Subaru mods

[beachsleeper]

Ok guys If you met a new subaru owner and he asked you. What mods should I Do?
I would say Decat First.

[Agent Smith]

sell the house

[tiny]

Mudflaps

[Neil G]

I would say decent panel filter first but that's just me being difficult

[Agent Smith]

it is diffiult to know where to start, more power or handling.

droplinks are a good 1st mod, ask Tiny.

[beachsleeper]

I like droplinks. What about anti lift kit?

[Welshy]

My 04 Sti is engine standard and I am considering modifications or changing for a new Type C or Series 204. What would you do

[Agent Smith]

modify, but I am biased.

anti-lift kit is good aswell.

[Welshy]

Modifications are O.K. and I like the sound of them, however the new cars with different turbos are said to be 320bhp out of the box.

[Agent Smith]

still not enough.

the jdm models are more powerful than the uk spec

have a look here http://www.litimports.co.uk/subaru.asp#

A new 320 bhp scoob should almost keep up with a 280 bhp classic... Power to weight....:hysterical: :hysterical:

[Welshy]

I was thinking of a private jap spec import. Subaru Japan show the new series 204 with special recaro interior and high torque plus the spec C.
Modifications dont always add value

[Welshy]

Come on guys it not just about the car, keeping up does require driving skills.

[Agent Smith]

the s204 is very nice

[Welshy]

Yes the S204 is nice and when you think about it who else has one?

[Agent Smith]

Petter by any chance???????????

[Welshy]

Petter by any chance???????????
Good point, but he dont live near me.

The cost of good mods for this car will be more than the car is worth... Once the mods are on the car the car is worth no more than it was standard.
I think modding cars are for personal preferances. If you keep the car like it then spend what you like on it but don't expect to recuperate the money spent.
I know I have spent over £20,000 on mine and its still only worth 13-14,000

[Agent Smith]

but what a rush when you plant it.

[beachsleeper]

but what a rush when you plant it.
That is the fun bit :eek: :eek:

[Agent Smith]

need more power scotty

but the dilithyum crystals cant take it captain.

[bob]

So if you want to spend the money the mods are...

Decat
Fuel Pump
TD05/6 turbo 18g
550 injectors
Mapping to suit.
There you go 350 bhp....:hysterical:

[Agent Smith]

headers & many many more.

[bob]

headers & many many more.

I got extra torque from the headers about 30ft/lbs BHP stayed about the same. But then torque is what you want...:party0040:

[Agent Smith]

30 ft/lbs, what headers do you have?

[Olly P]

I think what Bob means is that, with the addition of his headers, they were able to map another 30lb/ft into the car.
You couldn't whack some headers on a standard car and expect the same results.
The downside to it is the torque moves higher up in the rev range.
I still have the standard headers and I would suspect my torque comes in sooner than Bob's which makes for a more flexible car.
However this is really a small thing. It would be alot more noticable on a 2.0 litre but we run 2.5's which are supremely flexible in the first place.:wink:

[Agent Smith]

stop giving me ideas.

[Olly P]

Ooops sorry:scared0018:
But if you want to be convinced of the 2.5 I would be happy to sway you in that direction.:biggrin:

[Agent Smith]

happy with the 2.0 ltr for now, can still get more out of it & then when it goes bang....................

[beachsleeper]

Big brakes

[The Daddy]

if you are on the race track, you will gain more time by uprating brakes and handleing........even with a decent set of discs and pads hoses and a laser allign/4 wheel set up you would transform your car.......being quick isnt allways power related.........

Good point....and that's why I always laugh at ************s I know who spend all their money on power with cars like escort RS turbos and old fiestas that won't go round corners properly:hysterical:

Good brakes and suspension can really make a difference on the 'limit' of a car.

[The Daddy]

and thats how i ****ed an astra gsi in my 1300 mini!!!

[Olly P]

That must of hurt:eek: :hysterical:

[Edmondo]

might be able to manage a quarter mile in say ............ooooohhhhhh









A minute:hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical:

[Olly P]

I'll go for 1m 05s (have to look after my gearbox you see):biggrin:

[Edmondo]

I think its too late for my Gearbox and Clutch - go out in style - 1 whole minute:hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical:

[Olly P]

Thats really pushing it Ed, will you need special fuel?:hysterical:

[Edmondo]

I reckon 99Ron plus a couple of bottles of Octane Booster as well - and was thinking of converting to NOS:hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical:
