My New Classic Sti

[leeds_182]

Mines got the esl, so far so good.

Heard some really good things about it. Who mapped yours?

 

[imprezaworks]

Duncan from race dynamix or whatever it's called. Some mixed reviews about how good his maps are. It came mapped and hasn't blown up yet lol.

He pushes the boundaries but gets the most out of the cars..

 

[imprezaworks]

It goes like my evo used too, linear power= big smiles.

Last item purchased last night - decat down pipe.

Thats everything bought now - just fitting and mapping to sort now.

 

[yeecup]

you will be needing those brembos after that lots done.

No doubt! £450ish for a set with good disks and pads. Not too bad for that kind of stopping power (and looks ).

Will that mean both cats are out, or do you still have the 2nd cat in place? Sorry if it's been mentioned. I'm getting a decat downpipe fitted also, just a bit unsure about whether it's a good move or not haha.

 

[yeecup]

Think he now has no cats judging by pics of the exhaust he bought centre pipe was straight through Decat . Downpipe is the restrictive one

 

[Ray Gin]

Ah yes, see it now.

This. Took the centre one out for noise but the down pipe is where the performance gains come from. It's a bit of a pain as well so it's a good job mot places can be 'understanding'.

 

[leeds_182]

Dent man has been out today to get rid of those annoying car park dents.

 

[yeecup]

good work. they do ding easily, not the strongest metal ever made.

 

[leeds_182]

Ecu arrived today;

 

[leeds_182]

Noticed the other day that there was a LOT of water getting into the boot and arch area which is of course bad news.

After investigation it appears that the light had not been sealed properly following the fitting of a fog lamp so my mate joe came round and sorted it with a s**t load of sealant! Fingers crossed that should solve the problem.

 

[leeds_182]

Down pipe eventually turned up!

 

[imprezaworks]

Finally

 

[leeds_182]

Finally

Yeah, must've been at the courier depot for 15 days...

 

[imprezaworks]

Obviously

 

[YorkshireDaz]

Got these parts fitted yet?

 

[leeds_182]

No, they're still sat in the garage.

Im waiting the ecu coming back and then will go for it.

 

[leeds_182]

Got my samcos to fit as well;

 

[Cookson]

Branston beans? REALLY??

 

[leeds_182]

Branston beans? REALLY??

I find heinz sauce not thick enough.

 

[yeecup]

Branston>>>>>> Heinz

 

[leeds_182]

Ecu back from upgrade and it's now got a motorsport enabled sticker on it!

 

[leeds_182]

I had a change of heart with this car and decided to stay standard so most of the parts I bought have now been sold!

The car is also now back on the standard wheels;

[Mr R.]

Tbh I was a little bit shocked that you bought such a mint car and then started to modify it.

Don't get my wrong the engine mods are great but I couldn't be fitting later wheels to it.

Its just wrong.

Its like having a mint ph1 and fitting 182 wheel's to it.

Epic car mate, I love it.

 

[_Tom]

I await the for sale advert..

 

[Nick_Leeds]

Glad it's back on the original wheels looks better for it IMO.

 

[yeecup]

Good decision IMO . So hard to find a nice standard classic these days

 

[leeds_182]

Old rims at there new home;

[Mr Plums]

That impreza looks well in red.

 

[imprezaworks]

Rare too. Much prefer the red in jims classic though

 

[MG cup]

I liked it standard also, I'm surprised you changed your mind with the Clio money burning a hole in your pocket.

 

[YorkshireDaz]

Thanks for the wheels mate :0)

 

[andywa]

Looks bang on Jim.

 

[rollerdan]

Looks awesome , wish I could find one as mint as that looking for one to replace the ep3

 

[leeds_182]

Fog light covers are currently in for painting and just had to do the cv gaiter as it had split.

 

[BustaMOVEs]

Is that what was getting done at tims?
He has a nice RA, the bugger
