    Steering rack issue

    My EDM 1.6GT is just coming up to 3 years old (27000 miles, 43000 km) and therefore the bumper to bumper warranty is about to expire. Right on cue, a few days ago I noticed a knock in the steering when rocking the steering wheel back and forth whilst stationary. Took it to my local dealer (50...

    Changing summer/winter wheels - does TPMS make this difficult?

    The TPMS sensors are inside the tyre, on the ends of the valves. The shop will transfer them to the studded tyres I would think.

    1.6l Modifications/Tunes

    For anyone wishing to go ahead with a remap for the 1.6, it would be worth contacting Edward at http://xtremeracingtuning.com who does remote tunes from Barbados. He has an excellent reputation with Legacy and Impreza owners worldwide, and has done work on the latest DIT WRX with CVT.

    1.6l Modifications/Tunes

    I'm sure the FB16 has a lot more in it, 200 bhp should be easily achievable with just a remap, and maybe exhaust. It's aleady got a CAI. However, the CVT would also need to be remapped too to get the best out of it as the engine/transmission are programmed to work together. The Levorg is not...

    Rear roof spoiler

    I have the factory spoiler as above, and the rear screen gets filthy in the wet. All show I'm afraid.

    CVT replacement!

    I have just discovered my 1.6 does have the second cooler, in front of the radiator. If yours is a Euro spec car, it probably has one too.

    White MY17 wrapped grille, mirror caps

    Snap! I've also got a white MY17 with EyeSight (see avatar). Got a black roof too. Would you be interested in more black bits? I have a genuine STI front lip, Sti side skirts, and rear under spoiler. Also a set of the dealer option STI alloys, in black, 18x8.5 with good Avon tyres. Let me know...

    CVT replacement!

    What kills the TR580 is too much torque, no amount of cooling will change that. The Levorg has a transmission temp warning light, no mention of that being lit in the original post. The manual WRX doesn't have eyesight, only the CVT one does, so a manual swap is not an option. Bottom line is, if...

    CVT replacement!

    No second cooler on my 1.6, just the stock oil-water one. All coolers are heat exchangers. The torque handling capacity of the TR580 gearbox is the limiting factor with the 1.6. The 2L has the TR690, a completely different transmission, with higher torque rating.

    Change to 17" wheels

    My 1.6 GT came with the dealer option STI wheels - 18x8.5, running 245/40 tyres. Too much wheel for this car with my usage, especially for the great British B road. Car felt ponderous at times, the low speed ride was confused, and it tramlined a lot. So I sorted it out with very light (6.9kg)...

    Black roof is a vinyl wrap. Mirrors painted. So far, I'm liking it a lot. The engine is a peach, CVT is great. It's over-wheeled with 18x8.5 and 245 tyres - they tramline a bit, and are heavy. Looking for some 17x7.5 that are nice and light. RPF1s maybe?

    Picked up a 2017 1.6 GT today, eyesight model. STI wheels and body kit. This is my 7th successive Subaru, my last was an '09 Outback 3.0R. I'm looking forward to getting to know it.
