they do one for the pcv and one for the crack casing I think so the pcv system stays separate.

They also sell the cans for about £100 on there own so really its like £200 for some brackets and hose.

Also just found some videos on youtube and won't be getting the grim speed so thank you for the heads up.

I am this close to ordering the grim speed  but haven't done yet. I have been put of the catch cans as the only kit I can find is £400 I know I can make one up cheaper so might keep looking. 

I had oil in my intercooler last time I looked and have been remapped since then so would expect it to be worse now.

I like the idea of the grim speed just set and forget and most people seam to like it but I will look on youtube and see what your saying.

Just looking into catch cans at the moment do you find you have blow by issues running that much power over stock?

Back with a thread redirection. 

I am still looking and thinking about the Grimspeed oil air seporator as it looks like an easy install and drops the oil back into the engine. 

Its a choice between that but it is still expensive at over £200 or the mishimoto system that is crazy expensive at over £400 for the 2 can set up. 

I guess i can can just buy the cans and try and make the system myself but not sure how well

that will go. 

My photos are up guys. Dident get lots round the show but got all on our stand. They are on my Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/AlexMcCranor

Hope that link works.

Good day as always lads. Just got back home. I will get the photos uploaded and posted on my page this week if I can.

Looking forward to the next one.

Hi guys,

Yesterday I had a set of BC coilovers fitted to my wrx hatch. Really happy so far driven about 150 miles already getting home and so on.

The garage set them at 10 from soft all round and said that should be right for on the road.

I found it rather bouncy at first but seams to have settled down a little now.

I am just wondering what setting people find best and if I should be running different front and back for best from a scooby being it's all wheel drive.

I have tested them at 15 all round and thought it was to hard. But part of that could be in my head.

At this moment they are 10 at the back and 12 on the front just because I am playing.

Just looking for any advice

Thanks

This is the colour I would get I think. Lovely car.

Glad to see it fits with the zunsport and front mount. I ordered a zunsport ready for my front mount and was disappointed when I found out how it fits. How did you do the brackets?

If it's not been mapped after de-cat then yes getting it mapped will not only help it's a must. Also if it's a light is coming one because of the de-cat a mapper can set this to stay off.

If you can not find out if it's been mapped or not but it's driving badly a map could be a good idea. I am not sure if there is a way to check if it's already been mapped but most sellers would tell you as it's a good selling point.

No worries. Want a VF52 for mine now good to see it can handle the power as well.

Had a go at tinting the rear lights and gave up, not my most successful day.

Just looked closer at the graph so the power shown is fly wheel. The bottom line from the start is hp and the other is torque again at the flywheel.

The other graph is afr and manifold pressure.

I think that's right anyway.

Just looked at mine and it has 2 figures on it but I think its what it was before the map and then after.

So is that 242 at the wheels and 320 at the fly?
