If you've had a race on a public highway pop a post up and tell us all about it.
We love hearing about how you've beaten X/Y/Z, especially if you throw a top speed in.
We will all think you're a driving god, and give you a hearty 'well done''

14. Newbies ensure that you realise how massively inferior all UK models are compared to JDM cars
We are not worthy of rear wiper blades and twin scroll turbos

It's also widely accepted that your mechanic mate, who once worked on a Subaru, is the fountain of knowledge on fixing/modifying/maintaining them.
Any well known tuners advice must be ignored at all cost, unless your mate has already said the same.
The same applies to the members who have been here for years and have been there and done it.... they know nothing, always consult your mate and nobody else.

17. Mapping.....If you are lucky enough to own a Subaru built between the years 1992 and 2013 then you really have a special model. The clever boffins at Subaru fitted these model years with a self learning ecu.
So........
When asking for advice about what effect your latest engine mod will have on the factory map and someone "know it all" says it needs mapping he is talking out of his ****. The ecu will sort it all out for you with the self learning mode which is easily activated by......
1.Turn on ignition
2. Selecting all gears(clutch pedal half way)starting in reverse and working backwards from 5th/6th to 1st
3. Rest mileometer
Its really that easy and should put a stop to "which mapper is best" style threads..
