KiDo Tunes - Hands on in Melb and Syd. Limited dates

OK, Matt gave me an update when he was in Adelaide a few weeks ago, and my god.......if you haven't been fortunate enough to get it yet, or are still thinking about having a tune, then read on, because it most definitely should be done!
I had Matt do my first tune in November last year and WOW, it was a huge improvement over stock. Massive. Changed the entire car.
So I thought an update would just be some minor stuff that I probably wouldn't really notice. Boy, how wrong I was!
Before he got here, Matt told me to hold on to my hat when he did the update. And that had me wondering, how much more can there be?
Well, to start with the torque increase is something you can instantly feel. It really is THE car to drive now! The gear changes are even tighter and smoother, if that's possible. The car feels even more amazing now. Also feels like Matt has been able to eek out a touch more power too. And I'm sure there are a dozen other things in there that I can't feel that have been improved. The other thing Matt was able to tell me that my front AFR sensors were shot, so a little bit of dicking around has given me a pair delivered to my door from the US at the same cost as one from Subaru Australia. Unbelievable. So at the moment my fuel economy is still up the shit, but sensors will be installed very soon. So given these sensors have a seemingly short(ish) life span, have them checked.
So, after all this, I will be eating my own words.......after Matt's first update I told my cousin that I was happy, and that I'd leave it there........well, a set of Tim's stainless headers and a retune from Matt later, I'm now looking very very seriously at Tim's intake upgrade, (in fact, it's a given. I'm buying one!) and I'm sure that still won't be enough for me!!! On one hand I hate you guys for providing products that I want......and the money keeps rolling out the door! but on the other love you guys for delivering me a car that is really awesome to drive and so much fun!

I'm half way through my 3 week holiday in NZ, driving around both north & south islands (3500km in a surprisingly ok little Mazda 2). And I'm still amazed that basically every 5th car is a Liberty Wagon (Legacy here, like the rest of the world). I had no idea. I'm in heaven! :D

If u own a certain car, you always spot them among all other cars. But in Aus I might see a few Libertys a day. Here it's becoming a running joke between my gf and I, how ridiculously many there are! In traffic we'll literally spot 5 Libertys every single minute. Almost all are Wagons (only seen 4 or 5 Sedans), and about half Gen 4s and half Gen 3s. I've only seen 2 or 3 Gen 5s. And more than half seem to be GTs, which is cool. And there aren't nearly as many Imprezas, which is the opposite of Aus (at least where I live).
