  1. I'd say he's missed off some engine mods if he thinks he's got 370 bhp. But still the car looks lovely apart from the max power special spoiler so as long as everything is good mechanically you could end up with a very nice car
  2. Sounds like a right pain in the !Removed!. Would the dealer not tell you if changing a pair would cure it? I'm guessing changing all four would solve it but would be a nightmare if the tyres have plenty of life left in them.
  3. New seats sound good. What you going for? The shape of the front seats is a bit old fashioned now subaru should have done a recaro option :)
  4. Off the shelf from a reputable company I would say. Any decent manufacturer will have done dyno runs and made sure it has performance benefits as well as looks and more sound. A custom exhaust will probably just give more noise and there's more to making a good one than just making it bigger
  5. Probably more chance of you getting that dog back than us getting a performance pack for the new sti then :(
  6. The perrin intake doesn't require a tune and one of our members sparky is running one. Most of the kits that claim big power gains require a tune probably because there is a lot more air going in and as tidy said the ecu will only correct within a certain range. I've went for a k&n panel filter which probably has very little if any benefits but I do think I can hear the turbo a bit more since I put it in. I'm already at the point where if I was to go any further I would be throwing my warranty away, I'd love to add the milltek downpipe and sports cat and get it mapped to suite but it's a bit of a risk if there's any problems down the line.
  7. I can't see how they could give warranty on that. The dealers don't approve the warranty claims, maybe they could lie and say that the car came back standard but then they would still have to send of the ecu info
  8. Alex I think they can detect a remap. My dealer said the ecu stores a calibration code. If it goes in for warranty the code is read from the ecu and sent to subaru uk and if it doesn't match their code they know the ecu has been messed with.
  9. Hi there. I've got a milltek cat back on mine. My subaru dealer is also a milltek dealer and he says a cat back will not affect your warranty. I can highly recommend the milltek the cars are just too quiet as stock. I was over at the Isle of Man for the TT last week and they use the new sti's as course cars, these things were coming past us flat out, 5 or 6 of them at a time and you can't hear any exhaust noise at all. For me the milltek just compliments the car and let's you hear the motor working without being too loud. I bought mine through Stan palmer subaru at carlisle.
  10. Tell me about it. I had trouble with a wheel speed sensor on my golf gti bringing this light up and ended up with a fault on the ESP control unit. I can't see why they a subaru dealer can't fix something that should be straight forward for them
  11. So have you had this on wince the day you picked it up? Ask them to swap the car for one that works if they can't fix it, see what they say about that
  12. Well every time I play this game my headset plays up and now I've just spent half an hour trying to get in an online lobby only to do qualifying then warm up then the game crashed at the end of warm up
  13. There's a subaru specialist at Carnforth, tegsport.
  14. Good video. You can see how much smoother the steering inputs are compared to replays with a normal controller. You get a lot more control when you need smaller steering inputs. If I really get into this next forza I'll get a wheel.
  15. Are the rear ones adjustable? If so you have to consider this as well as the bar thickness.
  16. Lovely car dude. Looks great on those wheels too.
  17. What is going on with that fanatec stuff? You must need to spend about £700 for a basic set up
  18. When I've looked at some of the lap times on forza rivals in unmodified cars and I can't get within 8 seconds of the fastest lap I'm sure that a wheel is the way forward.
  19. Which wheel did you get gambit? I've fancied one for a while I might get one when forza 6 comes out
  20. Welcome. Glad your enjoying the car. I've had mine 2 month now and it's only getting better
  21. The kart racing is awful. I've been playing gt3 class online that's not too bad. I don't thInk I'll bother with career mode too much
  22. I got the pioneer sat navigation as a dealer option, it doesn't look like any of them the screen is bigger
