it has equal length headers, Prodrive sports cat, 3 inch ss sytem from the cat back, Cosworth filter, pink STI oil filter and Bob Rawle re-map. 332 bhp @ 5084 rpm and 398 lb-ft @ 3645 rpm. usual chassis mods, whiteline f+r uprated rolls bars, ultra racing f+r upper brace bars.

mileage is less than 60k. goes ok but I don't use it much. once a week if I'm lucky. done less than 1k over the last 12 months.

keep thinking about selling it but every time I go out in it, I always change my mind

yes, internal is standard. regular oil and genuine oil filters always used.

I do doubt I would sell. I just normally get bored after 12 months and fancy a change. I doubt I would find another as nice as this one with the mods and mileage. wheels are being re-furbed in the next week or two. fancy going a little darker as white body and silver wheels is a bit bright for my liking. I might even treat myself to an Alcon brake upgrade in the New Year as I find the originals a bit lacking when using the car as designed. has Performance Friction pads in at the moment but they feel a bit wooden. will try another bleed and flush but there is no real bite to them.

hi have an 04 one with redstuff which is a bit wooden , the 05 new shape one has pagid pads i don't know which ones but the braking is much firmer , i'm assuming it's the pads making a difference as i don't know if the master cylinder was changed from model to model , the newer shape brakes are sharper than my 6 pot ap's on the other car

think I might swap all the pads, flush the fluid and go with that. might even try oem Brembo pads. the PF ones might need plenty heat in them first to work but not always easy on the road need that stopping power from the first bite.
