17. Mapping.....If you are lucky enough to own a Subaru built between the years 1992 and 2013 then you really have a special model. The clever boffins at Subaru fitted these model years with a self learning ecu.

So........

When asking for advice about what effect your latest engine mod will have on the factory map and someone "know it all" says it needs mapping he is talking out of his arse. The ecu will sort it all out for you with the self learning mode which is easily activated by......

1.Turn on ignition
2. Selecting all gears(clutch pedal half way)starting in reverse and working backwards from 5th/6th to 1st
3. Rest mileometer

Its really that easy and should put a stop to "which mapper is best" style threads..:thumb:

The only way to combat the 2.5 exploding is to have it built the way it should have been to begin with.

Proper bloody engine it is too :D

My advice to any newbie thinking of posting would be not to bother until you've been a member for at least ten years & even then expect to be treated harshly if you post the wrong thing.

Hope this helps & good luck.

Hey that's a little unfair, this thread is trying to help them become fine and upstanding members of the community, fastracking them to expert status if you like :D

14. Newbies ensure that you realise how massively inferior all UK models are compared to JDM cars

We are not worthy of rear wiper blades and twin scroll turbos :sleep:

What do you mean "rear wiper blades" ?
Either I've been done or someone's nicked them.

(Oh, and how do tell if your turbo really is a twin scroll ?)

OK, who's hacked his account.... that post is way too short to be the real LWC. Or has he had a 'Eureka' moment and realised succinct is good after all? ;)

Nothing says welcome to the site like being told your car is shi7 and to use the search function.

Expect your car to blow up or break down every time its dynoed or a new part is fitted
Always remember once you have finished (ruining) sorry tuning your Subaru that its value has plummeted as its no longer original
Now its finished and your bored its time to sell it on...or in reality its time to split it into 1000 pieces and sell parts for the next eleventeen years

AWD will compensate for the Linlong Ditchfinders especially if they are fitted on extra wide wheels.
