jdm hatch ireland
Excellent news. Have to say I agree, Kev & Dan are always very helpful and friendly when I contact them.
Love the wheels, just put mine back on these wheels with the winter tyres on.

UPDATE
so the lads at the clinic got stuck in this morning
We have run into a few things with the car that need to be rectified
the oil cooler is top mounted and the lines are almost resting on the headers
we have scoring on the pipes
undecided if we will route the pipes along the passanger side or if we will
front mount the oil cooler but it’s clear that the cooler pipes need to be replaced
the intercooler is approx 50 percent of it completely hidden behind the bimper
we need to remove the bumper and cut and open it out to aid airflow
not claiming to be a Subaru guru in any way shape of form
i always assumed the Jdm hatch didn’t have tgv well mine does
so we decided to remove the intake manifold to remove
and this will make removing the secondary air system a lot easier
The lads are well underway with it
communication with kev and dan top notch as always
I truly believe the car could not be in better hands

I had a feeling they’d be some kind of issues with it
i was on the fone to dan for 40 mins
everything explained
all the options laid out
It’s weird and exciting seeing the progress after it was sat in the garage
for so long doing **** all
Lots more to come on this

Haha. I know that feeling mate. Every available surface in my garage is now piled high with parts. Can't wait to see them on the car and can't wait to get some of my garage back again!!!

Not really looked that far ahead one step

No man that’s the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle for me
but tbh there is so much to be done on the car as it is
I’ll come back next year for a fully built 2.1
the engine should be fine at 450 but obviously always a risk

What’s to be gained spending hours in the oe ecu wasting money when it’s going syvecs anyway
I’ve already wasted enough money when the option was put to me it didn’t interest me
if we still have issues mechanical or electrical when we are ready for the dyno that’s a different story
I require the car to be running a 100 percent and the clinic have been instructed to do whatever is necessary to ensure that’s the case

The tgv flaps have been removed and the lads at the clinic
are busy cleaning it all up
Going ahead and getting the intake manifold painted red will be a nice contrast
with the carbon covers

100 percent man
i want to cover all bases with the car
if there are issues after the ecu goes on I’m sure we can progress from there
whats apparent is there is a massive overfueling issue the front lambda isn’t working
the car was doing 4.2 kilometers per liter off boost
i nursed it up the road a few miles to meet the transporter
lots of things appealed to me about the clinic reoccurring advice on the mapping thread from lads on here was to take it to a garage who could do everything under the one roof

i say looking at the car in a million pieces is crazy
but the lads are on with it

Coming along nicely. Glad they found the wiring to the fly by wire throttle.
