I hate having money, my bank account, wallet whatever its all gotta go so had to get a Subi lol.

Seriously just loved watching the WRC cars, had to have a subi, had to have a WRX. Kinda forgot my fetish for a bit and was all set to buy a Mazda 323 wagon one day when I drove past my first WRX and I handed over the cash 24 hours later.

Dont regret it, not for a second.

always loved the bc5, from the day i saw mcrae throwing the beast around at the rally of NZ, i knew i was gonna get one. i love performance cars, and rally cars use everyday roads, so have always been more fond of them, as somewhere in the back of my mind they have always been a more "real" option, and subaru is always my first, very biased, choice.

i love the sound, love the availability of parts and that the engine is so different from anything else out there.

plus, whenever i play the"if i won lotto" game, i would have a very large garage, the rally type cars would be the order of the day, and subies would rule the roost.

well i got my subbie cause the car yard i went to, i asked to look at turbo 4wd cars and they only happened to have a couple of wrxs, took one for a test drive and bought it on return to the yard, never looked back although it has cost a small fortune.

also i had always wanted a turbo subaru one day just never thought i'd be able to afford one.

I used to work at a service station and just fell in love with the subaru sound and being from matamata i'd heard enough tractors so didn't want an evo.

Had a 93 last of the single turbo legacy's before the old man wanted to sell his wrx and my legacy had blown it beb 6months early so i sound the cyborg i had got a loan and bought my old mans car.

As they say the rest is history.

i bought subs for the sound! like everyone else did, and why do i have a legacy, basically after turning my mint wrx into a crumpled tin can the insurance money i had left over wasnt all that great and i still wanted a turbo and i found this tt pos that i have it runs well enough i guess, all in al the rumble of a sub cruising down lumbo when i was a teen got me going and since then ive owed em bc5-my00-bd5(FAIL)

A mate up the road has had Impreza's since his second car, loved the sound. Then went on a roadtrip to Whangamata in another mates car (1997 GTB) and fell inlove with the power!

Sold my 1500cc auto pulsar "GTiR" ;D and went in search of a GTB... Drove one and didnt like it (it was auto too) then dad pointed to the Forester next to it, drove it, fell in love, Didn't want to pay $8500 for it though so went in search of a cheaper one. While searching I was driven insane by having to borrow mum's 2000 Ford Mondeo (which my brother and I couldnt kill no matter how hard we tried), so when my car popped up on trademe NZ new for $5000 I grabbed it...

you know the rest ::) ...

      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
