Thanks for the feedback guys.
I've had it since the beginning of April, it's caught me out a few times, I like having most of the power going through the back wheels much to the terror of my mate. It's a fair jump from a 1.6L Astra, to a 2L Turbo Impreza!!!

How long has it been in the country the first thing to do is just make sure your running the correct fuel and has the car's ECU been mapped ?
Now before anyone say's I'm trying to spend your money there are a couple of things just to be aware of then it's happy motoring.
Standard air box still ?

It's been in the UK since 2000, it had an API rebuild a few years ago after the oil pump clapped out. It still has the standard air box, although I have a Blitz panel filter ready to go in, this is all being done on friday when it's having an Apexi Power FC Commander fitted and is being mapped by my mate Anthony of Indigo-GT.com in Merthyr. I've recently had them give the car a full service, had all the fluids changed and timing belt, fan belt ect.
Anthony of Indigo rings a bell
was that the guy with the Evo that came to a few meets?

sometimes these car's take a lot more to run properly than people realise... nice to see a sound set up.... looks like you have found yourself a good one
