bmx045 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 get the service records and oil change intervals (extremely important). sometimes the stock subaru tunes can cause some hesitation feeling under wot. take the car to a mechanic of your choice to have it checked out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a TSB to take care of that. Same on my Spec B when I bought it. Dealer ref lashed and it was pretty much fixed. Went OpenSource after and that all she wrote. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanaenk Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Dealer ref lashed and it was pretty much fixed. Nope, it only helps temporarily. Went OpenSource after and that all she wrote. And this is why you think it works. 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurolatin33 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 well good to know that it can at least be tuned out, we have a very good tuner that uses opensource here and hopefully he can smooth that out for me. i should be getting my car today .... hopefully, waiting for transport now its been 3 weeks without a car ... hope the wait was worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurolatin33 Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 well i finally got my car today and the wait was well worth it.... i have right front wheel bearing problem that will get sorted next week. This car is awesome though is the perfect mix of luxury and sport, it will definitely need suspension, brakes and complete sti powertrain but overall quite happy with it. First mod to it was the Hogzaust lol, it actually makes a really nice tone rumble that will carry me over until i get an exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
