As I had a couple of days off from work Me and the Wife decided to take the Journey down to Enginetuner to see how Project "The Force Awakens" was getting on,and whether my car was still a Jedi Master in the making or had taken the quick path that leads to the Darkside.After talking to Alan and him telling me that the project was still heading in the right directionI was happy with that,as those were the words I wanted to hear directly from him,but like anything that requires custom work alot of planning and thought is also required to get parts to fit with O.E precision,and not just thrown together i.e"bodged job".Alan.J skill set has put my mind at rest knowing that he wants everything correct and perfect for me as he does for all his customers.Everyone wants perfection but sometimes you have to be patient and wait for itHopefully not to long though....Here's a few more pictures of where it's at.
Should have said Id have come in and said hello, Im getting withdrawl from my car!!!!
It was not really something that we planned to do J,it was kind of a knee jerk decisionNext time that I am making the journey I will pm you mate.I hear you about the withdrawal symptoms though and feel your pain:lol1.I viewed your car down there mate very very nice engine build,you will be squeezing the accelerator peddle again before you know it.SJ.

Thanks They have done a top job with it, im well chuffed with it! Martyn is back today, and the ECU is back too, so maybe if fate is kind by the end of the week
It's been quite sometime since I have updated my thread, but after receiving personal messages about my project I have decided to make a few more post.First thing I still have it which after seeing so much Subarus being broken or sold on is a miracle really...anyway lets begin,after collecting my car from ET I went through a stage in my life when i was just going to sell up and Get a sensible car with no potential of modding just turn the key and drive off kind of car, but after a few weeks of falling out off love with it i decided to give it another chance Lol.I think what made me feel like that,was how long things took for me to get my car back as from the time that I first started the project was going into years,so i decided to buy a black Renault Clio 172 to bridge the Gap,which I then sold to a cliosport forum member and then i purchased another one but this time it was a Renault Clio 172 cup....
I still have it and that will be another track project car for the future, anyway back to my Subaru I decided that with the power that it was now pushing out that i would need to make the cabin a safer place to be,so i took a trip down to Scooby Clinic for a Safety Devices roll cage to be fitted.On my way down there a hgv lorry kicked up a stone and cracked my windscreen so that was another thing now that I had to fixanyway I drove the rest of the 50 miles down to Scooby Clinic with a cracked screen.i did manage to get the screen repair people to send a new screen out to be fitted while the roll cage was getting installed....
Will add more to the thread from now on when i have the time.SJ.

Could easily of got more power on more boost but Martin j wanted to keep the boost pressure under 2 bar...I could of gone for a meth map if i wanted to also,but in all honesty i just wanted pump gas power and that is what i told Martin at the time,the fact my car has been running that power now for years is a testament to that decision.SJ.
