1030Kg at a guess

Hi Frank, I wouldn't know to be honest !! What's that often quoted term ?............... Oh, Yes............ Speak to your Mapper

I took another 5Kg to the Coup yesterday, so the diet goes on even in my car in its current form Good luck ---john---

Hi Russ, great minds think alike !! (or is it the other option that applies ) S6GP, I'll build a bespoke loom for the car so not really an issue (hopefully) The knock control appears to be the big benefit over other products out there. The Help and Advice from Pat and Charlie have been second to none. It would be a brave man that questioned Pats' technical knowledge. Just need to sort out everthing else that should be under the bonnet and time is marching on......... ---john---

I might still ask for my 'Loaner' back

Been doing a lot of thinking recently and decided the way forward for the car is to replace the MAF based Apexi with something a little more capable. Don't get me wrong the Apexi has been great. Really like the convenience of the Commander as you can diagnose issues and tweek the thing really easily without running around plugging laptops in. Last year I had Simtek firmly in my mind, and still like it, this one ticks all the boxes though. Nice to be spoiled by choice This is what we have chosen. Very impresive wee box. Does everything I could need and backed by some very clever Peeps. I doesn't take a 'Rocket' scientist to figure out who'll be doing the tweeking for me Specs here: http://www.solaris-ecs.com/

Not hard at all as long as you take it out in lots of little bits. If you want it out with a view to replacing then the dash and other bits need to come out. Just tear it up ---john---

Take the carpets up and break off the sound deadening. The 4 floor areas, under the back seat and boot will yeild 10kg (pick the coldest day of the year to do it and it will make a pain in the ass an easy task). The sound proofing mat on the bulkhead will give you another 10 !! ---john---

Boot from an RA is no lighter than any other Impreza, no matter what you've read, the only panel on an RA that is lighter is the bonnet !! ---john---

1100Kg is pretty easy, mostly about removing bits or fitting the right ones as David has pointed out. You can get a 4dr down to just over 1000Kg, but it's bloody hard work though. ---john---

I think Dave was replying to Dale, re: the plate being familiar.

Ah Crap !!

Forgot to mention the that's because the car is on the trailer

I've always been a bit indifferent about this, the drive there and the drive back have always been similar, car feels much the same, economy similar etc.

I'm sure the new owner will take care of that Alan, Performance Friction. ---john---

What makes you think they'll be used ? The Disks are 2.8kg lighter than the STi Brembos that came off

STi Brembos removed, these bad boys installed in there place

Wher are the rear of the harnesses attached ? I certaily wouldn't have them at that angle !!!!!

I have a PC680 and it starts the car just fine. ---john---

I have an Icle wee one in the race car

Mark, where exacly do you live, we can't be far from each other ? ---john---

Jeez, you're rubbish

Gav, I'd be very interested in anything you could tell me about it/ it's history, the current owner would be equally interested. thanks ---john---

Na, not the same car Gav. It used to be a really putrid Orange

I have an old scabby thing here, it's not very clever though. Have you something in mind ? ---john---
