Easy! My WRX was running 307bhp 299lb/ft. That was running TD05 turbo (standard on early saloon imports) 440cc (yellow) injectors, Walbro 255l/ph fuel pump, completely decatted exhaust, HKS induction kit, front mount intercooler and mapped on Apexi PowerFC management. Not a lot could touch it...

Early classic WRX Ra will be, again, age dependant, ~240-260bhp....not really up on the newer models, as i'm purely a classic Impreza man tbh.

Yes there is a WRX Ra and an STi RA.....there's far too many models in all honesty, but you can't beat anything that has the STi RA part in it imho. Our last 2 rally cars have been based on the STi RA with DCCD gearbox. In comparison to my old road car Scooby, which was by no means standard...

It's a hawkeye....still lightweight though. If it IS a Spec C, break the bank for it, you won't be disappointed. On the classics it's the STi Ra that has the "stronger" engine, i.e closed deck block, although very early WRX's also had the CDB which was phased out to only being used on later...

Being a Hawkeye, it could be a Spec C RA....basically THE daddy of all Scoobs. But yeah, lightweight version, close ratio 'box. Raw.

Press the end of the windscreen wiper stalk to scroll through it. I assume they're the same as a 172 anyhow! :o

LOL!! Never thought to apologize when we have an off! Just want to get on with it and get going again!

Doesn't sound right then, as I just fitted mine and has dropped it a fair amount, and they're not that much harder than standard IMHO.

Yeah pretty much. IIRC, only from what I have read on here mind, is that you'll be lucky to see a 10mm drop on Prolines.

The Eibachs never seem to lower them anywhere near the stated drop tbh. I just fitted Sportlines to mine and they're nowhere near the stated drop...thank god lol! This CS advice is good advice.

You'd be better off buying my standard 172 springs :approve: lol

I shall ask my mate, or The Imp Man, and get back to you, there's a few Imps kicking about here tbh!

15" F1's can be for heros, i'll have that extra inch and not be one :rasp: ;) Hutchie, the Imp is my mates, that's just a doner for his one he's currently, when he get's around to it, building. There's a guy here who restores/builds them just up the road from me, he has a proper ex-works...

I am indeed! Going for the full weekend, driving down Saturday, camping, show Sunday, camp Sunday night and drive home Monday! I only bought them from Revolution, fitted them myself, no one works on my car but me, i'm the only one I trust! Thanks, I wasn't sure at first, but now it's...

For now it feels fine, but because i've spent that much on it in the past 3 weeks or so, new shocks will have to wait until after French Car Show. My verdict and opinion, thus far though, is that the standard shocks are fine so long as they're in good condition. I'm uprating in the next few...

The fact they're brand new tyres won't be helping much either. Put a few miles on them and they should come good, my Toyos were a bit like this to begin with, but they're MUCH better with a few miles on them.

LOL It's ok, because I did when the lad brought them through from out back when I picked them up, kept quiet 'til I seen the red springs though haha!

Cheers Lou :rasp: I didn't Will, they are the Sportlines...

As per the title, went over to Revolution in Gateshead this morning for my new lowering springs, Eibach Sportlines, and fitted them this afternoon, and now, I think, the 172 is ready for FCS!! Happy days indeed! Piccies... They'll still need to settle a bit more, as these were taken...

^^^ This! As for getting it even all the way around....line the back of the little tabs up with the back of the bumper, and it keeps it level all the way round. Nice and easy :) Here's about the only on i've got of mine fitted close-ish up... hope that helps!

Nice one, i'll take the risk of reusing it then, ta!

Just out of curiosity... Do you need to replace the gasket (I assume there is one in there!) between the plenum and the lower part of the inlet? I'll be doing my plugs this weekend and would need to order a gasket before then if necessary. Cheers.

Thanks for this! Been considering the diamonds yellow and the bullets like yours on my 'berg for ages now.....I think i've been convinced! Love it!

More to the point.....track day at Interlagos! Jealous much! :(

This, but i'm an old git lol. Stupid question, but have you tried any of the comparison websites? Always came up trumps when I was younger with a decent car!

Love it! How low is that, and what's it lowered on? Ghetto fixes FTW!!

On the jacking points on the sills.

Anti roll bar bushes. Mine was doing this until I swapped them out for poly bushes.

Cars look great! Good pics.

It'll be the odd one out on the Club-306 stand at FCS, can't be a deserter to the club that i'm mod on, and a member of for years. Always go with them, even with the Scooby last year lol. Looking forward to seeing the CS stand though :)
