I take it the red octopus is an earthing kit? Do you notice any difference by adding it?
Oh and lovely looking car![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
Thanks very much! Yes an earthing kit, bit of redness to match my silicone vac lines and I noticed brighter lights and slightly better starting from cold. Suppose the current to the ECU and sparks are cleaner too so every little helps Oh and lovely looking car

Although I don;t have a Subaru anymore, I used to be a complete Scoobyholic as follows -
First Subaru - MY96 UK Wagon
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/drumsterphil/Scooblights.jpg)
I then sold that with the aim not to buy a car to modify and ended up buying RB5 #190
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/drumsterphil/RB5wheels2.jpg)
However, best laid plans and all that and it got changed somewhat -

I was running 350bhp on a standard UK car when most people thought 300 was the limit - courtesy of an HKS 2835, also trialed Tek2 maps in conjunction with EVC5's without issue for 50,000 redline miles - car was amazing (my now ex-wife bought it off me and took it to a whole new level.....) I could probably write a book on what was done to this car, but there was very little RB5 left at the end, but what a car.....
Then this appeared -

22B #049 - this came with AP 6pots but it didn't stay in that spec for long (Coilovers, Simtek ECU, Exhaust, Interior and some custom made Braid wheels to mimic the WRC98 car) - at the time this was probably the most used 22B in the country as I used it as my daily driver for 3 years doing well over 10k a year in it + track days

I then got the urge for a 08STi Hatch and modified it to create this (fully forged engine, BRD remap, Magnaflow, Eibachs, Team Dynamics wheels, Recaro CS seats)

I then found time to also have these -
MY97 UK car (with Simtek ECU)- Wolf in sheeps clothing...lol

Subaru Tribeca -

They're all gone now but I have fond memories of them all (just not the amount I spent modifying them and the fuel they used....)
