Yeah garage thread is on the way... sometime.. Is only running on the factory ecu with some clever wire bridging to keep it in "drive" and start in any gear. Next couple of weeks and there will be a link ticking away in the passenger footwell :-)

F*** yea - that's cool @Joker

Yep I found that thread, Gen3's definitely do run a standalone TCU. I found a page from a Japanese guy who's done a conversion on a BG5A http://machax.s319.xrea.com/m2/bg5/drv/002.html I even went through a lot of American stuff, worked out which wiring needs to be mucked around with on their setup(As their facelift BD/BG ECU also runs a bolt on single connector instead of the usual 4 or 3 plug deal) Only to realise afterwards that it's actually completely different again to a BG5C AT ECU connector. This diagram is the only thing really that I've been able to find and even then it's not much help as it's largely unlabeled and the parts that are are in Japanese.

I'm in Australia, TT Legacys are very uncommon here compared to acrss the ditch unfortunately which makes things difficult. I tried searching around a bit but couldn't find anything useful.

Theyre allgood just not their area of expertise autotech wouldve been my pick.

^^ cant figure how to delete this bit. But Im getting another factory ecu next week that I can modify and make a short plug in loom between the existing one and the link. I know your not too fond of them but ill be getting sublab to hook it all up and get it running safely, also to sort any gremlins with the vdc/abs bullcrap.

Sounds promising you sorted out wiring and tuner?

It comes stock with 134kW, with an overboost to 149kW (for 20 seconds when you jam on the accelerator, resetting every time you take the foot off, so pretty much always). Most of the OTT tunes bump it up to around 160kW (including the Mountune). I had a Bluefin tune (162kW claimed), Mountune short-shift kit, and a CPE engine mount. The factory tyres are RE050As so only 'OK' for grip, and not great in the cold (but still better than the Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres on the WRX: what were you thinking Subaru?) I was looking at the Quaife LSD, but soon came to realise that the two-door just wasn't family friendly (moment of realisation came a few months ago when I went to pick up some KEF floorstanders and had to use the wife's Honda Jazz because they wouldn't fit in my car. The embarrassment). I could see it wouldn't be a long-term ownership. I tried the updated Focus ST as well, but the FWD put me off, as did the problems I've seen with the 2.0 ecoboost (the 1.6 is totally solid in comparison, with people getting 400HP with totally stock internals). The WRX is a manual Premium. It's way more practical, much faster, but less goofy fun (brakes and gearbox are a big step down from the Fiesta, but I'll work on those. Not much I can do about the lightness and go-kart factor: WRX is the same basic size and weight as my old Legacy). I only have 250 km on it ATM, so hopefully shifting will smooth itself out a bit over the next few months.

I can trace my sign up date back to September 2004. My 18th Birthday and my first Subaru.

i'm on here now

Well! One way to liven up your OB / H6, Slap a manual on the back! Fun Times! Apoligies for the shoddy pics :-)
