Subaru want about £13k from me for the final edition. I've told them to get one ordered for me.

Who here owns a Subaru?

20% is easy.
5litres meth + 20 litres fuel.
10litres meth + 40 litres fuel (do from the fuel light as that's about 10litres left in the 60litre tank)
Simples.

Wake up Andrew.
So, got my scoob back last week.
Turned out to be a burnt exhaust valve. Suspect dropped/loose guide but couldn't be 100% confirmed as the cause of the damage. Car was map checked last year so pretty confident that's not the problem, although I am tempted to get it checked again just to be sure. Head was overhauled with new everything and I paid for a new clutch whilst the gearbox was out. Not having a squeaky clutch fork is bliss, too
It's running better than it ever has under my ownership. From cold it's a marked difference - no more hesitation (which TBH I didn't see as anything other than normal at the time). It feels quicker on the open road, maybe because of the issue or could be placebo - it's been off the road since end of August and I've rarely driven between now and then.
Gave it a run to the RR day, even managed to have a quick chat with Kosta (nice meeting you @ScoobyDoo69 ) and it reminded me why I love it so much. Not sure whether to keep or sell her now. Making a concerted effort not to do short trips in it and when I do drive it, to warm it up fully.
Glad you've got it back and sorted. Also nice to meet you too, hopefully not for the last time either
Rybo, what a shame - "live mapping" is the exact same as he'll do on the dyno. Do pulls, do logs, adjustments, pulls, logs, adjustments etc. Just you'll be booting it on the road instead of the dyno.
When I first met him he road mapped mine, and I got him to set my launch control at 5500rpm. I asked if he minded me giving it a go as I proceeded to launch it out of a dual carriageway lay-by
How does that work then?
What other things can be added with mapping? I'm sort of getting a bit twitchy to start fiddling, warranty be damned
That was my old blobeye.
But my current one also has launch control, flat foot shift, autoblip downshift, low boost on I mode, full boost on S & S# modes. It's from ECUTek RaceROM
Well... when mapped at RCM mine made 353bhp, but made 335bhp at TI at the weekend.
Looking at the graph it may have been pulling timing though, I really ought to have logged the runs!
I'll be looking at going the next step up on the current turbo in the new year.

Speeding up of the process ftw
I use 10w40 or 10w50.
Fuchs Titan stuff.

I wouldn't say so.
I've used Pro R and Pro S. Both good oils I think
Yes I had an AOS on my old car, keep meaning to buy one for this car also. Great idea, easier than a catch can, but can make you think you've had a head gasket failure when the moisture and oil vapour create a yellow substance lol
Nice update. Good job 
We're still yet to see pictures...
That's a good choice of colour!
Looking good, Phil! Springs should be next on your list though 
Launch control is all you need. I think you ought to swap that clutch before dropping it though hehe. Sounds like you're happy though, bring on 2018 - Santa Pod is going to be concrete now, so should make for better launches. Catch me with your 400bhp if you can
That's nice to hear! Didn't think the guy who maps my cars could be a fan of me, it's normally the other way round Nice of him though, thanks for relaying.
Car mapped
Launch control at 5.5k ready for Kosta side step. Didn't have antilag as he said it isn't real as the standard ECU cannot do it, so i didn't bother.

Yeah I've never done that...
Black WRX I had the clutch done and went straight to Santa Pod the same week! Several launches that day
Blue STi got launched from the day I bought it - when it had a clutch (didn't need one I just did it) - I booted it same day and launched it the next
You'd be surprised, you may not need the spacers, never ran any on my old car and was happy with how it looked. However, you're right hubcentric is a must.
So it died and you've got a 2.0 Sport with a turbo bonnet and WRX wheels for courtesy car?
I didn't have a turbo bonnet on my classic sport thank you!
Still waiting for pics...
Is that how yours sounded, Mike?
