The car feels solid to me, trans is shifting fine so far. Its coming up on its 60k service so Ill be using my bore scope to have a look in the cylinders real soon when I replace the plugs. So far what theyve told me that was on the car has added up, I drove the car, listened to what jimmy had to say and checked it online for myself, for the most part he was pretty str8 forward about what was on the car. I work as a tech at fields BMW so Ill be taking care of most of the service on the car myself, however Id still like to converse with some of you guys in person about the car and subaru's in general. Who is S&R btw?

Thank you One detractor so far though, these brakes dust like a SOB. Had the car for three days and already had to wipe the rims down.

Ill be looking into those when the brakes start to get worn, I just picked up some coolant, plugs, and rear diff oil from the dealer in tampa and I put in the factory boost gauge tonight as well.

They said the car was tuned and I believe them now, the gauge shows .13mpa which is roughly 18.8psi boost. Guy at the dealer emailed me back and is supposed to be getting me the missing plug and software CD for the accessport that was in the car so I can have a look and see whats in the car right now. Does S&R have a all wheel dyno so that I could take the car there and have a couple runs done just to make sure everythings good?

First mod should be a wideband no need to take it to dyno aem wideband will tell you more accurately how your air/fuels are at WOT and at different boost transitions.

Go see Bobby at S&R. They are relatively close to you. Might as well let them check everything over.

Id have to save for a bit to do the wideband, also reading the gauge this morning its getting to about .12 not .13, easier to read since it didnt have the glare from last night so its about at 18 even roughly.
