Do you get a 4g connection on mobile broadband? I get a higher speed on my phone than sky fiber provides.

Ive got both #smugasfuck

0-60 are always sceptical but that's the power of a wrx

Possibly. I do nurse the old girl and she ain't a daily anymore. Always carrying the boys doesn't help. Don't think the 2 month olds head would stay on if I gave it WOT

That budget is reasonable. Standard cars are thin on the ground now. That insurance I think is the best you'll get so avoid imports. Check with specialist insurers like flux and Kieth Micheals. Modifying a car on 100k miles could be fine. It all depends on the health and the life the cars had. I'm on 173k with a few mods and remap since April 2015 with no issues. Just bare in mind the insurance premium for a modified car. Services are frequent but in your best interest. I do an oil change every 3k miles. I average 25mpg with a combination of motorway and spirited b roads.

Feel for you Geoff. Had that happen a little while back. Do you still have those original clips on it?

Look for a Subaru specialist rather than a Subaru dealer. It's a minefield of course but you'll pay less labour.

That works to some extent but once the train fills a bit more they won't hesitate to move it themselves...might try that. Leave my bag on the chair that doesn't have a seat [emoji23]

What fuel do you use?

My new trick on the train is to remove the seat next to me an hide it so no-one can sit next to me 😂😂

Nice one! Thank you very much. I didn't realise stants had a bow tie on.

Any CEL?

Decat will increase power but comes with risks before map. It makes the turbo spool quicker too.

All classics can be mapped. Some need esl boards and others can be mapped using ecutek software. If you are fitting a decat downpipe be careful of overboost. The gauge will be your saviour if you're adamant on fitting a decat. Increasing boost without a map can cause fueling issues. Running rich can cause bore wash and thin your oil. Running lean will cause excess heat in the chambers which could lead to cracking. The boost will be less controllable and possibly spike rather than progressive increase. As a general guide the decat is usually left until the week of a remap for safety.

Buy a classic and turn it into an animal 😈

Boost gauge will tell you how civil the boost is. The other two saloons could've been imports, could've been modified. Easy ways to gain grunt are first steps really. Exhaust and intake.

Keep your old exhaust and if it's too bad then you can always revert back to stock.

Sod em. I used mine daily and got a letter from the council because I leave at 6am. After a chat the council sided with me and no further action 😂😂

Being a gx I presume you have equal length exhaust manifold? Changing that to unequal will give you a true burble. As for volume you'd need to open up the system. Either remove a box, smaller box or bigger pipe work.

What year model are you looking at?

If the belt hasn't been done it'd be top of the list. An 8 year old belt despite miles will be aging and possibly show signs of perishing.

hmm, tough call I'll convince you. £40 a day for parking, £10 or whatever it is now for congestion charge per day plus fuel and you barely do over 20mph stop start for 30 mile. Plus all that takes almost 2 hours [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]

First thought is no because the wiring loom(possibly) and ecu will be different. Not sure to what extent.

Pro tip - don't drive in the dark [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]

Passes the time when you're stuck on a train for over an hour. You wouldn't want to drive the scoob in and out of London each day.
