Currently in the middle of a 4 week hol in Europe and suprised at the lack of Subbies. 4 days in Holland and not a single one to be seen. 5 days in Sicily and saw a single Legacy (around 2005 MY?). Saw an XV in Naples and an Outback, Legacy Wagon and Sedan in Rome - all unmarked Police cars!

I couldn't imagine those places in Europe to be full of Stis with loud exhaust and nasti wastegates haha.;)

Pretty interesting you didn't see a Wrx or Sti. I think they prefer to drive their lame Golfs and /A4s xD

Got talking to one of our tour guides in Sicily who is into cars. He says he knows of no STis in Sicily at all. Have seen some modded cars with big exhausts, but not many. 

Lots of bikes - especially around Mt Etna. There is an awesome winding road up the mountain where the bikers ride like absolute nutters up and down as if it were a race track. Perfect road for an STi!!!!

So far, anywhere in Italy they drive like nutters all the time. Road rules are to be ignored and crossing a road, even at a crossing, is like a game of chicken.

As for parking. Anywhere goes. Crossings, corners, pavement, etc. And so often you see them reversing into a space and they know tbey are far enough back when they nudge the car behind. Then go forward and nudge the car in front. Mad. Only cars in Sicily witbout dents are tbose in new car showrooms!!!!

Hahaha yeah I saw nealy no jappas in Netherlands, did you see all the mini cars?? I dont mean mini the brand, in netherlands there were tonnes of like 2seater cars that were tiny as, looked like so much fun, of course straight away I imagined building one with a turbo hayabusa engine but of course someone else has already done it :)

i was thinking the same in my time in europe. didn't go very far past perimeters of amsterdam in my travels in netherlands but noticed no interesting 4 wheelers there.. i got around mainly on bicycle and trains, one of the few places i been that it's easier to bike or take public transport than try drive! in italy (other than monacco) didn't see any jap cars or for that matter any head turner cars at all. the roads are nice and windy but also not that well maintained, atleast in the areas i went to. i would hate to try own a sports car that doesn't have some kind of easy change in damper settings in italy, would be such a terrible ride. also LOL'd at your statement about the parking checks ie. bumping in to car in front and behind, or people parkig wherever the hell they want. fun times!

Got back at 4am Sunday and greeted by an absolutely freezing Auckland morning. A real shock to the system after temps in the mid 30s most days :S

 

Still didn't see any STis during our travels, but the Police in Rome seemed to have a few subbies inc this one I managed to snap..

It's good to be back and driving the STi again :x

 

 

Oh, and believe it or not, only saw one Ferrari in Italy. This little cracker in Florence...

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
