[QUOTE=Letchy;676332]Yeh it's not completely accurate in some instances but overall I thought it was a very good read. It does give an answer to the good ol question: can you reflash a gc8 stock ecu: Which they say you can't do it to all pre97 models. I found that quite inspiring haha[/QUOTE]

I'm not a full bottle when it comes to tuning, but I know it was popular in the rs lib and pre 97 wrx to tune the stock ecu with a chip. Fats used to have his own and over east the Vos chip was popular.

"WRX Ralleye - late November 1995 saw Subaru Australia release the first in a series of special editions, the first called the Ralleye, cashing in on the success of the WRC team. Only small numbers were available, and featured a Prodrive blue paint job, colour coding of door handles and door mirrors"

They must have run out of the colour coded door handles and mirrors when they built mine then, blue paint doesn't quite fade like black plastic.. and it's spelt 'Rallye.' Just sayin! ;)

Seemed like a bit of an add for MRT & probably written by them too, I've seen something similar on YouTube on the 22B done by Brett Middleton......even says the 4 pots were made by Brembo???

The 99/00 sti has color code as standard I think, and Gomer are you referring to the 22b having brembo's or the wrx? The 22b had brake upgrades over std but I couldn't say what they are..

Pimpreza 09-05-2012 08:33 PM

99% sure the 22B had the same 4 pots as ours but he says they are made by Brembo. I'll have a look for it.

Found them. 1.19sec

the 22b has the same sumitumo branded 4 pots as a standard GC8 but they are painted red

So it seems, I could swear that I remember seeing a 22b at motivation like 5 years ago which had different brakes, they must have been changed I spouse or it was the crack kicking in..

As did MMS back in the 90's...my MY94 WRX had a MMS twin ROM chip installed in about 1995...it was also the first WRX in WA to have four pots installed (later) and an MY99-type rear wing ....

Can you remember exactly what the computers did steve? I have one out of Steve's car and think that it will go in the old boys wagon eventually but it would be nice to know what boost etc it changed.

cheers

^^ I honestly can't remember what the chip enhanced Tom....ask Rob, he would know....I'm not sure what Steve's original ECU had in it.
