Car only has 210 miles on it...I have been going through the brake in process. The stock map is ****...I just flashed it Stage 1 for now....but as I said Stage 2 this weekend...A TBE and a Cobb off the shelf map will not harm the car, it's how you drive it for the first ~1000k so miles that will do any damage. The car has barely seen any boost yet. Of course once my tuner pro tunes it with fuel pump, CAI, BOV, etc...he will have to WOT it...so obsviously I'm not doing it until I reach 1k and drop the oil and switch to Rotella T6.
My tuner who is a well respected tuner in the country wanted me to flash the car before leaving the dealer...but I didn't have the AP on me. |

I would imagine that anyone that has the money to tune a brand new car immediately after buying it probably has the means to pick up new or rebuilt drivetrain components and isn't really worried about the warranty.

So...I went in to a dealership about 60 miles away to check out PBP in person. It was an '11 STi hatch, but it was sold and the owner was supposed to pick it up tomorrow. I absolutely love the color. I ordered my '12 WRX premium hatch in PBP. Now I just have to wait 2-3 months. It's gonna be a long wait, but I know it'll be worth it! I can't wait to add to this thread.

PS. If you have a 2007 subaru wrx sti and you are complaining about the horrible stock map. I can sympathise, anything else, just wasting badnwidth n memories. amp2oo1, nice ride, when your rally amour flaps fall off. Try ikea dralla cutting board. But then again, if you can afford a corvette,i think you can afford another rally amour flaps, but here is the link anyway, i found on the forum. Going to do that to my 2012 pbp http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...875708&page=13 5 dollars flaps. instead of 149 dollars. http://www.dirtyimpreza.com/forums/s...?t=7305&page=5 back up reference.

Buying car for the PBP
I was not sure what I was going to do, but I like the color so much I ordered one. Unfortunately I do not think the WRX limited is worth the 30K they want for it, there are better options for the price. Alas, if the car is not built with at least decent quality I guess I can always sell it right. I just think they have too many rattles and are a little behind on the technology compared to the other options at this price, I know I know, this car is for purists. The 5 speed with the crappy gearing is the worst part. Sorry had to get that off my chest. Anyhow, amazing color and props to all that own it.
