Loving this footage of me on the different tracks this year filmed by a pro. Check out the slowmo sideways moment

It is great fun. Was supposed to be doing Teeside tomorrow but decided 4 rounds of the sprint series was enough for my first year! So instead got the tweaks to do and have it mapped again.

Next year will be front mount.. if I don't sell it

Did 200 miles in mine and somehow managed 32mpg which massively surprised me!

is this just a dodgy copy of a Tactrix or just another brand?

Is there honestly a better sounding 4-pot, absolutely love this car hands down the best I've had for many reasons but most of all that absolutely perfect growl and burble

F20C?

Good quality video, I've messaged that guy about doing a video of my car, like a city drive kind of thing.

Practically the same I'd have thought. EvoScan is a nice piece of software too.. Don't quote me on that though.

Cool. His work is high quality. Really enjoy watching his videos, well edited, great quality sound and video!

Ok so my rear driver side tyre has a puncture which is great timing as the tyres need changing anyway! I think I'm going to go for Eagle F1 AS2s but wanted your opinions...

Currently have 225 width tyres which will come out at £129 per tyre or I could get wider at 235 but work out £161 each tyre. Is the extra width worth spending an extra £120?

sovietspybob · 31 Oct 2013 at 09:08

I wouldn't bother personally, i've run 225 and 235 track tyres and couldn't tell any difference.

The Goodyears are meant to be a cracking tyre, a guy i know with a spec C hawkeye has them on some 18's and thinks they're ace, i've currently got Bridgestone RE50A's on the front and 001's on the back as i've always liked Bridgestones.

ironman · 31 Oct 2013 at 09:42

That's interesting to know, might stick with 225 then if it's not really worth it, the extra £120 I save could go to some handling mods which will make more of a difference.

KiNgPiN83 · 31 Oct 2013 at 12:10

So... I was thinking about fitting some mudflaps. (I know my no mod idea has failed after a mere two months but meh.

)

I've been looking at these: http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=199_353_355&products_id=2630

Blue with Pink STi decals. Are these ok? Can anyone recommend anything else? Will I have trouble fitting these to a 10 year old car that will do doubt have crud in the fixing holes on the car?

Cheers

ironman · 31 Oct 2013 at 12:19

I bought the same ones, not fitted them yet but it shouldn't be a problem.

Also just ordered 4x F1 AS2s in 225/40/18 for £413 inc delivery which I think is pretty reasonable!

Camskill? I found cam skill to have the best prices for tyres.

ScoobyDoo69 · 31 Oct 2013 at 16:15

ScoobyWorld mudflaps are generally very good. Get them fitted

I run 225/45/17 on the road, 235/45/17 on track.

KiNgPiN83 · 2 Nov 2013 at 17:35

Excellent. I have purchased them and await their delivery...

I have another question. Is this rubber seal important in the wheel arch important? Should I buy a replacement or just whip it off? If I need a replacement, where do I get one?

See below:

Sorry, double post...

Not overly, I removed mine as I have big offset 18s. To be rolled soon too anyway.

It is an openport 1.3u which is exactly the same device as the tactrix 1.3, it only works up to 2006 Subarus where the 2.0 has later compatibility and a micro sd slot.
