Always wanted one of these. Such a cool looking thing!

Just to add: I could be wrong, but it looks like the wheel refurb place painted the mating face of your wheels? It's worth getting this flattened back to the metal or you'll end up with wheel wobble when braking (after a bit of use).
Apologies if I'm teaching you how to suck eggs, I just remember having the same problem on my old 370z.

Just bringing this thread to an end. Sold the car today. Wasn’t using it and was just sitting in the garage. Will be replacing it with a newer car to replace it/my daily and just running the one.
Currently looking for an Alpina D3/B3 Touring or a F31 330d.

Shame to see it go when you had put so much effort into it. Just booked my STi into Grinspeed for geometry setup on the back of reading this thread. I'm hoping they can sort out the loose feeling I have had in the steering after have springs/struts and top mounts replaced.

As above. Sold it to the guys at TGT. Zero hassle and they came and picked it up on a trailer from my house.
Not replaced it yet. Sitting tight for the right Alpina to come along. Will keep using my other Legacy for now as it seems to be bullet proof! Might even keep it as a winter hack. It runs on all season tyres anyway, but it’s never let me down. Had it so long, it’s part of the family smile

Sorry to jump on this thread as I know you have now sold the TBSTI, but I have a BP5 GT-B with cruise and was wondering if when you had the car in at CAMS for mapping Brian got the 67mph cruise speed limit removed?

had mine in at CAMS for belts, pump, fluids etc and was discussing mapping a little down the road.

Cheers Andy

Mine arrived without cruise. So didn’t need sorting when mapped. It can be done, you just need to know where to look in the ECU files. It will be Anthony who will map it (he does Brian’s mapping). Just let him know what you want/need prior to booking it in. Just make sure you got a full tank of V Power before dropping it off.
