Who here owns a Subaru?

You're right about the smart charge. I always used to drive with the sidelights on to ensure full alternator charging.

The turbo timer used to show 11.8v with the sidelights off, and 14.4v with the sidelights on.

Apparently Bob Rawle (mapper) found that in some occasions the fuel pump would not receive the same voltage it required to keep up with the required flow and so advised driving with the sidelights on also.
 
I went straight on to mapped for meth on my old STi so nothing to compare to in that aspect, but I think my quarter mile times speak for themselves. More power everywhere over a car not running meth.

Loads of 12.2s with 360-370bhp on the VF35 and a single 12.1s.
Never got to run it down the strip at its final 406bhp though!
 
No need for the Facebook message, it's simples.

Blobeye STis have been known to wear the synchros on 4th & 5th quite easily. It happened on mine on a miss-shift, thereafter the 4th would nearly always grind. Apparently not uncommon.

The hawkeyes onward came with carbon synchros on 4th-6th so when I had mine done I had them replaced with the carbon ones which are supposedly a lot tougher. Keep it in mind if yours ever starts getting tough to shift into 4th or 5th.

Some use Redline gearbox oil to help mind. It was too late for mine at that point :D

Cool, cheers Kosta. Job for over the winter then I think.

Do you port it to gasket size? Just the engine end or uppipe end as well? Is the Harvey trick uppipe still worth going for?

Worth wrapping the manifold while I'm there?

Just shy of gasket size. Port each pipe fully. Harvey trick up pipe very much worth it.

Yes definitely wrap the manifold. Will smoke like mad for a bit but eventually stop smelling etc.

For seemingly no reason, my Whiteline ARB bushes have started making a terrible din - any way to quieten them down again? Ordered some suitable lubricant but wondering if that'll even have the desired effect...

Squeaking? If no the lubricant should do the trick. Can get extremely squeaky on the smallest of movements if dry!
