Thanks,you *beep* the bed too Thats a lot better than i have been finding(190 for actual 08v spray ),spoiler off bay of e? Any links please? I am not far from you,any recommendations for the spraying please as can nip your way for work. Thanks again Andy :)

Nice job there,very nice Andy.........gave me a brain !Removed! as a solution when i get a spoiler. Dont suppose you got individual prices for spoiler etc :) Cheers ven

I tend to get around 40 L (fuel already in tank) ,give/take maybe 5L depending............being used to a 92L tank where getting an easy 80L in(fuel in tank reserve like the wrx) it certainly "saves time at the pump" :) From £300- sometimes £400 a month,i now even using super(before just 95 ron) i am putting only £120 -£160ish in tops The subaru costs me £200 a year more to insure(£700 with break down due to false claim against me few years back and lost 14ncb so now at 5ncb) imho =not bad,and a £200 ish a month fuel saving pay rise=good Touch wood,i am very happy in the subaru world :D always liked my Jap cars......... I remember pre shogun,i had a 200sx s14a(great car btw) and it was £40 to brim back then at around £79p ish a litre,travelling at time from Ramsbottom using 95ron,i would fill tank every 5 days(20mile each way,40 mile a day round trip). PS-yes woke up early ffs

And Manchester ....... Well maybe I was not going mad after all,so I am not the only one who has had worse results using nitro ! The comparison was against Texaco super at 97 Ron which does not have any special reputation.... I know the fuel comes from the same refineries,just shell or BP for example add their own additives that can not be found out due to....well others would copy(presuming they did not know mpg goes down lol ). Shells secret recipe !! BP I find ok priced for normal 95ron,but super ,I am yet to find a more expensive fuel! Not tried Tesco ,but then it's no easy task for me ,as none within a reasonable distance ...... That's some jump 4mpg........appears similar to my difference of 3mpg ......something amiss . Cheers ven

never thought!!! will be onto that one,cheers :)

As i always say to others...................all in good time. I regular got compliments on mods,everywhere i went i got asked Qs...........sometimes 1hr conversations which went down well..............not! I joked my truck is more well known than her.............again down well 6k+ of mods I dont expect to spend that again and live i got a lot thrown at me tbh,but knows me getting the wrx to where i want is 1k ,so about how much my boots were on the truck :) I need a down pipe without cat,centre section,re-map and maybe silicon hose for inter cooler..........oh and 3 port. Guess at about a 600 spend,then wheel refurb to a gun metal :) sticking with 17s due to roads and comfort as daily drive. Imagine what i could have B)

My boss has almost give up,she knows me,i like to spend(other bits like cameras n flashlights,helicopters(3d not real) There is $700 of custom triple quad(3x4 XP-L) on solid brass heat sink here 5000 OTF lumens just in case any one is interested :P Thats just 1 light...............i have many many Then mods(ecig)i have many ,many mods/tanks,bellow is a spoiler in money So any questions,i throw that i am saving(yeh right) £250 a month on cigs,£200 a month on fuel(12mpg i was used to) She even said when i got it about getting new rims and maps,loves the sti spoiler etc etc I keep her sweet though,soften the blow a little,after writing 2 cars off in 2 months a 25k(miles not cost :o ) 1 owner (yeh i know its french and goes against everything i stand for.).............but she like it and too good a deal to pass on So i am good to go for mods,trouble is ,it is caravan time soon so holidays etc pennies required Oh best tip is separate accounts and lie about costs..........get delivered stuff to works address ;) ven

Bare in mind mine is not mapped for a specific ron,i used to use 97ron super,moved now for several last tanks(tank lasts 10 days-2 weeks ish) to shell nitro of which i believe 99ron. Its made absolutely no difference in anyway...........or at least noticeable,may run cleaner.........dont know. I got into the habit of working mpg out per tank,knowing the miles done from fill up,then divided litres it took to brim into gallons,then into miles driven. This done maybe 5 or 6 times at least and with nitro,i am under what i was doing on 97ron. Tank wise does vary,but i do fill up at a 1/4,maybe a midges under but well before petrol light comes on(yes does work as tested 1st time to see when comes on,around 1/8th tank). I do know i get 41 miles from brimmed to max line ,i think wow how frugal,then it drops fairly quick from there,more so in the last 1/2. At 1st 24mpg of average driving due to well............imagine having a truck that took 4 weeks to get to 80, so odd *cough* here and there,best is 27mpg recorded. Pretty confident i could see 30mpg if driven more like someone normal Whats the point then :D I pulled in once to my local BP and about to brim with super clocked iirc around £1.40 a few week back,lets just say the flap was shut quick and off i went a few mile out of my way to shell :) Still sticking with nitro now,regardless if in real world use it makes a difference.............sounds better anyway

Bruvas from diffrant muvars

Any pics please,any advantages other than noise...........did you drill holes etc in sides for example. Do you get cooler air in,would presume heat soak from engine bay but would like to do this mod if works ;) Just pondering,i have a K&N panel,cobra zaust,will remove a cat,prob replace centre section but this wont make a difference to map once done. I am in similar process to scooby ghost(other than getting married and newage ) I know different as every thing requires re-map . So getting it ready to fit before map come time..........again i want similar results,no bhp chaser as to me its just a " i have XXXhp" stuff,i want a drivable motor,earlier boost(cat removal should be 500rpm earlier) .So 250-280 i would have thought reasonable ,the td04 is good for 280.........some 300 from,but thats at its limit and i dont want that. I want it safe/reliable in its parameters if makes sense,but a little more ooooomph :D Its a fraction over 1bar ,so if a bar=14.5 then its 15psi as is with filter n zaust. Only issue i have is noise,right now imo anyway its spot on,good burble,loud to have compliments,not intrusive........so i dont want any louder . Cheers ven :)

Thanks gambit,yes i believe some advertised are exact bolt on,where as the sti requires more holes drilling. Does not bother me drilling holes..........after all it wont be as big as But given choice i would rather just bolt straight on....... For a good condition in 08v,i guess 250-300 ish i would be happy with if possible. No mad rush,can hold out.........but if i get one from a breakers i need to add around £190 for re-spray unless i get very very lucky and right colour 08v Cheers ven

Good point , it seems the easiest option overall and as you say worse case return item . The quote for £190 was correct so not cheap,had a reply later on confining .

Thats an excellent point,had slipped mind tbh as ones seen did mention req re-spray but wrong original colour anyway(no biggie). Yes ,i like pics,once done i will post before/after,what and why the decision i went that way, and how annoyed i am at the extra leverage the boss will have using it as a boot handle

Yes i love the high level spoiler,not keen on the wrx ironing board. Seen the extensions,these are now £150 and i will just have a ........................higher up ironing board I think copy n spray is ahead then for now,will see what quotes i get. Could spray myself but would have to hang in garage to spray and its full to the brim with studio stuff right now Just like to have a plan of action,if could get spray closer to £100 or less,would defo swing it more............cant believe how dear it is for a simple job for a spray shop. Also know not to bake as can damage the copy/material..........so a good day or 3 for that work,thats it drying though and not spraying. Cheers again all ;)

I am ok mec wise,time wise is my issue with young ones.......... I used to do jobs on the truck at night in the dark,torch in teeth after bed time ................yes that bad

tbh i am not bothered about selling on etc,when time comes and maybe buy an sti or whatever at time,i will sell as is so not too much of an issue. I am a little concerned of the CF look,would it look a bit halfords,would it still look in keeping as fast and furious stuff is certainly not for me. I like in keeping and discrete in general(yeh right from my last 4x4) but was done in keeping if makes sense. Discrete hooligans car would be a better description May i should keep an eye out for an oe one,breakers(i know have to be quick..........wait at the gate quick) or get a copy and spray. Cost wise seems similar to the CF version which does look good. Just dont want the CF to stand out too much against the mica black 08v paint ...........too much. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp

Cheers for reply,would you consider a CS spoiler on Or go copy and spray? Cheers ven :)

Hi all,not an immediate purchase but will be done at some point for sure. I am after an STI high level spoiler ,in process of getting spray quotes,one come back at £190 local but admitted he might have over quoted me,but say even £150 + a good copy for around same is £300 Now i am getting it the the realms of decent carbon fibre spoilers Like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STI-Version-7-8-9-Carbon-Rear-Boot-Spoiler-inc-Clear-LED-/271644455309?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f3f45718d Now i am not a fan tbh of CF as ............well its not really me. But these look ok and i have a black bugeye 08v paint code. What would you do........hang out for a genuine..........maybe a long time Buy a good copy and get sprayed..............but looking at £300 ish Give up and leave my ironing board on What i want Cheers guys :)

Drove it as i always do in the week to work and back,around 9.5m each way of over 8m of motorway. Nice distance to get warm and condensation out of the zaust. Unfortunately a 50mph limit on the m60 does bring extra congestion which = extra frustration(how office workers or 9-5 workers do this day in,day out is beyond me). Looked at my double din JCV pondering what to get to replace it with that has gps and does not have xtrons in the name........ School run was done in an auto 1.4 clio just for a change its good not to change gear sometimes :P

I want an sti one,just finding one and after a quote of £190 for a re-spray.................ouch Would have to buy a copy i guess,not paying £400 for a spoiler(well yet anyway) Happy for a £200 bill for an 08v black sti spoiler,copy as long as not fibre glass. Dont think i could justify any more even though i want one real bad :(

Yes ,iirc jap have 101ron...........maybe higher now as i am going back a good few years. Our petrol is not the best,fuel in the USA is crap at best................but boy is it a lot cheaper :( Not as cheap as Saudi though..........................19p a litre of super!

This is from my bugeye wrx uk fuel cap,so always used super,now nitro 99ron over previous 97ron No mention of unleaded................95ron

I will be a guinea pig :D Go for it,learn it,for me yes a little mind field but we all know all of us(ok maybe not everyone) but you know what i mean are capable of doing anything they want. The most important ingredient is interest,if you have this ,then your on to a winner. Could do member maps etc,make a couple of £ too. I would like to get into it,if i was made redundant for example i would consider getting set up and learning the ropes........ I mean how B) driving a Subaru to others Subaru's and leaving owners with a huge :D I think with a little practice you would be as good as most home mappers(who are good),once a few years under your belt............well who knows,you may be the best!! The one to go to............ I do wish someone closer who knew maps etc could show me the ropes,would love to learn,which parts to alter on the map software. As long as do little adjustments at a time,record,test and so forth,should be good to go......................fast :)

True!!!! can see it now..................monthly rotation

Yes all standard,previous 1 owner and all service by subaru,rang garage to confirm everything etc. I thought maybe PPP but had the standard zaust on so ruled out(of course could have swapped but would have been pointless for sake of £80 or so. Certainly seeing 14.5psi so 1 bar,it can be a needle width before or over at times. Pretty consistent in higher gears where i am on boost for longer periods(motorway). Just panel and zaust so far,both cats still in place,never misses a beat.
