Hello New Member - Sort Of
Hi There
I dont own a subaru but my father in law has just bought a very nice 2 door Type R which he picks up this week.
I am more a nissan guy and have has a few skylines and 300zx's and am on my latest project 300zx at the moment which is nearly finished and due to be mapped by Steve @ TEG in a few weeks
So thought i'd best post on here as no doubt i will need some help as i will be doing some work on the car when he gets it
He wants a HKS bov fitting (posted in the wanted section) unless someone can suggest any better bov?? also the car has 2 nice apexi gauges but there not wired up so again any help on where the best place to splice into the illumination wiring and a good boost source for the boost gauge would be helpful.
Anyway more details and pics/spec of my car are on my site www.kirbz-zed.co.uk and will post up pics of his when he pics it up
Many thanks
Mike

Yes, I know Graham. In fact I was there on Saturday and Im popping down this Sat coming to get a couple of replacement alloys fitted.
I have a Type R like Grahams (well actually, a slighty newer one).
