You don't need all those gauges Ricky. When it starts making loud rattling noises and stops working you know it's broken

If you need to get anything from Cheam you need to be quick or hold on for a while as they're closing down for a bit moving to South Dorking.

Rick if you do need any stuff from them Ask for Jim (James Childs) Aftersales manager he's done me some great deals on my Leggy forum!

Russ!

Just want to get the most out of the current setup: Add a Bellmouth decat downpipe to existing Fujitsubo system; 3 port boost solenoid; Walbro fuel pump; one step colder spark plugs maybe; bumper intake to K&N panel filter; new maf sensor; all fluids change; then remap with Apexi Power FC for V power. Hoping to run near to 330bhp on std VF28, if need be, maybe an uprated actuator?

After that just a few suspension mods: thicker rear ARB; solid rear droplinks & stoutmounts; diff lock kit. Brakes upgrade only if I can get hold of a bargain, otherwise Im ok with std setup with uprated pads as is.

I dont think you would need an uprated actuator, however you could invest in a AVCR & a Q45 maf. Quality items & really worth doing. Final results will leave you happy.

1 Rota wheel still lost & awaiting compensation or refund
Grounding kit also missing in shipment

But on a positive note, a few things have been done in between moving house & working 12 hour days!

Big thanks to Rich aka Fiestaboy for full service & mapping & thanks also to JohnMC for help fitting my decat downpipe & HID's. If you need driving down to Rich's etc in High Wycombe while car is worked on,let me know John.

Work done:

-Millers engine oil
-Silkolene Silktran gearbox oil
-Silkolene Silktran diff oil
-Motul RBF600 Brake fluid
-Motul Igunel Coolant
-MAF Sensor
-Crank Sensor
-3 Port Boost Solenoid
-Walbro Fuel Pump
-6000k HID's /LED Sidelights
-H&S bellmouth decat downpipe
-(Joined to existing Fujitsubo SuperTi exhaust)
-(Already had HKS panel filter/Zero Sports hardpipe)
-Apexi ECU & Power FC Commander
-Complete Remap by Rich with over approx 30 runs & over 30 revesions of the map

Now drives like a different car, a world apart! I cannot believe the difference, in fact I wonder why Subaru ever sold it as was. Must say that Rich's expertise & in depth knowledge, especially in mapping my Apexi ECU was formidable to say the least & very reassuring. Rich I think you need to get some badges/emblems made up for customer tailgates with some kind of Cosworth/Litchfield-esq tuned by etc??
