not sure how to do pic yet lol

 

I would do something with the brakes very soon as the 2 pots cant stop a pram let alone a scoob

Tony

 

ok why would you say that lol

 

Because the 2 pots are really crap and they are standard on the 94 wrx (no mention of being upgraded and no, they wont stop a pram )
Scary when a 1.8ltr ford mondeo outbrakes you

Tony

 

sorry new to this whats 2 pots mean ? and what would you recommend cheers i also need to know about getting the original gauges working as the computer one has bypassed it or should i leave it alone. the guy said i can turn it up and down

 

2 pots means 2 pistons in the brake caliper that pushes the pads onto the disc when you brake.a good upgrade is the later 4 pot brembo's.but if you have just bought the car and you are ok with the setup it has for now then just enjoy it.

 

o right i see i will get to know it first then have a look later on . not really a speed demon just like to know got the power there just incase i get mad hahaha hilbilies on the road

 

Unless you've got a front mount intercooler then there is no way you will see 340 bhp.
If your still using the standard top mount intercooler then you'll be lucky to get 290 bhp.

 

yeah i agree,unless there are far more mods that the op has not listed then ill be shocked if he has graphs to prove 340 bhp. i would expect it to be running somewhere in the region of 280-300/280-300 ish. more likely to be closer to the 280 i would have thought.

 

As already stated above, you really need to upgrade your front brakes.
You can get some 4 pot brakes from a later model from the For Sale section.

Presumably the car already has a different ECU since JGM has mapped it, so thats one of the main thing that you dont need to buy.

To be honest once you've got your brakes sorted out then your best off sorting the suspension with at least some Eibach springs.

 

I've actually got some 4 pot front brakes for sale (from an 04 WRX) but will need to get new pads, but dont want much for them.
If your interested then PM me.
