Is that your new car Pete

Do you live in a high rise

Ive always started my car with the clutch pressed down.I think that's just habit though lol

We have had a **** load of hail stone here this evening in Manchester

One graph measures bhp and torque and I think the other was lambda and fueling I think

It was like I gained something in one hand like the car being safe and lost in the other hand with the dodgy ecu lol.**** happens and im looking forward to going back.I will get the graphs up and ive got a short video.Its not the best video I must admit but you get the idea lol.Andy carr is **** hot at what he does

Well where do I start lol.I left Manchester in plenty of time to find there was an accident on the M60 sat still for 1/2hr (7.30am) this was.Eventually I get to the M6 to find another accident and then they closed lanes down to 2 lanes.I was getting frustrated.I texted Andy carr to let him no I was gonna be a bit late out of respect.I got there at 10am and Andy was mapping an Evo 3 from the isle of man.I got on the rollers about 12ish.Things started well Andy removed my Ecu to fit one with the mafless and launch control set up.Andy plugged it in and off it went.About 15-20mins into the car didn't want to no it turned out it was a dodgy ecu which was supplied to Andy.From what I can gather Andy orders lots of ecus at a time and I happened to get the faulty one.It coming up with a knock fault which was an error on the software.Andy tried his best and couldn't get it to work.So my ecu went back in and Andy did a rolling road run on it.With all the mods fitted to my Forester and Andy didn't touch my ecu just checked it,it made a heathly 215.8 hp for just bolting bits on lol I have got a nice curve on the graph as well.Andy looked quiet annoyed because of the dodgy ecu supplied so I couldn't continue.I wasn't charged for the time on the rolling rd either which was very nice of him.The ecu that Andy tried using he is gonna check it on another 99-00 to see what the problem is and Andy is gonna ring me in the next couple of days to sort something out.Andy has offered to come to Manchester to when the ecu is ready and stick a base map on the forester then arrange to go back to Teg sport to have it mapped.I think to be honest I will just go back up there and have it done in one go.Andy was a real gentleman and I look forward to having it finished.But the bolt on mods was fine and drives spot on and didn't need a map! this was checked properly just to clear that up.How ever I will be back in for the mapping as soon as possible proberly in the next 3 weeks when Andy is free :) I will post a graph up after ive had my tea

I kind of got my car mapped lol

Washed The Forester for tomorrows mapping

Same sort of set up like this

At the time I don't no.It was a drug dealers car I was working on.It had a little small roof on top the interior was black and the whole car was white with these big massive ariels hanging from both sides of the car at the back lol

The Jap box was bigger as I remember.The one I did was on an M plate

I don't no what to hope for to be honest lol.As long as it runs straight I will be more than happy.I will get a dyno print out afterwards

Got the beast washed for tomorrow.Im looking forward to it even though its really expensive to have done

I had this problem when doing my clutch.I had to remove the bar that slides in side the gearbox to hold the clutch fork.The shake the gearbox and bobs your uncle and fannys your aunt and all that lol.Ive done a clutch before on a Subaru jap import in 2000 and the gearbox was well heavy compared to the uk model

Dump valve adaptor piece for top mount intercooler.£10 posted

Hope this helps adam.My photo bucket is playing up

What sort of mpg do you get on your Subaru at 265bhp

It really is that easy
