ahhhh now that's the ticket - some great progress there Bazza, its good your lad is getting in amongst it as well :)

Each car is individual so whilst the ECU will plug straight in (in most cases) a remap should be completed

Have you got an oil temperature and oil pressure gauge fitted also a turbo boost pressure guage? If you are looking at modding your car it is an idea to keep an eye on things, so if you don't have these I would consider them as one of the first things you put in your car

yup cheaper than a Motec M800

inner wing - wheel arch mounts?

You wouldn't miss that one would you

We got stung that way as well - also a relative got stung with the windscreen replacement thing - doesn't affect your no claims 'my !Removed!!'

Its amazing how it does seem to collect behind the bodywork

I would say so :)

They had my vote - as I said before only thing I wasn't convinced about was the STI logo

methanol - an alcohol you mix with the petrol to give an improved burn rate - that doesn't need to be the first mod, that is something you get to when you have completed the engine mods and are looking at the mapping, it is then you decide to have it mapped with meth as a consideration or keep it as petrol only

best way - its like a big sweety shop - they all taste great but some dont mix as well as others - and non of them are going anywhere :)

soooo this is a good thing right???

no problem - yes you can might need a torch but get stuck in - you can see more of it here this is a front view of the engine

Wotcha and welcome - that is a tidy vehicle you have there :)

hatching on the block

I would have a look to see what engine is in the car before you start - is it a closed deck block or not - if so it will respond better to tuning than a standard block

350 - 400 will be pushing past the TMIC capabilities - so you will be looking at FMIC bigger injectors an uprated fuel pump... I rescued this from an old thread that we may have lost in the recent hiccups so unfortunately I cannot credit the member who originally posted it... Just a bit of weee advice if your planning on running big power and im not trying to put you off its just ive looked into it , STI internals and closed block are good for over 450bhp if it has Forged internals, standard cooler is good for 300 maybe more, STI intercooler is good for over 350 but by this stage most start to Run front mount intercoolers but beware of the lag. Turbo again is down to preference but steer well away from the over priced billet turbos from Scooby clinic ( which arnt even made by them they are imported and have there names added) id be looking at Either an Andy forrest turbo hybrid or get in touch with Turbo Dynamics ( good company ) built my current stage 3 hybrid for fez RS, Bigger injectors and Fuel pump will be needed as well. I would and this is purely down to my preference get a multi stage boost controller and have 3 maps put on it, Race obviously most power, Town some boost, and eco next to no boost. Cams performance in Blackburn got this from standard internals Brian Coward (STi Type UK) 490.6 bhp 407.8 lb/ft If you check out this months Jap perf car mag there is the RA developments classic which may give some food for thought http://www.ramotorsport.co.uk/Product/Category/QD20100622015735 - there is also my personal muse the original Gobstopper by RCM http://www.rogerclarkmotorsport.co.uk/gobstopper/official/index.htm

Have seen a couple of vids on the drive 'channel' but not seen this one - will pick this up tomorrow :)

could be a worn steering rack but I would also check your wheel hubs for play

proper job - no messing ;)

ah - that is slightly different then :)

As soon as your mum gets herself another Scoob point her in this direction to share some pics etc

Wotcha and welcome Jamie - we have had a Fozzy alarm discussion on here recently and apparently the Sigma was an alarm upgrade not standard so may not have been fitted from new
