  1. The American cars will be tuned to run on their grade/quality of petrol and atmospheric conditions. Obviously the lower octane rating, the greater chance of knocking... and I think knocking can lead to ringland failure(?), which is something the 2.5's are known for. I still think getting your car mapped would be a good idea, at least then it will be tuned specifically for the petrol etc. Obviously using 99 RON is the best idea
  2. Those wheel nuts don't really suit the standard WRX wheels.. they stick out quite far
  3. Not all of them no, some are just a big bolt like the oil sump. Best just jack it up and have a look!
  4. I get over 50mpg in my wife's 1.3 Yaris... it also takes around 3 days to get to 60!
  5. Best way to make your car feel even faster... drive something slow for a few days then go back to your scoob!!
  6. Might have to do more hunting for 99 octane then @Seminole81
  7. Do it!!
  8. Yeh, then I think you will need to get the STI scoop as I don't think the STI undertray fits under the WRX scoop
  9. Remember that American cars will probably have a different tune on them. Might be a good idea to get it on a rolling road to get it checked and maybe tweaked/tuned
  10. Hahahaha!! Bet that hit you in the baws hard XD
  11. V-power and Tesco 99 is the best as it's the highest octane rating, should be OK with 97...
  12. Where can you get it from? How much is it?
  13. Glad to hear it! I would expect you should get no less than 250 per tank, less if you hoon it everywhere. I was averaging 260-280 when i first got mine, then once i settled down and got used to the car, consistently get over 300 miles
  14. ooooh that looks nice... I'm not a huge fan of the low level spoiler either... but don't want to go full STI spoiler
  15. Got quite a big MPG thread on the go... I would expect, if you can drive it sensibly once you have gotten used to the car, around the 300 miles to a tank mark. To help things, I would fire some redex fuel additive to a couple of full tanks to help clean out the fuel system, this can help power and efficiency.
  16. I removed my resonator and left it as is... had zero issues in the 2 years that i've been running it like this
  17. Get the oil from Opie oils as you will get a club discount using code: SUBOC
  18. Fully debadged... people will probably think you're running a non-turbo... then you can surprise them :D
  19. 2.5l engines are more likely... but it's a big stretch saying that they all need done. The 2l lump is very reliable if properly maintained
  20. Yup, black looks a lot nicer!
  21. Sandals replied to quit's topic in Subaru Parts Wanted
    And I stole that picture from the original advert

    I'm pretty sure I originally beat Matt to these the first time XD
  23. Or battery in fob is dying?
  24. Mods are strange, insurance companies don't mind some but flat out reject others... I wouldn't get covered coz of my dump valve and STI intercooler... Flux insured me no problem and at a very good price as well
  25. It was nice of them to give it a wee clean before sending it to you.........
