    hi and welcome to the club

    i dont know the car either. But if i was after a 2.5L Hatch the ad and supporting2 mods would appeal to me.

    Although with track work,  i would look for a 2.0L jdm version but normaly 15-20% more money.

    buying a scoob

    lowest miles

    most service history

    owned by enthusiast, even reciepts for air fresheners LOL

    be wary of multiable recent owner

    avoid 2.5L engines!!

    Much appreciated guys will do just that got few cosmetic bits to do the fella who had car before me proper beat the wheels up so thought I’d get them done and maybe get callipers done and brakes at same time! Also is anyone good with head units cause I’m having trouble trying to fit a kenwood dmx7018dabs into car! If someone recommends a different one that is easy to fit I’m all ears! 

    Thanks

    Thanks 

    Looking at more power and better handling. I know my car has had the ECU and exhaust upgraded by prodrive but would you still map over it and get another exhaust?

    Coilovers and 4W alignment certainly will help. V3 cars chassis is much softer than previous generations and coilovers much improved. spring kits not as good improvement as were on V2 an V1 generations.

    Agree with above get a good turner and only run SUL.

    But as you are aware 2.5L engines are not anywhere as good as 2.0L.

    if you go more power vastly inreases chance of at least Head Gasket failure at best or worst Piston Ring land failure or Crank.

    The gearbox feels ok stationary, but not intuitive on the move, very strong spring across the gate, you need to be very firm and precise. On a trackday I can image arriving at the corner at speed and fishing for a gear ?

    so no finesse just brute force, ram it in or else misses every gear.  and then have start again from 1st  :wacko:

    interested as likewise thought about one, the proper ￡10,000 sequencial can wait till lottery win.

    To my surprise and delight, had a call from Cambridge Subaru this afternoon to confirm that they are reimbursing me for all the charges made by Quenbys plus the cost of four wheel alignment.  Top marks to Cambridge Subaru...

    To be fair thats suprised me, so well done Cambridge Subaru :thumbs::ay:
