a new year looms so a new year of upgrades for many people,what have you got planned for your scoob or if you havent got a scoob (why the **** not ) what have you got and what are your plans?

i have a blob wrx in superb condition and the plan was to take it to around 330 ish bhp due to the car only having the weak 5 speed,it has an sti engine but the gearbox was always gonna hold it back but plans have now changed,i have been speaking to a well known tuner who has persuaded me to go for a non-dccd 6 speed set up so thats the route im gonna take i think as i dont think i will be happy with just 330 bhp so i think its better to build the car ready to take high bhp safe in the knowledge that it can handle it,its running porsche 6 pots so the brakes are up to the task of reeling it in

engine wise i was gonna do

-vf35
-pinks
-3 port
-rcm fuel pump
-tgv deletes
-sti up-pipe

but now im gonna have to look into different turbos and injectors for higher bhp and possibly a front mount aswell,i would be happy with around 380bhp

anybody give me an idea on a good turbo, would like early-ish spool and plenty of mid-range grunt

other than that i want an sti interior and a set of coilovers and maybe if funds allow some larger rear brakes

gonna be an expensive year for me

 

I might actually DOWNgrade mine to run on 95.
Higher octane fuel is rare here, no Shell garages and Tesco often run out when I'm running on fumes.

I don't hold with octane boosters, I'm not convinced about them.
Plus the French are phasing out 98 octane fuel, so it would no longer be able to go to France.......

 

cant you run a switchable map?

 

Only got the car (03 STI PPP) in September but the plan is:

New brakes - grooved discs, pads, upgraded fluid and braided lines
Pro-R air filter
Big 90k service
Front splitter
Zunsport/Prodrive style grills

Nothing really to blow you away but it's a start.

I think i'm going to get it on the Dyno at some point too and price up a remap.

 

Iv got a 2001 bug and all my 2013 mods are exterior!
.get the alloys refurbed and resprayed
.fog light covers
.front splitter
.front grille
.rear mini spoiler
.boot delocked
.possibly a scooby doo badge lol
And maybe a k&n air induction kit

 

does your car not have a splitter as standard?

ive just seen this which i really like,never been a fan of bodykits really but this looks good i think

Those side skirts are gash, i had them on a classic and in the light of day they are too square for the car if you get me lol.

 

the sideskirts i could do without but im liking that front bumper

 

Yea it's nice, I like things like that but most hate them (boring sheep) lol

 

Tax & Insurance is out at end of year on my UK yr2000 Turbo, so plans for Jan/Feb are:

Kevlar Pads
Braided brake hoses
2 pot rear conversion
New age intercooler
Paint inlet;
refitting with spacers & maybe parallel rails
Catch can
Re-Map
& and maybe TD05

Main reason for inlet mods is because I bought a S**t silicone inlet hose & going back to std pipe so I may as well do those whilst inlet is off !

Oh, & rear arches...

 

My plans are really simple .

Get rid of it , and save some money

 

I have sunspot upper and lower grills for sale like new not been on car long PM if interested
Cheers Ryan

 

I have some sti headers off my 2005 blob sti
Let me know if interested pm me
Cheers

 

No not as standard, it's just had the performance pack so it doesn't have the prodrive style accesories.

Not a fan of those style of body kits, a little too boy racer for my liking.

 

Rip the broken engine out of the P1 and slot in the forged 2.1 with a set of 900cc injectors, md321T. Install Alkatec and map for 20% methanol

 

Nope, got one of the early LINK ecu's in mine.

And no spare dosh to change it......

 

650+bhp build started already.

 

If I decide to keep the car I will get all the parts fitted that I have sitting in the garage-

Harvey headers and uppipe
Adjustable front droplinks
Powder coated Arb
Refurbed inlet manifold
Powder coated header tank

I would also look for a decent 18G, injectors and a nice new inlet pipe

 

i plan to sell mine

i want either a twin scroll hatch if i can find one or a gt-r on 100 year finance

 

Finish it and drive it.

 

I want to get 400-420 BHP (360 at the moment)
FPR, 800cc or similar remap but keeping the TMIC.

 

Are you building this one yourself again Rob?

 

Duncan will be remapping my car at some point. That's it (for now). Spent a fortune this year :-/

 

I'm putting mine back to standard.....

 

Had the blob a week now it has 3 inch decat and remap,plans for the new year -
Bc coilovers
defi gauges
carbon spoiler
carbon scoop
decat downpipe
walbro fuel pump

anyone advise me on what i need for 380 - 400bhp?
Andy carr will be mapping it.

 

If I keep mine (depending on the increase in parts prices now Subaru have pulled out the UK), I'll possibly sort the rear arch rust issues after I've had this hesitation issue sorted. A day out at Scoobyclinic is in order for this.

Not modding it power wise any more. 110k on her at 13 years old running over 300lbft through a UK box.

 

respray & ap's for me

 

My plans are to go steady with my Spec D as I fear a chocolate skirt / HG / ring lol.

 

I hoping to get a sticker kit, like yours Dave!

 

Hopefully get it finished...

VF34
TGV Deletes
STI pinks
Finish the ABS and Aircon delete
New braided hoses
New red silicon hoses
Finish painting some of the underpinnings
Plasti-dip the last bits of the interior and refit the gauges to the a-pillar
PSI3 to the dash top.
Blob WRX speedo to fit
Strip excess wiring out

Remap

Possible mods:

Alloy rad
HSD coilovers
17" alloys with track tyres
