HawkSTI

I know what you mean. When I got the sti 6 weeks ago it felt like a rocket! now it just feels normal but everything else I drive feels slow. I think 320-340 ish will keep me happy for a while though. It's a pretty dangerous game when you can go from 0-speed limit in 4 seconds 🏎💨

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Were did you get that pic of @mattiekane from?

I like the hawk scoop. It's small and does the job, much like my manhood. I agree with the colour, gotta be wr blue every time for me 😎

Thanks. I've read that before and found it useful and I've also been in contact with Duncan recently. I had a bugeye wrx between 2006 and 2010 that I spent a small fortune on and Duncan live mapped that for me after I'd fitted a td05 16g among many other bits. It was an animal once he'd finished. The closest he can get to me now is roger Clarke motorsport on a Wednesday, so I'll either do that or scooby clinic. Undecided yet. Pic of my old wrx for no valid reason:

Number friends

Mad how we have the same favorite number

Everyone bangs on about German interiors, but personally I find them solid but a bit boring and bland. Absolutely love my rattley old sti interior, it's got character 😎 Sorry for the completely random thread 😂😂 just thought I'd share that for no reason.

You move fast mate! Quick progress there. I need coilovers after reading this 😂 Car looks a beauty😎

2 nice looking cars there 👍 Whats the fromt splitter on the sti? Quite fancy one for mine 😎

Yeah the prodrive back box is quiet. It's a touch louder than the standard sti one it replaced up in the higher revs. I bought a completely standard car and my original plan was to keep it stock. After having the car a week, I realised that wasn't going to happen. Plans are: cosworth panel filter-done prodrive back box-done import size number plates-done Straight through centre section upgraded fuel pump remap by reputable mapper coilovers (with geo set up) beyond that I'm not sure, probably just keeping on top of maintenance although I'll probably add more to list as I tick bits off. I want to keep it looking fairly standard (just lower with the coilovers) but would like at least 320bhp 👍

Welcome!

Thanks, yeah I've heard a lot of good things about the rainsports. Deffo gonna give them a go next time round.

My scoob had a full set of decent bridgestones on when I bought it and they seem decent in all weathers. I've had toyos on a few cars in the past and rate them highly, but the side walls are very soft. I think I'm going to try uniroyal rsinsports next cos it's always raining ☔️

@savage bulldogsThanks mate 👍 The impreza is a second car so will probably end up doing similar miles to you. I don't mind a stiff ride (😂) But my plan to keep this car original doesn't seem to be going well.

They look decent for 500 quid like, might have a go on a set of them and keep my standard set up in reserve

Sold 😂 Coilovers it is. Weres best place to get em

😂😂 cheers for that worrying mental image 😂 So what your trying to say is get coilovers?

Yeah I find the handling decent for road use to be honest. Hows the ride on the coilovers? Wouldn't rule out coilovers but don't want it too be to harsh for day to day use.

Evening, just after some opinions on lowering my 2006 STI. can someone reccomend some good springs that will lower the car slightly without changing the handing characteristics too much? i love the handling, the front just sits way too high in my opinion. Not really keen on going the coilovers route, so what's the best springs to buy? Any info would be great and if anyone has before and after pics that would be even better. Also added a pic of how it sits now for reference. Thanks 👍

@mattiekane @Rps just doing a test on how to use the tags, if this doesn't tag you I've f**ked up somewhere.

Fitted this and went for a spin!

😂 welcome mate, your car looks spot on 👍
