Since I have improved the grip, braking and acceleration even in the wet if pushing it the CD headunit (Kenwood 5080R) will occasionally skip. If I drive slightly more "sensibly" it is rock steady. I did not think I was a loony by Impreza standards.

The headunit seems very secure. I heard about lashing the backplate? But I really can't move the thing at all. Is around 1g too much for the poor thing?

My car has only done 15000 miles.

You're pulling around 1g!?I haven't done that in almost...well...long before in dash cd players.;-)Tapes didn't skip.
Man,you've really warmed this thing over,eh?Dayem...

I don't know - I had read before in a review that a std Impreza could almost pull 1g in 1st and do so under braking and not far off in corners say 0.9g IIRC, and I have upped the boost in places by 5 PSI over standard.

Whatever, it IS considerably more than before - esp brakes and acceleration, and my driving style has "developed" also which may be a bigger factor. I think I'll just turn the ICE off!

But my car is not THAT fast - I can't be they only one?

You need some inertial dampers, but I don't think they'll be invented for another 100 years if I'm to go by Star Trek
