Bit of an update, made an aluminium heatshield for the the intake to the bodies last week. Just got to weld in a second lambda boss for the tuner to use and I'm all ready for my mapping session next week.      I also have a trackday booked for June now to test all this stuff out so fingers crossed it will all perform well. It's an airfield trackday so plenty of runoff if my ambition manages to exceed my talent at any point  ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

That's an awesome job! If i were you i'd keep all the measurements/drawings for the cutting on that intake plate - looks a proper job. ________________________________________ Team Ducati 7482003 Subaru Impreza STi |

FINALLY! My colovers have arrived, (Minus the specially wound 420lbs springs I had made because they cocked up and sold them to someone else!  )but at least they are here, they fit the topmounts and I can go ahead and fit them this Saturday Just got to get them dialled in ready for FCS. Not sure how low to go with the front, I'm currently running a 30mm drop and was thinking of taking it down another 5-10mm, any thoughts as to wether or not this is likely to be beneficial?________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

Want me to give him a kick in the bo***cks? Apparently it's not him but his supplier, but I'm going to suggest that he lets me keep the 300lbs springs that came by mistake for free by way of compensation. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

My topmounts have now been drilled, tapped and installed in their correct positions, enabling me to fit my re-engineered coilovers to the car. Even with a fair ammount of compression of the springs the ride height is lower than I expected but now I've driven it I think thats how it's going to stay Turn in is now much better and front end grip is now to the point that you dont need to lift to get oversteer, just give the wheel a bit more of a tug when cornering hard and it brings the back end into play very nicely It will take a while to get the damper settings dialled in fully (front and rear) but I have tracktime booked in June so that should provide plenty of opportunity for experimentation. I have a feeling though that I'm going to be wanting the negative camber trailing arm setup though to help restore a little more balance as the front seems to have a little too much grip now compared to the rear. I'm currently on the 300lbs springs that came with the shocks, and I have yet to recieve the 450lbs that I was recommended to use (due to the fact I'm running the 30mm AR however I have a feeling that the 300lbs ones will be more than up to the job as the car seems to corner flat and level already, the 450's may be that little bit too harsh.First impressions of the Gaz kit are that is's a quality setup that will work well on road and track. I have the rolling road/Mapping session on Tuesday, then I'll be looking forward to giving the car it's first track outing since it went out as a practically standard car at Brands 18 months ago! I'm expecting it to be quite different to say the least! ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies. I sell new and used welding equipment in the Hampshire area.

They are more like more castor, but that translates into negative camber when the steering turns.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.
