Do you have a diesel hatch then Simon C - whats its like?


rb5286 - maybe they all sit at 24mpg, because thats what mine says too - 24.5

Simon C

I do indeed have a derv. On the whole its a nice car. Suffers from the same suspension an steering feel problems as the WRX and STi (its a wrx with a derv block, hence WRXd stickers). The slight under powered feeling is sorted with a cheeky remap, although in reality its not underpowered (258 ft/lbs).

On my 25 mile commute each way I usually see 48 mpg @ 75 mph avg. This morining run was all 55mph hence the high figures.

scooby L

23.7

But I never follow people for long, I spend all the time in s# and today I was enjoying the warm tarmac

Always in S# eh?

I myself generally just leave it in S and switch to S# when I want to behave like a loon.

Are you able to make it permanently say in S# then Kyle or do you have to keep selecting it?

scooby L

No it always defaults to s.. but on a cold start I drive a couple of miles then switch to s#... not to cane it mind you... but the throttle response feels so much better in #.

Hit the boost cut this am... oops... 3 mile uphill dual-carriage way.... WOT in 6th and all hell let lose at ah-hem mph..... CEL and all sorts of fairy lights on the dash... even went into i-mode for the remainder of the journey...

Dunc had set boost cut at 1.45 for safety ... obviously it just spiked over because it never got anywhere close before (usually 1.3 max)...warmer temp and continual WOT loading I assume..anyway, re-set the ecu now and all 100% again...

can do that in the map if required.

scooby L

NOW he tells me!

can do it by effectively swapping the throttle maps over in S and S#

21.9, 22.4 or similar mpg my usual averages, I again use S# as the car is so much sharper to respond, don't boot it to red line but do 50% driving in villages / towns and rest A roads / dual carriageways ...

riggedSTI

wow....that really looks good sparkey...

iTrader: (7)

Can you put S# throttle map / all map data over the S, and make a manic S# map for ultimate performance???

I heard that the ecu can have other features such as flat shifting and launch control, is that right, maybe an ECU feature or ECUTek have developed or a work around??

Thanks

sparkey67

took abit decideing between these & prodrive gt1 that mark has forsale but well chuffed with these

i run mine in S mode running to work & back A roads & dual carrige way 30 miles round trip average 28mpg tryed in all 3 settings doing same run only 0.5mpg between them use S# when wanting to play

Looks mean Sparkey, same colour as mine, I just have the 5 spoke anthracite wheels ( 330S ).

Hi

What is the part number for the STI hatch short shift kit? Any idea what the book time for fitting is?

TIA

vulnax999

iTrader: (7)

From the STi accessories brochure, the part no. is

C1010FG6000

Fitting time, around 1 - 1.5 hours.

Looks really good mate. Hope the smell of the tyne didnt spoil your photo shoot

scooby L

Great wheels Sparkey

(I've just ordered a set of hub-centric 20mm spacers from the group buy section).. should get my BBS's out to ET +35

urban

iTrader: (1)

I'd say yes he could

However I'd also say you'd need a really big pair of bollox

scooby L

Yes it is, (my new s is like my old s#, and my "i" is now circa 220bhp )


But the addiction of s# is too great

sparkey67

had looked at rota force drift on a 18x 9 wheel that give et 38/35 ish likr these

S# has to be the default setting
Just be sensitive with the right foot. Still get 28-30mpg per tank but that may be because there is virtually no town driving.

scooby L

Like those too That's more the ET I am aiming for..a bit more aggressive
