There are a few dash swaps in Perth.

Main issue is the harness, easier when you swap a late model harness in. Then you need the support beam and good to go.

Jimmy, JDM got hyperneurotic pistons, AUDM got forged.

Hyperspastics are an unknown quantity and for piece of mind I'd get a power run done somewhere local for $50-100 (don't know what the current rate is) to check AFR's/knock.

I think I'll book it into evo r for a run then.

Still using gc8 door cards, they fit in nice and snug with no gaps.

I am running a full 05 Sti harness so almost everything was a matter of plug and play

Well I took the advice and booked in for some dyno time on Saturday morning. Here's hoping everything is ok.

IIRC its because Subi decided that with our worse fuel and hotter conditions our cars would take more of a beating.
