Hatch Mods

[millsy13]

Just wondering if anyone has done any engine upgrades/mods to a hatch in the club yet?

Just looking for any information of products anyone would recommend/avoid and any problems encountered.

Hi,

There is a thread over HERE on SN, bit disappointed that this forum doesn't have the same 'in depth' topics as such. I have been reading this from the start, good topic.

Also on here, the yanks seem to have a stronger embrace regarding the hatch than folks over here! You will spend a few hours reading the topics in this forum http://www.iwsti.com/forums/

Hope that helps

The hatch is really popular in the states and it's becoming more so here.

Mine is due tomorrow...I'll not be doing any major mods on the engine or suspension...and will try to do very little for as long as possible (but we're likely counting in weeks here )

I dont have one myself if i had the spare cash i would definately have one parked next to my classic.

I assume you have read this thread from scoobynet.

I would be wary of doing to much to it whilst it still has warrenty,

only an issue if the fuel remap hasn't been carried out,or if you have a parallel import as no notification of the remap would be given.

I got my dealer to check this out when I heard about it but it was fine, my car was PPP pretty much after 1000 miles and the ppp map installed. (which I have been told is fine)

...And it is - PPP gives you a Prodrive ECU which eradicates the mapping problem on the non-PPP cars although i'd think most of the new ones now will come out the factory sorted anyway... hopefully!

...but then this has all been covered elsewhere... back to the topic in hand.

Quite a bit available for the car at many tuners - it's not vastly different mechanically to previous Impreza's so much of what could be done before can still be done.

Springs etc are available for the STI (Tein etc making parts so plenty for the car) and the usual range of accessories available on the Subaru site.

I put on the prodrive springs + 18" GT1 alloys from prodrive and it made more of a difference than expected. In a good way:)
