Wotcha and welcome - loving the colour scheme - clearly you are a bit of a shrinking wallflower :D

Wotcha and welcome matey

Wotcha and welcome - feel free to get stuck in - no such thing as a daft question however the thread you raise it in may take on a life of its own as we have been known to stray off topic on occasion

Wotcha and welcome!!

Wotcha and welcome!!

Hatch is softer on the standard suspension compared to the blob, steering also not as sharp - feedback from a friend of mine who had owned both classic and blob models after driving my hatch STi

Wotcha and welcome - I to had a laugh at the little kiddy looking on - then I spotted the batman badge - looks awesome, great finish

Wotcha and welcome Jay - sounds like you may well have some choice upgrades for a bargain price. Here is the link which describes the prodrive mods - I'm assuming yours is a blobeye wrx, in which case selecting WRX 2.0 2003-2004 describes the parts you have seen already http://www.subarupartsstore.co.uk/category/Performance_Parts/Prodrive_Performance_Packs,b.html

Wotcha and welcome - I can see you and Matt having quite a bit to discuss :)

wasnt there an engine in another thread - 1400 but would mean you are back up and running and with fully forged CDB reliability? Then you could work on the engine and sell on?

Wotcha and welcome - if there is no photographic evidence it isn't true, feel free to get some shots posted ;)

try putting some copper grease on back of pads?

A nice little upgrade for someone

How much do you want for it?

Wotcha and welcome!

Is it a 2005 hawkeye?

That is a fair bit of labour if you are not doing it yourself

Brilliant!

Photos and a price may help the sale

How old do I feel now :P

Matt - is it better (in theory) to change the whole engine and gearbox from a simplicity perspective or is it more to do with including the rear axle as well?

wow 15K that is steep

not a silly question - auto to manual close ratio six speed STI box - hmmm lovely :)

Yup that should cover you

Removing one will make a difference as it is improving flow - removing both with be the most beneficial - or replacing with a sports cat. If it was me I would remove the 2nd cat (closest to back box) just for ease of replacement - you are just mating up to one old surface instead of two. You will notice a change in exhaust note if you remove the cats - but there is nothing to stop you putting them back - if you like the noise as is but want additional performance go for a sports cat replacement and remap over a complete de cat
