My 2005 sti
 

Thought I'd post the progress I have made since I bought my car in March 2008 with 22k on the clock...
Bought with the PPP, A vortex catted exhaust, K&N intake and a supposed remap as this

I then changed the wheels to prodrive pff7's off ebay and added prodrive springs again off ebay and a front spoiler to this

Then the modding bug took over and I whisked it off to James Greenwood for a new aps sr40 turbo, decatted 3'' milltek, ported headers, anti lift kit, remap, front and rear arbs 22/24mm, rear strut brace

The car has stayed looking the same but this March I added gt headers, 650 inj's and new fuel pump...with a road remap with JGM is now 405bhp and 380lb torque

and most recently Granby's old aps 725 fmic and intake fitted as seen on another thread

awaiting the remap in a couple of weeks and got to trim the bumper a tad as well so hoping for arounf 410-415 hp...happy for now if it gets this...
although have been in contact with engine tuner in plymouth recently so watch this space next year!;-)

Other plans for next years ring trip will be tein or bc coilovers (where does it ever end!?):whistle:

It doesn't does it!

Cars looking great mate :10: those PF discs look so shiny too :D

Very nice indeed.:10:
Roll on the ring next year.
Hey i might even get to drive:whistle:

Lovely!! Just needs a moustache on the front!

:SMBLU:

Cracking job Tim :10:

When you off to SRR? I am pencilled in for the 24th, thats if Dave gets back onto the scooby in time?

Such a nice car tim, I've had the pleasure of being either in front of it or behind it over quite a few miles now on various trips, and as I said to you at Goodwood, it is one of the nicest Blob STi's i've seen. Some really nice mods too, and I completely blame you when I talk to my wife about spending more on my car!! :lol: Lets hope you never get to meet her :sos:

24th as well Steve...simon has suggested 3pm for me but if you are on the rollers then I will convoy up if you want...let me know.

Thats why I have a seperate back account and never moan when her indoors buys some stupid expensive handbag/makeup crap....priorities I say!

Looking Good Tim, did you put the pulley's on yourself ?

Thinking of getting some for mine and can't decide whether to do it myself or get them done in conjunction with a cam belt.

I can only do the basics Scott so got a friend to do them as part of a Cambelt service.
At some point in my life I might do a mechanics course when i get 5 mins

I'd be up for that if you ever look into it.:ok:

Cars a credit to you mate :)

What you need is a MD321 T ;)

what I need is a 2.1 with a gt30!

2.1 GT35R it is then

Those GT headers are lush!! Bloody nice car. Starting my engine mods next year. Letting the wallet cool down first. :-P

If your going to Engine Tuner, ask em' about the Turbo Technics S206 (500BHP) and S215 (550BHP).
http://bbs.scoobynet.com/770002-late...-turbo-11.html

The 206 gets quite good reviews, but requires a bespoke downpipe (additional £185)

They are also bringing out a smaller version (400BHP) with stock fitting

I did hear about that turbo... Yep very nice.

I don't think it's twin scroll as it doesn't require any up-pipe mods, but it is supposed to spool well and be very responsive.

let you know what billet 30 does next month or more to the point you can have ago if you like tim as it'll only be getting mapped on the day before the training day lol

Theres alot of good turbos about now without the expense of going twisted Tim :ok:

Very nice Tim a good looking Sti with some quality parts. :ok:

thanks for the nice comments peeps:five:

about time the front mount was done mate now go to 500 bhp

A lovely looking scoob. Swap??!

Really liking your car mate- would love to get a set of prodrive wheels for mine but they are so expensive lol and second hand sets are so rare these days.

I might be able to tempt you with mine if my plan comes to fruition

They wont fit... Wrong pcd ;)

I got a set today :)

what prodrives or Speedlines?

Tell me about the Prodrives, I got mine from Revolution when they had all the old stock going 'cheap' trashed the face of one getting the car on the trailer so am on the hunt for a good second hand one in Bright Flitter as I can't find anybody to refurbish the one and match the paint!

Mate how did that happen??:kicknuts:

There must be a firm that can refurb the rim for you.

Try: http://www.lepsons.com/

Personally I wouldnt recommend spit & polish of Tonbridge.

I have got a spare rim with rubber but obviously its the WR1 pewter your can borrow.

Plans to change your wheels then mate?

yes steve, out with the gold like you!

gunmetal on blue looks great doesn't it ;)

Give lifestyele a call Nick, they have one in the window still.

pick new wheels up next sunday in time for japbash and rolling road on the 24th. Run out of money again...doh.

Is this a trick question... they have speedline and prodrive on them ;)

trimmed my bumper to allow more cool air in...

Looking Goooooooooooooood:five:

thats better :doubleup:

forgot to add photo of intake in wing behind cover...massive filter!
http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/p...i/P1010022.jpg
I have removed part of the opening to the fog cover to allow a bit more air in but hopefully no water will get in.

Srr tomorrow!

My internets been down last 12 hours so a delay in posting up yesterday rr result.
404.4 which I was a little disappointed by but Simon thinks that the figures on the road a few months back possibly weren't as good back then as now.
Either way when it comes on boost now it goes better which is what I wanted. At least i can give it some beans now!
Limiting factor is my turbo....now thinking of maybe MD321T or just leave it and wait for the s206 and 2.1 next year.
I'll post a graph up when i get a chance.

There were some nice classics there as well...one guy from leicester in a track prepped RA hit 415/415 with a KKK turbo off a 911! Brilliant.

I'll be selling my T soonish

Pm me what you are after and how many miles its done m8

Be interesting to see what mine makes when it's finally finished - but will still be on pinks for now as well as the SR40 - I think I may get to 400 ish but with more torque and faster spool.

Main thing is how the car feels, and if it feels better/quicker, then job done. It certainly seemed quick enough as it was! Out of interest, what was the torque figure tim?.

A bit down steve at 350...less than yours! But it does feel quicker now and makes lots of new noises when changing gear...I like it. I'll bring my graph down on staurday for you to look at.
Its got the new wheels fitted as well now....sweeet!

:wless:

You'll have to wait till Saturday Ian!

Spoil sport.:nod::lol:

Lovely car with great power.

Would love my front mount to look like that
