The WRX hatchback project!

Cheers mate! still plenty to do, carbon fibre front splitter, skirts and spats, polybushings, and another 20/30hp. Then I will be happy.

Wish I never bothered cutting the bumper for the exhausts, I think the single exit looks better now. So if I was you don't do it.

How much extra bhp can you get out of these wrx without having to upgrade engine parts and brakes. I assume mine is running around 255 bhp as its got the ppp on. Wondering if i could go much further. Yeah mate, think i will leave the single exhaust pipe.

You could get it up around 280bhp with the standard turbo with a uprated panel filter and a sports/decat + remap, and the engine (should) be fine at that power. I only changed my pistons as I was aiming for around 360/370bhp.

This is a bargain if you are staying with the stock turbo! I doubt you will see one of these for sale again second hand.

Nice. Not sure what I'm doing with the engine and turbo yet. Thats the trouble.

Back lights look cool mate.prefer smoked to clear

Car looking good there Carl.

You can always go back to single exit mate, loads of the yanks do it. And I'll take that crappy quad set off you for a bargain price if you decide to go that way. Can't give them things away unfortunately but I'll give you a few tenders for it

Cheers lads, Keith I will let you know if I part company with my 1400 pound crappy exhaust!

Damn, you saw thru my plan.

If I see a single exit I like Keith I will give you first dibs.

Very nice mate. Youve done a cracking job

Cheers Neil! how you enjoying yours?

Love it mate. Totally different drive to my old classic. Haven't done anything to it yet. Going to wait till the weather picks up a bit. Whats yours drive like now?

Not much different to standard when driving normal but it has a real kick up the arse when you put your foot down.

I have a charge speed splitter, skirts and rear spats to fit when i get home from graft (February) then im thinking of selling it in the summer and getting a classic type r.

Very nice. That's the only thing with mine i could do with a few extra horses ( im never happy with power haha ).
It's a shame if you decide to sell it after the work you've done. Then again a type r is good for putting a smile on your face

New STI grill, and Chargespeed splitter fitted, the splitter is temporarily plastidipped black but is getting carbon dipped once Locky sorts his new unit out.

Had a blast out today and all I can say is wow!
Bob has done a great job with the mapping, the power is amazing no lag it just goes like shittt off a shovel in any gear.
That's it now power wise 405bhp just feels perfect on the road next step will be a gearbox.

Big thanks to Andy Kindon for all the work he has done on the car, the engine is quiet and doesn't use a drop of oil in-between changes.

Awesome Carl - Top quality mapping from Bob as he gives a shit about the driveability of your car and top quality engine building as per usual from Dr Kindon - Glad you are enjoying it so much. I am getting my Alcatek fitted and mapped this Thursday by Bob....should be fun

Over the moon with it Mario its definitely a smile a mile!

Yours is going to be awesome all that power in a light raw car like yours.

Nice turbo mate and glad your happy lot Beter then td05 20g as power low down and keeps pulling

It's spot on Gary perfect for what I wanted, it still has more to give but my injectors maxed out.

The pink max out at 381 on mine 
You got blue in you and max out at 405 

You planing on changing injecters in near future and see what you can get out of it ?

Doubt it mate, its only got forged pistons so it's probably on the limit now of what the engine will take.
