On that same website, it suggests that only 491 of the 500 WR1's and 289 of the 320 RB320's......do you think people have bought them unregistered and stuck them in the Garage?

 

Their lose = my gain

 

Thats mine!!

There are no unregistered ones left - and probably a handful now at the dealerships (if anyone wants one PM me and i'll hook you up with a new one - im not selling mine!!!!)

 

Hi Mikey,

Picked it up this morning.....love it already!

Got it wrong, it is number 59. Just couple of quick questions if you don’t mind?

I have never had a new car or needed to run in, so if this is a stupid question I apologise. I have been doing as instructed and not gone over 3k rpm, but I am still get a vague burning smell.......very mild, but smells all the same.

Also, when I unlock the car with the key fob, it only opens the driver door. I have then tried waiting and pressing again to unlock the other doors, but it just locks the car. What am I doing wrong?

Cheers in advance

 

With running in you should keep the revs low at about 3-4k for the first 1000miles but give it a little boost of 0.5 bar to bed the rings in. just don't hold the boost or do it from low revs in high gears.

With the unlocking, i think if you press once it unlocks the drivers door. If you press twice it unlocks the whole car but the two presses need to be within a second or so of each other and before you open the drivers door.

 

press fob...watch light on indicator go out ..immediately press again...or open yr door then press door unlock button

burning smell is probably exhaust bedding in. Come on you two wheres the pics???

 

Here you go

 

Not sure of the accuracy of this but my local dealer told me that when the CS was announced, various dealers (including them) put in orders for several cars but once they realised that said cars had to be paid for upfront by the dealer there was some serious back-pedaling! That's apparently the reason that all 75 appeared to be sold shortly after the announcement.

True or not, I couldn't say, but sounds plausible...ish.

 

Nice one .)))

 

Great stuff - be careful out there!!!

Smell is probably exhaust - or you might be riding the clutch too!!! - I did that a couple of times and that does smell!. If it persists after 100 miles or so i;d call the dealer.

Keyfob drives me nuts - one press count 1, 2 second press - voila. Despite knowing this I still manage to not do it more often than I do!....I believe you MAY be able to overide this but I will have to check that again. Drives my wife mad when I dont manage to unlock the car.

more than anything, enjoy!!

 

Come on then mikey wheres ya pics

 

CS400 is like that bus you wait for then never arrives then three come at once!!!

 

Yes we do but its a saph not a subaru lol

 

Needs a clean first - ill take some over the weekend !!

 

Disabling the selective unlocking is a fairly simple procedure which your dealer should know how to do. Just requires a small amount of rewiring so is DIY-able but probably best to let your dealer do it if the car is still under warranty.

HTH, Neil

 

Piece of cake to disable the selective unlocking.

 

It's bugs the crap out of me so when it's in next week to get the rear damage sorted out care of some thankless tosser who can't park so scraped my rear bumper then drove off I can get crossroads to sort that too !!

 

Sorry to hear that,thats the trouble when theyre new and shiny thet attract mishaps im sure
Finished running mine in yesterday,had 1000miles check up and oil n filter....ive given it a little tickle...my god it goes ...sounds pretty good too
Had dealer to look at locking,he said theyve been told not to modify it.

 

I have done 350 miles in three days.....only 650 to go, then let the fun begin

 

giv it a rev...u know u wanna...itll be fine

 

Guess they may be scared that if you get someone rob your wallet off your seat as your passenger door is open you will hold them liable!

I'm sure someone on here will tell you how to do it - I thought the keypad could change the settings but i'm probably wrong!

 

Nothing to do with the keypad, It can be done and has been done I've done several & even subaru sent out the bulletin to the dealers on how to do it ages ago. Not at liberty to divulge that sort of information unfortunately

 

I can live with it

 

K'in hell guys!

Bet half of the people moaning about the price have spent a fortune modding.

And comparing it to two RWD cars?

Maybe, just maybe the guy wanted a practical hatch with 4wd, a warranty and nigh on 400bhp.

 

what interior tweaks does it have?

 

Piano black inserts
CS400 steering wheel aka two tone leather
Custom made cosworth seats
custom entry kick panels..

 

The seats are just the 08 base STi seats with a retrim IIRC - and not having the 330S/MY11 Recaros in a £50K 'special edition' car is taking the pi55!

The base STi seats are rubbish IMHO, having sat in them daily for the last 3 odd years.

 

no KeyLess entry.. or DVD/SatNav though.

 

No they are just f**king lazy, you have bought an expensive car off them.... tell them you know they have had a bulletin on how to do it so to get the **** on with it.

Of all the car dealers in the country you would think a Subaru dealer would be the most willing to help seeing as they are selling so few cars right now.

Main dealers boil my p1ss! All, not just Subaru!

 

I ssssooooo do....but I can wait. Patience is a virtue and all that. At the rate I am going it will only be a couple of weeks or so.

I was having a look through the manual at the Si-Drive and Slip diff Auto (Plus+) and (Minus-) settings.....do you ever use them? Is there anywhere to get a tutorial on it all?
