I doubt it does anything more than make the shifting smoother/faster.

hi nice car.

Where did you get the led lights?

What lip is that?

Did you take off the front and rear grey pieces that come on the outback sport?

Yes I do get better MPG.

The torque is up front, and yes it almost eliminated the shift lag if that's what you are referring to as "smoother shifting".

Only about 90 made for the 2.5i, just have to keep your eyes open for them. They come on the market every once and a while.

They don't have an NA version 3. The reason the NA is so limited is because there just simply wasn't enough demand or tuners who wanted to make maps.

Where did you get your head unit from? Which wiring are you referring to?

So better throttle response is my main goal as of now. I hate the "lag" my car has when I start from idle. I've heard from many helpful people on this forum about tuning it with an Accessport and lightened pulley cranks. So other than those, what will give my car (2010 Impreza 2.5i) noticeable better throttle response with virtually no lag? Thanks guys

If it's auto, always drive in sport mode. Otherwise it's just terrible in regular auto

Drop in air filter, lighter crank pulley, and stiffer drivetrain bushings.

Also I thought the accessports that were available only worked for 08/09 models?

Tryin to race bro?

You should get a supercharger for it.


On a serious note... the 4eat suck so much. There is almost nothing you can do to fix the lag. While restarting the ecu made a difference sometimes, it would always relearn and lag like it use to prior to resetting. Honestly, if you are complaining about speed, you bought the wrong car. Shouldve bought a honda with that vtec breh!

A combination of boredom/impatience/dontwanttowaituntilspring. Took off the old V-Limited and put on the Bayson-R Front Lip.

On the winter wheels with General Altimax Arctics.

I can't get myself to do it. I love the ground clearance especially in the hilly town I live in.

My summer Prodrives have larger tires on them so it fills the wheel gap a little better.

Have a question. Have a 2010 Impreza and my thermometer on my dashboard keeps blinking. I didn't find anything in the owners manual about what the problem can be, if there is one. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it means?
