Oh and it wasn't a map on the PPP, there were many supporting mods.
Who here owns a Subaru?

What is it that you find backwards? I always found removing the headunit quite easy.. but then again I'd done it many a time!
KYB will do, shocks from hawk will fit.
They'll all suffer the same fate though.
Coilovers have their issues too though so it's either servicing those or replacing struts..

Good buy, well done. Beware, the rear shocks are almost welded to the hubs on most though, so be ready to do battle!
I don't know why the rears are such an issue, I couldn't budge the bolts no matter what I did on one of them. Cut them off in the end.
The one side I removed the driveshaft, brake assembly etc. so I could smash it with the impact gun. Still took hours of heat and pressure

Remember to leave it in gear on the line otherwise your Dad will take advantage
Get yourself some thin aluminium sheet and cut a dump valve shaped blanking plate out, stick it on and see how it reacts.
I gained another Subaru nearly 40bhp on the dyno when I blocked his dump valve off because it was leaking.

Nur Spec R is very loud, Phil. That's why i I loved it!
With the bung in it will probably still be louder than the Prodrive box on startup. Just less bassy due to the size it forces it to come out of.

The Nur Spec R is one of the loudest you can get..
ScoobyWorld's/Hayward & Scott's Ninja II is somewhere in between I'd say, and has a similar look to the Nur Spec.

Can't say I've noticed it on mine or any others.
PS, I'm officially back in the noisy Subaru owners club

You mean what have I had made!
Custom 3" turbo back which splits to a backbox either side at the rear. In each back box there is a straight pipe which is controlled by a valve. Valves open, most gas comes through the straight pipe, valves closed, very quiet rear silencer does a great job.
However I will state that it is not as loud or as obnoxious as the old Subaru, I will put this down to the fact that it's not a big bazooka cannon adding bass. But it sounds ace when you get on it
O and mapped again - 355bhp / 350lbft

Aye.
Needs TGV deletes that it was supposed to have had, should have seen me over 360 
30 sec in (when it processes)
Oddly all the videos from the rear on the GoPro really don't capture the sound well at all. The front does though

Yeah hopefully back in the 12s relatively easily. But we'll see!
Yeah done by Duncan at RCM

I think the Spec C and RA would both be great cars, but realistically are you going to do any track work or anything where you'd see the benefit?
Also the investment thing.. you know how I feel about that. I appreciate that you don't want to lose a shed load of money right away, but they're all however old now, they're not going to lose much, regardless of the model.
The JDM Hawkeye STi is still a very very good car. Usual exhaust, intake & remap will see you over 350bhp in a very responsive and well handling package. They'll support a twinscroll turbo beyond 400bhp easily too.
"Choice mods" - everything can be reverted to standard for sale, except if you go full blown nutter.
Have you had a drive of any of them yet?

Anything with a 2.5 keep some money to rebuild at some stage.
It nearly did. But what put me off more was the struggle to find a clean blobeye that wasn't way overpriced or even a way overpriced one that was actually clean haha.
I've got funds for the rebuild waiting lol.
