nkwrx Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Modest figures compared to many here but they're makin me smile. Went to see Andy this am and Hawkeye wrx now 283bhp and 361 torques Also now have Launch control, downshift throttle blip whilst braking. Roll on the "FLING" Cheers Kevan
dougieboy Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Good one mate just got mine done there last month what a difference it makes, whats the downshift throttle blip about ive not about that before.

Hi Dougie, to be honest I'd not heard of it either. Andy refered to it as Racerom Programming. If I downshift while braking, anything above 2.5k i get an auto throttle blip. Also now if I have my right foot planted I dont need to lift off to change gear on the way up but that is bloody surreal! Cheers Kevan
bobbyc Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Nice one Kev did you get all your shiney bits fitted then?
nkwrx Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 Thanks Paul look forward too it. Yes Bobby all bolted on and working fab! No fling this year Bob?
dougieboy Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Whats it like with the launch control kev, i wasn't sure if i should have got it or not.
nkwrx Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 To be fair Dougie I got it for a bit of a laugh as I wont be heading to Crail any time soon lol. It' more to entertain than anything else tho it does seem to work.
scooby222 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 good figures and some fun toys Kevan i expect a launch control demo at the fling, only 7 weeks to go!
badbaz Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Kevan, this being a 'fly by wire' throttle, how does the launch control work?
nkwrx Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 good figures and some fun toys Kevan i expect a launch control demo at the fling, only 7 weeks to go! A demo it is Dave 7 Weeks? Can't wait!
nkwrx Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 Kevan, this being a 'fly by wire' throttle, how does the launch control work? Barry, I cant pretend to really know how it works as such but..... With the car in first with clutch dipped, if i floor it, the revs are limited to 4.5k and "bounce" off that till I dump the clutch. Again Ive only had a go a couple of times today as I've a few changes to "learn" over the next few days Kevan
badbaz Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Ok mate, thanks for that, same as my old 'cabled' version then lol Just don't go mad with it as it is mega sore on your drivetrain and clutch - great fun though!
dougieboy Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 I thought about launch control but was scared about knackering my cluth but im well pleased with what ive got just now.
bobbyc Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Thanks Paul look forward too it. Yes Bobby all bolted on and working fab! No fling this year Bob? No Kev would love to mate but would have to take 37.5 hrs holiday as i'm nightshift weekend, it would be too much for the old RA and as soon as i've transferred Mag's plate it will be up for sale, don't plan on buying another subaru any time in the near future as I'm busy with other projects
