That seems low do you have a picture of the camera and the stereo in the dash? Did you need an extra trim around the head unit?

Hi,


Here's a pic of where camera is now mounted;




This is the picture from the head unit, used the trim from my 2011.






May need to move the camera, as soon will be working on a rear diffuser

The camera fitted by Subaru on my MY11 is in the same position under the bumper.

Thanks Mark is it prone to getting dirty down there? Where did you decide to fit the DAB aerial?

Well we've not done very well here have we ? Not many of the 250 on show.

This option 2 you speak of, the 400+ mentioned by John ?

Anyone fancy the peaks run www.subarupeeformance.org

NormantheDog

No that is option 3 and still being put together.

andijones

I shall contact Mr. Burton & request some information.

Cheers FUD

The basic engine design is the same, but there are differences internally, ceramic coating on the ringlands and other internal materials have been refined. And obviously the intercooler has had a complete redesign.

still unreliable crap, withdrawn form sale in some countries now due to impending law suits

you live for these posts don't you That's the engine in previous models as you well know you trolling ****, the one in the 2015 is still an unknown quantity.

fat-thomas

iTrader: (4)

no its not its the same bloody crap pistoned turd as the previous one

i see the jdm cars still use the 2.0 though

bioforger

iTrader: (1)

How can it be exactly the same when internally changes were made? are you retarded?

fat-thomas

iTrader: (4)

no i didnt buy a 2.5

quite honestly i like the look of the new car but the pathetic engine reliability ruins it.

BIG FUD

iTrader: (84)

I had the beliefs it was the block halfes them selves rather than the internals as i done 4 engines all 2.5 all had up rated everything pistons rods gaskets ect ect but the block always either lifted the heads or twisted the block.

The reason i ask is would love one and use the block to make a great build think one of these with a set up and engine and box in would be amazing

What about the new STi Type-S which uses the 2.0 Twinscroll setup instead? Which we won't be getting!

Indeed it would make for an awesome roadcar, mine only has 340bhp, but its a quick quick car (well not by your standards probably ) mostly due to the improved handling.

andijones

Hmm I detect a note of sarcasm

Such a shame the thread started out as pics of a version of a popular motor vehicle but opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one !

I am just the same and I like mine & my previous one as well as other peoples

No frustration John is a busy guy, but when i keep asking and i keep getting the same reply, it becomes a bit of a worry. 1 month to order a touchup stick? cmon

Don Clark

Last time I ordered a touch up stick from my dealers they supplied a bottle/brush combo from a UK auto paint supplier.

I maybe wrong, but i got the feeling IM no longer import the genuine "touchup paint sticks".

NormantheDog

Why not go straight to parts?

andijones

Must be nice being so busy & popular. I did the going direct to parts route to get the mats.

terzoscooby

Where did you get this info from?

bioforger

iTrader: (1)

NASIOC, someone had ripped one apart to see what was what.

bioforger

iTrader: (1)

John would have done it via parts on my behalf, well i hope he has.

Also there's other reasons why the paint was needed in the 1st place, which i mentioned to you in a PM, but don't want to bring up on here as i know John is working on a resolution, although i've not heard anything from him for weeks.

bioforger

iTrader: (1)

ah ok that might explain it then. Why the dealer hasn't told me this i don't know :s

NormantheDog

John has told me Subaru have resolved the issue but he is trying to see what they offer those that have 'suffered'
If I was you I would contact parts and when they ask for payment tell them to speak to John as he will sort it out later but you are right he is well snowed under at the moment!
