Cant TEK3 a 97-98 ECU.

99 onwards for that process

You can fit a Import ECU to a UK car but you need to alter a few things to get it to run.  Plus it will be mapped for a different turbo and cams

I've got a '93 wrx and early ones like this have a closer ratio gearbox.

This means fantastic acceleration (just ask newer sti pilots), but my mpg suffers as a result (23/4 on a good day).

The other unusual difference i've noted is vented rear brakes where early 2000s had solid.  The fronts are crappy two pot calipers as well!  There's also no ABS, but I think this is only in the really early cars like mine.

Power quotes tend to be unrealistic for wrx as 240-260 is based on jap 100 ron fuel.  Once run on super this drops to close to uk 2000s apparently.  Need to get mine on the rollers to find out output and to see if the cat back 5zigen, k&n 57i filter and running optimax make a difference.

When's the next dastek day?
