And guess what, when asked about mapping he replied,
"na not had it mapped, runs sweet though "


Give me strength

So he's made major changes including removing the MAF and not had it mapped...nice..

I love these kind for sale ads where they estimate the power by "racing" a car that has X-bhp so the car for sale must be Y-bhp

Oh............and the price...14K!

ebay's full of adverts like this which is why i don't even bother looking. I'd get the point if the sellers wrote a genuine and sensible advert i'd just accept it as someone elses poor taste in mods, it's the bull**** power figures that pisses me off. Just under 500bhp from a 20g because he sat beside a 480bhp Evo.

My Astra diesel must have a million horse power... Sat Next to a bike. At the lights pulling away. I nearly had him as I went to second. Probably doing 20 at 2k revs but I had to turn left...


Dear robsyuk,

No it runs sweet and sound. The mods have been on there for a year and the car is still faultless.
Viewing is welcome
Many thanks Ryan

Would an unmapped car use more fuel / feel lumpy etc?

WHY? is the only question !

I have seen this while at Lakeside 1 Saturday night and it does look nice, but the huge intercooler sticking out the front is just wrong and the fact its unmapped and not running a MAF would make me steer well clear of it.

It does look nice in the flesh but thats mainly down to the colour and its obvious this guy really has no idea what he's doing as anyone with a bit of knowledge of Subaru's would tell him that this needs to be mapped for what he's done to it and given that he's been driving it without it being mapped the damage could have already been done so eventually this is going to go BANG in a big way.
