tee hee - no strings bikini - -
I would agree one of those would be on my lottery garage list - in fact as I recall it is in my list of top 10 cars in the other thread dedicated to this subject

I would agree with that - great showman but as a rally driver Higgins excels

Wotcha and welcome - lovely motor always pays off in the long run if you can be patient - although I do struggle sometimes myself

Check out savages thread on his build - porting and polishing does feature but what I would say is you are potentially looking at the sum of all parts - ie one part in the whole induction system will not make a differenece
very very nice that - I know one of the chaps was looking at a more stealth look which those skirts and the boot with lip spoiler would fit the bill perfectly
Mine also arrived today :)
Wotcha and welcome - your reputation precedes you, great to have you onboard
Wotcha and welcome!! Pete may be along soon or some of the other chaps down your way who could recommend a good paint shop
Wotcha and welcome
Wotcha and welcome
Bang is referring to the use of Iconel instead of stainless or mild steel for the engine exhaust valves - that material can withstand higher temperatures so if you replaced your existing valve train with ones made of Iconel you could run the anti lag for longer periods. with some ECU setups you can have functions and different maps activated by a switch. for normal running I wouldnt worry too much about antilag particularly if you use engine braking, launch control could be fun but again you would need a sequence or a switch to activate it other wise every junction / set of lights would be a full on grid start launch
also burns more fuel
that's pretty much it - a named brand - pipercross etc will give you a quality product but the cone filter on its own doesn't do a great deal - you may need to look at the inter-cooler pipe also if you fond no improvement once you change it
Wotcha and welcome - great colour on that motor, keep us posted on any of the info you discover along the way - additional mods actual power etc and as Gambit says feel free to get involved
As I was advised the 18's were an option and the Type UK was an STI with the PPP upgrade without it was an STI
really great example of nice detailing :)
Gary - Id prioritise a remap - the economy will not be great unless you completely reduce the bhp but obviously that defeats the object of buying the car in the first place - more to avoid ringland issues
I did check with Subaru before buying my type UK as I wanted to understand the differences also from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_Impreza They are versions of Impreza WRX STI for the UK market, with specific tuning by Prodrive. WRX STI 330S includes increased engine power to 330 PS (243 kW; 325 hp). WRX STI 380S includes increased engine power to 380 PS (279 kW; 375 hp), new wheels, an upgraded body kit. The vehicles were unveiled in British Auto Show. Subaru announced, on September 10, 2008, that the 380S variation would not be produced, due to homologation and specification difficulties. However, the regular 330S model did enter production as the "WRX STI Type UK".
That is not the case as before the 330s was introduced you had the standard STI running the 300 bhp as you have mentioned and the STI Type UK which is an STI with a dealer supplied PPP certified set of modifications - from an insurance perspective as it was a dealer supplied car it is not classed as modified. The TypeUK was effectively rebranded as the 330s plus some additions like push button starter and different recaro seats as standard.
look at handling and styling mods, upgrade the brakes for decent stopping ability suspension so it corners like its on rails, on this car the exhaust is more for looks and sound so have a browse and decide what is for you some examples in link but agree with Gambit on the spoiler and yourself on addressing the wheels if they look shabby http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=24_54 2 door conversion kit £950 and it is wider too ;) http://www.abwmotorsport.co.uk/#!newage-impreza/crkq these guys are local to you and built the 2 door Hawkeye http://www.just-subaru.com/
nice job that - quite the transformation
yup looks good and agree long overdue
