First Subie incoming

[leggy gtb etune]

Hey Fellas and fellets, have a BH5 GTB enroute from the land of the rising sun. Wondering where in the west of ireland mite be a good place to look after it . Also any recommendations on owning one much appreciated, life long boxer fan but this is my cherry popper.

Nice, get in there
Fresh import be sick too.
Getting it safe for Irish fuel be the first shout I'd say anyway, AP Performance be the man there but jeasus he's a hard man to get hold of

Thanks Eoin, Ya it a rev d also so should ve handier to map in the rite hands. Mate used to own one and only topped up every few tanks with booster but he did say it only affected the car after 4-5th refill. Its gonna be a learning curve but done with a big grin.

Get it mapped for Irish fuel and you won't need booster. Parts can be tricky to find, but plenty of resources in the members section if you sign up. Well wear

Cheers lad, ya definitely getting it mapped, when I find the rite guy to do it. Possible road trip for that. So now just the long wait till it gets here and starts ruining my life

Has anyone imported one of these lately ? And how much vrt are they robbing for one currently?

Lovely wagon

It'll be 43% of what they determine is the Open Market Selling Price (OMSP)
They literally pull that value out of their holes on the day and base the 43% off that

Ya was fearing the worst, hoping for the best. I seen the 36k some fella paid for the v6 v limited earlier in the year. I saw they only have 1 option on vrt calculator and it was 1850 but again they make their own rules. If any lads fancy putting theirs up on donedeal for cheap and put my number to help a fella out feel fee

Welcome along nice looking legacy make sure you get it mapped and drive handy as when I had my rev d down to be mapped he said it’s was detonating it’s head off at 2000 revs because of the twin turbo system so add a but of booster to it and take it handy
Regarding vrt who knows 1800-2500 at a guess after an appeal but expect to pay 3000-3500

Cheers, excited but dreading the wait. Those foresters are a sweet machine too. A lad I played rugby with had a bh5 in 2007 and got an evo 9 after. Didn't last too long b4 he had himself an forester sti and doing track days in mondello.
