    PS4 - Seminole81 Only really get on every other week because of shifts.

    Two blobs in Nissan car park. One was a STi all done up for RallyX I think? Private reg on it. The other a 04 WRX with the STi wing on it. Both in rally blue 😊
  3. Seminole81
    I'm in the same dilemma haha. Think I'm just going to leave the STi badges.
  4. Seminole81
    Something must be wrong with mine then...only working out o 9mpg at current rate and I'm not hammering it! If anything I'm short shifting massively? Maybe that's my mistake?
  5. Seminole81
    Aye I meant like does anyone run it? Think there's something wrong on my end. Used just under a 1/4 of a tank going 35miles...that works out to around 9mpg roughly?! Surely something's wrong there...only put my foot down twice in that time too! I could understand 15mpg but 9! 😱 Wife's gunna kill me haha

    True. What's the BP stuff like? Few BP's fairly local to me...no Tesco's that I'm aware of, and nearest Shell is about 7mi

    Glad you got the email haha. Got any STi floor mats as well? 😬

    Ugh, I had the 1.2L turbo Juke before. It was crap if I'm honest. Never hated a car as much, and I only got 29-32mpg max out of it and I drove it like a Nan...terrible around the doors for petrol.

    For sure. The UK has quality fuel though, and the ECU should automatically compensate for it if I've read that right. For sure obviously 99 is the best, but if the situation arises (like my little fiasco with my excitement forgetting to fill up! Haha) I don't think it'll do too much harm to put in the super Unleaded 97.

    1.5L diesel...it's not too bad, but dear Lord it feels slow now haha
  11. Seminole81
    Exactly. And I would assume as most US owners would put 93 Octane in their cars (which is 97 octane here in the UK), then it should be completely fine for us to use super unleaded (which again, is the 97 octane). 😊👍🏻
  12. Seminole81
    Hahaha so true! 49mpg though 😱😬😂
  13. Seminole81
    Haha yeah it did! Mate, I think I'm only getting about 18 at the moment 😂 Jesus, just drove the Qashqai around the corner quickly as had to run a short little errand for my sister in law...so slow and the clutch was feather light 😂
  14. Seminole81
    Yes mate, I know it is. 93 RON in the US is made with the AKI and MON. Therefore IS 93 is UK 97.4 aka Super Unleaded. Here's a conversion chart that uses the formula's: http://www.pencilgeek.org/2009/05/octane-rating-conversions.html Plus the ECU should in theory read and compensate for the different octanes by retarding the timing and lowering the maximum boost output, even if it is slightly worse. Sticker on fuel cap says use Super Unleaded only. Like I said, seems to be running like a champ at the moment. Obviously if available and near by I'll put the 99 octane in...
  15. Seminole81
    Aye, I will do, just I was desperate at the time. First garage I went to didn't even have 97...
  16. Seminole81
    They do have a different tune. Same exact engine as the Type UK, but the UK is 20hp less than the USDM versions. If USDM can run on 93 US (which is like 97 UK) I would assume the UK can run fine as well? Why? It's running fine on the "Super Unleaded" from Sainsbury's?
  17. Seminole81
    Yeah, obviously makes sense. Pretty sure 97 octane will be fine as that's what 93 octane is in the US and I'm pretty sure all the US guys use that and not "race fuel" (97 octane from the pump, very difficult to find at garages).
  18. Seminole81
    Haha just replied in that thread. Hmm yeah at the moment, I don't even think I'm going to hit 200! I only put my foot down twice yesterday briefly and did about 25miles...1/8th gone. Oh well 😊 Did use Sainsbury's super unleaded though...it's the easiest for me as Shell is way out of the way and Tesco's, well I have no idea if there's even one about.
  19. Seminole81
    Just got my 06 STi...£63 to fill up from very low down into the fuel light (nearly ran out on way home! He forgot to put some in and in my excitement I forgot to stop and put it in! Used Sainsbury's Super Unleaded (97?) which should be ok...I hope? Only managed to get 55L in it. I don't have a Shell local to me (would be massively out of the way to go to it) or a Tesco's nearby either. Haven't noticed any issues yet, got on it twice yesterday for a short burst and lost about 1/8th of a tank...20miles in...my wife's gunna kill me 😂
  20. Seminole81
    Cheers for the link. I did find one on ScoobyNet or something, but it was all over the place. Some saying between 210-300...was getting a bit worried there haha! Wonder what sensibly is considered? Only really got on it twice quickly yesterday... At any date I'll start a build thread soon 😊 Am very pleased overall though!
  21. Seminole81
    Mate, I didn't even realise until you said and went and had a look haha, I've saved them and posted them here! Can already tell she's going to be very thirsty...what do you guys average roughly in mileage per tank? My wife isn't very impressed when I said around 18mpg...I only drive to work and back which is about 10miles each way. Will have to keep my foot up a bit I think, but it's so hard with just getting it! Gunna have to get a build thread going 🤔😬😉😊 nothing major yet though, but already got some pods, although I'm not overly happy with the A pillar ones they did...they used a screw to keep it up 😡 *smh* also began to notice a issue already. Seems like the heating is temperamental. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
  22. Seminole81
    Picked her up today! I absolutely love her to bits! Runs perfectly.
  23. Seminole81
    Hope so, just heard back from him saying pillar pods are done, just waiting on the centre bit, so hopefully tomorrow or Thursday.
  24. Seminole81
    Also maybe the fog light covers for a STi?
  25. Seminole81
    I remembered seeing this floating around...might be of some help? http://www.gearhack.com/myink/ViewPage.php?file=docs/Subaru Transmission Chart
