going south up the eastern road Portsmouth this morning at about 07:30.
If you are on here, I hope it is still going well and a quick example as always for a Cup. Enjoy......I know I did ..........
We are unable to advise on the content of Shell Optimax, however I can confirm that our 99 octane unleaded petrol has a minimum RON of 99 and a MON of 87. It exceeds the British Standard Specifications for BS7800 - superunleaded fuel, and BSEN228 premium unleaded. It contains a high level of a...
Subaru Impreza WRX STI (soon to be prodrived too) Well what can I say, feels and drives fantastic. Its a pain only going to 4000rpm as it has just started to go for it and im having to up shift. 290miles so far another 710 to go then unleash the beast !
Well recommended to all of you, go...
After 2 years and 3 months of ownership the replacement rocket has been ordered. Ive gone for the Subaru Impreza WRX STI and getting it prodrived too. So if anyone wants a cheap CUP in Hampshire:-
52 plate (Dec)
23700 miles
Ktec zorst
Hill Power Air intake pipe
Quick Shift gear stick...
Sell the CUP and get a new Scooby WRX STI with the Prodrive kit. Over 300 BHP and sub 5 secs to 60 and around 13 to 100MPH. I could possibly afford to go for brand new in about 3 months. Ive finished looking through my shopping list of cars and this is the only one left.
I was at Thruxton on Sunday and when I came back to my car, after the racing, someone had nicked one (yes one) of my lovely blue annodised valve caps............What are these type of people on ? I ask you.
had it fitted yesterday at Ktec- brill mod, go get it done. They use the B&M unit which is one of the best available.
Very positive gear change with greatly reduced travel between gears.
Told them about my Exhast replacement and they loaded £57 p/a on it. When I call last year they said it would be £25. Piss*d off to say the least.
Anyone got contact details for good but cheap insurance Cos ?
Love it already. Looks mint (Twin 3") and is just starting to settle down now. Lovely round town and a bit of a roar down the motorway.
On the trip home is was very loud but when I went out the next day it had quietened down a bit, must have sealed at the joints etc.
Performance is mildy...
how easy are these to fit on the 172 engine. Looks like you have to take the engine apart to get to the plugs (slight exageration) and do I need an gaskets etc ?
Going to Ktec on Saturday to get my Exhaust fitted. Going for the Stainless Steel K2 tailpipe. I look forward to waking the neighbours up Sunday morning.
How much (mm) can I drop a Cup without having to fit camber bolts ?
My only concern is that of tyre wear on the edges as GSD2s arent that cheap and they are the ones I prefer now. The Cup / 172 is hungry enough on front tyres as it is without adding the additional wear of excessive camber.
Fitted my Hill Power Air intake pipe today. eveyone go and buy one (do I get commission Nick ?)
Gone out for a good blast and it definately helps the engine use my Green Air filter to its full potential.
1st is as uncontrolable as usual, 2nd gear seems better, 3rd pulls much better on the...
Just ordered the Silicone Air feed pipe (Nick Hill) between the Throttle body and the Air box to get a bit more air in. Standard pipe reduces to about 63mm and this one stays at 70mm all the way. This should help with my Green replacement filter breathing. Next stop is to fit the following:-...
I want to fit uprated shocks and spring to my Cup but I dont wants it lowered that much. Most of the kits I see are 35+ mm drop. I only want to drop about 25mm without having to use Coilovers. Anyone got any ideas as to where I might find some, Oh yes I want adjustable shocks (top for front...
Ordered the latest Goodyear Eagle f1s in the week and had them fitted this morning. Noticed when I got home that they say GS-D2 on the side wall and not GS-D3 that everone has metioned on here. Are they rubbish and if so I have wasted £169-50 and are they still better the the Contis that I...
I am thinking of changing all 4 corners to get rid of the squeak from the front shocks.
Any advise as to what is best on the cup and how much they cost and time taken to fit ?
I may get Reno to fit them at 12k service if it not too big a job. Otherwise I will do them in the spring when it...
please see my post today on ALL CUP OWNERS :-
RE: - Bake limit Valve (Copy of post)
Mike172 sport - If you are the chap that worked on my cup the last couple of times I have asked to see you but you were not in on the couple of days I popped in. Just wanted to thank you for sorting out my...
They fixed it yesterday and it feels very different. You can now feel the weight transfer to the front wheels when braking. Feels much more secure now that the rear brakes are not braking 50/50 with the fronts.
Your right sir, its not the dash its the centre section of your exhaust. We will order it in for you and do it on a saturday morning and book you a loan car so you can pick it up later that day.
What happend there ?
(a very puzzled Cup owner)
Where did you get your TBs done ?
What else did they have to do to get it to run right ?
How much for the full job ?
What is the increase in torque ?
How long did it take ?
was it worth it, in your opinion ?
RR or 1/4 mile figures yet ?
Picked car up from reno last week and it now has a very annoying buzz from 3.9k to 4.1k (rpm) in every gear. Took the Service Manager out for a drive and he said it was the dashboard. I got the wife to have a listen and she says it is central and sounds like it is comming from under the stereo...
Anyone got the phone number for R Sport please ?
I am going to ask them why they do not do serial programming and if they are developing it.
Also need it so I can possibly order the ECU soon if the above is not being developed.
