Was afraid to open this thread to photos of nude members...

Well typical, cleaned the car yesterday and pisses it down today...

Snow l? What snow?!

Yeah it's Open Source I was looking at. Yep, the Tactrix is about £200 and the Wideband I was looking at was about £200. Software free like you said. I heard about the ESL course...be tempted to have a look into it a bit more.

Yeah. I bet you could get someone to map it fairly easily though considering the way the internet it now. Just need data logging software. Was just curious as always. I've looked into flashing myself actually. Tactrix cable or whatever it's called and then Open Source software. Save the stock map in a safe place and copy then adjust in very small incriminates on copied map. Wideband would be essential to correct A/F ratios. All in all though, were talking around the same price for everything if you purchase all the parts. Easiest is paying for someone else to do it on a dyno haha

Thanks...yeah these type of days are rare haha. Can't find the tyre polish either...oh well.

Just curious as to max tyre width you can run on the standard? Looking at alloys and fancy something nice and wide. Cars standard hawk STi at moment but will be lowering into springs eventually. Possibily rolling fenders to fit something as wide as possible without rubbing. Was thinking 18" x 9 if I can get it? Is it possible? What's recommended?

Washed and waxed the STi today. Nice and shiney now. Interior clean tomorrow. Can't find my red hazard button! Was going to fit that today but...

Seems to be the case. Why don't we do that here? Haha. Just curious. Funny to see the differences between the countries.

I'll help 😉😊👍🏻

Have you got pics of this? 😊 Looking good! I've had mine a few months now and all I've had chance to do is get a DEFI triple hood and double a pillar pod installed...and a radio. Oh and I ordered a JDM hazard switch haha. Wish I had more spare cash to sink into mine... Also out of curiosity, how much did you buy your car for? Was surprised at the amount of HP it put out...only a EJ20 though isn't it? In saying that I'm sure the EJ25 has the same spec power wise?

Key fobs eh...I hate mine, but hear it's a major pain in the **** to change the STI one? Would love to order a JDM STi key...

Hmm interesting. Most people across the pond don't seem to rate ECUTek, unless it's for a GTR. A lot say Cobb is hands down the best...My mate said he ran his own Open Source ECU Flash (FP Green turbo and supporting mods for around 400whp).

1.21 gigawatts!

Yeah, I'll probably just ECUTek for time being and then switch to a stand alone at a later date if I ever make it that far haha. Hmm...that's an idea with he AVCR, but probably not the safest or best way haha. I've sent a message to my mate to see what he ran his on in the States, purely out of curiosity now haha.

Nor am I if I'm honest. I was just curious as to if it could be done. 👍🏻

It's a Subaru 😳

I'm running Yoko Advan Sports at the moment, seem to be alright. Used to run Falken Azenis (spelling) in the States and they were fantastic. Tempted to see about the Pirelli's next time. Always liked Toyo's as well...

Hmm, I'm tempted to upgrade mine. Think I might get Pioneer to match though...and a sub :D Out of curiosity, on the stock head unit, did the front seem to be louder than the rear? I had to fade to -7 to make it sound more "surround" sound...don't think I've had the problem since switching to the new head unit?

Is a certain spec ECU not a certain spec ECU? Like in Honda's a P30 ECU is a P30 ECU and will work with any car that needs a P30 ECU? So all hawkeye Type UK STI ECU would be created equal? So say I buy the same exact ECU that's in my car, but with ECUTek already on (if I can find one)? It's getting flashed anyways? Sorry for the questions haha Subaru stuff is new to me still 🤔

Pics or it didn't happen! 😉😂

Long long term I would love to do a full on full scale rebuild...I'll have a look about. Probably would buy a second hand Syvecs...in saying that just saw someone post a second hand ECUTek for fairly cheap. Could pick up one of those and get it mapped to my car and then change over when needed.

So I've heard 😈 Gotta convince the Mrs. to go out in it first haha she doesn't approve 😂 Had to take the Qashqai out today as I got the death stare when I suggested taking the Scoobie out for a change

Aye that was Syvecs @Tidgy recommended. I had a AEM for my old Honda...but preferred the Hondata actually, which I'm assuming is more like ECUTek (and MegaSquirt). More than confident Jurgen would do a fine job...I just know Andy F is the boy...and I have time on my side 😉👍🏻 Would probably actually be better anyways as then I could book in months in advance and plan the trip.

Sounds alright. I assume this runs on the current ECU like a Hondata would? Is there any other options for ECUs then other than stand alone EMS, which is what I'm assuming @Tidgy was suggesting buying at around £1500. I know you suggested the GTR Shop, but I'm thinking of sticking with Jurgen at JM as they've been really good with me and are supposedly getting a dyno in April (birthday in May so could work out well, but I'm thinking Christmas next year probably), or going up to Edinburgh and seeing Andy Forrester. I think I'll wait until I get a decat and check the fuel pump first and then go for it. Think I could make around 350ish maybe a bit more if I have VF43 (need to check that too! Haha)
