hi all, got abit of birthday money knocking about, around £250 so im after some opinions on what i should buy for the car, what ideas do people have please..

no stupid suggestions thanks, lets try and keep it as a genuine request for us enthusiasts

 

ARB, ALK & Geom.

 

How about a roof flap?

 

What about a good sounding back box

 

well 3 posts it lasted

 

is this do-able with my budget

 

HKS SSQV

 

already got a forge vta (which i may remove)

 

Hows anyone going to take you seriously with an avatar like that.

 

exhaust

 

After a look at the spec....

I'd suggest a Whiteline adjustable 22/24mm rear ARB and drop-links.

Best value mod on my car, kills body roll and understeer is massively reduced.

IMHO

Did you not read this bit?

keep it just incase u dont like the nurspec.

 

STi bonnet scoop and under tray, and still have change for a full tank of petrol

 

Agree with dunx, rear 24mm arb,links and alk if you have any pennies left.

 

Just about. Might have to source the ARB 2nd hand. Think it's about £85 for the ARB, £100 for the ALK and Geom about £60-ish.

 

im liking the suspension mods idea... which is the best arb 22mm or 24mm

 

If you go for the 24mm, you will have the same anti roll rate on middle setting as the 22mm is on hardest setting. If you are a smooth driver you can then try the 24mm on hardest setting, as much oversteer as you like...

 

so a 24mm on the middle setting would be sufficiant

not intending to track the car

 

Sorting the suspension is better than a power upgrade.

 

Yep either brakes or suspension mate

 

Agree with this mate, also if you want to use your cash and treat the car have you considered a driver training day, I did one last year with andy walsh can't remember the name of the company I will dig it out, the day was around your budget and I learnt and gained more from that then any other mod I have ever bought. Two birds one stone treat you and the car,

So my vote goes either suspension or training day think then second would win if it were me

 

I had the geo done on my 2006 STI and it cost £80 for cash, having a Whiteline 22mm rear ARB fitted Tuesday which was £125.00 and £30.00 for fitting just having the geo done made a big improvement so with the ARB I'm hoping for more, seems a good value mod to me

 

let me know mate how you get on, seems like it could be my next mod (maybe)

 

will do mate
I use my car as a everyday work horse and weekend fun but never track. So I don't think the 24mm is necessary bit over the top if you ask me.

 

Nah ! with your DCCD in auto you will struggle to get the rear out with a 24. The reduced body roll is very nice though. I run my 25 rear bar on 27 hard, and it's good as gold in auto.

 

Hard core you know the score

 

I have both front a rear whiteline ARB's + ALK for sale at the mo pm if you want more info

Back again !

On my STI a 22mm bar on "stiff" is perfect, the car is planted, but it does oversteer on track as you push the car way harder than on the road.

KojaK has one on his mostly std. WRX and has it on the middle setting as he found his car oversteered too easily on the "stiff" setting.

HTH

P.S. Both bug-eyes.

 

cheers dunx, im opting for the 22mm on middle setting i think
