as the title says... mine is coming to the end of it's life. It's got the PPP so is only pushing 240 BHP or so, but I might uprate to around 300 BHP in the future.

I've got to say the OE has lasted very well - 80k miles.

Thanks.

thanks.

Juddery when cold - it is very slightly, though it is worse now that it is so worn-down.

OE it will be then - anything else to get done whilst the car is in bits?

CLUTCHES - AP RACING

Two high-performance AP Racing clutch kits are perfect for all WRX and STi cars and later UK cars - the Organic Clutch Kit and the 4-Paddle Clutch Kit.

The Organic clutch kit has increased spring clamp pressure compared to the standard STi clutch, the design of the clutch diaphragm cover means that the greater pressure does not translate into a heavier clutch pedal. The clutch plate is a full circle organic plate and is not harsh like performance clutches, making it very suitable for everyday road use. A superb road clutch which is not heavy and will handle 350 bhp. '

thanks - from their website at least TSL certainly seem to know what they are talking about, but for me a trip to Nottingham isn't likely.

I'll have to source the clutch and bearing and get my local Subaru dealership to fit it - and before you say anything yes they ARE that flexible - their main business was tractors, so they've been selling Subarus for a very long time and are top people - Culverwells.

ps their service manager told me last week to hang-on to my 'classic' - they had the new WRX in for a day, and had got lots of customer feedback on it; he sounded quite depressed cry
