Drove it to work, drove it after work, went fast on windy roads. Took it to the fuel station, filled it up, checked the oil, found the screen washer fluid was low so bought some and topped it off, checked and adjusted tyre pressures.

On the way home I let it do a big, happy burn-out on an empty road. I love this silly car.

Installed my GReddy Evo GT catback. It sounds so nice with the OEM header. Has a similar shift noise like that if a DSG GTi. I love it. I'm really contemplating leaving my header OEM and NOT the UEL I have to install.

My only concern is the left exhaust tip hangs slightly lower than the right side.

Installed swift lowering springs, white line lower control arms and white line camber bolts. Car feels very floaty. Hoping it’s more so my need for an alignment than it is the springs. Also got a nice gash in my hand that required six stitches. Xxr 527s and an alignment coming soon!

Out with the old, in with the new.

Loving the Subie boxer rumble...along with some added power and torque!

Now for an OFT Stage 2...

(Catted because it's my DD...and also, I'm old )

Did you drive it much with just the header before you got the tune?

Not at all. I had a tune before I got the header. Which was ok then when I put the header on and went stage 2 tune it was night and day. Torque dip all but gone and the car was more responsive.

Checked out the tS in the showroom. (For the second time.)

Did up some paper work.



Hope this ends better then my last purchase.
