Got to take some pics of new car today, my first Subaru, what a fantastic car, gets lots of attention, and what an awesome
engine and exhaust note :)

Car Spec:
06 plate WRX
Fully Forged Engine built by TDR
Currently running 313bhp
Miltek Catback 3 inch exhaust
VF43 Turbo
Decat Down Pipe
STi Top Mount Intercooler
Competition Clutch Stage 2 and Lightweight Flywheel

Future Mods:

Pagid Brake Pads, to replace the squealing Ferodo DS2500, they are not great
Racing Lines uprated fuel pump
Bob Rawle remap
Front splitter
Tein Flex Z coilover kit
3 gauge pod kit
Zunsport front grille set

Regards

Marc :)

looks nice mate. how does it drive with the VF43? 313bhp sounds quite low for a VF turbo? Unless it's a very conservative safe map.

About time you got some pics up. Looks really clean mate, get those headlight backgrounds painted black for a more stealthy look.

How do you mean mate? What part of the headlight backgrounds? :)

It drives really nicely with the VF43, spools up very quick, and in fifth gear its really torquey, really needs a sixth gear :)

Yes, I think it may of had a map within the gearbox limits, but the power does come in with one big hit at just above 3k rpm, very aggressively, that's why I am
going to get a live map done, across the whole rev range :thumb:

The car wasn't exactly clean when I took the photo's, looking forward to some nice days, to polish
and wax the car, going to give the snow foam a try :)

have you got a graph you can post up?

Headlights like mine buddy

Here is the graph of remap :)

good amount of torque that is mate

See your headlights fella from your photo, but how did you do it, was it easy, guess have to pull headlight lens apart, what paint do you use? :)

mine were already done mate..............thank god lol.

From what I've read it's a headlight in the oven job then split/paint/put back together.

Yes, to be honest I am not sure what to do about remap, just been told I should be getting alot more and evenly
across rev range? :)

Hmm, have to see mate, have to do some reading up about it :thumb:

Here is my vf43 2.5

Nice :) I should be getting better then, your remap curve looks alot different to mine, but understand
you have a six speed box being STi :thumb:

different mods, different dyno, different mapper and different car mate lol

Perhaps the previous owner wanted to play it safe and asked for it to be mapped around the 315bhp area

Yes, understand every car is different lol :)

That's what I am thinking mate regarding the remap, especially as the guy that owned the car had already paid out for the engine
rebuild beforehand :)

What boost are you running? You could always ring thwaites and ask them about the bhp.

I really don't know the boost mate? What's the best way to find out, sorry being a novice lol :)?

Good call regarding calling Thwaites regarding the bhp, will find out more info :thumb:

Yeah just ring and ask them, they are helpful guys. They will tell you what boost its running. It will be on another graph mate

Thankyou for the heads up mate :) Shall call them tomorrow, and let you know what they say :thumb:

Spoke to Tony at Thwaites today, he found the car okay, but said he can't find out the boost from a graph, because he said it would
of been remapped on there old analogue dyno, and they now have an electronic one. He did say the engine work and remap where
done for a company called Anderson Motor Vehicles based in Luton, I looked them up and they do sell quality cars, but not many.

He did say the car should be running about 350bhp with the mods done, but said maybe the customer asked for it to be limited safe,
as you have said. Nice guy, and offered for Mark to look at the car again, and would charge for just a remap tweak. Not really sure
what to do as I have spoken to Bob Rawle about live mapping the car with the Ecuteck software. :)

personally I would use thwaites, they built it so makes sense for them to map it

Yes, I think that is the better idea, and will be cheaper for me, will get the car booked in :thumb:

Car is booked in with Thwaites to have a remap tweak in April :)

Bought some NGK Iridium IX spark plugs, having new brake pads fitted soon, along with a Racing Lines uprated fuel pump, and just purchased a
Cosworth panel filter to fit. Just about to buy some Blob eye rear light cluster set from Matty, all good stuff, car needs a good clean at the weekend too :thumb:

Black Hawkeye's look so good https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/thumb.gif Give it a proper polish and get that deep mirror shine on it for the summer! What pads are you going with?
