New member, Impreza Sti hatch, security ideas?
Xander replied to Pottsey13's topic in New Members Introductions
Easy tracker is an old iPhone with Giffgaff or other pay as you go sim in. You can use apples find my phone system to track the phone / car. Has gps and everything built in plus a back up battery. Just give it a power feed and hide it in the car. -
Hi, welcome. I have a wrx hatchback so not the same but similar. Induction kits are a pain most people don't bother as you need a map after it's been fitted but the stock air box is very good so only reason to do it is the sound. As for the bov again if you are going vent to air it needs to be mapped onto the car. For noise I am not sure how many cats the sti has but removing one along with a resonator will get the sound up for you.

Welcome. I have a wrx hatchback basically the same car but yours has had the pro drive treatment giving it some extra power and some nice trim from factory. However pro drive dident go nuts you will have about 250hp I think from factory a custom map and exhaust will take it to about 270 and put it on par with the STI's due to weight. What are you goals with modding the car? Nice to see another hatch on here :-D -
Also I use cosworth filters in the stock air box. Apparently no need to get a intake system unless you need the space.
-
For the power 270-280 you just need an exhaust and a remap. I went for a 3 inch turbo back with sports cat and race dynamix for remap got 270hp and if you have a full de-cat can get 275hp. I also went for a light flywheel so I lose less power so not sure what the car really makes but it's at least 270 with a big increase in torque as well. Xander

Cool well let me know if your selling it. Might be interested. Still got to decide what I an doing but think fmic is something I what. How come your going back top mount?
-
Thought you had sold up. I haven been on it ages but glad to see the car is still going well. How do you find the vf52? I got mine mapped a few weeks ago very happy but it's fmic and bigger turbo now on my wish list.
-
How many we got then?
-
Good times! Taking it down the strip this time? Not sure yet. It has been mapped so might be. Shall see if any other mods fall onto it before the show.
-
That's me booked on then. Stacey just found out she has it off work :-D
-
Just waiting to see if Stacey has the weekend off work and will get it booked. When is the closing date?
-
I am aiming for about 8 but it's a 5am start and I need to walk the dogs first...
-
Thank shall order a set then :-D
-
Sorry guys I really wanted to make it but the car pack in yesterday so not making it anywhere for a while.
-
Do you still have any of these? Thanks Xander
-
Also if anyone wants SOC show plates lets me know asap so I can get them ordered in time.
-
I have the heko ones on my Impreza and have had them on my last 4 cars. I like the look and they let you open the window a little bit without letting rain in or without it being crazy loud or windy. But really it's a choice on the look as there is a function to them but it's nothing amazing.
-
Got one on the hatch. I probably wouldn't have got one myself but it came on it and has been handy and sure I would have scratched the bumper by now.
-
Did you end up breaking this?
-
Nice man, love the comfort upgrade. Also the prodrive seats look cracking.
-
Still have this if anyone wants to make an offer.
-
Nice just looked and leister forest services is in the sat nav so shall just set it as that.
-
Yer that's fine mate. What should I put in my satnav to find you? If I get there about 6.30 then? -- I make Films for businesses and people. I also make websites.
-

-
