Thumbs up FB Tuning strikes again....

Evening all , just wanted to say hi and thank Rich @ FB Tuning for...

Mapping session , car inspection & lots of free advice.
I've been adviced by a good friend of mine on here to see Rich and all i can tell , he is a really great @ what he does.... I'm new on scooby scene so my first subaru/tuning experience was amazing. My car is UK blob 03 , was bog standart when i bought it few months ago. Here is a mod list since then...




Japspeed downpipe (heatwrapped)
Fujitsubo Legalis Super R De Cat System
Walbro fuel pump
HKS mashroom intake
Work Forged lightweight wheels (not fitted yet , need tyres)
EBC Yellow pads

The car feels so much more responsive and pulls like a train , compared to how it was before is a day and night now...... I'm definitely coming back for more work there and would recomend anyone to do so .So once again Thanks to
FB Tuning

Can't recommend Rich enough He sourced me my new short block in less than 12 hours of chatting to him about what I wanted! he also sourced the gaskets to freshen the engine and he's going to help do it & he's also fitting my 6 speed box and he's also mapped both mine and my sisters cars and done a lot more!

He's properly passionate about the cars and he knows them inside out

I haven't got too far because I've been busy I've got a FMIC, ported and polished sti 3 heads, low mileage 2005 sti short motor (2.0), ARP head bolts, Nismo 740cc injectors, 1.1mm Cosworth head gaskets & all of the gaskets to rebuild the heads and the 6 speed box so far. Still need a turbo though

I just need Rich to find time to fit the gearbox for me then we'll look at building the engine

Would you be the guy I met on Saturday then with the synchro issue. If so I see Rich managed to work his magic again

Though he was running low on sugar when I was there

Yes Swiss Tony that was me , I assume that was you in the sport? His suggestion for some redline lightweight shockproof gear oil sorted the problem , fingers crossed it wont return.

Rich has worked magic on my car a couple of times now and always pleased with the result.
