I am running H&R ones - 5x100 and a great fit but only do 20mm & 25mm http://www.larkspeed.com/category/view/HRTRAKSUB Ps those are priced per pair - a mistake I made and felt only slightly foolish about

Wotcha and welcome - we like looking at them also - feel free to post pics

might not be a bad idea

Would the throttle response and instant boost not be associated with increased boost parameters and related increase in fuelling within the different modes? As long as the oil is of the correct standards JASO etc as well as spec (I believe Castrol edge is) I would be fine with it

not had that myself with 08 models - pull the wheel off and dash cowl - easy job and check all the tabs

The JDM aftermarket option puts them there as well - must admit I would be happy loosing the vents but hadn't thought about the single DIN idea and thin vent option the Blitz guage option for £300! https://www.japanparts.com/parts/detail/33804

yummy!!

Wotcha and welcome - keep us posted with progress

Wotcha and welcome

Sounds like a plan

Its a slippery slope - but hell of a slide

Some people just shouldn't be allowed to buy certain motors

Wotcha and welcome - keep us updated with progress

Sounds like you could have some crud built up. Cant remember who does them on here as a refurb / exchange basis....?

Wotcha and welcome!

With a 97 wrx you can get the sports pack option with ESL which gives antilag + LC. Getting the extra chip installed costs about £30 for ESL to mod your existing ECU by soldering on the additional board so you either send your own or source a second standard ECU and send them that keeping your own on the road whilst you await the turnaround. I dont know of ECU's from other Subarus that would fit as a straight plug and play - as I understand it the 00/96 differs to 97/98 and they differ to 99/00 - all differ to newage But the one point I would make is going aftermarket gives you flexibility so factor in some time with someone who can setup the ECU specifically for your car, either on the road or book a dyno session. Whilst at the ESL course the concept of the ECU 'learning' and adjusting based on wideband inputs like on newer ECU's was discussed but it is not a function currently in place so plugging in someone elses which has been set to their car means it would potentially need adjusting to suit your motor

top job - looks great!!

cannot remember - did you do a full refurb or just free the piston before?

Nice result that - little bit of patience and saved some $$$

Wotcha and welcome!!

Wotcha and welcome - we have an opie oils discount setup so once you have decided on what you will servicing give OILMAN a shout to get the right stuff for your motor

Wotcha and welcome - also loving the Ducktail

Sounds like a fair old life there - and carried a donor card as well

Got you - well there could be some build up in them then - easy to drain out but a ball ache you dont need on such new motor

Yay - positive result and useful info for other members
