Page 2 of this thread wins, nice to get a positive perspective on it! Im sure thought that the N/A models will go alot further than the turbo ones ever will however. And i don't think i,ll be pulling part my engine just to have a look.. id end up with a pile of parts that i couldn't put back together again. If ive had the car for a year and nothings buggered up then i guess i got lucky and got a non-thrashed one. Though i was looking for about 2months before i decided on this one..

Only if they are treated the same. A lot of the N/As get maltreated because they're thought to go further (so who needs maintenance!). That said, there are plenty of examples with stupid miles on them.

I really like the suggestion someone made of either saving cash for a new engine, or building a conversion on the side. That way, if it does go BOOM (as they are sadly known for, with luck this one WON'T though!) then you get epic win out of it. If not, once the conversion is complete, you can cut & paste whenever you feel like it :)

Go old skool subaru almost impossible to kill :D

My first car was an '86 Leone, drowned it up to the windows. Got it towed home, cranked it over with plugs out to clear water from the cylinders. Changed oils and filters etc, started up and it blew about a bucket of water out the exhaust. Ran a bit rough for the first day or 2 afterwards but still went about as well as it ever did.

Seats and carpet took about a week to dry sitting out in the sun though!

      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
