Wrx Sti Type R V5

good to see it did exactly what its designed to do Ben.....................

as for brakes whilst we cant compete with some of those prices on cost alone (i refuse to do a lot of the el cheapo stuff due to variable quality controls) we do offer some very high quality affordable options for future ref.

Alyn, most definitely, I just needed some discs quick - once I've saved my pennies I'll be going for proper quality ones instead of my 'solidauto' made disks

If you had painted them pink mate o it would have given us banter for ages

Nice work painting them on the dining room table

[Stuart]

Nice work Ben. Shame you couldn't have found a bigger brush because I'm not quite sure you got enough paint on that disc face!! (Mask up next time )

[Ben]

Dude, there isn't a drop of paint on the disk face - I was mega careful .. all the bits painted are the non face parts - I compared where was rusty on the current ones with where needed painting

[Ben]

Oh if you mean where the bolt holes are - that will be cleaned before they go on ..

[Ben]

My turbo has been annoying me with a whine on shut down, it runs fine, no smoke, doesn't burn oil but just sounds whinney - So, bought another turbo .. hurrah.





No play in the shaft, runs smoothly so rather pleased. Still amazed at the good value the parts for the impreza are.

Next job is to get front and rear calipers, wheel bearings.

[Daniel]

Awesome.

99% of the IHI VF series whine on spool down due to the roller bearing

Nice work Ben, you sure you didnt want to go for a faster turbo ? Especially with 3 (4 one day!) RX7s about
