Couldn't take a few steps back to take a pic of the whole car? 
Who here owns a Subaru?

Yay finally!
Meth runs cooler, allowing more ignition meaning more power.
20% is a very easy mix IMO. 5 litre jerry can + 20litres fuel = 25 litres with a 20% mix of meth. 10 litre jerry can + 40litres fuel = 50 litres (or full tank from the fuel light) with a 20% meth mix.
You want the long 3" downpipe. This replaces the downpipe and first centre section cat. Then you will just need to have the 2.5" end of the Nur Spec R centre section cut off and welded with a 3" section and flange.
PS the Nur Spec R is actually slightly larger than 3", it's like 3 1/4". No one seems to make that size pipe though.
Hope that helps
urm... Depends really. Cheap cheap stuff avoid, but yeah most are alright these days. Keep away from Toyo stuff.
Cheers dude. Much appreciated. You are more than welcome to come out with me one day
Drumroll please...
I'm now the proud owner of a 1 owner, low mile, immaculate black 2005 Blob STI. Bought locally within an hour of advert going live. Cant believe all the waiting and travelling then one comes up in 7 mile!
Its completely standard barring the PPP. I have a little money left over so would like sone suggestions on how best to spend it on her. The wise move is a good service and cambelt. Definitely buying a HT Autos front lip tomorrow.
Ideally would like a HKS SSQV and exhaust but budget might not stretch. Kosta/Gurdas I know you may have these up for grabs so any ideas on what price you would like? Guess a new panel filter would be wise too.
Im afraid the standard gold wheels and suspension will have to wait, cant do it all at once.
I must say, the blob power delivery is much better than the hawk. Really pleased Im now part of the fraternity
Will get some pics up later, on phone at the monent. Gurdas, without being a stalker can you upload some photos of yours for inspiration please?
Any other suggestions?
Get in!! Good man
Yup I got my SSQV still if you want it. Drop me a message to kostandinokustasATgooglemailDOTcom
lol. First things first. Full service. Get everything done. Spark plugs, good panel filter, fuel filter, gearbox and diff oil, engine oil, cambelt etc. Hell even get the oil pump uprated whilst getting the belt done. Then you have a base to proceed
Gurdas.... Your car looks hot. I need to get 18s me thinks, I always said I wouldn't unless I get bigger brakes though... They look so much better though
You mean fuel pump? Walbro is one of the preferred. 255 is the one to have.
Oil pump is something to do when doing the cambelt. They have been known to fail in the past so getting someone like API to fit an uprated on whilst the cambelt is being done is well worth the security IMO.
You may be able to source an up pipe on Scoobynet or similar, but you may struggle now
I would say speak to your local Subaru specialist about porting the standard manifold. Loads of places do it, Harvey just pioneered in doing it right

Definitely a bargain!
Decent panel filter if you haven't done so already? Other than that, sounds bang on.. identical to mine except for the RCM induction kit I have

K&N is always a good shout. Stick with the panel filter for noe, I swapped for the noise. No more benefit than that at this power level.
What decent oil can you guys recommend for my GX? Helped my mate do an oil change on his Classic and he put in 10w-60 or something like that.
Would 5w-30 fully synthetic be sufficient? I'm running a manifold/decat/think 2.5" pipe to back box.
10w-40 is a good balance.
id love to try and get one of these, but not sure the prices of these at all
i doubt i could afford one next year, but maybe the following year
out of interest what sort of money are 2002/3 wrx's these days ? low mileage, i dont like buying a car with 100K on the clock
failing that, a normal one without the turbo?
You can get a lot of Subaru for sub £5k these days....
Fully Syn? Or Semi?
Shiwarrior if you do buy a Scoob please do not get one without a turbo. It really lacks punch.
03/53 Blobeyes are around the £3k-ish mark for a WRX. Bugeyes are down around 2k/2.5k. I seen one with 77k on the clock which is quite nice for £2k.
Honestly, it really isn't going to make much difference on a non turbo, so either or chap
Seems expensive if I'm honest.
Where/how you managing to get one?

So wait... hang on, have you managed to get a response from her? Where have you found this? I need to get my stuff back and if she is sorting his stock then she can send me my stuff back? But yeah worth getting.
Ouch, just been calling around for a cambelt/tensioner - Subaru have just quoted me £500 or £900 inc. a full service.
Posted a message on the local owners club for some local suggestions. Anyone care to give me some benchmarking on price so I know I'm not being raped?
You are being raped by going to a main dealer yes
Find a local Subaru specialist.Rough idea:

Cheers, when did you send her the PM? I'm wondering as she should have plenty of emails between Harvey and me, even when he was sick yet I never heard a word back from her...
Cool, I shall drop her another PM then.
Thanks
Thanks
Did she message you back this evening then?
I've had nothing
Shiwarrior there's plenty of new age WRXs in that money range. Not the best mind you, but still decent. Subaru values have really fallen for WRX models as everyone wants the bargain STi so WRX prices must reflect this.

Usual places. They do still have dreamers wanting £5k for their bugeye WRX..
Cobra Sport is good stuff, I have their track system. Find out if Harvey's downpipe is the long or short one and you should be good to go
That's where Harvey worked
Not bad at all chap. Your car will sound nearly identical to mine !
I personally would wrap the downpipe as well. Headers are more important I agree, but every little helps when it comes to stopping the top mount getting warmer!

Gurdas and I will have to meet up once he's all exhaust and mapped up and make a video of 2 Nur Spec R equipped STis!
You'll be fine without
You put Nur Spec in the title and you simply get views lol
