Easy to claim, impossible to prove; like most of your statements.... so, **** off newbie.
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..

Recommendation to all newbies from me:
Stay away from posting new threads,rather search and posting new thread?
Is its worth it?
Post when you must,but be prepare be spanked
Its yours car,if you have VTA,I wouldn't care,do you have fake roof vent,who cares,its yours car and you are driving car and people have their opinions,do you have stickers,I wouldn't be worried too,at the end is yours car and yours pride and joy
Good luck to all newbie

Do any newbies still dare come on here? I thought they'd all been intimidated into staying away.
My advice to any newbie thinking of posting would be not to bother until you've been a member for at least ten years & even then expect to be treated harshly if you post the wrong thing.
Hope this helps & good luck.

As a newbie, you will know that the CDB in your old WRX "it deffo as won mate innit" means that it can take 400 bhp and that it triples the real value of your car.
You will also know that your car does indeed have 400 bhp "coz it as a buust cuntrol aiyee"

Education and awarenesses
When you read the old classic threads about moles and horses and tuning
Threads there was no txt speech just laughs all the time
We are already getting newbys coming through the system and surviving
This thread should be a sticky
Like the stickers that are too sticky thread

25,000,000 word essay written in Japanese on a scroll of parchment just situated next to the turbo !!

Dont forget that just renewing your tax disc could require a map update
Expect your car to blow up or break down every time its dynoed or a new part is fitted
Always remember once you have finished (ruining) sorry tuning your Subaru that its value has plummeted as its no longer original
Now its finished and your bored its time to sell it on...or in reality its time to split it into 1000 pieces and sell parts for the next eleventeen years
