A few options around mate
Been following a few threads over in states (IWSTI & NASIOC). They seem to think front side pillar mounting is fine (seen a picture with the airbags deployed and it is the side curtain air bag that comes out of the very top of the pillar only). But no-one is making the pods just yet (most are homebrew ones).
I don't like all the other aftermarket options (on top of the clock pod, top of the dash pod, steering column pods, replacing the middle air vents option) and having a double din DVD unit, like you, I don't want to replace it with a single din unit and fit the single din 3 gauge units they do (DEFI etc.)
So far the best compromise I have found is the HKS CAMP 2 setup for DVD displays (not cheap though)...not essential so only a wish list for me
HKS USA HKS CAMP2 Real-Time Engine Monitoring

Do you know if data for air intake temp, oil temp, oil pressure, boost can be taken from ecu or do you have to buy the sensors at extra cost ?
The vent gauges from Revolution would cost a min £200 + £160 for the pre drilled replacement vent plate to fit them in - so not much less than the HKS dvd display

[Dons flame suit in case everyone knew this & it's just me who didn't read all the manual....]
So I was getting hacked off at the fan / heating controls / AC being either freezing cold or too hot,
spotted this on IWSTI, post #9
This is what they call *auto* climate control?! - IWSTI.com: Subaru WRX STI Forums
Tried it tonight.......at last it works properly
press the AC button for two seconds till it flashes & hey presto 17degC is only marginally warmer than 16degC, rather than before
Was starting to think Subaru can't design anything right

Hello I'm BJM over on the sidc website. Much bigger following of the hatches over here so thought I'd ask you guys:
where's the best place to get a front splitter? I'm after an oem look but refuse to pay full dealer price for it.
What bulbs should I be buying for the side lights to 'match better' with the headlights?
Thanks in advance
EDIT - is a 08 sti

Many thanks Dave ! I understood the bits that were in English, but got lost in the technospeak.

I worked it out as costing around $1000 in the US and costing around £720 by the time you get all the stuff you need over here (i.e. with the import tax, but without fitting costs). Haven't seen a UK supplier yet, but I haven't really looked into it.
Given the CAMP2 unit plugs into the OBDII port would be interesting to know if you can read/re-set fault codes as well for that money!

For the front splitter there are a few options around, but the OEM one looks the best IMO. Suggest you get a price from a main dealer, then ring Ian at Litchfields and see what price he can do it for you...

Oil Pressure,Oil Temp & Boost are all seperate sensors and you need an oil filter sandwich plate adapter etc. and then the HKS IF meter interface unit to plug them into.This then plugs into the CAMP 2 main control box.
I worked it out as costing around $1000 in the US and costing around £720 by the time you get all the stuff you need over here (i.e. with the import tax, but without fitting costs). Haven't seen a UK supplier yet, but I haven't really looked into it.

Incidentally I hear that Ecutek are releasing software in March to tuners to allow mapping on the S and S# settings

[QUOTE=silver demon;9167057]Looks interesting

That is where my heated seat buttons are but mine are different, 2 x roller type, maybe just the drivers is heated?

I/C water-spray! never understood why that was dropped on the hatch?
Its been on all other STI's for years. Now its back?
Also see the red stitching is back on the steering wheel
The seats look similar to my Recaro's which are not heated.
I like the rear under spoiler

I couldnt ever tell if it made a difference when i used it on my 2 hawkeye STI's
they reckon that the massive intake and i/c on the sti hatch didnt require the i/c spray (so why fit it on the spec c & R205?
