Hi all,

I just wanted to check, as i have seen quite a few (and supposed to be rare)
How many B4's out there?
Add if you have one.

No one knows but there is a fair bit if you look hard, last week saw 2 blue ones.
Cheers

b4s arent that rare as they are a ADM delivered car.
the GTBs, blitzen or RSKs however are quite rare

3 or 4 in Griffith atm ,always thought it was a pretty good idea having a primary and a secondary turbo , then I drove a couple and am now convinced that it's a great idea

Yeah there's a few getting around, i frickin love mine. They are not without probs, the aus tune was shit house so they ping in hot weather and a lot killed big ends cause of it. The twin set up can leave a big hole in the power curve where it changes from single to twin operation (know as VOD, valley of death). A retune can pretty well fix both these probs though.
Mine has a really good change over with little VOD but i get a bit of pinging, on a cool day though its a truckload of fun.

Yea i love mine, but have seen many in Brisbane lately even with VOD it sill has quite an ezy job of smashing them at the lights if need be.
Recently broke my speed record on looooong quiet rd in middle of nowhere west NSW... This car just fits!

There's one about 4 doors down from me, so I see one nearly every day. It has a small "MRT" sticker on the back and it sounds quite nice. I'll have to stop and have a chat to the owner about it one of these days ......

I spoke with the guys at MRT about EKUTEK tune, most seem to get this done and upgrade muffler.However after speaking with John French Subaru (qld)
They have suggested i will be unimpressed with the retune for the $ spent.
Wont see much more power,but will smoothen VOD out a little.. will be quite costly.
Think i am happy to keep standard.

EKUTEK is overpriced these days as there are plenty of people who can retune them for ya for less money and as much power (and inversely, reliability) as you want.

To tune or not to tune.... this is the question?

In Melbourne you can get it retuned by Subaru at STI Docklands which i think is the ultimate admission of a crap standard tune. I havent had it done cause im happy enough with mine as is. Check out www.rslibertyclub.org perhaps for good Brisbane based tuners if no one on here knows of any.
