I'm not aware any cars running the 340R map have failed. It's a map that plays safe despite the extra power.

I believe that was Tony Warner's and there was a small problem not related to the HG or pistons (tumble valves I think). The car is running fine and dandy now!

How about the 320R map?
Do you know if any of them have failed? As that's what I'm running.

The same issue goes with the 300 PSI factory map, and also a few 330S' have gone.
Best by far would appear to be the 340R.

No problem. I've been called worse.
Even Tony ice cream or Tony Sausages.
Yes tumble generators caused SN issue, apparently only in sport # IIRC
So if you do a rolling road day, try it in both sport and sport#

John, have Subaru given you lot any information on performance upgrades such as Pro-R, Cosworth or Prodrive?
A 340-R pack would be an appealing add-on for these cars.

19" & 20" wheels are sorted and will be ready from launch date, as will a 6-pot brake upgrade kit, sat nav and sports exhaust system. We are currently working on a front bumper and rear diffuser, similar design to the WRX STi concept car as well, which should be ready soon after launch.

Really can't decide on alloy colour. All the vids are with gold, and I like them. But, there are no really good pics of the blue Sti's with silver wheels to compare.
As for alloy wheel packages with gold alloys, I would probably just keep the original 18" silver alloys and just get them powder coated. Much cheaper, and tyres are not as expensive as they would be going up to a 19" alloy.

I'll wait until I've seen one in the flesh before ordering. I quite like it but its got stiff competition from the Golf R which can be had for a similar price.
My guess is it'll still require super unleaded, be in the £480 odd tax bracket (which the R isn't) and perhaps not as easy to live with day to day as the Golf.
When are they due in the showrooms?

Will cast proper comment when it's seen in the flesh just from this it looks so wrong

Proportions look off and the front arches appear too flat.
Looks OK in the white and black images above, just feel that's more to do with the angle of the shot
Will have to see it in the flesh

When the 4th Generation cars first appeared back in 2012, I did a comparison shot with the 2011 model.................

Simple answer is yes, subject to usual T&C's. I.e. car has been serviced & maintained as per manufacturer schedule etc.

Truth be told - I sort of assumed ordering as early as I did I would be getting a launch edition with gold alloys. I bet when I ordered mine back in January, all the USA launch editions with the gold alloys as standard wouldn't have been sold out? Furthermore - it wouldn't suprise me if I heard that there are STILL some of the 1000 launch models still unsold in USA?
Perhaps I should have stipulated when I placed down my deposit that my understanding was I would be getting a launch edition.

It's underwritten independently, all the info is given prior to a package been ordered. Sorry, I don't put names out there in the public domain, as it's something I have worked really long and hard on over the last year, but the level of cover matches Subaru's.
