    Boot Lighting Upgrade

    Been travelling like crazy the last few months, so just got round to fitting mine over the weekend. They are fabulous, really pleased, big thanks from me too Oz B-Spec for posting these and all the help! BTW - I did find it easier to pull down the roof lining slightly then shove the cable under...

    Hopefully importing JDM GT-S to replace SG9 Forester

    Would love to hear your progress Jamie. Am in the UK and have a 1.6. Also struggle with the pep though for me it is mainly the sleepy CVT not sure 2.0 will fix that dolt but maybe. Tbh I think it is a sw issue the CVT seems capable of changing gear just chooses not to most times. Anyway I added...

    Language Change - Multi Information Display & Multi Function Display

    Nice Anthony thanks for the info have been thinking of importing a 2.0 to the UK as we don't get that model here. Dumb question but there's no way to adjust it to show British mph and mpg instead of that weird km stuff I guess? <wink>

    Boot Lighting Upgrade

    Great find @Oz-B-Spec. They're back on ebay folks, so bought a set. How did you run the wiring from the trunk lid to the passenger side trunk light? The only route seems to feed it through the small cable guide tubing between the lid and car body? How to get it there and then beyond? Sorry -...

    Upgrading Steering

    Judging by the ribbing on the new ones I expect they are more rigid... but tbh I am hard put to tell the difference in feel. I expect there is so much more needing adjusted anway (e.g. bushes, droplinks, tyres). Anyway glad they're in gives me the feeling I tried something at least.

    Tyres

    Ok - quick update. Had been worried about trouble with my brakes around same time I changed tyres and wondered if they were interfering with my mpg. Had them looked at and adjusted and it seems so... as on these new tyres I now get up to 50 mpg on motorway (=extra-urban) driving! And around...

    Tyres

    I have mainly used the RE040 cannot comment on 003. Perhaps they have quite a different compound. I found the "grippy" compound on the 040 wore out very fast. (Of course it depends on the car and driving style but was comparing against Eagles on same car/driver=me). I did find the 040 very...

    Tyres

    I find Bridgestones very predictable and good in dry but very poor in the wet. Gave up on them a long time ago. I also seemed to eat them very fast, they didnt last. 6 months at best.

    Tyres

    Like @Keithb I also came to hate the stock 050 fitted on European cars. Impossible to get hold of the tyres here unless you pay the single supplier a fortune (200 GBP per tyre) and wait a week. And the delicate little things seem to be screw magnets - I lost 2 tyres within a month of getting my...

    Upgrading Steering

    Oh good show. Just got mine done today too. @AKKO how are they different to the ones already fitted on the stock car (which my mechanics replaced with these)? Am trying to convince myself the car feels slightly sharper now but not very noticeable to me (yet). Didnt drive em back to back, had a...

    Hi from Sydney!

    Nope. Just the damp squib. Along with it's other challenges: 1. Steering has weird feedback with little/no feel and heavy/self-centering when unwanted, and fails to centre when wanted. 2. Springs are very crashy, and damping soft and wallowy. Hard to control for driver and sickening for...

    Hi from Sydney!

    Am on 95RON as well. Would be hapy to have more power as well as better efficiency! Really missing my old Impreza GB270, the Levorg is a bit of a damp squib.
