The closest comparison I can think of would be like having a super heavy flywheel. If you let out the clutch and give it gas, it takes second or two to build momentum and then it seems fine, although I did notice a bit of hesitation between shifts which is now gone after the new update. Prior to the update, when I was stopped at a light for example, I would have to increase the revs to about 2k for the car to accelerate properly. If not, and this happened on a number of occasions, all the lights on the dash would come on as if the car was going to stall. The car feels stronger and pulls harder off the line. If we could tune our cars, low to mid torque could be improved but of course, there isn't a whole lot of support for our non turbo cars.

Anybody have a link to where I can order some yellow fog lights for a 2012 Impreza? Couldn't figure out how to search this thread.

Bulbs, I've looked into overlays but want to cover the bulbs, and lenses I guess also.

Right, I want the look but won't sacrifice functionality. I'll probably just go the film route, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

I wouldn't expect an ECU flash to make a ton of difference in this econobox. I'm sure you can tune it to make a little bit more power, but I wouldn't expect a whole lot. Just my .02

I used Lamin-X on my fogs too. But instead of ordering the Forester product, I ordered one 4x8 inch sheet, cut it in half, applied the film, and then trimmed it to size.
Make sure you apply this stuff when it's warm outside. On my VW, I applied it in the winter, and couldn't get all the creases out because it was too stiff. |

Has anyone installed the Perrin lightweight crankshaft pulley? Any issues or error codes after installation?

Now, I am going to bring it back with the thread pulled up on my phone, and show them the part of the service invoice from italia490's thread, and see if they can just do what they did to his car. Some people think an ECM reflash is all about getting more horsepower when it is sometimes just about getting better throttle response. If we found a tuning company to look into our ECMs maybe they can find a couple horses, but more importantly smooth out the throttle response. |

At least to my understanding.

Since you have no idea what you are talking about, maybe you should keep your $0.02 to yourself. The issue has nothing to do with shifting. If that was the case, why would there be an ECM re-flash for the manual. Has a TSB been released for the manual....I can't say for certain but what i can say from my own experience is that there is clearly an issue with driveability on the earlier '12 imprezas and that there is a noticeable improvement after the re-flash. |

I like that the Lamin-X product is thick because it provides more protection against rock damage. And it wears well over time. |

Contacted Perrin about the CP to see if there are any issues such as a check engine light coming on but no response yet. My Co-worker put a light weight crank pulley on his Nissan Juke and that cause the the check engine light to come on.

Perrin is not the most responsive company...I've spent a month sending them messages and emails and only have gotten one answer.
I know from reading through the forums that a cat-back exhaust would void warranty. So, I don't want to do that or the muffler delete because of the cut out in the bumper. Any suggestions on aftermarket mufflers? I want less restriction and a better sound. |
