I brought the hks dumpvalve but cant fit it as the intercooler is too large and coil pack is in the way which is a pain! imo the hks sounds the best,gutted!!

The engines do sound different.

My Forester is quiet, but even notwithstanding that, when I'm defrosting the cars with both running it is really clear that they differ.

Car looks good mate. :)

Great looking car mate, 1 of the best looking classics in my opinion:yeah:

Great looking Classic :)

Nice looking motor mate, I'm pretty sure I've seen this a few times around eastbourne?? Last time was about a week ago coming out of Langley shopping centre petrol station, I was in a silver bug behind you? Nice

Love the rb5. It's what I originally started trying to persuade the other half with, but she didn't want an older car. Must be a real handful running that power now.

Cheers all! Yeah it definatly sounds differnt!!
dan.. i do float about mate but dont recall seeing you unless i was half asleep! haha, was that you that past me near zennif chickin saturday afternoon?? power does vary willow! do notices changes between cold nights and the mild ones powers great but id like to be a passenger init to get a real feel, cant really boost atm due not not having the nurspec mapped in so goin to have to wait now till after xmas!!

Most probably was mate, I live in about 5 mins away from there so am always going past zennif, **** holes closed down now lol,

Haha! yeah was proper grimey in there anyway!! i had some proper dirty chicken the batter wernt cooked and got a mouthful of oil!! shame really i love chicken and chips thats been taken over about 5 times now! i wish i had the money id turn into a nice burger place!! id be my own best customer haha!!

Saw an RB on the A21 Saturday and shock horror I was in the Scoob for a change.

You not take it out much then i take it?

Yeah it was a proper ****ter mate, don't know what their doing there now though.yeah could do with a decent burger place, the only one around is either uncle sams or gourmet burger,
