Booked in for remap today :)
Noooo,,,,, Stay well clear. at £240 it will only be a flash map. you don't want to be doing that to a scoob. i would expect a map to be minimum £350 + vat and thats based on no charge for dyno and not having to buy a license.

as said 260 is about average result, beware of people telling you they can get X amount of power. you want it mapped to its safe potential, not mapped to its death. What system are they using to map it? and if you dont mind saying how much they charging?

So slight hicup, problem with the rear diff when it was loaded onto the dyno for mapping. Good bit of news was it flew through its MOT.

Hawk wrx box is alot more capable that early 5 speeds, i ran one at 390/420 for 18 months/14k miles and know a couple running above 450 without issue.

Swap car thoughts?
you wont like it by comparison i would expect, 2.5 drives very different to a 2.0

New to the scene hopefully.
Don't know the car personally, but owners on scoobynet so plenty of info on the car, http://www.scoobynet.com/subaru-444/1043230-2005-jdm-widetrack-hawkeye-for-sale-51e-white.html http://www.scoobynet.com/members-gallery-5/1022212-m2rtx-back-with-a-jdm.html If i was gonna buy then it ticks the right box's for sure, well looked after, when things have gone wrong (which all cars have thigns that do) they have been sorted properly, like the suspension etc etc could do alot worse thats for sure

78k on an 11 year old car is low milage, as long as its been looked after (like that one) then will be fine.

Could someone settle this argument please regarding cold stars
Reality is either 1 or 2 is fine, 2 is better than 1. Problem comes when you give it large prior to letting it warm up properly. Bear in mind oil takes alot longer than water to warm up

Ah fair enough, if it was weekend toy a classic R or RA would be best, but daily def a new age. and 11k should get you a nice blob JDM or spec c. look for the later one 04/05 so has the widetrack and personaly think nicer interior. If you can stretch the budget a bit then this one would be the one to go for, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2005-SUBARU-IMPREZA-JDM-STI-DCCD-WIDETRACK-IMPORT-/192034363516?hash=item2cb623d87c:g:ekAAAOSwux5YNC4P

Drive it for a few miles steady (make sure its up to temp before giving it beans, may take longer than you think ;) ). Sitting idling doesn't allow all fluids to warm up evenly by circulating (gearbox, diff fluid).

Personally i'd look 04/05, updated interior so same as hawk. But lets go back a step, is it a daily or a weekend toy? o also whats your budget? - New to the scene hopefully.
