Have any history on it .

 

[KENC]

I think I could have had that a long time ago, like 7-8 years ago.

Not sure, does it have a red inter cooler pipe work? Copy of an sti spoiler??

 

[colly]

Thanks ken , yeah that the one.

Have you any history , spec , work carried out .

When I got that car, it had an exhaust system, hdi Fmic, It had a different turbo on it, I think it was either a 16g or 18g, probably 16g. It had been last mapped by Andy Forrest, and had 2 different boost maps that were selected by the re defogger button and the accelerator pedal.

I sold it to a man called I think was call Pat Drennin, and it went down to cork or Kerry somewhere.

Last I heard about the car was he had left it into to Subaru main dealer and they had erased the maps.
Whether they did or not I don't know, and that's the last I heard of the car.

It's a long time ago now so I doubt its same

 

[KENC]

Oh and it probably would have been mapped for 1/2 bottle Lucas booster to a tank of 95ron

Ken did you swap a white classic Sti for that car by any chance?

 

[KENC]

Yea I made a big mistake and swapped my v6 sti with it, Dave Lewis was the chaps name. I was disappointed with the Wrx compared to the sti. They were worlds apart event do the bugeye should have been up around 280bhp

 

[DUFFMAN]

Ya he's a friend of mine and the white Sti was sweet.

The white sti had only an exhaust system and was mapped for 95, but Fuk me could it move, it was a really really fresh low mileage engine, even Andy F commented on how it would just take more and more timing and boost. Dave went and done his own thing with it but to this day it's probably the nicest car, power wise, power delivery wise, and power use ability wise that I have ever had the pleasure of owning. I used it as an everyday day car for a long time.. Then the thought of a car with big turbo, Fmic... Bla bla as a straight swap sucked me in, Dave had the original turbo back on the car when I drove it and I swapped with the stupid idea that when the td05 went on to it that it would be mental, but it was a big mistake sold it shortly after.
