2015sti

Hi all , thought I would pop on and say hi and see how many of you lot have the new sti.


the Subaru forum uk seem quite dead really.


this is my first Subaru and I am enjoying it so far , picked it up 4 weeks ago with 5 miles on and she now has 600 I think.


any one been modding yet ?

Heres a link to the original thread. there are a fair few of us on here.

Ive had mine 6 months and done nearly 11k miles in her and loved every single one

Ive had it mapped and just looking for a new exhaust to make it a bit louder

2015sti

yeah I do find the exhaust not a bit to refined.


what do you think of the remap ? u feel the Scooby doesn't feel overly fast as standard ?

togsy86

It has got louder the longer ive had it. About 8k it started to burble and it is quite loud under load. Just a bit too refined on idle thats why i want something a bit louder

I havent been in a standard car, test drive was a modded car so i wanted mine to be as well so i dont know how fast the standard car feels although the claim is standard 0-60 is 5.2 and mapped is 4.4 so should make a fair difference

2015sti

yeah I can imagin it does a 5.2 but it just feels a bit flat.

Yup i found the standard car too slow and you say a bit flat, especially in 6th, mines mapped as well.

2015sti

yeah I fully agree , it needs a bit more low down grunt for my liking.


do Subaru offer a warrantied map ?

No. 3rd party only, some will offer a warranty with that as part of the deal.... if you're lucky.

2015sti

as I am new to the Scooby world who would you recommend as a tuner ?

Can of worms, opinions vary massively

If you're ok with invalidating your warranty then it depends on your location, but there are plenty of places that will either road or dyno map your car. When i bought mine it was remapped with an extended warranty as part of the package. If i didn't get that in the deal, then i would wait until the subaru warranty has expired before looking at getting it done. Personally i've only used Bob Rawle before for a road mapping session, he's spot on and knows his stuff.

Tidgy

who was offering that chap? Is it still going?

Mangoletsi, i don't know if they are still doing them. Oh and i forgot to send you the graph last night

Tidgy

It kept warranty and added another 2yrs to it! yes absolutely, i wouldn't have bought it from them otherwise.

John,. it was their warranty and not with subaru as far as i remember

bioforger

Correct but it follows the Subaru warranty to the letter.... allegedly

salsa-king

What happens if they go bust or bought out. Would subaru uk still cover it?

bioforger

iTrader: (1)

lol i doubt it, but thats highly unlikely to happen.

Subaru of Nottingham lasted about 12months.

Jesus you are the master of doom Mangoletsi aren't just a subaru dealer and have been trading for near on 40yrs Not that matters, as the warranty is with another company.
