Default Massive thanks to Fiestaboy

Picture the scene...

7pm Saturday night, snow lying on the ground and the temperature hovering around freezing, Rich (fiestaboy) arrives to map the power fc on my fresh import V3 sti RA. Det cans and wideband fitted we fire her up only to discover a (self inflicted ) timing issue.

20 mins later and the cars in bits, timing belt off then re-fitted and running spot on in 45 mins total All by torchlight

Eventually finished mapping at about 11pm.

Service above and beyond I'm sure you'll all agree,

so to Fiestaboy, for all your mapping, servicing, engine building and all things Subaru
