Engine light is on, the car itself knows the problem so no point trying to guess unless there's something real obvious

I might be able to get the code out of it with the cable I have - tho andy-mac lives on your side of town I think?

Or maybe it can give the code out through the dash plugs, I'm not sure if rev D will or not TBH

how important is lining up the timing belt marks during the timing belt change? Personally I've done it because the instructions said to, but other people are saying it doesn't matter....

Marks on the belt are a guide to make it easier to get the alignment right when you first put the belt on. Marks on the cam gears, timing covers and crank gear is the most important.

If you don't line up the belt with the marks on the pulley's, you've got a very strong chance of bending valves and requiring a rebuild.

Yip, my rears took everything a 20 ton shop press had. Put a light smear of grease on the splines when reinstalling so it'll come out by hand next time.

Came out pretty easily in the end. Couple of whacks from the hammer and a piece of wood and they both came free. Yea greasing everything i think i might end up pulling apart one day. Your hub swap how to was bloody brilliant too. Took most of the guess work out of it

well, when I did it, I must have missed a tooth slightly, and hand turning the motor one cam would go out of alignment... took a few goes before I could do a few+ hand turns and it would re-align perfectly.

The marks are a safety net that you can "reset" the engine back to if you stuff up somehow - belt skips a tooth, accidentally turned a cam, etc etc. You can do a change without them as long as you know exactly how many degrees everything should be turned relative to everything else, but why make more work when Subaru's done it for you?

Hi, I was wondering if there is any difference in handling between a factory v7 Sti RA, v7 Sti Spec C and normal v7 Sti. I know the Sti Ra Spec C has the pink sti suspension but was wondering if it really had a massive advantage when compared to a normal sti.

Also was wanting to know peoples experiences when comparing the v7 Sti Ra Spec C to a normal v7 sti, are they really worlds apart in handling and power due to cams ?

Thanks

      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
