Other fuels work just not as well. Seems to be shell, sainsburys, tecso/esso, in that order. Thy just seem to like the shell better foe some reason. Yeah sounds about right as the uk cars came with td03 standard. Make sure it has had a remap I'm sure it will have had to take into account for the turbo and solenoid mods but always better to ask. And ask what fuel it's been mapped on, Depending on who has mapped it may have 2 switchable ones for high octane and regular fuel :-D If it has all that dont expect to get millions of miles from a tank it will be far too much fun and very addictive, the look on peoples faces is priceless when they have been shown up by a respectable family wagon :-)

Hi somone with more knowlege will add to this but heres the info I know. Jdm spec vehicles always have more power as standard used to be the case of different turbos/ internals fo a start plus they run on higher octane as standard. They used to use ps instead of bhp for figures not sure if they still do. Us market will be dictated by emissions regs and boring stuff, the us didn't get the impreza untill 01/02 plus they run rubbish grade fuel 91/92ron being standard. And the rest of us jut get a slightly lower spec to the jap market :-( with a generic map to run safe on 95 octane So yes the differnet markets have different maps with regards to fuel but it's not specific to gaining most for the car just more to meet the various emissions and fuel grades. Hence why most people opt for a remap on vpower or simillar to release more horses And those in the states have to get a map to run safe on lower grade fuel

Ah well sacrifice for smiles is much better :-D Is it a uk car or an import ? As for the mods ask for paperwork, uk cars came with smaller turbos and other different bits so getting 260 out of it would require more work than an import which should be able to reach that with just a remap. Don't know if your aware but they only like to use vpower too

Hello welcome, very capable car and puts a smile in my face every day, what kind of mpg are you getting at the moment out of your vectra ? Urban I get about 21 ish mpg, longer runs and motorway cruising off boost takes it up to a more reasonable 30-32 mpg

Hello, could be the diffs or gearbox, maybe change all the fulids and see if that cures it, do you know the service history of the car ? Can you get a sound clip of the noise and post up ? Maybe someone will be able to diagnose what it is that way

What kind of mileage/driving does your wife do ? I friend had an x3 that coked up badly after a year of ownership bmw tried to tell him it was because the car was used for mainly loads of small trips in stop start traffic, least subsru's customer service is good,

Think someone posted jn the foz section anout this, theuy said it's a known fault but subaru are draggging their heels I'll try and fine the post .

Boo old mans b'day sat then away sunday gutted, have a good one should be cracking weather

Not sure mate but other owners have had big problems with goowplug issues, some have had them replaced under warranty outhers have been quoted silly money 4-5k for replacement [emoji33]

Looks like a good job, bet your pleased, always more satisfying doing a job yourself :-D

Sorry I was typing on my phone ment to say a new on for mine from subaru was 350 it was slightly cheaper on the web but still a massive hit to the wallet :-(

See if you can get one from a breakers mos places will test stuff before sending it out. Save some money. How much is the unit new ? I know mines around 50 from subaru so I'm guessing it's going to be the same or more :-(

Mine came in citylink bags and envelope so there may still be hope today :-D unless royal mail were delivering on their behalf

Lol ment to say te37's stupid auto correct. Never seen them that size normally 17/18" must make them more valuable then :-D How much would you be happy taking ? Maybe just stick them up at that price see if they go if not re list later

Theres a few beimg broken on ebay at the mo mate, one in notts looks the same colour

Are they te7's ? Wouldn't like to say as they cost a fair bit new. I'd love them sadly the offset is all wrong and I dont have a pile of cash lying round :-(

Haha no it was left at my place over a year ago so I'm looking to put it on the bay other wise it would just be going in the skip

I'd go genuine parts try www.importcarparts.co.uk they are ooads cheaper than dealers and normally arrives next day, they also have a shop on ebay

Good turn out for the 1st one [emoji16] saw the sti at nbo, love the bride interior

I've heard that the custom ones with nipple cut outs take slightly longer to arrive[emoji55]

Mine were inside the halfords card

Just checked my post box :-D it's all arrived whoop

How much is this mufflebox voucher for you speak of ? I did not know we were entitled to that :-D maybe we have to buy stickers through that using voucher ?
