All,

I have been running my car on Optimax for the last few weeks, before SUL. I can't help but think that maybe this is all a waste of time. Car has been running like a bag of **** for the last few weeks Noticed the car hesitating around the 2900 rev range, in the last few days. Boost seems ok.

On the PS rollers had 208 BHP Running very rich!!!

Had it from new MY00, got it Jan 2001 and ran on NUL for 4 months or so, and seemly only had the problems since resetting the ECU and changing fuels.

20.5k on the clock now, car seems so much slower than when it was run in!!!

Sideways done me a few weeks ago in his Wagon 107k on the clock on NUL. STI5 made me look pathetic till the twisty and stopping parts. Maybe I outdrove him, but thought be could have taken me at any time. The dump valve sound was fantastic hearing it behind me I want one!!!!

PLEASE, can anyone help.

Just bought a Scoobysport DP from Bob Will this help ? Might go for a link ?

Go to a Subaru dealer and tell them you think the Oxygen (lambda) sensor is faulty as it is using a lot of fuel and is running like a bag of s**t. They should know about the problem and fix it under warranty.

I seem to remember that Ian Cook had the same problem and this sorted it out.

DaveW,

I'm going to dealers tomorrow to have yet another item replaced, the silly centre box thingy.

I will ask them to check it out.

Thanks for the advise.

Cheers Phill C
