looking great great wheels, what are they? i've just ordered myself a 330mm 4 pot brake kit and need some wheels that they'll fit under. you know what my car looks like and they'd really suit it. i'm tempted to have a go a climb or two once it's all done.

Hillclimb?

Na, don't do it.

You will spend £££
Have a great time
Spend more to go faster
Have a great time
Spend a fortune on a lot of things to go faster
Have a great time
Spend even more and make a few mistakes
Have a great time

There is a common message there from some one who has done it for a long time.

lol. so what do i need as a minimum? race licence, roll cage etc?

911

Licence/clothing/minimum prep on the car (!) roll cage is a good idea.
A season will cost about £1000 in fees to enter etc.

The car needs to be solid and 'MoT' safe.

A 4 point race harness is a good idea too.

If you have the car, then about 1500 all-in for 10 races.

i'd want to keep the car road legal so couldn't be too hardcore. already have harness but not sure if it's fia approved so would buy new there. mmmm i wonder if anyone wants to sponsor me for next season

Big thank you for the replies - great to get positive feed back

I sometimes think about changing for a Type R, but something about the RAs is very addictive.

A great deal of time and money has been spent on the car, the money of course will never be recouped. Sold my last 4 Imprezas just as they were "sorted", so must keep this one.

She is going to API next week for a TD05 20g turbo, API injectors, fuel pressure regulator and APEXI remap*.

Don't think I will change much cosmetically, *but one is always after more va va voom

Can never get over how low your car looks Richard compared to mine:


Can I ask a favour of you?
Can you measure from the front wing apex of the arch to the floor please?

this is mine, only just recently got it, but have to say im very impressed just want to change the wheels and the morettes as I prefer the standard look.

james

Thanks Richard, mine is 620mm!

The 20g will make it shift, you really will feel the change, I love mine.
Why not go for a M321 other than the ££££ difference?

Graham

RESSE

iTrader: (1)

Lovely Impreza - agree with changing the wheels (darker colours, I think, best suit the white cars)?

David at API has a 20g available from a customer's car (only a couple of hundred miles on it) and for my current budget, I think it will be the best option.

Limiting factor (as ever) is £££££.

nice looking ra. what size are your wheels? i need some bigger ones and have a set of standard 16" on mine.

APIDavid

iTrader: (4)

321H would be a good choice but is rather dearer than the 20G we are talking about. 321T would be laggy in your circumstances, unless l can sell a 2.35 rebuild to go with it

David APi

iTrader: (1)

David 2.35 would be fine - but Wife would need to know why this was needed.

Women - just don't understand BHP

PS When I collect the car can you have the invoice ready for me. Better half thinks the STI is going to you for an oil and filter change
