  1. Nice! I think you have just made my mind up regarding spacers lol back th the drawing board thanks
  2. Off the top of your head do you know what thickness you can fit without arch work, I wondered if you thought 20mm from experience ? I have seen some 25mm ones but I'd guess they would stick out a little far and catch arch cheers
  3. Thanks for the reply , yes just the standard 17" gold wheels, I just thought they might give it a slightly more aggressive stance. Without seeing one though I'm not sure and there about 60/70 quid so don't just wanna chuck money away if no good. Plus the risk of them catching on the wheel arches as well and I definitely don't wanna be chopping me arches away as its a pretty mint car cheers . Unless anyone has tried it and it looks/works ok I prob won't risk
  4. Hi I've been looking at ways to make my 2003 sti uk look a little different, nothing major just subtle things. I've seen wheel spacers on ebay which bolt to the hub then my wheels bolt to the spacer ,has anyone had experience with these? Would they fit on my car or is arch work required ? Is it a mod worth doing will it make car look slightly more aggressive in stance? Thanks for any advice and apologise if it's a stupid question I've asked
  5. Thanks for suggestions will definitely be looking into it in the coming months :)
  6. Sorry for adding another question in quick succession but what is a safe bhp without upgrading internals, it's only my weekend car so won't do many miles cheers
  7. Ok thanks for quick reply, if I upgrade turbo is it simple case of buy and bolt on or will it need mapping again after? Is it worth taking cat off? Iv heard mixed opinions over the years on de cat . Is the boost adjustable on an sti? Is it just a cause of winding a rod ( as my old escort turbo years ago was) or would just a turbo upgrade and that's it? What bhp gain from upgrade turbo thanks for any help
  8. Hi I have recently purchased my first impreza and first impressions great! I also own a 300zx twin turbo manual running 430 bhp, my impreza has a dyno sheet showing 327 bhp. It's a 2003 sti uk with Pro drive. I want to get rid my 300 as the subaru is a nice compromise, not as quick but better on fuel more space and hopefully less tinkering ( iv replaced clutch, wheel bearing, timing belt and water pump and alternator in last month on my 300) my question is I'd like a little more power out my scooby, not massive but around 350 ish , other than exhaust and the pro drive upgrade I have no idea what mods have been done, would a remap be worth while or an Intercoller upgrade? I know cars well but nothing really about imprezas so and advice guidance be appreciated thanks
  9. Thanks I'll have a look through that , 200 sx probably more sensible option, cheaper to run, easier to work on and less to go wrong. But I do enjoy my 300 I must admit. Looking forward to 4wd and the subaru exhaust note though
  10. Hi, just bought my first impreza 2003 sti with pro drive pack. Also have 430 bhp Nissan 300 zx. I'm a mechanic of near 20 years and now teach at college , anything to look out for on my impreza or common faults thanks
