diable Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 From London and new to the forum, signed up as I am looking for more info about Subarus before I take the plunge so any help and advice would be appreacited. I was looking at Legacy's but then a Legacy BP5 JDM Twinscroll import caught my eye, would I be nuts to consider an import and are there any horror stories that I should be aware of. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diable Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Thanks Jay will have a read, will be a bit weird moving from a Lotus Elise. Was thinking something like this. Is there any point in getting a remap done and can the speed limiter be removed or is there no point another thing the Sat Nav are they easy to replace to a UK one?

GeoffLeggy Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Welcome! Good choice! The twinscrolls are superb and wouldnt hesitate myself. That one looks lovely and in white. A map may be worth it depending on how fussed you are about limiter. You don't have to push the power really. Don't recollect seeing any stories 're difficulties on the sat nav. Any good audio place should be able to sort whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Geoff, what are the prices like for a map and what are the benefits apart from removing the limiter? I suppose like with all turbos, oil oil oil check it and change it regularly.

GeoffLeggy Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Depends where you go but £350 upwards I'd say. You can have it mapped to run optimally on our fuel and add a little more like if you wanted. Remember you will want to run on v power ideally or momentum so not cheap to fill up! 100% right, oil oil oil!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diable Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 Thanks again, I am downgrading from 3 cars to 2 and the Legacy will take the place of the Lotus Elise as well as the bog standard Clio, I won't save much on the VED but the parking permit, MOT, insurance should help towards the additional fuel bill also the Lotus has only done 2200 miles in the last year, the Clio 1400 miles and the E30 681 miles which is sad to be honest.

diable Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 Another quick question, is there anyway to reprogram the Sat Nav or the Band on the Stereo or is it a rip out and swap job and what are the recommended units to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffLeggy Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I've not seen it done but I might be wrong in saying it can't be done. Mines an old basic one so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diable Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Thanks again Geoff, looks like some more investigation is needed regarding this or I just whack something else in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 easier to replace the unit - plenty of more modern options with phone compatibility etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diable Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Any pointer Jay was thinking the Apple Car Play rouge but any suggestions would be appreciated. Would also need to get rid of the Macintosh unit. Deposit paid for the car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
