Default Power loss

Hi folks,

I have a 2004 WRX Blobeye (regulary serviced and lots of new parts £££), however, overtime it seems to have lost its whip when accelerating in 1st and 2nd??
Can anyone kindly advise or have any pointers?? Local mechanic has stated it could be a number of things and suggested a game of elimination by replacing lots of parts (he obvisously thinks I have money to burn!)

Would appreciate any help on this matter.

Thank you in advance,

Adie

Take it to a specialist mate. Simple answer. It could be a lot of things and sounds like your mech doesn’t know where to start.

over time you get used to it (whether you have 200 or 600bhp), so it could actually be it's no different accept in your perception.
