Nice car Damon welcome to the diesel hatch club

 

Mark,

Assuming you have the data in Excell already from data capture or manual entry,then graphs are quite easy. Can't help with importing data into excell!
Easy enough to set up graphs in excell to show this data. But what do you want to display?

All on 1 graph?Very busy!
On many graphs?
Selected data on graphs ( e.g. revs / boost / timing ?? ) although would be set until you changed the graph data fields...


Basically, use the toolbar icon to inset graphs - it then asks for the various fields - what sort of looking graph ( line, bar, and many more ). Then where the data lives in excell, the data at the bottom (x axis ) and the data going up ( y axis ). Then things like names of axes, titles etc and any colours and stuff.

There are other ways to do it but this is easy, and you can always modify theselected data after or addmore data for more bars or lines etc.


I'll knock some thing up as a dummy if you want and post it / mail it to you??


Apologies if this sounded condecending and I am teaching an excell user to suck eggs... I read this as a non excell user wanting to graph data!
Slap me if you need to!!!

Cheers

Neil

 

Hi everyone,

Here is my diesel hatch

 

Hi damen and kp
wellcome to the club
derv is the way forward
gets better after 6 k then really faster after 10 k and I find better economy too
aveveraged 43.5 in 10 k miles but the last 3 tanks 46- 49 mpg
great car Looks great in all colours

 

Damn - seems my little kerb -wheel interface duuring the snow has had some pretty serious side effects.


Back in the snowy weather I avoided a sliding rubbish truck by accelerating out of it's path and then sliding into a kerb. (doh!)

Impact was taken on nearside front wheel, pretty much side on.

Took the car to my dealer and they checked it out and said they could find nothing wrong.

Anyway a few thousand miles later and I have just had to replace both front tyres as the offside edge of both had worn extremely badly. Oh, and the wheel is slightly buckled.

Took it to an alignment specialist who can't do the it as they don't have the data and the print out I got from Litcho is in degrees and they need mm - so I guess I'll be popping up to Iain shortly for a full geo check.

I would have though the dealer would be able to check alignment , but is seems not?

 

Anyone looking to sell there 08/09 Sti Hatch in silver?
Cash waiting for right car, must be low miles and mint, prefer euro import as higher spec

Drop me a PM

Cheers Jim

 

Hi,
Very nice colour, I see you have the WRXS / STI rear spoiler, was it very easy to fit / remove the old one? I think the standard one is to small, I should be changing my front grill also this weekend, the mesh ones look so much better!

 

Well i never got the black one. After waiting 3 weeks for the logbook it got broke into and wrecked at the garage the night before i was due to pick it up. Took wheels, wrecked the seats trying to get em out, twisted the door, bonnet etc..
On a brighter note i pick this up on Saturday. Angelsey trackday booked for 24th April


Lee

 

Thanks for your nice comments!

Changing the spoiler is simples Remove the top plastic cover in the boot surrounding the window, undo 4 bolts, unplug the washer jet pipe and brake lamp wire plug, then yank it off. Refitting is the reverse

Dead easy to do, if you take your time, I'd say 40 minutes tops? Make sure you have a deep 10mm socket for the inner 2 bolts though as they are pretty deep inside the hatch.

 

Codie, Wanna bring the new toy to the Micklehead meet on 29 April ??

 

Lee

Much prefer the white one mate. Looks good. How does it perform ?

 

Pick it up Saturday Mick, 2hr drive home Should get a good feel for it then. Test drove the black one and really liked it.

Lee

 

Might just do that Neil. Not gonna put me in a corner and mock are ye? I know what Subaru owners can be like

Lee

 

Cool, thanks, I think i will be adding that to my todo list!
How u finding ur mpg? just coming up to 10k in mine, starting to see 48-50mpg.

 

Anybody had there diesel mapped yet? See a few tuners now doing them.

Lee

 

Lovin that white one Lee.... must have been fate

 

Me too, even to the point where I had a look on Pistonheads this am, seem very resonable too!

How do they compare to the hatch, starights, twisties, interior, comfort etc?

 

Aaron, not as fast straight line as my hatch, but more nimble. Feels alot lighter than it probably is. Only test drove at the mo but tried some roundabouts, at speed and there is no roll!! just corners so good. As for interior, lovely Recaros which i can actually fit in. Dash bit basic but it got all toys, cruise, folding mirrors, heated etc.. and its got some form of launch control. Actually sounds not bad tbh, nice whistle when going some. Stage 1 is approx 250bhp, Stage 2 is approx 270bhp and 340lbft. Booked trackday to see how it goes and get the full effect of the LSD(as in diff,not drugs. just say no!) Gonna get use to the power it has now and then see when out of warranty. Cant wait for Saturday.

Scooby L(Kyle?), we were never meant to get the black one, had the R26R spoiler sprayed black, guy who sprayed it said he wasnt happy with finish. So he had rubbed it down again ready for repainting, i spoke to him at the right time and now he doing it white for no extra cost. So thats spoiler, air filter, mats, bluetooth, mudflaps, got new tyres on it, jobs agood un.

Lee

 

Prefer the shape of the white 1 Codie. Theres a guy in the building next door thats got a new 10 plate Megane Wolfrace, even though its not my cup of tea, it does look very nice.

 

Seen a white RS250 in the showroom, looks very nice, dont look like a lot of room in back tho. They reckon the RS250 is like the STi hatch, abit more grown up, not as raw.

Did u look into getting yours mapped mate?

Lee

 

Yeah, just restricted by insurance and cash flow at the momment.

Also found my self giving serious thought about px'ing the car in against a 335D last night too.

Come to the conclusion I've got a bill of about £3k5 to get the car to what I want.

 

Have you drove the 335d mate? Fast!!! My ex boss had the 335d coupe with the paddles etc.. 0-60 in six i think it was He couldnt get on with the M sport suspension tho and think he said it was averaging 33mpg about town. Was a lovely car. Be a shame shame to get rid of yours as you done lots to it. Mind you i have just done exactly that. The decision can only be your own.

Lee

 

I played with 1!! Yeah 440 torques is rapid. Their also ins grp 18!! So even modded mine would be cheaper.

Haven't done that much to mine, the CF film comes off easily, and I'd remove the radio. Apart from that its only the rear ARB thats been a mech change.

Might wait until the mods have been done and then see.

 

Subaru diesel no slouch to begin with tho.

Lee

 

Doesnt feel it, and round me its not quick.

 

They are certainly not super rapid, for one, all that 4WD system steals the torque, but also the Subaru Boxer Diesel was tuned for emissions, not speed... But, you can hustle it along quick enough

 

Had a Legacy diesel for a year, thought it went really well for what it was. It could certainly handle for a big estate. Used to love my weekly run to south wales along the coast road in it.
Seen one mapper gains of 50lbft and 40bhp. Be better in the Impreza i should imagine.

Lee

 

Went to see my dealer yesterday. Thinking about changing my 58 plate hatch. They've got a deal on - 330s pack they call it - Prodrive kit and 18" wheels at no extra cost. Quite tempting, but thought I'd wait to see what the saloon looks like when it comes. Going to be Oct/Nov time, but he also said that they are stopping the hatch. There are only 40 new ones left at the Subaru hub - all silver. He said he'll run out of cars before any saloons arrive, and that he reckons the hatch will reappear alongside the saloon next year. Plenty of vids of it on Youtube.

 

put my R205 spoiler up for sale over on the hatch forums guys
