Will pass its MOT every time for emissions, unlike most other FI cars. Cosworth Supercharged and intercooled. Potentially the best engineered Forced Induction kit for the car and comprehensively tested by their R&D team. Tuned personally by Cosworth senior engineer using ECUTEK tuning software. Original pulley installed to keep boost levels to a fast road car levels. Smaller pulley available for those wanting a bit more grunt. Fully road legal with both cats (stock exhaust system and headers) Upgraded Stage 1 Exedy clutch to handle the extra torque and goodridge braided clutch line for better feel Fully sound deadened professionally to minimise road noise Upgraded Focal 165 Toy speakers and tweeters and Toyota OZ head unit replacing the old radio CD unit New AC condensor fitted and gas refilled. Excellent cooling in the current summer heat. Currently running EBC discs with PFC Z fronts and Cosworth Streetmaster rear pads, Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 tyres. All having good life Over the time enhancements to improve convenience and appearance: Arm Rest, Mudflaps , reverse parking sensors (cobra similar to the german cars without big ring around the sensor), MTec Shifter springs, 2018 suspension to improve road comfort, battery upgraded to Yuasa higher KwH and CCA, Painted brake callipers, Zunsport front Grille, tS badges and red vinyl detailing Mechanical parts meticulously maintained with quality oils with huge number of receipts Underbody rust proofed as car was meant to be a keeper. Bodywork, interior and wheels have minor marks, chips and wear similar to a car of this age and mileage. Front DRL has minor water ingress not affecting its function. The car has had a body polish and clean annually. Ready to go to an enthusiast. No lowball offers please.

    OEM upgraded oil filter

    Oil starvation is due to the oil pick up in the Sump not having oil. This happens on long sweeping corners. A bigger oil filter 160 mm instead of 130 won't solve the issue. You need a baffled sump plate. Sent from my SM-G781B using Tapatalk

    Engine temps in the winter

    I had a similar thought as you and had asked Matt@Cosworth and his feedback was as under. the low temp thermostat in the car, this is worth about 3-4 bhp on its own plus you can then get another 1.5° of spark in there as the heads are colder which results in another 3 bhp Am sure Cosworth did their R&D thoroughly on it and have spent hours on testing the engine on an engine dyno which no one else has done. That is why came up with a LT Thermostat in their package. If it were just a transient gain, they wouldn't recommend it.

    Engine temps in the winter

    The oil cooler will have a small flow through always. So it's technically always working ( whether at full opening or partial). Better is to put a blocker in front of the oil cooler like others have said. I have seen cardboard used here also seen JDM number plate holder which blocks part of front grille. It's also impt for the oil to get above 100C on and off as fuel in oil and water in oil only vaporise above that temp. Otherwise you have oil dilution issues which are evident if you send oil for Millers used oil analysis. Sent from my SM-G781B using Tapatalk

    Quiet exhaust recommendation

    The invidia Q300 is also excellent with decat manifold. It's a bit too quiet with OE manifold. Sent from my SM-G781B using Tapatalk

    Cat back & manifold advice

    Tuning Developments used to be a good option in the past but there are loads of recent negative reviews by members , so I will suggest you avoid. Why don't you buy the parts you like from who ever offers you the best price and get it fitted from your trusted independent or main Toyota, Subaru dealer. It is quite an easy job for any competent mechanic. You don't need a tune to drive home. Once back get a remote ECUTEK tune from Abbey or Fensport for your hardware combination. They will rent you the hardware needed to tune and its quite easy to do it. Sent from my SM-G781B using Tapatalk
