This is how a Cosworth should look IMHO...
If I change that front bumper it will be for the MY11 type.

LADSoc Meet January 2014
Can't believe it's 2014 already.
Been a bit of a quiet Christmas for the Cosworth as I'm running out of small things to do and seem to be running into huge bills at the moment. I warn you all - avoid getting married, don't have kids and don't buy a house if you'd rather spend all your dorrah on your car
Anyways, I bumped into another Scoobynet member earlier local to me and his stunning Spec C this morning which I even got to sit in. Top bloke too, was great catching up outside of the old Facebook for once

I need to get a shot next to yours to complete a very desirable JDM hat trick!
But it still would be and that's why I have a big box in the garage marked "OEM". To be fair my car is already looking different with the red Hellas, rear under diffuser, carbon side vents etc.
Yeah I know but it's not high up on my list of priorities Rob. Once I've moved into the new place and my car is out of warranty you know what I have planned

February LADSoc meet and in for Warranty Work
Hmm, a dilemma. I had planned to remap the car when the warranty ran out but it would appear my car has a three year warranty and not a two year one. Currently feeling that I should hold out until February of 2015! Might be tempted to spend those funds elsewhere...
So away went the Cosworth after the LADSoc meet at the beginning of January, and there she stayed while we were away in the Canary Islands - a great place to spend the last couple of weeks of the worst month of the year.
I got her out last weekend and took her to the LADSoc meet, thanks to Marius for the pics
Unfortunately when my car was last in for a service in December the front shocks were shown to be in the early stages of a well known problem that affects the Bilsteins fitted. So today she was dropped off at Mangoletsi for that work to be carried out under warranty, excellent service by Adam and Simon.
I parked up next to this nice looking motor...
And I've been given this very pleasant courtesy car until the shocks have been replaced, a Citroen DS4.

Am wondering at the moment if the STi grille badge should stay at the moment though. Think I'm going to take it off.

Looking very nice there Richard, I'd keep it as is personally - it's discrete and looks OEM without screaming look at me.
As for fitting the later style bumper again I'd leave it as it is now, I wouldn't want to take it too far away from the original styling.
As for your quandary on the remapping I'd leave it on the factory mapping until the warranty runs out and then straight off to get an Ecutek Race Rom remap carried out.

Someone said a while back on here that these Cosworths only came with a two year warranty. So I booked my car in for a service and asked them to have a good close look at her before Christmas, and the shock issue was picked up.
Two years has passed but noone from Subaru has contacted me yet. Probably because it's three years according to them...
Anyway, I have had the front shocks replaced under warranty - took less than two weeks to get them in and fitted, far quicker than many others have experienced.
I could not resist a little upgrade in the meantime, and ordered a set of genuine wind deflectors [E3610FG000].
I fitted them as soon as I got home, an easy install it was too.
Firstly, wind down the windows and heat the inside of the window frame with a hair dryer or heat gun at low temp. I decided to lift it out with a squeegie as I didn't want to tear anything by accident.
Work along until you have exposed the frame underneath.
Line up and mark the positions out, and then heat the adhesive backing. Remove the protective tap and hook the clips under the frame. Place down firmly and hold for a minute or so. Push the frame back in and you're done.

LADSoc Meet March 2014
Met up with the LADS today and parked up next to this very smart WR1.
Went for a drive with another member of the club who has a newage saloon running an MD321 billet turbo and pretty much zero lag. The OEM setup of the Cosworth makes for a formidable machine that is easy to live with but it is is laggy and has left me counting down the days of remaining warranty so that it can be mapped out.

I'll drop you a text a few days before the next meet Immy!
Gayve was saying he should bring his wrench set so he can nick the front discs!
Thing is, what he doesn't realise is that while he was busy doing that I'd be nicking that MD321 off his
