Welcome along mate, and the first of the new shape to come along

Car looks good, I was impressed by the STI when I was in one at the McRae gathering. I'm guessing yours has been lowered too

im kinda in a dilemma about that......i do need the updated reflash and being that i have a US model they wont flash my car......and im pretty sure that the US and UK motors are identical.....so if anyone can help me out i'd owe you a bunch.....

but if subaru dont do the reflash im plan on gettin a ACCESSPORT.....we'll see.....but thanks for all the kind welcomes, hopefully i'll meet the rest of you guys at the meets and stuff.....and thanks for the comments on the rims.....but i really like the prodrive gc010e 18x9.5

were you out sat M444GY???

Give him a call m8 about the reflash or map, it's weird why they can't do it for your car....

If it's running a US map isn't it set for lower grade fuel anyway, so it'll be no different to running a UK WRX, set to run 95 ron unleaded on 99 ron v-power? If that's the case you shouldn't damage it and instead will some improvements. Clearly a remap will get the best of the better fuel, and JGM can probably give you even more

If you want to do any engine mods I would consider:

-3" Exhasut system with sports cat or keep current exhaust system & try & replace cat/cats with sports ones
-3 Port boost solenoid for better mapping
-K&N panel filter or intake

& then remap to give a more fuel efficent/more powerful & torquier car
ps as John says if its a US model then its mapped for 95 Ron fuel then theoretically there shouldnt be a problem of running lean at any revs. But I would only put 99RON fuel in to help this.

Also if you really wanted to increase power even more with a more aggresive map, then it would be better to uprate the pistons.

Across in the US most fuel is 91 RON increasing to 93 RON for SUL and 95 RON for V-Power

But then again it only costs about a £1.50 a gallon

i plan on gettin filter and exhaust and maybe the boost controller.....lol, aint ready to rebuild a new motor yet.....

but like JonMc said US spec cars are based map off of 91 octane......which is off of Cali standards.....but if i get the accessport i'd be able to buy maps tuned for 93 octane and fine tune from there.....hopefully i get everything sorted by this summer......

Ideally you want to run at least a 95 ron map as that is the lowest grade fuel you can get across here. Tesco 99 and V-power both run at 99 octane so if you get a remap with that you'll see some nice power increases. I'm sure there'll be an accessport map for those grades

Cheers Bud, I'll have to have a closer look at yours sometime, I'm not a big fan of the WRX, but the new hatch STi is quite good looking in my opinion
