Aww I was going to be cheeky and ask for a ride now it's been tuned. When did you move back up north?
I actually did some work on my WRX for the first time .. a while.
- new O2
- new handbrake shoes
- new coolant hoses
Going to start getting it ready for Flat Nats in Oct.
Update to this - the stock GC8 WRX springs arent suitable for being in a shock fitting to a BC5, its just too weak a spring
They fit physically but it has been really annoying me lately, if i corner even semi hard the extra weight on the front of the BC (compared to the WRX) is too much for the WRX spring rates, the tyres catch the inner guard, it passed another WOF check but it has really annoyed me on the drivability of the car which is what i was aiming for seeing as though i was so seldom able to drive my last BC , i just wanted to get this one driving stockish normalish so i could get WOFs and drive the bloody thing
Spent saturday trying to install stock BL5 Bilstiens on the front because one of my mates said they fit - WRONG- arg - idiot
Top hats dont work and i cant make the top hat swap work
Ive talked with various lowering spring suppliers and they just dont make springs for BC5 anymore : ' (
I was trying to avoid getting adjustables to save money on a cert - but of course ive spent nearly 2 grand on various springs/shock setups/top hats / bushes/ wheel alignments omfg i should have just got a set of BC golds and got a cert
Anyway - writing this incase someone sees it so they can save money and not make this mistake
