Hey Domino, looks like you been very busy. Can I ask you whats that Perrin wing riser like to live with ??

I use the hatch on mine regularly and the thought of restricting its travels seems a right ball ache.

You got any pics of how far it opens now ?  Do you regret doing it now its fitted etc etc ?

Yeah been busy as always but with two other Subaru projects going aswell iv got to spread the love between them all lol

To be honest there not to bad , sorry haven't got any pics with it open ,, don't regret fitting them and seems to keep the rear window a bit cleaner lol ,, only thing iv noticed is it does make the boot lid stop at head level so I did bang my head a couple of times when they were first put on but I'm used to it now and it hasn't stopped me putting anything inside mine yet and I do use it like a hatchback and often have to flip my seats down for stuff she has brought at B&Q lol

OK, shoot some pics up from different angles when you get a chance. I cant quite decide, some of the images Ive seen are from a distance but I wasn't impressed, but would like a closer look. I like the idea in principle

Will get some pics up. In the next couple of days for you

Sorry kgt with this bad weather I haven't managed to get the pics you wanted with the boot open but I will try and get some very soon for you,

Managed to finish the mapping in between showers lol ,,, to my delight it made 506bhp , to say I'm happy is a understatement lol

No probs mate, would want you getting back door ripped off in these winds.

You must be over the moon with those mapping figures. I'll be handing mine over in the Spring now.
Wont see 500, but should see 30% up from standard which should be tasty.

Yes I was very suprised and happy isn't the word really ,, even when I first got this one I thought it drove great but seeing as it had loads spent on the engine it seemed a waste not to increase things a bit and I was honestly expecting around 450 as there isn't much info around for the forced performance turbos so i was just going by the tiny bit of info I could find as I got it really cheap ,, all on pump fuel aswell no meth here

One of the lads who used to get on here a lot (iddysti) has an FP turbo on his car and I'm sure he'll have researched the hell out of that purchase. It was on his Hawk which was touching 600hp and now its on his new saloon which I'm sure will be getting the steroids treatment soon too.

Drop him a PM, likely he'll get back to you with information if you want any. Alternatively drop the engine doctor Mr Kindon a line, pretty sure he built the lump in Hardys car.

Thanks for the info ,, yeah iv already spoken to Andy about the engine , first thing I done before buying the car was ask my good friend Mr Rawle if he knew of Andy and he spoke highly of him so that was enough for me

Last pics shows how close it gets to the roof but never been a worry

Another coat of paint on it and you would worry looks close that

There adjustable so you can set how high you want your boot to open , but if you set it to low you just bang your head all the time ,, but it did take me and a friend to set it this close without any worry lol ,,,

Here is my last graph just in case anyone wanted a look 506/488
