Hello new member from new member...lol

Hello all, When i had a Range Rover a chip was added to the engine. It was just a small box of tricks that could be turned on and off which gave another 30 BHP when needed for towing. With my Suburu i'd like it to be tuned for economy but with a similar power box that i can turn on or off when needed for performance power setting, Have you had this done and how well does it work?

I had a look and there is a cover over the manifold which has boxer written on it but could not see any red. Almost everything looks new. I could not find a turbo but there must be one somewhere, when i get the time i will take off the engine covers and have a closer look. One thing i can say about the car is that it is a dream to drive.....as a new Suburu owner if the car does not give me too much trouble i could be a long term owner/ convert.....lol

Thank you. I looked at that company, the pictures tell a story of everything getting coated. I certainly dont want everything except the exhaust undersealed......just the underside of the floor thank you...lol

Hello all again, Last post today. As im always busy and don't have a lot of free time i'll need to get some work done by others. The first thing will be to have the uderside of the car treated so any recomendations not too far from dartford would be very handy. My legacy being an import needs it, so I'd like to get this done before the winter set in. Thank you.

Thanks for reply theonlychoice, You mabe right. I wonder if anybody else agrees with you, it's always good to know what you have wheather its good or bad...lol Hopefuly i'll get to the bottom of it.

Hello fellow members, My 2003 Suburu Legacy has a small metal badge on the front spoiler = sti. This may be simple to most people but iv'e not really taken much interest into the specifics of cars before...lol Iv'e a lot to learn so there will be plenty of questions on there way to you.....lol I don't know what this indicates about the car? What should i look out for to prove its sti status? (whatever that means...lol) Does it mean sports turbo injection?

I will eventurely do all that, thanks tom_gr7

Thanks for all your replies on the above subject. I will look over them again and take note of recomendations when the time comes for the work. I'll have to ge the underneath looked at then go for underseal protection first.

Hello, Now i have a Suburu maybe i can get some help from members on here as regards the best place to purchase parts for my legacy. I was into 4x4 off roading and there were a few specialist suppliers of Land Rover parts who sold parts without ripping you off, so im looking for the same service from a Suburu parts stockist. The brakes seem a bit spongy.

Ok thank you.

Cheers coordinator. well thats one thing out of the way.

How do i upload pictures?

Hello Ash, Im a new member also. Mike.

Hello, New Suburu legacy owner here. I have noticed there are a few post regarding car light on the forum. My legacy is a fresh import but im not sure if the lights needed to be changed for UK roads, can anybody help me here? The wiring or chip has been converted to mph. The car does have a M.O.T provided by the dealer/importer i purchased from. The key phob boot open button does not work, is this a common fault? Im sure someone will know the answers so i'll say thank you in advance...lol

Cheers for posting, It looks like i'll need to do both jobs. So where do i go for the re map and how do i know the jobs been a goodn done by a decent garage......sorry for stupid questions. Underseal of wax oiled is another question. Any recomendations would be great, im around the Dagenham area. The reason im a bit sceptical is that iv'e been cought out with crap mechanics before charging a fortune but doing a Sh$* job. One of the reasons for joining a forum is to get some good advice from people who know what they are talking about and meet people with similar interest.

Thank you. I shall upload some photos soon. Maybe weekend.

Hello Regional coordinator, 1...It looks like there are some plastic covers on the underside of the car that will need to come off but i can try and get some quotes for undersealing, finding a decent trustworthy place that will do a good job here in the dartford area is gona be hard. 2...Do many people do this? (map for fuel change) The car has had the speedo sensor changed to mph. Subdriver.

Thank you.

Hello to all Legacy owners, I now have a legacy b4 and after purchasing it on sunday my first lesson to learn is to hold back on the power. I have found the car to be a dream to drive so far. little lag when flooring it from turbo but other than that Happy days. The car is standard and just imported. The boot opener on the key phob does not work. The brakes are not as responsive as i thought they would be. I don't think there is any cruise control. It does have gear change on stering wheel that works a treat. cd player and mini disk player both work. Folding door mirrors...nice. I filled the petrol tank with Esso standard unleaded.... will this harm the engine? Having used half a tank i will now fill up again with tesco momentum. Any tips with regarding the legacy b4 would be appreciated. I managed to download an English version of the manual. Subdriver.

Hi Wide Sam, Thank you for information. Now i have a Legacy i supose i will have to post posts in the legacy section and say good bye to the introduction section. Thats where im going now.

No i have not seen anything regarding fuel. I though i could use premium or normal unleaded. What should i use?

Well Hello all, Thank you all for helping. Its official ...Im now a suburu owner. I drove both cars and decided to go for the newer version. I could not find rust anywhere on the body work or under the arches, no doubt there is some somewhere underneath. Imported 2 months ago 10 months m.o.t, drives like a dream. Is it fast......wow. No written warranty but the owner of the garage specialises in these vehicles and has done so for the past 16 years he is local to me and stated he will repair anything that needs doing within three months of purchase if needed. it looks far better than any i could find on the net. But ....all the books are in Japanese and i need instructions....lol Could someone tell me please. Whats the little black button for next to the auto shift? Mike.
