Well.....

My gf and i bought a rex together for her, picked it up the sarvo. 99 model 59k kms, forged pistons and sti rods, other than that standard and i put the exhaust on the sarvo. As my r33 is still bein rebuilt (at the machinist atm so waiting for the block and its done finally hopin in the next week or two and its finished), i havent actually had any boost in bout 7 months. So i took the wrx for a very conservative run in the hills just then, and it was so so sweet that feeling of boost again oh boy theres goin to be a cruise soon as the r33s ready i cant wait. But as i said hmmmm boost is so so sweet......

Yeh nice work Dan......... I drove a auto WRX the other night also, found it to be surprisingly laggy off the line, but once up and going they pick up quite nicely! Just gota watch the g/box with them, cos............. BANG they go! but im sure your missus will be fine in it!

LOL @ Deluxe :P

Not a case of "missing" boost, but with the highflow installed last week, and the all important extension of my seat rails - cheers Pete, Im loving this "new and improved" boost! hahaha

sad but true, highflows are just so suited to Stageas. hell, Im even experiencing loss of AWD traction :D

now thats a first for me.

hoped the rebuilt '33 goes well, good luck with the runin

well given im missing my licence right now wen i got to drive the sissior lift around the other day was my little moment

sorry to hijak just had to share my moment as well

lol, guys i can relate. my 33 has been defected for a month or so now and ive been driving around in an....

EA Falcon :huh::kiss:

i drove my 33 on monday to regency on factory boost and ecu, i was so happy just to feel the boost and power.

even tho it was nothing compared to before :rofl:

i have an addiction to BOOST... ect.

not being nasty, but good luck with the gearbox.

whatever you do dont stick anything other then the standard clutch in it.

a mate has spent more money on replacement gearboxs and rebuilt gearboxes with dog gears etc then what he payed for the car. (im not joking)

and any work you get on the trans has absolutely NO Waranty.

2 days later Bang! another $5000 ouch.

Hence now he has sold the car and purchased a nissan.

Just be carefull is all im saying.

Yeh i realise this lol, but im keeping it standard except for the 3" zorst. it has had the 1st-4th syncros replaced in it and has a sti clutch in it. My gf wont be launching it or smashing it into gear i have been teaching her to be very careful with the gearbox, but thanks anyway :-) .

For that kind of money in broken box's, wouldn't they have been better off upgrading it to an STi 6 speed? From what I know these are meant to be a lot stronger than the POS that's in every other WRX.

Hey lads.

Thats the info for Aarons Sliding Performance highflow turbochargers, with prices on the 1st page. Although you must check the availability tho, he's a busy man.

I supplied a shagged R33 turbo to be highlfowed (thanks Bunta), and I had a shagged R32 turbo on hand too (was an ebay highflowed VG30 turbo, LOL, not - I got jipped). Aaron gave me a decent deal for the supply of 2 turbos, the R33 for the highflow and the R32 simply for his stock.

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
