Then, from AliExpress, rubber mats for all of the cubby holes, cup holders etc. I just wish I asked for a red edging rather than black.
Have you a link to where you purchased these Rob? Thanks

Every so often I treat the car to a bottle of this stuff. Placebo or not, it makes the car feel so more responsive

You get this in Australia? If so from where? Auto barn?
I'm in the UK but I imagine they are world wide.
Type the name / brand in Google and see if it comes up in your area

I agree it totally makes a difference to the shite petrol here in Ireland too. Also since the car is much newer i imagine the ECU is good at pulling the timing based on the fuel type it sees. How often do you through the NF in?

Probably every 5 months or so.
If you have a jdm import, it may be worth getting it mapped to the fuel in Ireland

Yes i have a JDM import. I do worry about mapping alongside the CVT though.

K2GEAR grill installed with working camera.

Hardest part was getting the bumper back on. It's fiddly trying to line it all up.

Took 3hrs total but needed to build the camera into the grill.

Tempted to remove the K2gear logo and put a subaru badge or Sti logo. Or leave it and put an Sti logo on the grill.

Very interesting. Where & when does the front camera pop up for you?

It's part of the eyesight. Indicating left or reversing it comes up. Or if I press the button on the dash and cycle through to it. Then it'll stay on while driving

Now at 92800k.

I'm the kind of person who does things as part of maintenance rather than when it needs doing so today I performed an inlet clean.

I removed a breather pipe and sprayed quarter of a can in with the engine off.
Left it for 10mins and then started the car.

Once started I got the wife to hold the revs while I sprayed until around a quarter of the can was left. The revs went crazy high so I told her to quickly shut the car off.

We were left with the car constantly struggling to idle, so performed a the idle relearn.

This made zero difference and I was worried I had damaged the maf sensor while cleaning it.
I performed the idle learn again and could hear a vacume leak.

Amazingly I found a pipe had popped off from the boost solenoid (I think) one I didn't touch but a 3rd relearn and she's idling so smooth.

I went for a drive and it could be placebo but it feels so smooth.

Plugs & all fluids next.

Interior lights finally upgraded to led. Ordered 41mm which were far too big, and a little battle with the seller for an exchange and they are done.

Stereo next
Are these easy to change? Are you able to share where you got the LED's from?

Ultra easy. Use a thin flat head screw driver and carefully pop them open.

Check the size of your current bulbs as I just ordered from a post on here (41mm) and mine are 31mm long.
Once you have the right size they just pop in and out. Remember, you old ones may be hot if you have had them come on with the door open.

If you put the led in and it doesn't work, turn them around.
