Looking great Phil, when are the stickers going on it

You need to empty your mail box by the way

[g1983]

Cheers bigman. Stickers went on it today......all two of them .

Inbox now empty .

I seen them, also looking good. Where did you source the SIDC one from?

[g1983]

LOL, the SIDC one was one of them pesky new "International" ones that I cut out the wording and left the centre lettering .

Don't want to reignite 'stickergate' but a step by step tutorial is required Phil

Cheers Bigfelly. I just got it because it's a Subaru, it's a Boxer Diesel and it's NOT a Hatch .

Didn't realise it had a boot lid Phil, does the window do up when you open it?

I did the same myself recently, seen the 5yr warranty, 3yr free servicing and 2yrs interest free (50:50 deal) and figured it was as good a time as any to get back into a scoob... even if it was a diesel one and not an Impreza.

Been fairly impressed with it so far as it's being run in... handles well enough as std (then again, the one traded in was a D3 ) and it almost feels like sitting in the hawkeye STi again with the leather wheel, etc (shame it doesn't have the same go as the STi )

The 45-50mpg we're getting so far is a bit of a revelation in a scoob too.

Quick pic taken with the phone a few days after getting it (in Jan... the grounds a lot whiter now )

I've already been looking at the Ecutek website... really shouldn't

By the sounds of it, the exhaust on the diesel makes little or no difference sound wise though DPF delete sounds like it should be a good thing (once it's out of warranty in my case ). Remap seems to be worth it from what I've seen on various forums, although I'm still a bit wary of doing that when I've got the warranty/free servicing for the next few years. Mind you... I said that with the hawkeye and Andy Forrest remapped that before the warranty ran out

Would be good to get a bit more "shove" out the diesel though. Can't believe that they are still only 150bhp (ish) even now.
