The 340r had problems when in sport # but ok in Sport. I was told issue was with tumbler valve programming Car produced 341bhp in sport and 299bhp in sport sharp. I cannot divulge how it was fixed as I signed a confidentiality agreement Tony I must admit that I very rarely drove in S , normally in 'I' round the doors and 'S#' when I needed something extra I guess as a 'safe" subaru approved generic map , it ticks some boxes above standard but just felt altogether lacklustre,ok but not exactly inspiring I can recall some of your earlier posts and issues around the pack but its interesting the issues between the S and S# modes Appreciate your discretion , and to be fair at the time my car was still under warranty and on standard internals so the PRO R pack was an acceptable compromise. I was under the impression that the PRO R system was produced by Scorpion and as a stainless 304 system it must disappointing that it has failed after such a relatively short period. Cheers Matt |

I was under the impression that the PRO R system was produced by Scorpion and as a stainless 304 system it must disappointing that it has failed after such a relatively short period. Cheers Matt My car in sport # straight after engine starts. It's never seen I mode My car was a 320r and went really well. So I Bought and upgraded it as soon as 340r pack out. Car sounded much better but Fuel consumption was then dreadful. Notice that it wasn't pulling as well as did before. I had done one dyno run but in sport and that was 340bhp 👍 so though it was me. My mate with black 340R having same issues. We made many attempts to get it addressed with dealers & pro R but was fobbed off. Dealers were great to be honest they were let down by pror IMHO we took to a rolling road but mine was 299bhp his was 294bhp. He was VERY %%%%%%% off. He then went down legal routes. ProR to there's and his up to RCM and rolling road to fix but pror couldn't get his or my mates to achieve anything over 305bhp. He had on finance So it was classed as a lemon. they bought his car off him and sold him a cossie Bought mine cash so struggled to get mine fixed. Eventually got SUBARU to agree to take it to an independent expert and he fixed it. But I cannot name who under confidentiality agreement. I was told that something the tumbler valve were operating during sports# when they shouldn't be. This fault explanation may not be 100% correct but sounded feasible to me. Car certainly went better. My fuelling map was not altered or tweaked although it was very very rich. He said he will remap it after warranty up. Tony |
85k on a 320r and not a single problem with the engine. Shame about the body! Tin worm everywhere. Also a recall on brake pipes.
Really disappointing IM got you to sign a confidentiality agreement Tony. I suspect it was really a no shop agreement as it is difficult to believe what they did was confidential. They just didn't want to admit there was a problem. The turbo maxes out at 345bhp so anyone with figures above that has been on a uncalibrated dyno or an adjusted figure. |

I am indeed pal, sold the RS when I seen the STI advertised with a dealer from Burton, will put a few pics up when I get her back from the garage as its having a bottom line kit fitted and other things painted, but its a 2011 STI in Black with the following spec..
Year/Reg: 2011 (11) Mileage: 19,100 Engine size: 2.5L Fuel type: Petrol Gearbox: Manual Body style: Saloon Colour: Black
I've had X 3 RS's now and loved them, had the CP400 pack put on two of them and they where one hell of a car and drive, but when I went and test drove the STI, well all I can say is I smiled all the way home, and the RS was sold the next day......:D:D Looking forward to driving it over the summer months now.....:thumb::thumb: Cheers Hughy |
Where do I need to look to see if I have the subwoofer in my 2012 car? And can Pro R parts still be bought from the dealer for these?
Does anyone else find their steering annoyingly light sometimes? Tony, how have you found that exhaust system you bought? |

In regards to the steering, it is light but you get used to it and it does have enough feel. I tried the 2015 model and found the steering very heavy in comparison. |

I am sure I don't have the sub though and that bothers me massively! Am I likely to have the wiring for it already? |

So in the boot area? Is it covered over or clearly visible? I don't have one if it's the latter. But that model number being printed on the grille may make it easier to find one :thumb:

You would notice if you have it :D it covers the slope behind the rear seat on the floor.

Ah! Cheers guys. Is it a dramatic improvement to have it? I can imagine if you like music then yes, it is.
I must have one. Wife doesn't agree currently..... :lol1: |

http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulle...new-wheel3.jpg Cheers Hughy Used to be the AVIC-F920BT now an AVIC-F950BT :) Would check out the wiring behind the unit to make sure they've connected the amplifier feed to the powered aerial output (blue to blue/white wires) |
Have any of you guys fitted new steering rack bushes? I did on my old Blob. I've seen some bushes from Whiteline but they're not the same thing.

http://scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/pro...oducts_id=2882 Different setup to previous. Requires removal of X-member support plate for access. Download Whiteline install guide here........... http://www.whiteline.com.au/docs/ins...des/Z311-B.pdf |
Worth doing though? Probably another thing I'll have to wait for after the warranty ends.

Up to KT Green for some exhaust gaskets tomorrow possibly. Anyone know if you have to get specific ones for the Pro R setup?
