Title: Newbie from Newcastle area
Post by: Tuffty on October 22, 2012, 09:50:54 am
Been a member on here for a while but never posted

Bought a Edition 30 last December after selling my Impreza STi. 

Not long after i bought it

was standard 1 owner car when i bought it and was going to leave it alone, Did a trackday at Blyton with Javelin Trackdays and thought in standard trim it needed fettling. 1st was to sort the brakes out as they were worn and needed replacing.  Got a hold of some rear R32 discs and calipers and fitted them

Then got some Cayenne 6 pots 18zr calipers and Mercedes ML320cdi 350mm discs for the front. People dont like these due to weight ect but think they work well for the money

Lastly (so far :laugh:) lowered on a set of Eibach sportline springs

Future plans are possibly a remap of some description, an induction kit and possibly a set of Audi S line split rims in 19 inches if they clear my brakes  :happy2:
