Maybe I'll take it for a blast over the Buttertubs..............once I'm 100% sure I can get fuel back into her.

It's not frozen shut - it's just not releasing open on its own without me shoving something into the gap to help it.

Why? A proper remap from a reputable tuner is vastly better than the stock map produced by subaru on the poo.5's! As long as you don't go for silly numbers/boost it's a much better bet to get it done.

I understand, but its a big risk given the history of the 2.5 and that it'll invalidate what little warranty you have.

Disappointing to hear you haven't really got on with the new STi, but after coming from a Focus RS I can actually understand why as it would have to take something really special to fill the RS's shoes, and to be honest a 300bhp STi with 4wd will never give you the same driving buzz.
I suspect the biggest issue is that the steering on the Focus RS is awesome, makes the car feel very chuckable. It's not so hot on the majority of UK spec Imprezas. They all benefit from work on this and feel much more involving for it. |

Yeah, but you've specifically bought that package, and Subaru UK don't do the warranty.

To the op, before making any decisions would it not be worth a drive of one with the remap from Mangoletsi. It maybe a cost you don't want to pay but could be a game changer and maybe similar to the costs you may have with getting rid. |

It's been said enough times in this thread and others that you can get a remap and 5yr warranty from Mangoletsi. I find it odd that people don't acknowledged this and you are having to remind them. :thumb:

At the risk of being stoned......what would my sti be worth now? Would the only option be trying to sell to a Subaru dealer who might have a buyer....?

Debating whether to make a few phone calls to the closest dealers just to see what they say. But as you say, they have to make a profit at the end of the day......

If I could just have a crystal ball so I'd know a ball-park figure what a 24 month sti will be worth come mid 2016............
Might sell it at 1 year old. Wonder if any dealers would be interested even now? 12 months 20% of purchase price 24 months 35% of purchase price 36 months 50% of purchase price

So i'd probably get offered the same money now, as I would in another 6 months time when it's one year old................
Just checked on Autotrader. Ex-demo cars are going for (cheapest) £26995............ |
You lose the VAT when you drive away from the showroom so -20% seems sensible.
|
Anyone changed from a STI Hatch to a 2015 saloon?
Just after some opinions? Is it worth it for a better interior? Is the better handling noticeable or do you really have to be pushing it? |
Back in an RS by the end of the month.
Happy days - expensive lesson learned though. |

I can't see how, when you already knew what an RS was like and you must have test driven the new STi, so knew what to expect before you bought it? You must have more money than sense :) You've basically spunked away 5K or more, nuts.

I can't remember who by but you can get the equivalent of the 500 for much less from a ford authorised tuner.
