Not my cup of JD on the rocks at all!

You can see though that the market for the cars is 100% Euro hatch. I think they've gone the "let's design it for the Euro market, and if it sells anywhere else, BONUS!"

I think it's they're way of trying to up sales, and targeting the hot hatch of Europe has proven a gold mine for most car makers. Subura have so far been more of a "niche" brand, and never really mass sales like Toyota, Ford, GM, Nissan etc.

As far as the STI goes though, I can picture half of Englands hoodlums tearing up the streets in them.

For some reason i get flashbacks of the Ali G movie and the hatcgbacks in that :-)

Unfort you die with the looks you are born with and in my eye the wrx has always suffered in this dept....this new offering is no different.

I think what a lot of you are missing is the fact that it wasn't only designed for the european market or any market for that matter. The current wrx is getting killed in the wrc due to the fact that a smaller hatchback body is more suited to rally and so if subaru want to get back to its winning form they had to change their design.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
