I've ordered some STI bits from Japan, which again is taking a long while

Whilst my splitter is still on the high seas and my loweriing springs are still at the factory, my tower bar has arrived

Twiddling my thumbs now as my car is with Litchfield Imports, being remapped with the Ecutek tool by the Uk's Subaru and Nissan GTR tuning supremo, Iain Litchfield.

Also fitting Milltek unresonated full exhaust system and some track related brake improvements

2 trackdays coming up Silverstone and Spa; might even be supercharged by then.

Managed a nice dry trackday at Silverstone on the F1 Grand Prix Circuit.

Shared the track with some lovely metal.......

Yes that is a historic Group C ( Le mans ) race car







Fantastic pictures. Especially with the BRZ rolling with so many amazing cars.

What a fantastic-looking racetrack! I wish my local tracks looked like that! Keep us updated on that supercharger info

Hello from Number 1 Russia BRZ )

looks just like yours ) WRB FTW!

Our Yearly Quota for 150,000,000 people country is < 100 cars

Also waiting for the Milltek Exhaust to arrive

Good luck!

in my case Subaru also sent a photographer, but a rookie one, so the only shot I got was that:

Sounds fantastic in the cabin, with no drone at cruising speeds and it is what you would want under full throttle Under part throttle around town it is not too loud ( I have the full system so partial decat.)

Pipes look good on the car



I bought it to tune the car though and it works well with my Ecutek remap

Another trip to Silverstone coming up and a double track day at Spa on Nov 10/11 so it will get a good workout.:happy0180:

I ordered the resonated primary catback (so it removes the second catalyser, like you). Can't wait!
Thanks a lot for the feed back I suppose we'll end up meeting at Spa or the N'Ring, eventually!
