Yes Sean, one of those bad boys.

Bit of a lazy update.

GTX3582R and RCM engine has been in the Forester for a few months now. Broke a 6 speed Spec C close ratio box, went back to a 5 speed, dropped boost to 13psi and promptly cracked the 5 speed at the bell housing. Now on the original 5 speed from the car on 13psi gate pressure and its hanging together. Have since discovered the clutch gudgeon pin was stopping full clutch engagement so brass pucks of the VF were disengaging but the organic was grabbing. Gudgeon pin replaced, clutch fluid bled and sorted
Want Spec C gearbox back in before I chase power again.

Selling my Pulsar, it has a new home lined up pending inspection after fresh paint applied and engine was checked over for tolerances.
STi found a new home 2 weeks ago(its bound for Sydney where it will see track duties)

GLA45 has been through 2 injectors replaced at AMG in Sydney as local dealer is not authorised for AMG repairs. Not fussed on the tyre wear rates so new Michelin rubber been fitted to see if we can get more than 15000kms from a set of 4 tyres

This left me in need of a new daily.
Tossed up buying an 2012 Impreza FB20 and fitting a Raptor Supercharger
Nearly bought a CX5 for wife and was going to keep GLA45 for myself
Was seriously tempted by a 2015 C63 AMG. Wife and house plans said no...

Ultimately, an email to FHI approved by Docklands resulted in being able to access a FA20DiT WRX with factory fitted BBS wheels, Brembos, S4 bumper/grille/DRL's, Recaro seats and STi rear wing. Basically a fully optioned S4/STi with the FA20DiT engine.

That's a killer update Matt.

The thought of the WRX sounds insane. Cant wait for the updates you do to this.
Cheers

Uploading here when its not so 'beta' spec.

Still deciding if the FMIC was a good idea or I do a W2A where stock airbox once was.

W2A ftw. I had one of those on my supercharged ford. Worked amazingly well.

Just a lazy update before I head to bed

No more AMG, too small and too quick for a family hatch... wife knows wht she likes so new car will be a beast once done :)

Sunrise MY16 FA20DiT WRX arrived, already tuned of course with a TK Titanium Exhaust, FMIC kit, meth inj kit controlled by factory ECU's TGV control scripted with a custom table making 277Kw on meth, 244 on pure 98 :) Great little engines!
Waiting on a PW TMIC to finalise the car then heading to Sydney for some times :)

I also bought a GC8 WRX... EcuLabs tuned, 218Kw@wheels from a VF24 on a stock motor with a 06 WRX 5 speed. Tidy little unit :)
