Welcome fella, what BMW's have you had? Had a couple in the past myself, J reg 525i when I was 18 which I abused everytime I drove it and it never let me down loved that car! Also had an M reg 328i which was great to drive, just a shame for a 2.8 they didn't have a bit more power.

Welcome, the weak link on a WRX is the gearbox which limits you to around 350/380.

Basic stages are engine:
  1. Exhaust (de/sports cat) turbo back, de-cat up-pipe, fuel pump (225), air filter (K&N/Green/Cosworth), remap should see you at 270/80.
  2. Injectors (STI pinks) and turbo swap (VF34/35) Sti top mount, scoop and under tray should give you around 350/380

Suspension:
  1. White line arbs and droplinks
  2. Anti lift kit & Eibach springs
  3. KGB shocks (adjustable)
  4. Coilovers (BC or similar)

Brakes:
  1. Up rated disks and pads (AS Performance)
  2. Sti Brembos
  3. Ksports!

How do

Steve_PPP 10-06-2012 10:26 PM

Welcome to SES :wave:

What are your plans for the car? Do you just want more power or interested in sorting the handling/brakes first for some track days? Once you've decided that, then there's plenty of options :nod:

At the moment I'm after more power also I've been told the gear boxes on these ain't that good is there a different box I can put in it

The 5 spd wrx gearbox is generally ok up to around 350bhp max, 6 spds will take a lot more power but conversion can cost £1500-£2000.

In reality, i'd stick with the 5 spd for now, pushing beyond 350bhp with standard engine internals on a wrx is asking for trouble anyway imo. Most people seem to get to 320-330bhp reliably with injectors, fuel pump, decat exhaust, vf35 and remap.
