It will look nice in the red

Tony havent been on for a while and just seen the thread good luck with your new purchase but that statement ......this car wouln't be going on track I think is a bit premature knowing you.......I will give it 6 months before you get the itch :)

Ay concerns about going to the 2.5 after having a jdm 2.0? I know you'll have warranty but I think I'd have bought another jdm, that way when you decide to track it you have to worry.

Nice car lucky boy :thumb:

The main reason (and contrary to popular belief) is that you cannot disable the VDC. The 3 modes you can select merely alter the point at which the VDC activates so even in it's least intrusive mode it is still active. Not too much of an issue for a road car unless in really extreme circumstances but for a rally car on gravel it's downright dangerous!

That's the basics of it but as I don't want to thread jack, for any interested parties I will shortly be updating my journel on the hatch forum with further info and where I've got to in the search for a fix.

Cheers, Neil.

Nice one Tony ,get a big spoiler looks lush on the red car

Very nice Tony:thumb: I give it 6 months till it ends up on track:D

others are metallic


I'd have thought they would only need to re-calibrate the steering racks encoder in the ECU??

edited because just read Neil Rhieds Post :cool:

Tony

like it! what are the performance figures on those babys?

:thumb: nice choice tony , i do like these

Nope this car may not even have the T5NYW plate on it ;) that maybe fitted later to something I can play with :cool:

James
yes I'm going to miss my Type 20 the 2.0ltr is nearly is nearly indestructable, it's in the for sale section ;)

the hatch 2.5ltr has had it's problems most believe a contributing factor being poor programming with the Brand new wide band ECUs with Vari quad cam timming, FBW trottle and 3 programs.

Mike wood has programed the new 320R's ECU so well happy on that front and it probalby never be tracked so wont be ever be too stressed.

my main worry will be the £440 tax a year :brickwallnow I'm unemployed :p

Glen Not going to say never but i do like it without :thumb:

Tony

Congrats on your purchse Tony! :thumb: But as Rob84 said, the quick rack won't work with the factory electronics as i've found out the hard way by swapping out the factory rack for a JDM 13:1 when the car was 6 months old and messing up with roll connector and VDC. The problem was well like what Rob84 said. :o

Very nice. I saw one in a showroom when I bought my hawkeye a few months back. Looks amazing in photos but even nicer in the flesh :)

I don't know much about them other than standard they come with 300bhp (thats what the dealer said), so assume your 320R is a special edition with 320 bhp?

Are you sure the tax is 440 and not higher? My hawkeye is £254 for six months. Never asked what the annual cost was but assumed it to be about £470-500, as I know they have yet again increased it. It is rediculous especially as they do nothing to fix potholes and the road surface, or worse yet, leave that loose gravel stuff and use our cars to flatten it all down instead of using proper tarmac and steam rollers like they used to, which lasts.

I bet the wait is going to kill you lol. Any modifications planned other than the suspension? Exhaust?

Yes modded after 23 mile. LOL Anew suspension

Gratz on the purchase m8, im 8k in on mine and its great

the 320R is a cosworth remap, and the marketing drive subaru do with the STI, i missed this opp :( im fighting it though

The stage 2 coming soon i unknown but i hazard a guess at 340 350

That just looks pure nasty i like it alot ...

Red aint bad either tony..

You mad Tony? Engines are foobared aren't they :confused:

TX.

Black does look mean :thumb::thumb:

it is the 320R ;) so map much better IMHO and Tme will tell as this car will only be my shopping and holiday Car ;)

It will be like my other old UK cars, only Dealer fitted parts that will retain the 3 year Warranty :D

I will really miss the quick rack and 8Krpm though

Tony

I had a look at one of these at Knockhill, really liked it. Looked very good :)

prob been pasted before but looking good

does anyone have a graph thingy of the 300 vs the 320R or the stats increase, i know the 0-62 drops to 4.8 but what about torque n LB/FT

That car Higgins was driving is not a 320R spec though.
It was remapped by Alan Jeffery, so probably around 350bhp with similar torque

ooo Naughty it says diff on that post

Id ask Alan to comment but i bet he was sworn to secracy

But if not Alan, did it feel a lot diff once youd tinkered ?

I know -Subaru are trying to make out that its a bog standard 305ps car.
But in reality, its remapped to run race fuel, full rally spec exhaust, rally suspension etc
And I'd say Alan was made to sign an NDA

These are great looking cars, it looks good in the red!

I agree

Would Alans cousins Auties Dog like to comment ?

ENGINEMAPPER :brickwall

dunx

OK - Fair enough

Regardless though, it was remapped

Thanks. I just wanted to be different as most others have home to plasma blue. I've had four blue scoobs ;)
