  1. It's not just Subaru most if not all manufacturers don't care about tpms coding in the computer. They assume that customer will pay money to dealers to sort these things out ;) I got lucky with my dealer, I never asked them since I already ordered equipment, but they were kind enough to sort it out anyways. Makes a difference when dealership owner is a true car nut :D
  2. Oh, just be mindful, that sensors go to sleep mode after extended period of time without any activity, so after you swap back to summer tyres it's possible that tpms will be sleeping.
  3. Hi, I have equipment to sort you out ;) bought it before I swapped my wheels to some OZ Racing. Never used it though as my dealer done it for free :D I'm happy to help you out if needed to scan the tpms ids and coding them into car's computer. But since I never used it I would be learning how to :) the coding into computer bit is easy, just the scanner is new to me ;) give me a shout. Though I'm in London and just noticed you are 180miles away :D
  4. That was one of the points of the bonnet :) To contrast from cars colour ;) And quick release catches are there to stay, unless I like two holes in carbon fibre :D and without them there is a chance that bonnet will decide one day to just open up at high speeds and transform my windshield into some lovely mosaic ;)
  5. £4-5k probably, though I never counted and have no desire to do that ;) I will probably go with CF rear spoiler and new wheels and that will be all of the major changes ;)
  6. Well, £1.2k later, yes :D Not a prefect fit though, needs adjustments ;)
  7. Had a privilege to participate in some weekend events: https://flic.kr/s/aHskZCASdT Oakley's Prom. Boy had life threatening syndrome couple of years back. Was great seeing him and everyone around him smiling and freaking out with Scooby convoy :D very proud of turn out. Had only couple of hours head start. Subaru family did not disappoint :) Second event was in Essex. Essex Scooby Crew leader's private plate presentation get together. Everyone pitched in, and we bought her the number plate. Well worth the drive :) https://flic.kr/s/aHsm4xxh4N
  8. That is mostly weird :/ Never had any issues with traction (even with traction control off in wet) or torque steer (unless I'm holding the wheel like a gangsta single hand and hit the pot hole while accelerating). Car feels like it should feel with scoobies 4 wheel drive. I hope yours is not locked dif for some reason :D It is very easy to push to 1.23+ with SPort Sharp, traction control off and dry tarmac even at these hot conditions.
  9. Minus is rear wheels getting power. So flip the toggle back. And its easy to test it out :D Which ever wheels are spinning then you are hooning that will be an answer :D By the way, just came back from the meet, where one of the guys with 64 plate my shape clocked in 1.29 of boost :D
  10. The only horror story is hard locking it. You can always set it to give most power to rear wheels, though it will never give 100% to rear and 0% to front. As far as I know that won't harm anything as well :)
  11. With Cosworth filter I did not see any change, though there might be, since it is picking up more air. And that wooshy sound, is epic :D I got it from subispeed.com with other bits and bobs. There is some UK etailers who list it, but they charge an arm and a leg :)
  12. I wouldn't say its vicious for me, though mine is 2017 ME, so they might have adjusted bits and pieces as they always do. I only feel the torque steer when I hit the pot hole while accelerating hard, but its nothing major and once on the smooth enough road, don't have torque steer at all. Besides, torque steer should be still present in 4 wheel drive car, until computer picks up and fixes it.
  13. Standard STIs manage 1.27 max I think. Met someone at one meet, who actually clocked in 1.27 in Germany. It just depends on the person's desire to flatfoot the car :D I can't do it, due to mental roadblocks, which bit by bit I'm overcoming, thus increased boost numbers :D I always accelerate with 40% of pedal pushed only :D Once it catches boost, RPM just shoot up so quick, that I can't shift fast enough :D :D But I practice :D
  14. Squealing indicates of brake pad wear. Or some defect in the pad itself. If the brakes have been changed before maybe they messed up installation of new pads. Very easy to do that with brembos and inexperienced fitters ;) I don't have this noise, but I have clicking noise when I'm parking. That clicking noise is due to pads sliding inside the holding bracket or whatever you call it. Braking performance is still top notch. By the way, did you chip yours after the catback and intake? Usually that's advisable as those two mods are considered as ones which already require a tune ;)
