    So for a full exhaust at about £1500, remap with ECUTek and dyno time is £550, and a intake pipe at a quick guess is £300? So you're talking £2300 in parts, and then you add labour to install all that, say 3-4hrs at £80per hour (standardish rate) £2600 roughly? You probably could save some money buying parts from other places and installing yourself and just doing the remap, but you're also paying for the convenience of someone else doing it, and that someone else (Clinic) is probably one of the best Subaru specialists about (and that's a fact, Andy F and Clinic both top names in the industry). At the end of the day, it's his choice where he wants to go and how he wants to spend his money.

    It's very common to resleeve instead of closing the deck in the States. I did it on a Honda engine (I know...) I built.

    Haha well that would be a canny drive for me up in Newcastle! Mind you, always wanted to visit there. Hear it's lovely and nice warm weather with palm trees!

    Where you at?

    I went with a Pioneer. Was going to go for the newer all singing and dancing touch screen only versions, but I'm glad I didn't if I'm honest. I like having the option of being able to touch a button (very useful when going over bumpy roads). Got a 2015 model late last year for £175 shipped which I thought was an alright price. Love the sound quality of Pioneer, don't think you can go wrong with them or Alpine. Unit is nice, has Bluetooth, reverse camera option (debating on buying one, but don't really NEED it), DAB, etc. the DAB is only good if you mount to the window mind, so bear that in mind. Overall though, I'm happy, especially with being able to customize the background 😊

    eBay has loads mate 😊

    That's all fairly logical talk from Tidgy. If there was a problem with something major when my car went in for something else, of course I would want to know, and as such, I would expect the bill to be higher if the work was agreed and carried out. In saying that, Clinic generally had a good name, but there's always bad reviews. Even the nicest 5 star restaurants will have bad reviews. Generally, from what I've read, Clinic is a good place to go. But to be honest, just drop it Tidgy mate. You're like a Rottweiler if someone says anything bad about Clinic lol not worth getting into argument over. You've said your piece, and all anyone has to do is look at your car as a testament to Clinic's work. Ah, cheers for clearing that up though! Didn't realize Andy didn't use a Dyno. I've started a few emails back and forth with him to see about getting mine in for a map, and that was one of my questions is the last email (he hasn't replied yet).

    Hm...Andy Forrest charges £480 for a ECUTek map, and he's one of the best for sure. He also posts different (higher) numbers with more or less the same mods. Mind, it could be bhp he's posting and not whp.

    That's a great idea! Where do you get the 3M paint protection film? Wonder how it'll look on the blue when I eventually get mine resprayed.
  10. Seminole81
    Yeah no worries. I know I've got a cat back on it, but no idea what size. Backbox is 4" I think 😳 Hmmm, might be the way to go. Will see what happens on Friday (birthday) 😬 Nah not loads of track days for me. I think it'll be ok. Trust AF. I've sent them a email, will ring tomorrow when I finish work if no reply. I reckon if I get a decat I'll be at Level 2.5 😂
  11. Seminole81
    Oooh sweet. Yeah, definitely let me know what you got. Long version yeah or is it the two piece? I'll give them a ring and see what the deal is. I dunno if I'll have the funds or not for then. If I do, I'll have to sacrifice lowering etc. and I'm a bit nervous about mapping in more power on the standard EJ25 😬😂 I know it's doable and fine most likely, but always a risk.

    ScoobyParts do a discount for us as well don't they? 😬 Very tempting...I have coilovers in the basket 😂
  13. Seminole81
    Actually, bit of research a lot of people say to avoid Walbro. What about Deutschwerks 330?
  14. Seminole81
    Where you get these parts from? I know ScoobyWorld. Demon Tweeks? Where else?
  15. Seminole81
    True that @Piggysniffer!
  16. Seminole81
    Lol send me the 450 then! How do you figure out what size you need?
  17. Seminole81
    Well then, that's that. New one it is...after I check and make sure I don't already have one 😬😂
  18. Seminole81
    Niceeee! Lemme know when you set yours up! Haha I need to put mine on still! What day are you going to AF? Wonder if we can get a discount if I book in 😉😬😂
  19. Seminole81
    Makes sense. Application is Street with maybe the very rare track day, even then it's going to depend. Just got a email about a possible job opening at a company literally around the corner from me so would save loads on fuel every month!
  20. Seminole81
    It's a 255 I'm looking at. There's one local to me with 500mi on it for £50.
  21. Seminole81
    Lol just no wheel gap for me would do. Like 45mm probably front drop. I just don't think 35mm is going to be enough for my liking...honestly don't know what to do. Maybe just get some springs and then if it's not good enough, sell second hand and go for coilovers? Aye I know. I've read some bad reviews of the Tein's which make me hesitant to get them.
  22. Seminole81
    The drop though...
  23. Seminole81
    I know I'm a tight !Removed! as well...just debating if it's worth the £35 or so extra for a new one...
  24. Seminole81
    So just out of curiosity, is it ok so you think to buy a used fuel pump? I've seen one for about £40 used, but I'm not sure if it's ok to get it used? Says it was only on for around 2k miles?
  25. Seminole81
    As title states, looking for one. Don't want to spend a fortune, but needs to be decent condition. Not sure on size yet, but lemme know what you got!
