PFC does that too but the CELs not too easy to see as it's a bit dim.

Interesting to hear that PFC's for Imprezas may get cheaper. Quite the opposite for GTR related versions. Now they're discontinued, people are having to pay beyond retail for them it seems. Admitedly second hand ones are a little cheaper but not by much at all.

once you hear it you`ll find you use it quite a bit :-D

If you use it in the paddock you will be excluded from the event, no ifs buts or maybes. Its a pain in the arse.

Only as PFCs are being swapped for Simteks. 2nd hand units are now readily available.

i cant find one :lol: well not for my age anyway seen a few for the earlier and later cars :x
wish i had snapped your old one up now gerry but timing was all wrong, keep your eyes peeled for me

andy916 has one which he has not fitted yet wonder if he fancys making a quick buck and sell it to me

dont get me wrong the simtec is probably a better ecu but im not convinced about running without a maf plus i have a brand new spanking maf so should be ok for a while another factor is engine advantages is only 10 mins away from me so easy to get map changed if things change on the car , i also like the look of the commanders data

little update i have managed to purchase myself a power fc and commander that i will get next week and mapped asap
also got a set of cusco zero-2 coilovers
, that look pretty good and worth a try for what i paid for a set all i need is to get them fitted and set up properly, be nice to reduce the understeer a little

well my cornflakes have been dribbled on
the cusco coilovers are a no go even after the guy telling me there mine making time arangments for collection and then no replies

and as for the power fc im now on the lookout again as the one i had lined up told me to cancell my cheque as he has had some issues with his car so now not selling, cheque was sent at the weekend

cheapest new one i can find at the moment is
